All the alternative businesses to Amazon suck. And also probably advertise on Amazon as drop shippers anyway.

You know jailbreaking isn’t illegal right? It’s the same is removing one of those void if removed stickers, you won’t get tech support anymore but who cares about Apple tech support?

- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 9 hours ago:
That’s why I didn’t pick Minecraft, Civ has a story mode and KCD is all about its story, just like GTA.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 details: Screen size, controllers, storage, microphone chat and games 11 hours ago:
If that’s the case it should be 20% cheaper in other markets where the tariff doesn’t exist. Want to take bets?
- Comment on In a paper, media mogul Tim O'Reilly and economist Ilan Strauss say OpenAI likely trained GPT-4o on paywalled O'Reilly Media books without a licensing agreement. 12 hours ago:
You’re the problem is that even if their books are in the data set there’s no evidence that they will taken directly from the source. OpenAI scrape websites right, and O’Reilly books are often pirated because of their predatory business model (they changed their textbooks every year meaning you can’t use a previous year’s book). So it’s entirely possible, although unlikely, that the content got in there from scraping content from a pirate site.

Because their only saving grace up until this point has been relatively cheap consoles.

I don’t want to be encouraging that though because if we’re paying per hour of campaign then Civ would be $6K and even something like Kingdom Come Deliverance would be $400
I don’t have that kind of money.

Isn’t a Dyson Sphere supposed to use solar panels? I don’t know how you would find enough water to cover the interior of an object with the radius of the Earth

There’s a phone near me and they have two rotating brushes. They look like the things that wash your car in a drive in car wash, except with bristles rather than floppy mops.
- Comment on GOG seems to be considering paid membership option 2 days ago:
I thought it was a command that you could launch steam with that would give you access to older versions. I’m sure I have done that when trying to mod GTA and it needed a particular version.
- Comment on GOG seems to be considering paid membership option 2 days ago:
Wait so currently you can’t install previous versions of games you only get the most up-to-date version. That’s daft to expect people to pay for, that’s a free feature on Steam.

Unless you’re a blonde head blue eyed Caucasian with no tattoos, I wouldn’t personally risk it. ICE used to be at least microscopically reasonable, they wouldn’t detain people who demonstradedly weren’t illegals. Not now though.
You have to wonder what the hell their end game is.

- Comment on When Your Threat Model Is Being a Moron 4 days ago:
So your conspiracy is that a left-wing aligned journalist was in the phone of a right-wing politician. Therefore it’s his fault he received the information and shouldn’t have reported it?
Really? Even the flat Earth people would think that’s stupid.
- Comment on When Your Threat Model Is Being a Moron 4 days ago:
I think even the Trump administration is just about bright enough to realize that disappearing a top journalist wouldn’t go well for them. Especially if he never turned up again.
