As someone who uses Windows for work: that sounds about right, yup.

Why thank you

Hey, Sam! I have 64 Gigs in my PC! And guess what? I only make full use of it…sometimes.

I hope nobody here is giving LLMs access to their bank account, but if you are, first off: stop. Second off, consider this:

[Chief Financial Officer Jeremy Barnum] cautioned that customers could face consequences if they gave their credentials to an agent that subsequently carried out an unwanted transaction.

There’s a chance that you may lose your bank account simply through the virtue of giving an LLM access to it. This could violate the bank’s TOS, giving them grounds to terminate your account.

The writing has been on the wall for a long, long while now. Truth is, Bioware’s been fucking up well before Anthem and Mass Effect: Andromeda. Take a stroll with me down memory lane, all the way to the 2010s. The Nintendo Wii is dominating the console market, Sony released their first portable console, but more to the point, Mass Effect 2 was released.

And Mass Effect 2 had DLCs. A lot of them. Some were included with specific versions of the game, some were sold separetely. Pretty standard practice, at least at the time. What was decidedly non-standard and also needlessly complicated and infuriating is that a good chunk of those DLCs were only available through Bioware’s own Cerberus Network store. You couldn’t even buy them directly from EA Origin, which was the official store of Bioware’s own publisher! And forget Steam. No, you had to use Bioware’s super special store. And I just want to stress, this was their idea. Bioware’s. Not anyone else’s.

So, fine, you might be thinking, you just needed to load up the store and buy the DLC, right? And yes, you would be partly correct. But you didn’t pay with regular money, oh no. Before you could actually buy the DLC, you had to convert your regular pleb money to Bioware bucks or whatever their fake money was called. Then and only then could you buy the DLCs for the game. And just to pour salt in the wound, they were never on sale. Not their coins, not the DLCs themselves. Full price the whole time.

This was rectified just a short 11 years later with Mass Effect Legendary Edition, which already includes all the DLCs and mercifully, removed the Cerberus Network store completely. Of course, Bioware was already in freefall when this was released, chiefly due to Anthem and ME: Andromeda flopping hard, but hey. Better late than never.

Don’t think it’s that hot a take, bud.

That’s a good start, but it only works with games where AI use is disclosed.

From my experience, most of Arch derivatives.

That or just padding, idk

Same here. The infuriating tragedy of self-censoring or algospeak aside, “Ahh” is phonetically not even close to “ass”. If we’re going this route, wouldn’t something like “Goofy S Car” be much closer?

Seriously. I guess doing an image search for “front panel cable” is just too much effort for some people.

It looks great, I just wish they didn’t ship it with Denuvo.

No, we shouldn’t shame people for using a device that happens to have a microphone. But we absolutely should shame people who knowingly and flagrantly use recording devices with a complete disregard to other people’s privacy.

The camera-free glasses, code-named Luna, will still feature an array of six microphones […]

So the glasses will still record innocent bystanders without consent, only without video? That’s not much better. The shaming will and should continue.

Same here. Here’s a archive.org link: https://web.archive.org/web/20260910020853/https://www.wired.com/story/openai-navier-stokes-math-discovery-academics/

Tropico 6. Trouble is, I suck at it. I had to restart the second mission probably seven times or so before I finally managed to finish it. However, I still like it, there’s just a lot of systems to keep track of.

He continued: “That was a hasty judgment on my part. Unless AI takes one more leap and reaches a point where no one can tell the difference, what I believed was still closer to an ideal than a reality. I expected some of you would be disappointed by our use of AI. I did not expect it to become this big.”

So… they’re completely fine with hiding AI usage as long as noone can tell the difference? That is super shady, man.

Cool, thanks for the feedback! Once I got my deck, I immediately flashed Bazzite on it, for no good reason, honestly. Mostly because it was the hot new thing and wanted to try it out, but in doing so I never even tried SteamOS. Because of this, I was left wondering what was wrong with the original OS, hence this post. I’ll probably give SteamOS a whirl later this month just to see.

Nah, I want to keep using it as a gaming device. I changed the original OS to Bazzite because I absolutely need to flash alternate OSes on everything I can, the voices in my head tell me to. But joking aside, your question remains pertinent: why change the system? I honestly never gave SteamOS a fair shake and I probably should.

The Zuck failed again? Good! Fuck that guy. Just chuck it on the pile along with Meta’s pervert glasses, Meta’s Libra cryptocurrency, Meta’s Metaverse and just Meta in general.
