Agreed. The distinction is between ‘millionaires’ and ‘multi-millionaires’ imo.

They’re buying the parts directly from the manufacturers though, so cutting out the retailer middle-man could offset the R&D costs.

Millionaires don’t count as ‘rich’ any more. One million is no longer enough for stability.

I have that and an ‘OnLive founding member’ T-shirt that I wear to tech events. Especially when I suspect there’s going to be something tone-deaf getting launched.

I got both for free.

You’re thinking of SUV’s, which typically have the flat, giant grill that is hard to see over and is far more likely to kill people on impact.

Minivans typically have a short, sloped front which not only provides good visibility, but also is less dangerous to pedestrians in accidents.

It’s not just Microsoft any more though. Practically any time you have a prompt for something in software/web pages that benefits the company, the only options are ‘yes’ and ‘maybe later’. It’s become so ubiquitous that I’m genuinely surprised when a prompt like that actually has a ‘no’ option.

The implication is that they’ll have to jump ship to Linux, and thus become a member of the unixsocks community.

If the server runs a significantly cut-down rendering model, you can do things like culling player models when you can’t see them. No more wallhacks.

Symphony was incredible for the time, but its difficulty was all over the place and pretty much becomes zero in late-game. Many, many Metroidvanias by indie developers have far surpassed SotN in quality.

It’s one of my favorite games of all time, but I understand that nostalgia plays a big part in that.

You can run it streaming from a PC. The architecture of the source PC can be anything that’ll run SteamVR, assumedly.

It sounds dumb because you’re just posting LLM spam and you won’t ever actually do the thing.

Also, YAML. Yech.

It does make him an ephebophile though if he preferred them to adults.

And a rapist. Let’s not forget that.

He can only do it for federal crimes. If a state government tossed you in jail, the president can’t do jack about it.

Yeah, but the AI bros don’t want to imply that the LLMs are lying to you.

And usually with an HOA all you’re funding is people who will fine you for letting your grass grow too tall.

You’re absolutely right on all counts.

That said, my RAID setup is on a Synology, so it’s brain-dead simple and not especially prone to falling over.

That’s true until it isn’t.

Unrecoverable hard drive failures definitely occur, even early on in the life cycle of a drive. I like having a RAID-5 array … but then again, I don’t really have any other backups (which I really should fix).

What I really need is an ISP that doesn’t have a 1.2TB data cap.

It’s also going to result in the destruction of the Xbox brand though. Whatever they release, no one’s going to buy it. Anyone who’s smart already releases on multiple platforms if they release for Xbox, and this will only exacerbate the issue.

Ah, good on you! How long ago did you buy the place?

Now good luck finding a home for only $240K in an area that actually has decent-paying jobs…
