They're working their way towards being as bad as we are! and they aren't as good at marketing to try to convince people it's to find lost dogs.

So... let me get this straight.

The US bombed Iran, to stop Isreal from bombing iran first? Knowing we'd be retaliated against regardless of who attacks.

I'm assuming just they don't have access or want to take a side, or reliability for it. IE the groups making the cracks don't want the added legal risks of providing the actual game files themselves. So if joe makes the crack but doesn't want to risk sending the software, then that means it's up to someone else to provide the software without the crack.

My thoughts exactly... the country that we are actively brainwashing and saying is evil doesn't have weight. On the other hand, if the whole tournament was say, The US, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, everyone else boycots it... that's the kind of middle finger the US needs to realize just how badly we've pissed off the world.

That being said, how hard would it be for a nation to sort of... host a non-fifa world cup. IE I'd hate to see the players and teams work go to waste, and honestly it being done this year on the personal level everyone could see it as the real one.

Obviously you didn't take the fast track program.

I mean the obvious thing is, we haven't come close to finding a loophole to the speed of light speed limit. in the massively tiny portion of the universe we can see, there's lots of "seems to have water, could possibly support life" planets, but well over 80 light years away (and those are the "close" ones).

Then if we do assume some life forms were to have faster than light travel, we are probably not a "no contact", but rather "low priority". To a species that far ahead of us technologically. They'd have access to billions of planets, at which point if life is relatively common, we'd be very un-special.

Too inaccurate, Toddler throws a tantrum because someone wouldn't give him a toy. Anthropic started the contract with the rules in place to begin with.

No not really, they are cutting the lesser evil so they can go with the greater evil. In short, Claude won't fire their weapons for them, so mechahitler gets the trigger.

True... humans wear adorable hats all the time, yet I've never seen a report of a fossilized human found wearing an adorable hat.

I fricking hate that that's the sounds of things though... the mainstream hardware becomes just enough to run remote desktop consumer hardware will no longer be produced at scale... meaning not only won't we be able to upgrade or get new hardware... but the old hardware will constantly go up in price as it becomes more scarce harder to find. We'll own nothing and pay through the nose to continue to access everything.

More accurately they didn't all, ALWAYS wear adorable hats. It very well could be the norm, just not when treking through the tar pits... or just coincidentally the .00001% that actually fosilized in ways to give analysis of soft materials happened to have left their hats at home.

Well yeah but no shortage of games have to be changed in order to cross country lines. Sometimes in small ways sometimes in huge ways. Off the top of my head the pokemon Jynx/Rugela for instance used to look very much like blackface. They had to change it's color from black to purple to make it acceptable in the US. Or say Vivian in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year door, Vivian was a trans woman, but they modified it in the original english version. (though it was later added back in the remake)

Hell wolfenstein managed to sell in germany with a "remove all references to nazi's" requirement.

Point being, video games are no strangers to removing things they too controversial in a place they ship to.

 

Hey everyone.

I have my homeassistant setup. Something I'm looking to do is a simple alarm clock, slowly turning up my LED strip, and gradually say turning on music in 1% increments. But I really haven't had much luck coming up with a not silly $100 + system to, just have a music player that hass can control. I have a basic bottom line tablet in our bedroom set up as a home assistant dashboard. we have a paid spotify account.

But I'm kind of losing my head trying to wrap around exactly what or how to actually get a controllable system. that can be set up in my bedroom without any costly additions to my bedroom. We have plenty of bluetooth speakers, but to my knowledge all of them require actually turning them on manually if they weren't playing music before. Which kind of negates their value for an alarm clock.
