Every time I hear his name I can't help but think of a cow, but this guy is full of more bullshit than any 4-legged bovine

The symbolism in the movie is apparently in contrast to the book, which glorified war and the human side. The director decided to take it another direction and it was a fucking great decision

"whom I speak for"

Pretty fast to grab the reins on that one, hmmm

No shit. Like right now the fuckers aren't even keeping proper plates on their vehicles and are still running around masked like gangsters.

Even if they did have a QR code, what's it going to do give them a link to a hotline?

"Hello, this is the ICE complaints line, please leave your name, number, and residential address and we'll dispatch an armed goon squad to deal with your 'complaint' "

Oh, probably the ones that managed to avoid it because they are cops, were cops, are friends of cops, etc

I was wondering the same, but this does make sense.

At the same time, it might also make sense to build on top of existing FOSS tooling rather than building new, but I suppose that depends on where the bottlenecks are and if stuff like proprietary codecs might be involved

I've seen some people get around the button limit by using multiple USB controllers ( one per each player ), but hacking out a PS/2 controller instead is pretty awesome. I'm not sure if it's still the case, but I recall that some people preferred PS/2 controllers for fighting games etc because they had less input lag for multi-button input as well (this was some time ago so might not apply to modern USB controllers).

I haven't yet seen where use of AI hasn't made things worse.

• Agents: Every instance of AI for "customer service" I've run into basically just closed cases for invalid reasons, spouted bullshit, and was used to block interacting with a real human, trapping users in infinite loops (thanks eBay) or disconnecting on them (thanks PayPal)

• Security: M365 seems to be relying heavily on this now, which means that the same phishing email which was successfully blocked last week will randomly get through a few times this week for no apparent reason

*Coding: sometimes useful, but also points to do stuff like reference functions that don't actually exist in the API/language being used

Not even the continent. The language they've begun using is "hemisphere"

I mean, I do get it. Some people take on debt as a way to live beyond their means when they could still live a "comfortable" life without the glamour or "keeping up with the Jones". The $80k+ gas guzzling truck bought on credit - that's only used for driving to work and grocery trips - is a good example of this.

But a better way of saying this is "live within your means", but it's becoming increasingly impossible to do this and have a standard of living that's just "decent shelter and healthy food" (or even, "enough food") which should be a bare minimum

And some assholes remembered it and are trying to one-up last time

At the same time I'm seeing a bunch of ads for "hardware is getting too expensive, use Akamai cloud for your gaming etc instead, now with AI blah blah!"

Bitch, you're the reason hardware is so expensive!
