The cure we never saw cumming

Right, but storage and memory are clearly the bottlenecks on this computer and we’re pointing out how Apple is alleviating those bottlenecks

Additionally Apple has a bunch of cloud storage deals. I think most people store all of their photos and videos in iCloud which for most people is the majority of their storage space. I bet this is right in the sweet spot for usability, which doesn’t surprise me given Apple’s laptop history

Elon’s stupid ass dedication to using cameras and image processing for self driving will ultimately be what leaves Tesla in the dust. A combination of LIDAR, cameras, and other detection tools are way safer than just cameras alone. I’m not a huge Mark Rober fan but he did show that you can beat Tesla’s self driving with Looney Tunes techniques

Can you tell I like rogue-likes? I do think they work great for mobile games since you can pick them up and put them down easily

Cool, I updated my post. I remember for a long time it was only available on PC and iPad. Not on iPhone. So I just kinda assumed it wouldn’t

Balatro

Drop Duchy

Into the Breach (I think this one works on Linux)

FTL

UFO 50

Crypt of the Necrodancer/Rift of the Necrodancer

Super Motherlode (since it looks like you used to play flash games)

Dave the Diver

Vampire Survivors

Hades 1 (it’s still fun even after 2!)

One Step From Eden

👏👏

I like watching people play Super Mario World romhacks. Grand Poo World is big and the streamer who made it (barbarousking) is entertaining

A huge point of I, Robot is that there isn’t some exact instructions you can give robots that will have them always protect humanity. They have an inherent danger in their literalism

Well you see one device is made by Microsoft which has been the defacto way to watch videos for a large chunk of its lifespan and the other gave us UMDs and camcorders with cables that could only connect to Vaio laptops, which were the only devices that supported writing to mini-disc

I would not recommend PS5+Plex. I went through the whole set-up and the PS5 couldn’t encode over half my videos. When playback did work it was often choppy. I dislike that it has ads all over the place but the ONN Streaming Pro does a way better job as Plex streaming device at $45 than my PS5. Plus the controller will be much easier for simple tech users, you can rebind one of the buttons to go directly to Plex

As someone who works in tech I occasionally point out to people that if Jeff Bezos decided to go full supervillain he could hold the internet hostage. If you disabled AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud individually the cascading failures on the various systems would take weeks to fix, which we might not have with a supply chain collapse. Genuinely, I think there’s a real chance it could trigger the collapse of human civilization

I was really confused why this was news because I remembered trying mad max mode. It’s fucking batshit how aggressively it merges on that mode. I turned it off immediately. Although the speeding thing isn’t new, all the autopilot modes will let you set the speed to 15 over or more by default

If they didn’t have double standards then they wouldn’t have them at all

The MicroCrocs stay on while having sex

I remember when Hades came out and my buddy was saying it was going to be GOTY over Cyberpunk 2077 and all of us just laughed at him. I think he was on the right side of history

You’re citing examples from the 6th, 4th, and 18th centuries and arguably the last one isn’t even about intellectual property

Even ignoring the blatant “what aboutism” if your justification for why it’s ok to steal video game ideas is because some Byzantians were mean to you 1400 years ago just know that nobody is going to take you seriously

AI Data centers noticeably fuck with the grid. As a result they are facing internal and external pressure to generate more of their own power. Microsoft is opening a nuclear power plant. I would not be shocked to learn through solar, wind, and coal they provide the majority of their own power

You’re correct, I had mixed up several of them in my memory. I think 6 is what I was thinking of where you can say “fuck your civil war, I’m out”
