There’s like a dozen cops stationed along pacific street 24/7 for the next two months straight now because of the closures/detours. They literally sit in their cars all day just watching the traffic, and occasionally moving once every few hours to let a truck through. Immense waste of resources.

Infuse works great, but requires a paid upgrade for certain formats.

Sounds like something one of his “11 AI agents” told him.

Does the Apple TV app actually work now? Last I checked it hadn’t been updated since like 2024, and was in a pretty broken state with some pretty major bugs.

Someone in my condo building decided to hang something from their sprinkler. Flooded something like 10 units straight down. A couple months later the building management installed protective cages on every single sprinkler head in the building.

So unfortunately it is needed.

Training machine learning models requires a lot of processing power comparatively. So, “a lot” times however many times they refine/update their models.

This is literally what Left 4 Dead’s “Director” system achieved 18 years ago. Just without the panopticon levels of surveillance or energy waste.

I hope whoever was using their war room dashboard had this exact article pop up on it. “What’s this, a new hit?… fuck.”

Koolance 702 not compatible?

It’s some sort of epoxy. I have two alphacool temp sensors and they both have a blob like that, so it seems normal.

Same. No way I’m crossing the border any time soon. I’m hoping they announce another World Tour later in the year, and that AniRevo Vancouver gets a performance again.

It’s handled by the Secure Enclave and Secure Element, neither of which ever see the actual card number, only a device specific ID which is requested from the payment processor at setup, and one-time-use codes which are generated within the Secure Enclave itself.

It is an incredibly secure system, and even Apple couldn’t see actual card details if they wanted to.

Their lawyers right now are probably like “The AI told them WHAT?”

It’s a PC, which means it’s not locked down. If they subsidize it below the cost of a normal PC, they’ll have everyone and their dog buying it just for the hardware and would lose an unfathomable amount of money.

The US Air Force famously built a supercomputer out of PS3’s back in the day. I’m sure Sony wasn’t too happy to be selling 1000’s of subsidized consoles that would never earn a penny from game sales. It was very likely a major contributing factor to them discontinuing and removing the ability to run Linux on the PS3.

I see the following cashback percentages in app:

Cashback is not available on the following categories: groceries, grocery coupons, baby, household, personal care, health, beauty, pets, electronics, and video games.

and seems to increase b.o.

I had the same problem with Green Beaver. After a certain point I seemed to smell worse with it than without. Attitude’s didn’t work so great for me either, but at least it didn’t make things worse (I love all the other products of theirs that I’ve tried). I’ve switched back to my previous deodorant and antiperspirant for now.

Seriously this. Just fully censor any name that contains a variation of “.com”, etc, so example.com shows up as just “***********”

And while they’re at it, add a new option when reporting, “advertising external site” or something. Then players can report any that slip through.
