In the end, they both end up learning effectively the same lesson

I tend to think people shit on Musk more than they should, but holy shit does it bug me when a CEO talks about engineering problems with such bravado.

It doesn’t matter what browser you’re using. Everything Google was tracking here is the stuff all browsers send in incognito mode. This lawsuit was totally frivolous

I played Mass Effect as female Shepard because i heard the voice acting was better. Generally for RPGs I play as “myself” though.

Ohhh good call. I saw ads on Facebook saying it was on sale and didn’t realize it was on Epic not Steam. Yeah, screw Epic.

Should I get RoboCop: Rogue City or Star Trek: Resurgence now while they’re on sale or wait to see if they go lower?

It’ll probably be 3-6 months before I get around to playing either

I’m a lot more worried about a DC/Star Trek crossover than I was about a Marvel/Star Wars crossover. The DC people are stupid enough to try it.

Also, there were some candidates who managed to get 95% and above — but would then just be absolutely awful during the interview — we would later discover that they were paying someone to complete the technical test on their behalf.

Yeah my company shot itself in the foot by replacing technical interviews with an online test and hiring a bunch of cheaters. After a while we started doing a zoom interview where we’d go over the code they supposedly wrote and ask them to explain it to us. Even that simple step made it obvious who had or hadn’t actually written the code they were talking about. I’m pretty sure a few candidates had somebody talking in one ear and/or typing to them on a separate screen.

I’m watching on my phone, and couldn’t unmute it. I tapped the mute icon and nothing changed, so I assumed that was telling me it had no audio

That’s… why we want the labels?

Car manufacturers should get out of the dashboard design business. Just have an API standard for devices to control the car, and a USB port for users to plug in whichever device works best for them. You want a bunch of physical buttons? Cool, go down to AutoZone and buy a button panel that matches your needs. You want a big screen with carplay and a bunch of widgets? Mount your old iPad there.

The regulatory side would be the hard part. Devices would have to meet some safety standards and the car would have to refuse to drive unless an approved dashboard was connected, but it could be done.

Software receives update. INTERNET PANICS

Looks like lots of people’s year end bonuses were contingent on them releasing something related to AI by the end of the year.

I just want a game where I get to name my character after myself and the voice-acted NPCs use AI to dub my name into their lines instead of awkwardly avoiding using names.

They did this weird thing where they interspersed an episode of that with an episode of Jack of All Trades, IIRC.

Nah, the Prime Directive is all about staying out of other people’s business.

There’s no way DS9’s bathrooms are that clean.

This is the internet. Everything we dislike is the same. Landlords are cops, Nazis, Russians, Israelis, authoritarians, libertarians, racists, homophobes, and transphobes; all at the same time.

Nah, they’re going to “solve” it by paying web developers less, not paying cobol developers more

My desk has a desktop with two monitors, a laptop, an iPad, and a phone. I use each of them for different reasons throughout a day.

TBH the only reason I have so few devices laying around is because they’re expensive. If I lived in a post-scarcity society, I’d have a lot more tablets on my desk.
