I’m not familiar with the Gundam series, but I’ve seen the YouTube video of why Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim works while the sequel does not, it feels like the people animating the promo should have as well. The gameplay looked better then the pre-rendered scenes, which should never really be a thing.

Agree, Google used to be able to turn a light on and off if you enunciated it very clearly. Used to. Before the Gemini “upgrade”.

I have a 12 year old ICE car @ 172,000 miles and it needs none of those wheel bearings, axels, suspension and HVAC fixes. I would not bundle regular car issues with EV issues since it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer (and even model & year).

The high cost of a battery replacement compared to the cost of the car after a few years is a concern which is seems very relevant though.

And how sarcastic replies with high vote ratios like telling someone to add glue to their pizza so pepperoni doesn’t slide around get through.

Or if your job wipes your browser preferences for whatever misguided security each time it closes and you end up on the default AI BS page at the start of each day.

Another example is sometimes when an artist passes away and you get to hear some unreleased songs. They are technically complete, but they didn’t quite consider them ready and finalized enough to let others hear it when they were around.

Applies to software too, although my specific example is probably closer to art. Hollow Knight silksong was released and a few items were cut to streamline the “completeness” at release, but there is a planned DLC that will bring in some of that content back in a more cohesive and complete package. To most people it is complete, but some fans might think it is not yet complete because they know about the cut content and subsequent planned release.

It is a very subjective opinion.

Agree, but I would rather that money be used in the communities that have them than being hoarded on some Scrooge McDuck offshore account.

I want my power bills to not be $0.46 per watt hour vs the $0.17 paid down the street where the power company is not subsidized by regular citizens for AI data centers.

Why I’m I already paying close to 3x the price for something that if real would mean layoffs and financial struggle for the average person and if not it is just a big scam that will leave the average person planning for retirement holding the bag?

Its literally illegal to build anything but single family homes that bankrupt the city’s finances with basic infrastructure upkeep and no public transport options to keep a basic job in most of north america.

Those landed people that are costing the city millions somehow are given a greater voice because they own land on the constituency of some asshole getting bribes. Of course government comes into the picture because they have not done anything about it for decades.

Most of the time we do not get to dictate the hardware, software and protocols of what’s used at work.

During the entire time I followed the hardware, Nintendo refused to acknowledge the issue and even only replaced them on countries that brought meaningful legal action to them. When you say newer ones do you mean Nintendo or other manufacturers? I still seem to only find hall effect ones from third parties on our poor excuse of a search engine (google).

For those of us that didn’t follow VR, which controllers are drift prone.

From a non-VR perspective, the switch controller I own suck and drift. Is it that bad as well on that front?

A lot of us are tired of high end BS no one can afford and highly proprietary stuff. Hollow Knight is the best game I’ve played in a long, long time and it could have been played with my 10+ year old midrange computer vs the updated one which was quieter for sure but didn’t feel like much of an upgrade given how unoptimized AAA games are now.

Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise and we might see some actual game engine optimizations that don’t expect hardware to keep getting better to perform. Plenty of games that were previously seen as a no go are now targeting the steam deck, which makes them more playable overall in every system.

Edit: my point: more sales = more interest = better optimization = better graphics at a lower entry point.

IDK if accountable is the right word. More like made an example of.

I know in California its common to:

• Revert your car to stock emission standards during the biyearly smog inspection to avoid detection for people dedicated enough
• Pay someone to pass the test without testing the car (not sure if possible on new cars with electronic serial number stuff?)
• Register out of state
• Etc.

You only have to barely look at some of the modifications done in California based YouTube channels to see the cars meet one of the above criteria.

This seems silly in terms of value unless it is bringing in some larger investigation home for large offenders that were already targeted by some other investigation and are being cross referenced.

Edit: for the record, I think this is a waste of money and resources as others have said. Plenty of more meaningful things to do if you actually give a shit about the environment or road laws.

Can’t wait to continue not using them since they suck as a search engine now. At work I go straight to the vendors’ docs and stack overflow since Google offers only regurgitated (mostly outdated) slop nowadays. This is for Java development.

The only product of theirs that still seems functional is maps for now.

Even gmail started half assing search results which only include the past few weeks when you type into the search bar until you physically click the search button. Not sure what idiot thought that was a good idea since it misleads you to think it already did the search when it lists partial results.

At least in today’s internet era you can check out the gameplay and see of it’s something you’d enjoy.

Hello who this? “OMG STEEM SALE BETTER BUY GAMES ILL NEVER PLEY”

I tried to use it about 3 years ago on an apple tv. It tried finding the server on my LAN and never could do it reliably, so I found it more annoying.

With Jellyfin/Swiftfin I do have to punch in the hostname or IP, but it works fine for me and the people in the house. The only annoyance is getting signed out every few months, but I’m not sure of that’s a server or client issue on Apple TV and happens infrequently enough that I have not bothered to look up the reason.

Edit: should have said that I used to use Plex before ~2012-2018, and with more ease that after the updates that dumbed down the interface. Maybe its changed and better now, but no reason for me to care.

Why would they do that when they can make an extra $0.03 this quarter? </s>
