There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don’t.

How it has any upvotes when the domain name is RIGHT THERE is beyond me.

Robot cars can be crashed with tinfoil and painted cardboard ( www.theregister.com )

A team of researchers from prominent universities – including SUNY Buffalo, Iowa State, UNC Charlotte, and Purdue – were able to turn an autonomous vehicle (AV) operated on the open sourced Apollo driving platform from Chinese web giant Baidu into a deadly weapon by tricking its multi-sensor fusion system, and suggest the...

TL;DR: faking out a self-driving system is always going to be possible, and so is faking out humans. But doing so is basically attempted murder, which is why the existence of an exploit like this is not interesting or new. You could also cut the brake lines or rig a bomb to it.

Alice is 16 and she’s got some arthritis keeping her grounded, but she’s still cuddly and loves her people. ♥️

I’m not an expert, but wouldn’t proper deletion be writing random ones and zeroes to the block? Multiple times?

It certainly feels more deleted…

EVERYONE PLEEEEEASE BACK THIS!

First off, it’s a sequel (by the original creators) to a game that clearly helped inspire Mass Effect as well as some of the greatest game designers ever. Second, it’s being made without any of the modern live service, microtransaction, evil tricksy EULA manipulations, and other bullshit plagues of recent gaming. THIRD, the art and music are lovingly hand-crafted and build off of one of the most charming, memorable, and musically brilliant games of all time. AND FOURTH, i want an Xbox port. We’re so close! Only $23k left!!!

I mean if Star Control 2 wasn’t vastly superior in every way or you could just erase it from history, the game would have had some charm to it. But comparatively, it was a pretty tragic letdown.

The one good part that I still remember though was the quest where you had to retrieve a Daktaklakpak Data Pak. That tickled me since I’m a sucker for fun wordplay.

Moral of the story: kids, be born rich and then you can live in a mansion and eat bath salts!

Wait, so…

  1. Lives in a shipping container
  2. Obviously on drugs
  3. Receives welfare from the government
  4. Screams racist shit at strangers

Is… is Elon Musk a hobo?

Arguably it’s not detrimental to the reputation of the game, but the company.

“Great game. Never buy it.”

This is Alice. I got her at the same time as I got Milo, about 12 years ago now. Milo passed way in 2022 and I miss him all the time. He was my buddycat, Alice is my bunnycat. She’s soft, fluffy, sweet, and lazy. She loves a warm spot and a lap to cuddle on, though since she’s about 16 years old now, she can’t really jump up onto things anymore. We also adopted a little lunatic kitten named Chess, and she hates him passionately. We keep her sequestered away from the kitten and the new dog we also adopted, but the little bastard loves her so much and wants nothing more than to be her best friend. He sits on the other side of the door and sings to her all day. She just hisses back. She’s entitled to be crotchety though. Sometimes we take her out and bring her onto the couch and set her up with some lap time and she just curls up in a ball until Chess comes along, at which point she hisses ceaselessly until he goes away.

Unrequited love, what a sad story.

This is Chess:

I love empirical cat ownership.

Or once you take either away, he will consistently want the one that isn’t there.

Stop trying to coin the phrase “streets ahead”.

Google sabotaged Windows Phone to protect Android. They refused to serve even standard Google web apps to the WP browser, instead relegating users to years-old mobile versions that looked and worked terribly. You could literally edit the user string on the Windows browser and get the modern, perfectly functional version. Then there was the constant YouTube fuckery where Google wouldn’t make a YouTube app for them, then wouldn’t let them make their own app either. The entire point was to starve the system to kill it in the cradle and on some level, it probably worked.

Looking at the fact that Google is under intense anticompetitive scrutiny now and has been egregiously destroying evidence every chance they get shows that this isn’t out of character for them.

I actually know that. It’s a reference to Community, which either inadvertently or otherwise acted like it’s not a real saying.

EvilBit ,

All good! Community is a great show. Check it out.

100%. They went from understanding the perils of success to exemplifying the worst of it. Don’t be (caught being) evil.

There are services that will migrate playlists. They’re not perfect, but I’ve seen them work before. I can’t remember the one I used.

EvilBit ,

That sounds familiar. I think I used it too. Thanks!
