He also has a company that does anti drone tech for the Department of Defense.

I would highly highly doubt it. He’s just the “science man” of memes so he’s used as a stand in for all scientists, or at least science communicators.

The older I get, the more becoming a robot tiger seems like as good a retirement plan as I’m gonna get.

The foam gets on the gloves and then you take them off. Et Voila, no foam on your hands.

Or they make a copy of your phone, alphanumeric password and all, and just sit on it for ten years until quantum computers make solving the password a piece of cake.
You should assume that any device confiscated by authorities will be copied and broken into eventually. Treat all data on said device as if it’s already compromised.

The question is, at that price can you really afford not to?
- Comment on Amazon's Fallout TV Series Renewed For Season 2 2 months ago:
I find the show to be just OK. I’m on episode 7 right now. I actually much prefer the flashbacks VS the present day story. I’d like a whole season just about vault tec building the vaults, manipulating world events, etc…
I also started enjoying the show a lot more when I resigned myself to the fact that maximus is just a low int, high lck build so that his actions make more sense.
- Comment on best anime to start on 2 months ago:
That’s why I recommended it. It’s baby’s first isekaia, basically.
- Comment on best anime to start on 2 months ago:
Nope, that’s correct. I misremembered.
- Comment on best anime to start on 2 months ago:
FCLC, Cowboy Bebop, Sword Art Online, and Frieren would be good ones to start with.
FCLC: modern setting with absurdist and Sci fi
Cowboy Bebop: future setting, Sci fi meets western
Sword Art Online: modern characters in a fantasy setting, fantasy with a tinge of Sci fi
Frieren: fantasy setting, plays with tropes of the genre so maybe leave this one until you’ve watched a couple of more traditional fantasy set series. Hard not to recommend it to everyone though.
- Comment on best anime to start on 2 months ago:
The problem with recommending opm as a starter is that it parodies a bunch of shows and Manga that OP probably won’t have the references for. I would worry that OP might miss most if not all of the jokes without the context.

I’ve done the tape thing before. It was a little bit of a pain but not that hard.

That’s why you run a couple rounds of preclear to stress them and then run a fresh smart report.

You’ve added nothing to this conversation.
- Comment on Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works 2 months ago:
Digital zoom is just cropping and enlarging. You’re not actually changing any of the data. There may be enhancement applied to the enlarged image afterwards but that’s a separate process.

Block chain fans using the block chain for anything except what block chain is designed for. Name a more iconic duo.
- Comment on Fully working 270€ Nest Dropcam will no longer be supported. 3 months ago:
Look into ratgdo if your willing to DIY. Konnected is just about to release a version of the same. More costly but konnected actually has customer service.
- Comment on How does delisting a game make/save money? 3 months ago:
The law needs to change. Artistic works that are written off for tax purposes must revert to the public domain permanently and immediately.

For me it was green day playing on the classic rock station. There’s been many many other signs that I’m getting old but I can definitely remember that one.

What a weird thing to get hung up on.
- Comment on Palworld is now available in Early Access on Steam (and Gamepass, I believe) 5 months ago:
I tried on pc gamepass and it’s very underbaked. No controller icons at all and not even a way to quit the game at the menu. You literally have alt+F4 to quit the game. I’ll wait a few weeks for the bugs to be fixed and try again.
- Comment on Plex To Launch a Store For Movies and TV Shows 5 months ago:
I wouldn’t be so sure if that. It’s possible, yeah, but if my theory is right they see the library sharing as the carrot to get normies to download the plex app onto their roku or apple TV.
Pivoting to a streaming only app would close off that avenue for user acquisition permanently.
- Comment on Plex To Launch a Store For Movies and TV Shows 5 months ago:
I was trying to think how Plex thinks this is going to play out, knowing that this move will piss off their customer base. Then I realized, this isn’t a play for Plex’s existing customer base. This is a play for their users “friends and family” that are enjoying their customer’s shared libraries already.
Their ‘customer’ base has for many many years been developing a user base for Plex of technologically naive people with Plex apps installed but could never run their own server. If Plex knows, for example, that for every paying Plex customer there’s three other users pulling from someone’s library, that’s a huge opportunity for them to convert those users to paying customers.
Everyone that set up a Plex server and then shared it with your tech-phobic parents, cousins, friends, etc… made this possible.
I don’t like it but I can’t argue with the logic from Plex here.

The people that most need to wear a silencing mask are the same people that will fight tooth and nail to not have to wear it. Expecting them to voluntarily do so is crazy.
- Comment on DARPA Research Leads To Groundbreaking Discovery In Quantum Computing. 5 months ago:
Almost certainly not yet. But sooner than I’d like. There’s a ton of encrypted comms that have been vacuumed up by state and private actors who are just waiting for quantum computers to get good enough to crack them.

With the addition of overhead trains, that might be possible in the future.

Yeah, because Steam changed their terms of service to prevent companies from doing said bait and switch schemes.
