I appreciate the effort but my banking apps still rely on 2FA through SMS. They aren't interested in implementing a technology that is more secure or even one that is different than what they have already, especially for a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of their user base.

I had a rule where I wasnt allowed to use a gameshark until I had already beaten the story mode.

So I guess the analogy there would be learn how to do the thing the old fashioned way and then only use AI as a tool to do it better.

Its sort of related to the reason that Sharknado isnt a good movie but The Room is even though they both objectively suck.

A genuine but shitty attempt at art will always be more valuable and interesting than a soulless replication of the thing its trying to emulate.

This guy isn't kidding about the garage door springs. I had some of the old style ones in my old garage that broke and launched a piece of metal across the garage right past my head and made a giant dent in a 2x4. Those things are vicious.

I've got 110-130 dollars that says people will buy it anyway and the publisher will make a fortune.

There's a new proof of concept malware that when an AI processes it causes arbitrary code execution and spreads itself to everyone on the victims email list.

This requires no input from the user

Yes please put more of this crap into every crevice of the OS.

Another casualty of the Warner/Discovery clusterfire it seems.

Not that Rooster Teeth were bastions of well-run businesses but still. If you have a favorite Warner or Discovery movie or show better get the DVD before its too late.

Wow! Spoilers much?! I can't believe they spoiled the "Beer Ending" in the trailer...

I will say though that even though I know it will just be a text adventure, I kid of want to play it now.

All I see around is old Cisco enterprise stuff and 1000 would be a low price for that. Not to mention the potential for quite loud fan noise.

Unifi has one with 10 gig uplinks for the same price as used Cisco stuff and it has poe also. Still 1600 bucks though.

I swear to Kahless you are watching DS9 at the exact same pace as I am. Every time I see a watch an episode I see a meme from you the next day from it. It's crazy!

It's even funnier when you hear the Sisko's initial description of the defiant.

It's a warship, nothing more, nothing less.

And also

No families, no science labs, no luxuries of any kind...

Meanwhile it's almost as big as the OG Enterprise which did in fact have a regulation size bowling alley inside.

So all that space, basically just for engines and guns on the Defiant.
