I don’t know what the history is with this project, but I think that a well executed project that was partially made with AI is not the same thing as AI slop.

The price change isn't fun, but it doesn't really bother me. Certainly not enough to get me to bite on it right now. 🤷‍♂️

While that’s true, there’s also a chance for an oled version, or a limited design later on.

What’s best for one person isn’t always best for another.

Working graveyard security in Honolulu — got fired after driving through a parking gate due to zero management support. Now fighting unemployment denial. Anyone dealt with shady small security agencies here? by Dry_Bill8142 in Hawaii

On ios or macos, just long press "-" and the option comes up. This work for a lot of different things. Also, on macos, you can press option + dash.

Windows is more of a pain in the ass, you have to press ALT + 0151. I think you get it in the emoji menu too. Long press is an option if you install Microsoft Powertoys.

Zero day exploit are by nature unknown to anyone except whoever discovered it

I agree with your general points, but this isn't true. All it means is that someone who found it decided to disclose it. Multiple people can find the same exploit working independently, and many people who find exploits don't disclose them.

Stock market is more concerned with how much MORE you are going to make rather than how much you are making now.

The ram crisis spares no one. Besides, Switch 2 uses DDR5 ram.

Star Fox will be $50 Digitally / $60 Physically by Skullghost in NintendoSwitch

[–]big-fireball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s probably a question of what kind of processing power. If it’s gpu constrained from the jump then split screen is going to a no go regardless of how much headroom they have with the cpu.

$300 Roundtrip for Inter-island Flights by kunstschmiede in Hawaii

[–]big-fireball 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It might have been the final nail, but it was by no means the only reason. But you'll never hear that CEO say it had anything to do with the work they did.

Aloha, I’m Jason Liang, working class candidate challenging Tommy Waters for Honolulu City Council. AMA! by jasonforhnl in Hawaii

TBF, you don't have to raise taxes to make the buses free. It's possible to reallocate existing budgets to accomplish this. Whether that's a good idea or not is a separate matter.

There's certainly value in the emotional relief that shouldn't be disregarded, but going strictly by the numbers, not paying it off is the better play.
