Except that they stated multiple times, publicly, that the winners are picked randomly. So if they are not running a lottery then they have defrauded the participants.

I have my SD docked into a 4k monitor most of the time, and I can tell you with certainty that some games will struggle at 4k on the SD. You can still use the 4k monitor for them, just play at a lower resolution.

Seems like those cops went to the same school as the Uvalde piss babies.

Did you forget to include the motherboard in the estimate?

Obvious money laundering is obvious.

Off the commercial off the shelf “smart” TVs available, I started by looking at the OSes available. Choices were Roku, webOS, Tizen, and Google TV. I immediately ruled out Roku because of their recent changes to terms&conditions. webOS is pretty much limited to LG TVs, and I had bad experiences with LG warranties, so I ruled that out. Tizen (Samsung) was out for similar reasons, so that left me with Google TV. It’s… OK. Doesn’t require Internet connection to work, and doesn’t nag me about it. And it came with a hardware switch to turn off the microphone. Not sure if that’s a brand thing (Hisense) or applicable to all Google TV devices, but was reassuring.

It’s probably 4 or 8 GB actual RAM, with the rest being effectively swap.

Does registry still have that problem of making it practically impossible to do garbage collection on old images?

Unless it’s for a quest or achievement. 40 years later you log onto steam, and unlock the hidden achievement “degrade a bag full of nail clippings”

Not a stupid question at all. Here’s the Wikipedia article for it. The significant part is this:

The 5-dimensional discs [have] tiny patterns printed on 3 layers within the discs. Depending on the angle they are viewed from, these patterns can look completely different. This may sound like science fiction, but it’s basically a really fancy optical illusion. In this case, the 5 dimensions inside of the discs are the size and orientation in relation to the 3-dimensional position of the nanostructures. The concept of being 5-dimensional means that one disc has several different images depending on the angle that one views it from, and the magnification of the microscope used to view it. Basically, each disc has multiple layers of micro and macro level images.

Moore’s law is about circuit density, not about storage, so the premise is invalidated in the first place.

There is research being done into 5D storage crystals, where a disc can theoretically hold up to 360TB of data, but don’t hold your breath about them being available soon.

That’s uBlock Origin Lite, which the developer already stated is grossly inadequate for ad blocking.

That’s LLM AI, but the type I’m talking about is the machine learning kind. I can envision a system that takes e.g. a sample’s test data and provides a summary, which is not far from what doctors do anyway. If you ever get a blood test’s results explained to you it’s “this value is high, which would be concerning except that this other value is not high, so you’re probably fine regarding X. However, I notice that this other value is low, and this can be an indicator of Y. I’m going to request a follow-up test regarding that.” Yes, I would trust an AI to give me that explanation, because those are very strict parameters to work with, and the input comes from a trusted source (lab results and medical training data) and not “Bob’s shrimping and hoola hoop dancing blog”.

AI trained to do that job? Sure, yeah. LLM AI? Fuck no.

Ecco.

Never mind the number of fingers, everyone knows Trump’s hands are tiny.

Well not that shocked.

She should have Bambi Thug as a guest on her next rally.

If I had a nickel for every time in the past week I saw an article about a courier game I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t much, but it’s odd that it happened twice.

Joke’s on you, they don’t follow Jesus anyway.
