There’s a Hamich prequlel movie coming soon as well.

In November, it’s the reason they’re putting out this five film run.

I like Ghost Rider. I like Ryan Gosling. He certainly wouldn’t have been my pick, but let’s see how it goes.

So that’s a different problem, but yes.

This is a clear shutdown of an existing service.

That was a transfer gone wrong. It went especially wrong because the transfer doesn’t have a guarantee of data. Pokemon games have a weird obsession with data possibly being duplicate. Heaven forbid someone have duplicates of Pokemon.

Ad blocking is done client side in the browser, it’s impossible to hide.

You can obfuscate, but you can do that now.

Why would I be pissed that you don’t eat cake? That’s more cake for me.

Its not possible for them to not use Instagram for at least 1h when we meet up.

I don’t use Instagram, so what does using Instagram mean?

Do they browse Instagram, liking and commenting on things? It’s difficult to leave Instagram if the things they want to see don’t exist elsewhere.

Do they take pictures and share them with friends? Because that’s easier to move if the content moves.

Not nothing. They remade a bunch of games worse than the originals.

(Some people did enjoy Viva Pinata, but I didn’t play that.)

The “DogPack” podcast is represented by the WME talent agency, so if people are pissed at Warner, they should be pissed at them as well. Is it worse to provide the service or worse to buy it?

Anyway it looks like the words are written by humans, and then AI does the animation of dogs talking. It’s difficult to tell but I think the voices are also AI.

The podcast itself isn’t anything deep, think morning talk radio. Basically just dog puns and chatter.

Originally the podcast was used to promote the app “DogPack” which helps people find dog parks. However it grew popular on TikTok/Instagram because “dog who thinks it’s people” is a classic concept, and this one got popular.

I think WME is trying to get their 15 minutes of fame money on this one. I expect we’ll get a competing dog podcast for something like “Air Bud” and then this will oversaturate and go away.

The concept will stay but I just don’t see me ever hearing the word “DogPack” again.

When do the stock ones go bad? I’ve got 500+ hours of playtime on mine and they still feel like new.

The number of people that have it on surprises me.

I’m reminded of the 24 hour news channels who love to put ultra detailed timing. If there is a press conference at 9pm they don’t just say it’s at 9pm, at noon they’ll start a 9 hour countdown.

So if you watch the news at any point that day you’ll know it’s 8:43:22 until the press conference. It’s 6:12:43 until the press conference. It’s 5:24:46 until the press conference.

Those numbers don’t mean anything.

When I started writing this comment I had 92% battery left. Now I have 91% battery left. If I ramble for too long what if it goes to 90%? At the rate it’s dropping am I going to have less than two hours of battery life left? Where is my charger?!?!

Or, I can just look at the list mostly full icon. I’m good.

So you’re not 100% incorrect, but does it happen in 2027? 2028?

Logistically it’ll probably happen eventually, but when?

King of Hyrule? Or Tingle?

I can’t speak to the DVD special features, but the VHS intro has an interview with George (jump to 7:30).

George definitely talks about it like it was always there. To be fair he shot the scene for the film and intended to include it. So George views it as a scene intended for the original cut, but it wasn’t.

Every trailer and media buzz I saw for Alita made it look terrible. I made a joke at the films expense to a coworker and they immediately told me how it was one of their favorite films.

On a lark I saw it and was surprisingly amazed by it. It has its problems, the boyfriend character and the stupid eyes, but it’s a solid film.

I would love to see where that series goes. (And I know I could read the source material, but I’m hoping it’ll continue someday.)

and included that scene with Jabba but instead of it being Jabba it was some guy in a fur suit

The original theatrical release did not contain Jabba at all. A scene was shot with a human actor, but never used in the film.

We wouldn’t get Jabba in the film until the 1997 Special Edition, which replaced him with CGI. In the documentary alongside that release we do see the original clip and Han stepping on Jabba’s tail is due to Harrison Ford moving around the human actor in a way that doesn’t work with a tail in the way.

We also later got an updated Jabba for the DVD release.

So I can’t find a great answer, but as best I can tell StatCounter uses user agents to determine this data, the web browser being the most obvious source but not the only source.

The user agent for most web browsers on “macOS” the operating system generally report as “Mac OS X”. So other user agents, which report things like “Macintosh” but rarely actually “macOS”, are reported as “macOS”.

This also explains why “OS X” has a larger share than “macOS”. Web browsers on the macOS operating system are used more than “other”.

At first glance you’d think “OS X” and “macOS” should just be combined. But chances are if someone is using a web browser on macOS, they’re probably also using “other”.

Another problem is that we don’t know how StatCounter is handling duplicate/fake data. If I constantly hit refresh or send analytics from a single device, how is that counted? What if I send “OS X” and “macOS” data?

Luckily we also have the Cloudflare data, which shows Linux between 9% and 15%. So StatCounter using 10% is probably on the lower side, but within the margins.

The Thing should be fine.

This looks more action heavy than I would have guessed the film needs to be. I guess they’re trying something different, but I’m not sure it’s going to work.

Curious to see how it reviews.

I mean nowadays you carry a computer on your person constantly. Your hands are touching a computer, your eyes are looking at a computer.

Computer glasses are seen as the next step.

I’m not confident it actually is, but I understand the why it’s being tried.
