Jokes on them, ublock origin still works just fine for me.

If it takes over the video it would be. I pause YT videos all the time to read something that didn’t stay on screen long enough.

Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back. This cat is living the good life.

When has banning porn ever been profitable? Look at tumblr.

I’m not surprised it happened, but a little surprised how quickly it happened. Most insurance companies still offer a plan where you voluntarily plug in a tracker to monitor your driving in exchange for lower rates if you’re a good driver, so it’s extra fucked that they’re doing the same thing to presumably everyone with an internet connected car without even telling them upfront, let alone getting consent.

It’s filler. They can’t taste it, and it’s nutritionally void for them, but it’s still calories, and sugar is cheap.

Edit:spelling

My guy, Windows itself has a fuck load of telemetry. They don’t need to include this in Defender.

Hasbro selling it is in theory not a bad thing. Them selling it to Tencent is an awful idea.

Does D&D make them a lot of money, though? I know the movie did well and licensing fees gained from BG3 must be pretty good, but those aren’t really the norm exactly. WoTC makes good money as a whole but I honestly figured that was mostly MTG, cardboard and ink is dirt cheap compared to how much a booster pack costs lmao

Can’t help you with any of the other stuff, but to answer your 4k question: No, you still need your 4k collection for best quality. Upscaled 1080p is still 1080p, it just makes it not look wonky on a 4k display. Any details lost due to the source resolution will still be lost, you can’t create extra detail out of thin air.

I mean, a bog standard rejection email at least would be nice. Being entirely ghosted sucks, at least with a rejection I know not to keep thinking about that job.

A 9th level casting of the spell could create up to about 112.5gp if we go with the 3.5e economy(which doesn’t have this spell, anyways), or only just over 1gp going off the 5e economy(it takes about 4 gallons of seawater per lb of salt, and you can purify 90 gallons casting at 9th level).

It’s really not that good. Sure if you’re level 20 and use all of your spell slots on it it’s a decent sum of gold… but you’re also level 20. Go rob a bank or something.

I mean, let’s not pretend that Steams greenlight program was even remotely good. It was bloody awful, Valve just decided to nix it altogether rather than fix it.

A lot people like playing on genuine hardware, and this enables skipping a ton of steps to making that possible. For those select people this really is a massive convenience if maybe not a godsend.

In the case of business’s, liability reasons, real and imagined, mostly prevent just “switching” OS’s freely.

In the case of home users, think of how many people you know that have a windows computer. Now how many of those people can you confidently say could install ANY OS, let alone handle setting up Linux or bypassing TPM requirements for W11?

Personally, out of the hundreds of people I know with a windows computer, I can count on my fingers how many I’m confident in being able to install an OS. Most people are really not tech savvy. They will just ride it out with no security patches until it becomes Jenn’s laptop from the IT Crowd, and then they’ll chuck it in the garbage.

use your proprietary software in the OS you are allowed to use. Not seeing the issue.

The OS they are able to use is Windows 10. They likely don’t meet the TPM requirements to update to Windows 11(as if you’d wanna use it anyways); so when W10 goes EoL, they will be SoL(shit out of luck) on getting future security patches. Which is y’know, bad, especially on the machine you do actual work on.

You’re completely missing the point. Yeah, this stuff takes time, and it will continue to take time. The point is, this article saying we’re “closing in on it” is clickbait garbage that’s just as useful as the one a decade ago saying we are “closing in on it”, and a decade before that.

Say that after giving a cat a bath and trying to dry them off.

Creation is built on code over 20 years old at this point, and it shows

You can just as easily say the same thing about Unreal Engine, Frostbite, CryEngine, etc… all of these engines are built on decade(s) old code to some degree. The problem isn’t Creation Engine, it’s Bethesda. Unreal isn’t a magic bullet. The results if they used Unreal at this point would likely be worse, not better.

You deserve it for having the tree up a whole month early.
