The extra fun part is when it starts bitching at you for filling up the cloud storage allotment that you didn't know you were using.

Prox ,

Oh interesting. My college had a required freshman intro course that touched on stuff like this + introduced you to on-campus resources that could provide additional assistance.

Prox ,

Hell yeah. Finally, some more Gears! Probably going to be a 2026 game, but it is what it is.

Prox ,

This didn't even look like an Assassin's Creed game when I first saw the trailer during the showcase today. That's a good thing, btw. This almost feels like an actual fresh approach.

Prox ,

This looks really cool. A little James Bond (gadgets), a little Mirror's Edge (1st person parkour), and then some classically wired Perfect Dark sci-fi-ish story. And it never hurts to be on Game Pass day one.

Prox ,

What is this? An expansion? A standalone?

Prox ,

Came here to say this. Amazing game.

Prox ,

Or, even worse, they want to apply some of the rules, cherry-picking bits and pieces of a framework without truly understanding it.

I really want to get back into this, but I fucking having to buy old, partially-sunset/vaulted to DLC packs on other to have full characters and locations.

I would buy Final Shape on day 1 if that purchase included all the old DLC packs. I need my stasis back, damn it.

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information ( futurism.com )

You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)...

Obligatory "DDG is Bing without Microsoft's tracking." Just calling a spade a spade.

Prox ,

Have you just, I dunno, used Bing?

Gonna be an unpopular opinion, but for me Bing is more useful than DDG. Note that I didn't say, "better"... I know that increase in relevance of results for Bing stems from the fact that they roll all my historical info into what they serve up.

Prox ,

Interesting! Did your results have that copilot summary thing? I get most of my answers there without having to visit a handful of ad-laden sites myself, though it also cites its references in case I don't trust the summary.

Would it be possible to add (smoother, in some cases) integration with music services? Imagine one library that could reach into Spotify, Tidal, etc. all in one player.

Prox ,

Hey, hey, now! It doesn't just write full emails from merely a single sentence... it also summarizes full emails down to one sentence on the other end.

Prox ,

Actually true. They hooked me in the golden era of rewards points and I'll be damned if it isn't way better than Google now. Bing image search is especially great. Even their copilot thing (RIP Cortana) is useful.

‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services ( www.theguardian.com )

*What rights do you have to the digital movies, TV shows and music you buy online? That question was on the minds of Telstra TV Box Office customers this month after the company announced it would shut down the service in June. Customers were told that unless they moved over to another service, Fetch, they would no longer be...

I went the route of a physical collection, but man do they make it difficult unless you get a commercial player that is likely to have ads and doesn’t integrate well into a home theater setup.

What? Where are you seeing this issue?

I grabbed a Panasonic UHD player and it's been a dream. Zero ads, HDMI control so I can use the same remote that works with my TV and receiver, it has full Atmos and Dolby Vision support so the quality is amazing... truly the whole package. And it's available everywhere you'd expect.

Prox ,

I'm pumped for this game but I will never pay $30 to beta test anything.
