Echo Dot

I think it’s like magnets, they repel each other.

Why would anyone think he was related to Harvey Weinstein? That’s not how first names work. My father has a friend called George but no one thinks he’s related to the former president.

I seem to remember that the passwords were encrypted so, all they got was the passwords people use for their password manager which because people were using the password manager and therefore had random passwords it didn’t really matter hugely.

The other day my windows 11 computer booted and was unable to find the sound driver. I hadn’t done anything to it, it just randomly decided it couldn’t find the driver for some reason, after restart it was fine, but what the hell.

Yeah if you copy files from the command line it’s so much faster.

Wow Microsoft have actually introduced the one and only reason to update to Windows 11.

Ah, I see you went to that kind of school

As with most games I’m just not going to get it day one and wait for the reviews. It’s not like they’re going to run out of stock so there’s no harm in delaying things.

I want to see what they do with the RP side of things, as there are rumours of a proper RP mode, which would make online play actually bearable. But since it’s just rumours with no evidence, I’m going to wait.

Also elephants, the trunk has no bones in it so it’s just a hole in the skull, I’m sure future generations will portray it but the single giant eye.

But honestly pretty much no animal looks the same as its skeleton because every animal has a lot of fat and connective tissue which just doesn’t get preserved. Really the only animal that looks the same as a skeleton as it does when it’s alive is the frog.

Why are all the experts going on about the fact you might blind pilots but not talking about the fact that it won’t actually do anything.

It would have to be an astonishingly vast megastructure for it to have any effect at all. If we were talking about a structure 100 km across or more they might actually have some sort of point.

He famously isn’t rich. He manages the money of the rich, he himself is only well off. This isn’t his money he’s investing, it’s the money of the people he works for. So there’s obviously some market feeling that this is a good bet.

The fact that he was even able to make that bet is incredible. How deluded do you have to be to think the AI bubble won’t burst? Keeping it going will require in ever-increasing amounts of money to paper over the gaping chasms that keep cropping up, and eventually the amount of money necessary to keep it going will cease to be feasible. Then, after taking gullible investor for all of they’ve got, the whole thing will fall over in the world’s most well deserved and predictable market crash.

The subprime mortgage collapse was inevitable only in hindsight, you had to have a good understanding of the market to see it in advance. To see the level of corruption and false promises that have to be made in order to make the mortgage bubble possible. But everyone can see the AI BS right out in the open, I’m not talking about the “how many Rs are in strawberry” questions either, I can sort of see why that’s not really a fair question. I’m talking about the fact that every single business that has ever tried to replace its employees with AI, has always failed, and failed almost immediately. Even Amazon couldn’t make it work.

You have to be pretty deep in the Kool-Aid to think that ubisoft has “taken risks” with Assassins Creed.

If you try to draw a horse based only on its skeleton you would come up with some cthulhu monster.

The media does not want to write about incremental discoveries so instead they make up sensationalist headlines and then clarify in the body of the work. Knowing full well that a lot of people won’t read beyond the headline.

Fancy been so stupid that you can’t work that out.

My girlfriend’s sister has a horse and I refuse to go near it. It’s a two ton object being operated by a pea of a brain, he once got into a panic because his friend was behind him and he couldn’t see him, so he ran around the field madly until he collided with a stationary tree. Oh and he’s scared of blue wheelbarrows, just blue ones, wheelbarrows of any other colour or apparently acceptable.

He has already stood on her foot once.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if we had marginally competent political representatives rather than the complete wastes of oxygen that we have right now.

I think I have it in my contract that I don’t have to work longer hours just because the time changed. Basically I start work at 9:00 a.m. (or whatever might start time for that week is) and then I finish 8 hours later. Whatever time 8 hours after the start time is, I go home at that time, regardless of what the clocks currently say.

Daylight savings happens in different countries at different times, so might have been today for some people.

If he’s invented teleportation that’s totally different I’m all for that.
