3·3 days agoTrue Fantasy Live Online looked like it would have been amazing.
And still have data caps…
Or how the “Chat Button” is pay gated after the first year…

If Back to the Future came out today, they would be going back to 1995.
As much as I hate to admit it, yes. That’s 30 years ago now.
Think of it like this… If Back to the Future came out today, they would be going back to 1995.
🤯
Movies from 1955 were old in 1985, so movies from 1995 are old now.
3·25 days agoOne of my favorite bits teaching Hex Ed was writing it on the board and saying it out loud:
0 - Zero
1 - One
2 - Two
3 - Three
4 - Four
5 - Five
6 - Six
7 - Seven
8 - Eight
9 - Nine
A - Ten
B - Eleven
C - Twelve
D - Thirteen
E - Fourteen
F - FifteenIt is so hard writing the letter and saying the number.
Of note:
"One of the notable issues is that this process also won’t delete all of your data — according to 23andMe’s privacy disclosure, your genetic information, date of birth, and sex will be retained for an undisclosed amount of time to comply with the company’s legal obligations, alongside “limited information related to your account,” such as your email address and communications around your data deletion request.
23andMe did not answer our questions regarding what specific data actually is retained or deleted when a user removes their account. Some posts have appeared online that encourage 23andMe users to scramble their data before deletion by replacing things like name, date of birth, ethnicity, sex marker, and height with false equivalents. This will supposedly render any information that is retained useless, but will likely be ineffective if 23andMe only stores the data that was used to create your account — something that the company also did not clarify to The Verge."
It also has no impact on research studies you’re already part of, all it does is prevent your DNA from being added to new studies.
I ran into this with my 2013 Kia Sorento ICE (which was subsequently totalled. :( )
When you replace the on-board infotainment system, there’s an interoperability package that has to be installed to make sure the existing functions of the vehicle continue to work.
Think of it like a translation layer, everything on the dashboard that went through the old system, has to be hooked up to the new system. Also complicated by steering wheel controls.
When it was all said and done, I had the full array of cameras that I wanted (turn signal cameras are amazing!) and everything worked…
Except the one little button that changed the interior lighting. It was forever stuck on red.
Now, for an EV, it’s essential everything work properly. I can totally see GM shutting that down.
This is kind of like the complaint about EVs not having AM radios… yeah, there’s a reason for that!

The hand in front of face thing is interesting, and in the video you can see clear distortion around the headphones which could have been a result of a replacement background.
I’d have requested they turn off all filters and see how they react to that. “Oh, I’m not running any filters.” would be a clear lie and a reason to end the interview.
The ones that were SURPRISINGLY good were the Gex games. Looks like they’re getting a remaster too.
I can’t tell you how nice it is to see this variation on the story instead of “studio behind hit new game shuts down.”
Follow me on this… If you don’t spend 4x more than you need to on an iPhone… you don’t have to sell your phone to buy dinner.
It does raise a good question though, I haven’t owned an Apple product since the OG iPad… what does an iPhone cost these days?
EDIT
From Apple.com
16 Pro - $1,000
16 - $800
15 - $700
16e - $600OK, so 4x is maybe a bit off. At least 2x though. I definitely won’t drop more than $300 on a phone.
Pretty soon, we won’t even have to play a game, it will just be an AI scripted narrative with characters and settings that we sit down, watch, and if we’re super lucky, interact with through scripted prompts.

Again, you broke rule 5, deal with it and move on. Your other posts whining about this are already earning you removals and bans.
Rule 5: “bait users into ideological wars”.
You directly broke rule five, and because your question was disingenous, that broke rule 1.
Sorry you’re butthurt over it. Get over it and move on.
You broke community rule 5:
And in the process broke rule 1:
Resulting in expected behavior:
Great, a device style I hate with a screen style I hate. I look forward to never owning one.
