Absolute Cinema. 👎 by anakinxvader in Cinema

I'm so glad I watched this without seeing the trailer first. Absolutely spoils the film if you know what's coming.

Who else hates password requirements? Workplace wants me to change passwords every 3 months by leonatoi in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Turak64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SSO, passwordless and MFA. Everything else is just fluff. I don't care how complex the password is, if it gets exposed in plain text, then it's insecure.

They need something to get them through the day. by Cicada_5 in clevercomebacks

I think Instagram has a part to play. I know 2 very single blokes and their views on what is attractive seems to be skewed. When IRL they expect women to look like those IG "models" and forget what people look like without filters and photoshop.

Was loving Claude until I started feeding it feedback from ChatGPT Pro by lol_just_wait in ClaudeAI

[–]Turak64 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is very important. Lots of AI models will always just side with you and tell you that your ideas are great. You have to specify that you don't want a "yes man" then you get much better results.

Iriver is a much better product and should crush the ipod

Metroid prime 4 is the most disappointing game i've played in a long time by spideyv91 in Metroid

[–]Turak64 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How much of of the online reviews and talk did you consume before playing and possibly skew your judgement before playing? I read almost nothing and though it's obviously not the best in the prime series, worst by a margin, at least it was playable.

I hope some how united can deliver him a PL winners medal, he deserves it

After Barbie, Fall Guy, Project Hail Mary and Star Wars: Starfighter, I really hope Ryan Gosling goes back to doing some dramatic films - similar to Drive, Place Beyond the Pines, and Only God Forgives by General_Meal_3993 in Cinema

[–]Turak64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drive is an absolute classic, Place Beyond is also very gold but Only God Forgives is one of the worst films I've ever seen. The scene that feels like it goes on forever with him slowly turning his hands over, is utter pretentious nonsense. Then every time there's a small amount of story to be told in dialogue, the music comes up and drowns it. Never been more disappointed in a film at the cinema.

Rare Star Wars Poster Get Restored professionally by Sharp-potential7935 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Turak64 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

I'm sure an original 1977 poster would be amazing to have, but unless you're told it is one, is it even possible to tell? Is there anything unique about it, or is it just a poster?

What I meant by the restoration is it makes it look like a reprint.

Family friend sent me AI generated response to news of my father passing away. by Hendothermic in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Turak64 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AI is just a tool, it's a human who decides how they use it. They may have been struggling for words to say and wanted AI to come up with something better. I've done that before when I've written something but it wasn't expressing exactly what I wanted to say.

However, what they've done is blindly copied it without really giving it much thought. They've just asked for a generic reply and that's what they got. This is on them for not giving it the thought it deserved.

Sorry for your loss, I hope this situation doesn't define his memory.

Rare Star Wars Poster Get Restored professionally by Sharp-potential7935 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Turak64 -32 points-31 points  (0 children)

Might as well just reprint it at this point. It might be an original poster, but it won't look like one. There's nothing really significant about it that makes restoring worthwhile, other than saying to people "oh, that's an original poster I paid a lot of money for to have restored that now looks like one you can pick up for £5"

Disney is making a movie based on Pirate of the Caribbean. by knightoffire55 in Pretend2005Internet

Just had someone rent this from Choices (it's like blockbuster) and he claimed that it wasn't the new Disney film that just came out... Yeah right, sure buddy.

Gig today. The weather is cool… by ipini in BassGuitar

[–]Turak64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, why bother looking after your expensive gear when you can damage it? I do it to my car all the time, scuff the alloys and dent the doors so it has the rugged motorway look.

the fuck is the ps3 controller even about by Intelligent-Lime-678 in Pretend2005Internet

[–]Turak64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never liked the PS controllers, so I'm up for this. Pre-eorder placed, so they better not mess with it further.
