Maybe I am just an old nostalgic fart but I have games that I own that are over 30 years old that I still have access to and regularly play and that’s how I like it.

I personally don’t at all see any benefit to the consumer that subscription based gaming provides. Arguably you can access more games for less money, but if video streaming is anything to go by (increased prices, less content across more and more services, ads creeping back in etc), that value proposition won’t last long.

I don’t think there are that many bots here because of [reason 1], [reason 2], and [reason 3].

And I for one am certainly not a “goes against OpenAI use policy".

This is similar to the allergy I have to layer below the earth’s crust…

I think this is where nothing can possi-bly go wrong.

This picture is inaccurate as it is impossible to be both full of cheese and not be smiling.

I feel like Chaotic Evil should be the bed upside down AND at an angle.

It’s actually a fairly common thing in Australia - otherwise known as a spaghetti jaffle (jaffle is a type of toastie for the uninitiated) - and they are AWESOME!

It generates the blurst of code!

“Don’t cry, you can run bash on Windows 10 now”… pure awesomeness! Haha

Ha, I feel like that for almost all these “Heathcliff without Heathcliff” posts!

Well maybe if she had shown more interest in his pull requests, he wouldn’t be off forking other repos!

A lot of people posting that the threat of theft or interference will put a halt to drone delivery, but I wonder if that will really be a problem when looking at the the return on investment. A lot of people have said similar things about self service checkouts but industry keeps pushing on.

The cost of drone delivery will shrink dramatically over time (labour and energy being the two big ones) especially if you compare it to equivalent service levels (e.g. same day delivery) so much so that companies would likely easily absorb the costs - if it all works of course.

Is it really that different to the vrooming of cars that we have grown accustomed to?

HA, I read the title and thought “what is going on? I love my seat warmers” - I completely overlooked the word subscription because it is absolutely absurd that there would be an ongoing cost to the consumer for a feature that provides no ongoing cost to the manufacturer.

This is one of the most educational and entertaining reads on the internet, if you are into that kind of thing:

“If our F-DLC coating were adopted globally, it would noticeably curtail carbon emissions and water usage for the existing power infrastructure”

There are clearly benefits to increasing the efficiency of the steam cycle, but I feel like for 2% this is a bit of an overstatement.

What did I just watch? And why do I feel like I need it in my life??

a + b = c;

My code is so good at mimicking the human brain that it can do basic arithmetic!

If the stats are accurate then this is not necessarily due to people being unhappy and leaving as both comments and posts are still stable - indicating that the lower active count are lurkers, duplicates or otherwise non engaging accounts.

That said, you can come up with statistics to prove anything! Forfty percent of all people know that.

If my router drops packets on the rug, should I rub their WAN port in it?
