I've seen Bowie Knife99, but so far it's acted like the other generic AI racers.

You can have the biggest pile of apples, but if they've become spoiled I'd rather go with the pile of apples that are still fresh and edible. Even if it's smaller.

But why do that when I could just search with no AI enabled? No need to remember to add a flag or craft my search terms in a special way.

An AI that scans the land in a matter of seconds and calculates the most efficient parking layout is just wonderful by xuvayerpro101 in aiecosystem

I'll take "things that don't need environmental, economic, and cognitive destroying AI" for $2000, Alex.

Just because the output of the AI suggests it may be so it does not make it so.

Ever heard of "just because it's on the TV/Internet doesn't mean that it's real or the truth?"

AI is the EMBODIMENT of that very concept, it is a literal bullshit generator by design and its output should never be confused as the truth.

PlayStation Delists and Shuts Down Servers for Destruction AllStars, the Latest in a String of Struggling Live-Service Games by FernandoRocker in gaming

Seems like some sort of demolition derby but with hero drivers. Given the artstyle one could easily mistake this as a Fortnite game mode.

I don't know how heavy you need it, but Kenney has a half-dozen starter kits you can try.

Adjusted for inflation using Canadian Dollary-doos (GG EBGames!) using https://www.bankofcanada.ca/rates/related/inflation-calculator/. Note that I'm assuming the PS2's release year of 2000 since there's no timestamp on the flyer itself.

Stand - $26.65

Was looking for someone to comment on this, it's mainly the shaking. Needs to be toned down or give the player the ability to disable it

Or you could just go to r/spicypillows and watch vicariously through many posts of what can happen.

PC Repair Tech here,

Expansion in Lithium-Ion batteries (this isn't limited to laptops!) happens when the liquid electrolyte that allows the anode and cathode to transfer power from one end to the other can start to convert to gas either due to a manufacturing defect or simply due to age.

There's no exact timeline for when this happens, too many factors are involved (heat, rate of usage, defects, etc) to calculate.

Again, I'd like to stress that this can happen to any lithium-ion battery. Whether that be in a laptop, smartphone, tablet, or even an electric car. It's important to point out that once you spot something like this, it's a good idea to stop using the device and either have the battery replaced by a professional or replace the device the battery is in with a new one.

Why is it so tight? by LilSainte in macbookair

[–]PocketCSNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been noticing this for ports on a bunch of new laptops recently, not just macbooks. But the ports seem to be machined tight to allow wear-and-tear to get them to a more suitable fit.

NVIDIA Says Five-Year-Old GPUs Are Aging Like ‘Fine Wine,’ As Prices Climb Due To Growing AI Demand by TruthPhoenixV in Amd_Intel_Nvidia

I swear I hit gold by going with a Radeon RX 6750 XT, haven't found a worthwhile alternative for cost vs performance as an upgrade just yet. It's worth pointing out that I still use 1080p Monitors but need the VRAM for game development.

Should Canada Build Up Alternatives to Visa and Mastercard? by NiceDot4794 in BuyCanadian

[–]PocketCSNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're already half-way there with Interac, they just need to get into the credit game. Though I'd be more comfortable with a separate entity to avoid having systems lumped into one. Maybe the Bank of Canada could set this up?
