What about the god of stepping in spaghetti? Maybe fapping to that is like, prayer or something.

Ever since they killed third party apps, I stopped using it on my phone. Now whenever I have time to kill on my phone, I'm on Lemmy. My PC still has the old interface and such, so i still check it from time to time at home, but never on mobile. I'm on mobile for news far more than at my desktop.

I recently took some college classes and they had us run our papers through gramarly to check for errors and to help our writing.

I hated it. It took the voice of your writing out almost completely and every sentence was weighted to be written like a standard textbook. Sure, all the same information was there, but when the ai said it was good... It sounded like it was just written by ai in the first place. Making it happy was worse than writing the paper in the first place since the grammar portion of the grading was simply 'run it through ai and mark down for any errors it picks up'.

You think if he was shot the gun manufacturer would use that in their advertising?

[–] ApatheticCactus@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Agreed. Little vodka, some tomato juice or clamato, olives, wustershire sauce, hot sauce... Now I want one.

Well, yeah- but what if they could sell the problem AND the solution?

Do I want my face in ads? No. Not at all.

Would I want this same tech used to character swap myself into movies, or just swap actors in whatever? ...okay yeah that might be kinda fun novelty.

It wasn't really even a 'flaw' or 'exploit'. It was more a matter of 'if your chip can handle it, go for it assuming you have good cooling and know what you're doing.

Everything was more or less running at a "safe" speed so that the largest number of chips would be stable at, though it was known to pretty much everone that you could easily overclock for a little more performance.

I mean, there were boards built specifically to overclock, but they were more spendy. Sometimes you could get a cheaper board to overclock with a trick.

It wasn't until overclocking became widespread enough that chipmakers would try to limit it to sell some chips as higher speed and premium pricing. That's when it started getting locked down.

Was a sweet time when you could buy a budget chip that was identical silicon to the faster chips and just tune it to get the same, if not better, performance for cheap.

I'm dubious of the recycling claim. The partially cured resin is dissolved in some secret solvent. Usually when you dissolve something in a solvent, the intention isn't to recover the dissolved resin. They didn't really discuss the recovery process, leading me to think it's theoretically possible, but nobody will practically do it.

Still, dissolveable supports with a single resin mix is pretty cool.

Ever played Soma, by any chance?

I have two working PS3s and one broken 360.

One of the PS3s is a launch unit. Impressive machine.
