Have you seen none of the flyers/banners that popped up this election? The fact that he's a felon is celebrated. The fact that he's a rapist is celebrated. The fact that he openly speaks against overtime pay is celebrated. Fuck, even his divorces are celebrated. He could literally shoot someone in the face at a rally, and it would just boost his support.
He's Homelander, but fat and without superpowers.
All of this anticheat bs is still making the baseline assumption that the problem needs to be solved at the expense of the players.
It's illegal to steal someone else's property. We don't enforce that law by cutting off everyone's hands preemptively so that there is less demand on police to solve a problem that hasn't happened yet...
If people are assholes and go against the wishes of society, you police and moderate them. If they can't moderate their platform, that isn't the fault of the community - it's a failing of the corporation. It's such a ridiculous mindset. It's a fucking video game...
Assuming that's about 5x5', and going by the price of the first tungsten cube found on Google, this would be worth about 15 million dollars. Decent prize of you could move 150,000lb.
You underestimate the capacity for corporate pettiness
Simple solution is to not pay Netflix and just pirate their content. They go out of their way to make the experience worse for paying customers on a regular basis. Sonarr+Jellyfin on an old computer with no video card and you've got a better Netflix where your content doesn't just magically disappear or fail to play on some devices.
11 out of 24... I would have done better just clicking randomly
As with any invisible or otherwise difficult to monitor birth control method, this is really only for people in dedicated relationships.
It goes both ways. A man shouldn't trust a women he just met to be on birth control. A women should have the same reservations.
This is for people who can trust a long term partner, and who wouldn't be destroyed by the failure of the product. And that's still a huge market.
These things were NEVER fucking left open at the park near me. Could wait there the entire day and the same fucking kid would be using it the entire time, completely oblivious to your attempts to get him to move.
I swear, I probably only touched the thing once when i was a child. I came back with my daughter a few years ago and nobody was giving it a second glance. Used my kid as an excuse to finally get to play with the thing...
For daily use, sure - but it completely excludes itself as an option for road trips in the US and parts of Canada. There's a stretch of interstate road near me with nearly a 100 mile gap between service stations.
I know that this isn't the purpose of this battery, but it's a valid reason why a lot of people might be hesitant to buy one. Many people can't afford multiple vehicles for different purposes. You have the car you drive to work with, and if you happen to go on a trip you just use the same thing.
Maybe 99% of use occurs within constraints that this battery can handle, but if you can only afford one vehicle, then this is still a pretty suboptimal option. That being said... it could still be cheap enough to not matter. I didn't see any mention of price in that article.
I'm guessing you missed the time period where opening the wrong page would give you an infinite loop of un-closeable pop-up windows with background music.
Ads were never really non-obtrusive. If advertisers could force you to listen to their slogan at max volume every time you opened your browser, they would do so without hesitation. If you ever saw an easily avoidable ad in the late 90s-early 00s, it wasn't for lack of trying. They simply hadn't personally figured out more annoying methods yet.
Yeah, that's completely untrue... The reason we can't just create a new youtube is the same reason there aren't more ISPs. The infrastructure cost is too high.
You can't just build a site that allows video uploads and playback, throw it on a Pi and release it to the world. You need scalability, and that costs money.
Maybe the end solution is a distributed system, but that's not something you can easily sell to the average Joe that doesn't give a shit about the "how" or "why" with Youtube, and simply wants to watch videos.
I'm not saying that Google isn't the scum of the earth, but there is currently no feasible way to recreate what they've made/bought without an absolutely stupid amount of money.
Not hidden the fact that they knew about the issues years ahead of when they actually did anything?
Intel was denying RMAs up until a few months ago, when by all accounts they had been aware of an issue at some point early 2023 or late 2022. And then for months they let game developers and GPU manufacturers take blame for something they had nothing to do with. If Nvidia hadn't pointed at Intel, and level1tech and gamersnexus didn't make damning videos about it, we could still be where we were earlier this year. They were just forced to acknowledge fault.
The fact that they're doing the right thing now doesn't excuse what they did before that. Seems perfectly reasonable to claim damages for something that occurred prior. Although I doubt this guy will ever see any money come of this. Arrow Lake looks like a flop so far, and Battlemage is riding entirely on the backing of the CPU department. Intel's immediate future isn't exactly looking great.
