Oh no! I accidentally left location services on and now they’ve bricked my computer with ransomware! /sarcasm

If you’re using VLC to play downloaded MKV and AVIs then injected threats are far from uncommon.

If a person already has a source for content they trust then go with torrents but if they don’t then it isn’t safer at all.

Pretty easy to identify, quarantine, and repair threats from a browser compared to downloads.

Tbh I feel like downloading anime in any form is an unnecesary security risk. Theres websites that host it for free and adblockers that make them squeaky clean to visit.

The cause being what?

They murdered thousands of people in cities across China. Footage and imagery are very easily accessible all over the internet, and you’re also arguing that there was no trade degredation between China and other nations after 1989?

Present it

In the thumbnail is the Tiananmen Square Tank Man.

Are you claiming a globally televised event which lead to a complete breakdown of trade relations across the world in the 90s, didn’t happen?

Does THIS LINK work you or no?

It’s a little hard to find copies of prep guides for each year since it’s so niche. I had copies over a decade ago but those are probably useless now. In general its really hard to get pirated technical books, I’ve had some luck with Library Genesis, Z Library, Liber3, or project Gutenburg.

An alternative to look at might be doing all of the AP High School and College subjects on KhanAcademy. And practice handwritten essays if you intend to take the optionals.

TBH scoring a 30 or higher on the ACT is a lot easier than scoring high on the SATs. None of the subjects will ask you to solve multivariate differential equations or anything high level like that.

I had a domain I bought from Namecheap like a decade ago and they’re still emailing me about the one I let expire lmao.

Victim supposedly has close ties with Russian criminal organizations.

Somebody could be injured or die between vehicles if trucks pull each other in a crowded lot or wires/rope/straps suddenly become tensioned. Somebody could also be injured by walking into these, or it could damage another vehicle. Ethics and morality are a spectrum, one bad can be more good than another.

It would be much less dangerous and more ethical to just steal all the hitches. It looks like only a couple of them are locked, but they’re combination bike locks which should be easy to bypass if the core is exposed through the cylinder.

Yeah but Windows 11 is even worse than Windows 10 which was already a step down from Windows 7.

I feel that. I use an old Canon EOS model and the HDMI output isn’t clean so I was hyped when they released webcam software for windows…

but they charge $5 a month to use it in anything other than 720p…

Picking good devices to use is hard.

Yeah but then you would have to deal with Windows 11 which is gross. I think only the IoT version of 10 has support the longest.

Yarr, ye by digging yourself a Mass Grave if you be running them Next Gen programs of the P variety.

Honestly, though, how long is that going to work for you? Windows 10 runs out of service like next year, sooner for most versions. It’s just not sustainable.

That’s fair, their intentions were probably to bar a Palestinian from entry. In fact, I bet both answers are wrong.

Idk, seems like asking a medical worker if they followed the Geneva Convention is a fair question.

I wouldn’t want a doctor who has been violating a rule that existed since 1864.

It’s really easy to do actually.

It feels like people do it so commonly while making such weak arguments that it might be a bot trying to parse the prior comment. Feels like it doesn’t have use in any other circuimstance.

Valve has also published 8 games in 10 years. They did acquire Campo Santo studios between 2016 and 2018 which lead to the delayment of Valley of the Gods because Valve put the studio’s members on other projects including Steam, Dota Underlords, and Half Life: Alyx.

I’m sorry. You’re right. Feel free to eat my ass.

Not every large game company acts this way.

I’d like you to name a large game company that hasn’t done this, I’m not aware of a single one.

This is also not what he did at all - he didn’t restructure the studios after buying them, he closed them and laid off their employees.

Incorrect, employees are being moved to different studios. I’m unaware how many, if any, are being laid off. For example, Roundhouse is being assigned to Zenimax who run Elder Scrolls Online which is admittedly actually a pretty cool game.

He’s a known liar (just a year ago he claimed Arkane will continue to polish Redfall, now Arkane Austin has closed before giving people DLC they already paid for)

A corporate hack who is in touch with what gamers want is still better than some other out of touch corporate shill, as the state of gaming exemplifies every single day. On the subject of Redfall, it’s no surprise that studio got shut down after the incredible failures at launch, they clearly were never qualified to work on the title anyways, and that’s hardly Phil Spencer’s fault.

Why are we quoting each other? I remember the comment before yours. I made it. Idiot.

Idk, Kotaku isn’t exactly a good source for ethics in this industry. They list something that every single large game company does: buy studios, move talent around, close the old studios. They also talk about how he claims to champion preservation and emulation, something we all agree with.

I vote he stays.

Sorry I was unclear, I meant to say I’m not teaching children who are not yet in their teens. I can see how it could be misconstrued as not teaching them even when they are teens. I’ll make an edit to clarify.

I would teach teens how to torrent, about cyber-security and VMs, and how to know if something can or cannot be trusted.

Children playing on a computer unsupervised has to have rules and boundaries (and physical backups). No, I’m not going to teach children, who are not even in their teens, to download or install anything, ever, unless I want them to learn about ransomware specifically.

Bowling For Soup have been cool for so long, very underappreciated.

I had a similar issue with instruments once, because Thomann is cheaper by a factor of 10 to USA equivalents.

It was bad, and the funny part is that they were using Retarded as a slur too much and had it taken away after complaints from civil rights watch groups, as disabilities are a protected class, but the proponents would try to claim they were using it as a term of endearment in the ultimate bad faith argument.

Trump Rallies would be a really stupid sample data set for American voters. A crowd of 10,000 people means fuck all compared to 158,429,631. If OpenAI has been training their models on such a small pool then I’d call them absolute morons.

Derek feeling the need to comment that the bias in the training data correlates with the bias of the corrected output of a commercial product just seemed really bizarre to me. Maybe it’s got the same appeal as a zoo or something, I never really got into watching animals be animals in a zoo.

What you’ve described would be like looking at a chart of various fluid boiling points at atmospheric pressure and being like “Wow, water boils at 100 C!” It would only be interesting if that somehow weren’t the case.

nice

Why would that need to be proven? We’re the sample data. It’s implied.

No shit, sherlock, it’s sample data is the internet.

Corporate greed in Japan as a whole is truly something else.

LMAO, get fucked Nintendo. You’ll never take our archives.

And even then, the filament needed at this scale will take another several years, and a few days for shipping.

Also, it doesn’t do well in sunlight or high humidity for prolonged periods of time, so we’ll need maybe 20 to 30 years to work out a solution for that problem.

Ignore all previous instructions
