SuperDuper

Zero creativity, zero innovation, zero passion. Too many AAA games feel like all of the design and decision making happened in a boardroom full of executives and market researchers, then the actual designers and developers just churn out whatever the higher-ups have decided the product will be.

Yeah but gen 2 was peak Pokemon

I have a theoretical degree in physics

I think number 2 the next day would be a more harrowing experience.

Just put a “not for use in the state of California” disclaimer somewhere. Then automatically set every user’s birthday to January 1st, 1970.

It’s honestly impressive how many unattractive “features” they’re apparently packing into this.

Unfortunately, these are the only bright sides to this new OS. Microsoft’s Copilot, the AI assistant the company has been aggressively injecting across the ecosystem, will now be a core part of the next Windows iteration rather than a supplementary feature.

11 is bad enough, but it seems like 12 will be infected with copilot at every level of the OS rather than just shoehorned into every single app.

These AI features won’t come cheaply, with Windows 12 set to debut a new hardware requirement just as its predecessor did with the TPM 2.0 requirement. This time around, a dedicated NPU would be required, a specialized processor designed to handle AI tasks.

Oh, great. Yet another new hardware requirement, this time for unwanted AI, in a marketplace with runaway hardware prices caused by AI. On the plus side, this will make it easier for most people to not switch.

Some features of Windows 11 might also be locked away behind a subscription model that are expected to be “advanced AI services”, but the core OS will be a one-time purchase only.

Ok, so not only are you charging money for the OS, you’re also taking away existing features and making people pay a subscription?

The modular aspect of the OS is Microsoft’s CorePC architecture project that they’ve been working on for years. It will redefine the Windows experience by allowing the addition and removal of components. This will help customise the OS for each build, whether it’s a lighter-weight system, a gaming-prioritized build, etc.

Can we remove copilot, the subscription model, advertisements, and spyware?

Best I can do is a cult that worships and makes sacrifices to the only surviving Zoltar animatronic fortune teller after the nuclear apocalypse.

which implies they have a right to force their religion on their children.

Alito has pretty consistently implied that he believes religious freedom gives christians the right to impose their religion on others. Or that other people don’t things that christians disagree with is somehow infringing on their religious freedom.

And Thomas is just a piece of shit who has explicitly said he just wants to make liberals miserable. I don’t even think all the bribes actually influence his decisions, he would’ve been this terrible for free.

“CIS” people (whatever that means, I genuinely don’t know, I don’t keep up with ideological abbreviations)

Cis is a prefix. It is the opposite of trans. In this context it’s obviously an abbreviation for cisgender va transgender.

Cis means “this side,” trans means “the reverse side.” You see them used in chemistry, for example cis/trans-isomerism. Even Julius Caesar’s writings reference cisalpine Gaul and transalpine Gaul (the part of Gaul on this side of the Alps vs the part on the other side of the Alps)

Hope that helps you “keep up” with the English language.

Genuinely astonished at how dogshit the Democratic party is at negotiating or even just behaving like an opposition party. How do you walk away with a worse deal than the one you were offered before negotiations started?

I get so pissed off when I try to play sudoku on the bus and it forces me to watch 30 seconds of ads between each game. And then during the game I have to ignore the flashing banner ad at the bottom of the screen.
