Oh. The campus I teach uses juice box. I wonder what’ll happen to them.

I had to update my LG recently and it had to get approval for all sorts of weird shit. Oddly enough, it let me continue using just about everything even after I denied all the very invasive checkboxes. I guess even they can’t deny use of your own tv if you reject the agreement lol

Iirc, the leak was from steam achievements being posted to another game and that sort of tipped people off. Seems like a pretty dumb mistake, if it really is a mistake anyway.

I wish more people knew what Run… did, but the Ctrl + v should be a little more obvious. We need to teach more computer literacy if you don’t immediately know that means you’re copying text to something.

Especially on a shady site, mind you. But then again, this could be on a phishing email, so that’s not always the case I guess. (I got one from “STARBUCKS” that Gmail didn’t catch, their spam filter has been shit lately, blocking my work emails but letting through a lot of sus stuff).

Brah, if you try and root many phones, shit like Knox fucking bricks your phone out of spite. They’ve been putting anti-consummer shit into devices for decades now, let’s not pretend that puts everyone in the same 99.9%.

I’ve heard that criticism. The upside was they right have a damage report after every freaking attack, and the speed was a lot faster paced. Granted I like a simpler system since you can still optimize it (but good luck remembering ex combos lol).

Plus in the first one you can throw rotten bananas at people. Some of the cards were a little out there.

I just finished and mastered the second Baten Kaitos game on GC. Every single Magnus, every side quest, every mix, etc., for retroachevements. It was brutal.

I did both games this past month and man to I want to talk about some of the twists but nobody knows what the fuck I’m talking about, haha.

My thought… When GPT was new, I was quite invested and it worked pretty well. That was what, almost two years ago? I’ve found it just being easier and more reliable learning stuff myself and writing my own paragraphs. I wonder if normies are still in that honeymoon phase.

At some point, the false answers and predictable, soulless responses catch up to you. In a world that’s over reliant on boilerplate AI text, a personalized email with as little sass goes a long way.

Can confirm. Wife got a fancy AI tool from corporate and it’s only delayed her work (which is mostly in excel). Lots of false equations and bad advice. So she comes to me and I give her a simple, no frills formula and solve the problem in 5 to 15 minutes.

Oh and of course they’re removing their RTO initiatives soon and adding another day of mandatory in office. Mind you, free lunch isn’t the pull they think it is for my wife, although if I’m being honest, if it’s me … Well, I do have a thing for free catering. Not 1 hr+ commute, but I’ll bike for an hour for free food (and coffee).

This means my car will be cheaper, right?

…right?

A good AI summary would tell you the benchmark scores and general pricing, but yes, it’s better to go to UserBenchmark anyway— especially since the whole ploy from search is to keep you from going there, robbing the original source of it’s ad revenue.

No no, that has considerably less offensive content.

Sure, once I decide on a more permanent distro. Manjaro was ok but I keep hearing bad things and it was a gaming partition, not an all purpose partition. I’m sure lurking in Linux communities will give me some ideas, though.

The setup, mostly. I know I can VM my mandatory work programs, at least. Dual boot has been too frustrating since Windows won’t play ball.

Oh no. They really want me swapping to Linux full time with this shit, ugh.

That 3DO blip on the right makes me sad, it was arguably a better system than the PlayStation but it just couldn’t make it. (I imagine there are reasons, but I still enjoyed playing things like D on it).

I’m currently playing through WW and thought the same thing. I’m doing it emulated, though, which is neat cause I can do the weird GBA feature without wasting batteries. Why not have Tingle whereever you go?

This year? I’ve lost, best I’ve got was a very brief demo of my setup with an Apple II game (and I already forgot what it was, I was just showing of that I had every game from an Exodus set since they added Apple II). But I’m not gonna count it.

Actual play? I’m on a GameCube fix right now cause of achievements. Y’all are the real mvps in 2024.

Although it’s generally used for roms and such, I include my hard copy games in my Lunchbox database. You can manually enter in things and pull meta data that way, which I prefer since I keep a lot of manuals, boxes and stuff in cold storage and aren’t about to pull it out.

Plus at the end it the day, they’re just xml files.

Yes, but when you’re done with the trilogy we need to get you an & Knuckles cartridge to throw on there.
