“Hello, Borg collective. Tell me the best way to stop the assimilation of my planet.”

“Uhh… Rotate your shield modulation. That buys you a LOT of time!”

Great follow-up to the previous comic

Baier-Lentz said that he’s “shocked and sad” that the industry has not embraced generative AI, noting that the gaming business has previously pushed new technology forward.

Faster, cheaper, more capacity and capability. These things are pushed by the gaming industry. At first it was color monitors. Then it was gaming controllers, then sound cards, then video cards, then 3D cards, etc., etc.

Generative AI has so far just been an embarrassing show of C-levels thinking they just hired Skynet to replace their creative staff, then ending up in the news for their incompetence.

Look. “AI” rn is just auto complete. There may be an application for machines in doing some menial tasks, but most of the rest of the tasks (writing, animating, post processing, voicing) are currently done by humans, and those humans rightly oppose being replaced.

I don’t update my Keepass db often enough to need syncing. Maybe every other week or so I just pull the latest backup from my desktop from backblaze b2 to my phone, or if I change something on the phone, I send a copy to myself using signal “note to self.” Then I manually merge the databases.

Pretty low-tech.

Touche

Holy hell, man. The only missing elements were him calling women “female” and making awkward videos saying, “Don’t do ______ like this; do it like this!” before explaining how women care about the ______ being done their way so much, its the reason all his incel viewers are cherry-boys.

What a horrible human.

Though development seems to have ceased for a few years now

It sure fu#$ing is. I’ve tried multiple times to get any of my games working in Lutris, but I’m 0 for 3. It looks like ass, works like ass, and now I see it is maintained by an ass with a victim complex.

Clonezilla is great, and simplifies the use of dd

That was a fun scroll. Will be interesting to watch this play out.

So… Journalists just push stories without an editor reviewing them? I always assumed publications like Ars had someone in the Gandalf role (you shall not pass!) making sure articles were “correct” in many ways. … Guess not?

tl;dr it lists 9 things but not “how to spot them.” A better working title would be, “9 lies we’ve known about and ignored for almost fifty years.”

Make sure the twig … Uhhmm… I hope those rats are… Sighhhh. I got nothing. This timeline truly is the worst timeline. Like, my beard only grows into a goatee now.

Also this is my first post after 3 years here, so let me know if anything needs to be fixed

We need a better president and house of representatives. No wonder it’s so fucked up if you’ve been gone three years. Get on it and get this fixed ASAP, please.

Kind of funny to see, “only” used to describe 3/5 of a whole. That’s most states, though even the ones that do require it rarely use it as more than a pretense for a stop.

Lol! I’m glad you picked on that. I won’t badmouth them, but the user experience does that for them. That guy from the party must hate himself, haha

I was at a party about fifteen years ago. A guy introduced himself and we gabbed for a few minutes. Then he asked what I do for work (IT sysadmin at the time) and I told him and asked the same. He said he was in sales for a tech company. I asked which one, and he stepped close and whispered, “Oracle.” I could see he was prepared for me to bring the hate. He saved himself when he told me he was actually leaving for a gig at Dell. Later, I learned from the host that he made that part about leaving up because he felt bad. I later learned he went to work for Nutanix. Poor guy hated his own employer, and it was obvious.

Good catch. I don’t usually see SAS as /dev/sd* so I assumed. Almost the same cables, though *usually better made.

I second this. SATA cables are cheaply made and can present issues that seem to indicate drive failure.

The stars saved us time and went straight to jail for sexual assault.
