Yea, I go out of my way to Microcenter, passing several Best Buys.

Oxygen Not Included.

You start with oxygen.

Kingdom Come 1 promised this as a mechanic but then didn’t implement it. There are still toilets but you can only read books on them.

Why would they question bugs?

So my overpowered PC is so I don’t lose focus due to loading times.

No? Barcodes and QR codes do not have enough information for unique identification. (Well they could but they start getting bigger and bigger)

But the real issue is needing these codes tracked and audited in a public manner. Instead of having a third party company trusted with all the cheese, you use a Blockchain with a public ledger. This doesn’t even require much processing power since there’s no incentive to mine as many blocks as possible.

I hate cryptobros but logistics is a good use for the tech. Tech is tech, not all use cases are bad.

I had a 6 month gap and I said I was taking a sabbatical (which was the truth). No one batted an eye.

No, NPR will survive. Losing the grants suck. But the vast majority of its revenue isn’t from grants.

I’ll be upping my donation.

Not only this but I pick my cat up so she can smell things she normally can’t reach. Or get to a bug on the ceiling.

Never had a call end with a chatbot/call tree solving anything. The only times I call is because I know a need a human override with something.

(I understand there’s probably a large portion of their call volume that can be solved via bots.)

Pretty sure this is false in most countries. You are required to disclose purchases and declare values, even for personal use. If they hit a certain thresholds, you’ll have to pay a tax.

Now I’m sure most people just ignore this, because practically they don’t know which items you carried with you and which you purchased. But it isn’t legal.

TIL about former presidents! Nah I just took !fuckcars@lemmy.world to heart.

This sounds like shaders used in graphics pipeline, which is something you code. So probably using a LLM.

No longer drive but yes.

The drivers around me, including those in front, might not realize it’s a turn only lane. It also shows them that I know it’s a turning lane and shows my intent.

Sure, ideally, unless they’re doing something more sophisticated. VW passed emission tests by detecting they were being tested.

Some potential easy to implement gotchas: minimum mileage, geo fencing, how much braking is used

We are viewing it as a POV of inside a meme. But from the duck’s POV they’re reading an incorrect POV meme because the “you’re” is intended for the duck, not us.

Yep, Dutch with manufacturing in Taiwan. So not super relevant to this thread.

System 76 is US based including keyboard manufacturing. They’re a small company that gives a lot back to the open source community.

You can always go for smaller/niche companies. System76 and Wooting come to mind for keyboards.

You have to do research and pay a premium. But you’re way more likely supporting a business that cares about its employees.

In general consume less. And when you do need to make bigger purchases, do your research.

Yea I’m not sure of OP’s ability and the requirements for games was vague. But IPX isn’t that big of a hurdle, DOSBox has an emulator for it: https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/connectivity

Bigger issues would be sourcing and playing some of these games on modern systems at all. And some dedicated servers can be a pain.

SOLDAT 2 was recently released. Basically just a minor face-lift.
