  Get a domain and register an MX record.

  If your email provider shuts down, forward the mail somewhere else.

  I was always amazed at how we can catch objects in flight.

  Compared to how long it takes me to calculate projectile momentum in Physics 1

  Power efficient if all your software agrees with it. I use an M3 at work and it dies in a couple hours during sleep.

  Or bring server browsers back and let server mods handle it.

  I’ve rarely, if ever, had a bad time using a server browser

  Investors are saying they’ll back out if no AI in products. So tech leaders will talk talk and all deal with ai.

  Even worse ISPs are asking for routing numbers instead of credit cards now so you can’t even block or dispute payments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good. We had perfectly reasonable rebuildables for so long.

  And then Juul made disposables popular and in came waves of China disposables.

  It very likely will be. IIRC the Satoshi wallet has a significant amount of coin in it.

  Oh wow I didn’t know that. I’ll have to double check for the states that are relevant for me.

  I imagine many people naively install a privacy extension and unknowingly have altered useragents

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google looks to be fully shutting down unsupported extensions and ad blockers in Chrome, such as uBlock Origin – which might push some folks to switch to Firefox⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can spoof your useragent to appear as chrome. And you should as it makes your browser less “unique”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk I really like playing my backups upscaled with high fps. I wont buy any more though unless it’s in Steam and not with a petty DRM.

  Man if it’s a state of emergency let them sink with the ship.

  It so sad, they probably complied because they needed their jobs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I definitely encourage it!

  It’s one of the most polished games in circulation as of the 2.0 update. I think you will like it now if you previously were disappointed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk Cyberpunk makes GTA look like a intern project.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This.

  I follow code of ethics and raise concerns where applicable. But even if you refuse, they’ll just pick another development team out of their hats to implement anyway.

  So many are afraid to lose their jobs now they will keep their heads down and do it anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes!

  90% of the games I buy now are couch coop. Was sad about Halo abandoning it.

  Couch coop defined my view of what video games are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people seemingly against AI chatbots aiding in writing code?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We built a Durable task workflow engine to manage infrastructure and we asked a new hire to add a small feature to it.

  I checked on them later and they expressed they were stuck on an aspect of the change.

  I could tell the code was ChatGPT. I asked “you wrote this with ChatGPT didn’t you?” And they asked how I could tell.

  I explained that ChatGPT doesn’t have the full context and will send you on tangents like it has here.

  I gave them the docs to the engine and to the integration point and said "try using only these and ask me questions if you’re stuck for more than 40min.

  They went on to become a very strong contributor and no longer uses ChatGPT or copilot.

  I’ve tried it myself and it gives me the wrong answers 90% of the time. It could be useful though. If they changed ChatGPT to find and link you docs it finds relevant I would love it but it never does even when asked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair, Inc.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That could track because Nintendo hasn’t gone after Moonstone island either and that uses food / barns to store captured “spirits”.

  Verify that your device does not share your contact book and texts over bluetooth (will break the infotainment built in “call X person” feature should you use that over your phones assistant for some reason)

  Its usually in the bluetooth settings for a particular device paired to your phone
