That's the company that made those assassin games
Nice try EA, but you're not getting my golden ideas for free.
They aren't your partner, they're one of your children.
Either get comfortable with that, or dump 'em.
You can be single and still have lots of friends and socializing.
I was just posting in another thread about how I remade the armrest of my Traveler Guitar to be more comfortable. The one it comes with is super uncomfortable to me, so I redesigned it to be shaped more like a Squier. Images here .
All I really needed was some cardboard, some calipers, and Blender. Though, to get the measurements just so, I had to make a bunch of little virtual rulers (the yellow strips). In CAD, you wouldn't need those since the measurements are described directly in the process of making the part.
Your opinion is exactly what they're aiming for. Just waiting for people to become complacent enough for them to take over without any resistance at all.
Chrome isn't a bad option because it's not a good browser. Their goal is to make the best browser possible so that everyone switches to it.
It's a bad option because if everyone uses a single browser, the developer of that browser owns all decisions about how the internet is allowed to be built. That isn't a good thing. Not when Microsoft tried to do it, and not while Google is trying to do it.
If Google takes over development of all browsing options (including the ones that depend on it's base code, like Edge), web-based tech will stagnate due to lack of competition (and so, a lack of the need to innovate), and privacy will disappear (even more than it already has). And good luck blocking ads in a browser that doesn't allow the addons to function.
Google has proven itself to be a company that doesn't just kill competition, but also it's own projects if they don't perform the way they want. They don't care about proper copyright protection or enforcement, they don't care about privacy, and they don't care about you (no corporation does).
I've known my best friend for 20.5 years. We're getting married in March (close to the 21 year mark).
Well done; you missed the point entirely, slung some useless mud, and figured out a way to turn it into self- praise. You should run for office.
Everyone stop what you're doing at look over here at... "TokenBoomer"... they'll get to the bottom of this, on a web forum, deep in a thread with... Hey! 5 boosts! We're almost there, I can feel it.
Like and subscribe, thoughts and prayers.
It was a hypothetical, I was just using myself as an example. Here's one that's not hypothetical:
I'm already a practiced in 3D modelling, UV unwrapping, texturing, lightning, rendering, compositing, etc. I could recreate a painting, pixel for pixel, in 3D space.
If I just hit render, is that my art now? It took a lot of research to learn how to do this, I should be able to make money on that effort, right?
I can do that millions of times and get the same result. I can set it on a loop and get as many as I want. It's the same as copying the first render's file, it just takes longer.
Now I decide to change the camera angle. Almost the entire image is technically different now, but the composition is the same. The colors, the subjects, relative placement in the scene, all the same, but it's not really the same image anymore. Is it mine yet?
I can set the camera to a random X,Y,Z position, and have it point at a random object in the scene (so it never points off into blank space). Are those images mine? It's never the same twice, but it still has the original artist's style of subjects and lighting. I can even randomize each subjects position, size, hue, direction, add a modifier that distorts them to be wobbly or cubic... I can start generating random objects and throwing them in too, let's call those "hallucinations", thats a fun word...
At what specific point in this madness does the imagery go from someone else's work to mine?
I absolutely can generate millions of unique images all day. Without using machine learning, based on work I recreated with my own human hands, and code I write uniquely from my experience and abilities. None of the work - artistically - is mine. I made no decisions on composition, style, meaning, mood, color theory, etc.
You may want to try to write these questions off, but I can tell you with certainty that other artists won't.
I've been using Clevo laptops for years. Large user base, lots of great Linux support. I just run Ubuntu, haven't had many issues (and no critical issues).
They usually get rebranded, and I've gotten them through IBuyPower, Origin, and... can't remember the other one. My most recent one was just straight up marketed as a Clevo, got it on Amazon.
You might have one or two odd issues (like having to install custom code to configure the RGB key backlights), but there are plenty of users to ask for assistance on various forums and repos.

The point of my original post was that their update cadence is slower. The point of my followup reply is that they are not devoid of updates, either.
They have a release every 1-2 years, and it's packed full for various tweeks, improvements, and new features. They fix broken shit, and enhance where it makes sense.
I don't need my window manager to get fad features, and I don't need constant updates. It does what I want it to do already.
xfce ftw.
