Might pay to read up on the luddites.

They protested against manufacturers who used machines in “a fraudulent and deceitful manner” to replace the skilled labour of workers and drive down wages by producing inferior goods.

The game is rigged

Story mode / Infinite lives / invincibility modes.

Difficulty should not be a barrier for entry. I like how Insomniac games like Ratchet and Clank, and to a lesser extent Spiderman, offer a really easy mode for those who just want to blast away or swing around New York.

“in the cloud”

Well, the firm I work for won’t ever implement it then. Back to pandas, nothing to see here.

Is that why we are being told to “fear” AI? Because it can’t be easily monitised by those who worry about such things.

Is this the quarterly reminder this game is being developed?

How would the world feel about a ridge Racer, RR revolution, rage racer and RR type 4 remaster/reboot? The same game mechanics, menus, modes etc, just with a modern gaming engine and graphics.

As Linus said, think of it like watching a Top Gear/VIN Wiki video about a super car. I just want to see it at its best, and going fast.

Yeah, talk about some downsides but recognise this isn’t a product for everyone. His attitude of “don’t buy it at all” was really bad faith.

The communication re: the auction of the billet product appears to be a genuine fuck up, and LMG needs to do as much as it can to own that.

The review, and subsequent doubling down on WAN of [sic] “do not buy this product” , however, is down right negligent. Billet are a start up and every review or demo of their product is absolutely critical to their success. To say “we want you to eat” is borderline offensive. LMG must recognise the majority who watch LTT are often casual and will forever just remember “Linus said no” and not question it further.

While I commend the attitude of not being drawn into an online pissing contest with GN, I think the least they could do is remove the video, retest and evaluate, and offer a sincere apology for the previous efforts.

Everything else is a QC issue. Do less with more, and you won’t have to spend so much time putting out very public fires such as this.

Any prebuilt computer released in the last two years has secureboot and automatic bitlocker encryption with keys in the Microsoft account, meaning that this antivirus removal USB drive wouldn’t even boot, and if it could, it couldn’t access any file on the computer

I was disappointed this issue was not addressed at all during its review. The type of person this product is aimed at wouldn’t have a clue this was potentially the case.

Sony, Asus, Nothing, Pixel…

I’m not doubting the hardware, but software is a real issue. Carriers are now pushing 36 month plans… what good is that if your device is basically out of date after 18 months.

Reads headline: “oooo interesting”

It’s a Motorola: “ah, shit”

It’s possible that this story didn’t happen. Some points raised here highlight some areas we should remain skeptical.

The banks have heavily invested in a cross platform chat app that’s (in its own words) bridging the gap.

Just wait for the consumer version ready to be pushed by governments.

But… How? I can’t think of a moment in the movie there is any “homosexuality”.

Maybe the “I’ll beach you off” bit, but that’s more of a play on words and the characters most definitely don’t understand what they are saying.

Feel you with Attack on Titan - goes into some weird places and I lost interest.

Have you tried Initial D? Old school 90’s early 2000’s teen comedy drama about street racing. It’s really funny and touching at the right moments.

The hill I’m prepared to die on on is that I think an elephant is the only mammal that could pull off wearing two pairs of cargo shorts at once.

An elephant is the only mammal with 4 forward facing knees.

Worked in bars as a supervisor for 3 years, almost everytime I decided to cut a patron off (usually for being too drunk, or for being an arsehole) I would be met with “you can’t do that, it’s illegal, you HAVE to serve me”

No, I don’t. Service is at my discretion, and it wouldn often be unethical for me to continue to provide you with more alcohol, endangering yours and others around you further.
