Yeah shit tends to look worse when you zoom in, compress, and drop a whole bunch of frames.

I don’t think anyone sees one single old scar and thinks self harm.

It wasn’t based on the book at all. The book itself is a compilation of short stories, but the movie’s script wasn’t based on any of those. It was originally written as an original action script that had nothing to do with anything Asimov. The studio that agreed to produce it made the writers rename it to “I, Robot” and insert a bunch of Asimov sounding shit in there, like the 3 laws and some character names.

For your next assignment, try to get them to draw images of analog watches that show something other than 10:10.

Lemmy.

This really is not a rare thing. At all.

Why wouldn’t they? Links did not stop turning purple, this still happens very often.

I have node named pve too. Small world.

Well I drive a heavily touch-screenified car, and I hate it. Have had the damn thing for almost a year but I still get nervous when I have to adjust the A/C.

They won’t stop until even the pedals are touch buttons, are they?

That is woke. Banned.

You can have devices on your wifi network without giving them access to the internet. You set your firewall (which, for most people, is the router that comes with the internet subscription) to block all internet traffic to and from those devices while still allowing them to communicate with the other devices on the same local network. Fairly straightforward on most routers with a little bit of time spent looking up the basics.

I genuinely don’t see the problem with those. Amber lights on the left side of the car light up, that can only mean one thing. There is no ambiguity there whether they’re playing snake or just flashing. I have never, on no occasion, found myself confused by those.

The only part of physx in that game that I remember is that it used to cause massive performance and stability issues.

Twice, because usually it’s two sticks.

In any case, RAM failure is rare enough that quadrupling its chances is not gonna make any meaningful difference. Even if it does, RAM is the easiest thing to replace in a PC. Don’t even need to go offline while waiting for a new stick. Someone who’s got the cash to build that thing in the first place won’t be too upset by the cost of another 32gb stick either, I don’t think.

This concept isn’t new either. Factories have been using very similar methods to use the heat of the exhaust gasses to power the sensors and whatnot on top of their smoke stacks for some time now, for example.

Nobody’s gonna dispute the necessity of some sort of server somewhere in the mix. But does it need to be something like PSN? A central 3rd party service that most games only use because they’re forced to?

It’s a translator. Takes commands that are meant for windows to understand, and translates them into something Linux can work with. If the program requires the services of the kernel, for instance, it makes its system call as usual but the call gets converted to a command for the Linux kernel. At the end of the day it’s the Linux kernel doing the work that was aimed at the windows kernel, and there is no windows kernel anywhere at all. That’s unlike an emulator where you’d be running the windows kernel inside your Linux environment.

Wine also creates a windows-looking file structure so that programs can find the stuff they’re looking for where they expect them to be. Like, it creates a “program files” directory somewhere in your filesystem and tells the windows applications to look there if they need to. There’s more to it, but you get the gist I hope.

In a way, wine extends your Linux environment to support windows stuff. Whereas an emulator would create a new windows environment entirely. The goal is not to trick software into thinking it’s on a windows machine, it’s to make it work on Linux. The difference there is that by making it work on Linux you can make it work together and share resources with the rest of the system instead of remaining isolated in its own emulated environment.

Have you tried peppermint or maybe coriander?

Jokes aside, I believe the password entry stage is before any sort of localization happens, meaning what your keyboard looks like doesn’t matter and the input language defaults to English. You have to type as if you’re using an English keyboard. That’s hardly a good solution if you’re unfamiliar with that layout of course.

I’ve always found it super interesting that Disney made a kids’ thing out of that particular book. Because that’s a bleak fucking book full of nasty filthy disgusting terrible people doing nasty filthy disgusting terrible things. Someone went “you know the classic where a couple of city officials drool after a gypsy woman and violently rape her in a cathedral and then hang her in the street? And a grotesque monster rampages against them for it? Wouldn’t the kids just love that one but as a musical and instead of hanging her they burn her at the stake?”

Compulsory service exists in many parts of the world and it is rarely good.

Forcing people to do work they don’t want to do leads to very unproductive environments that are also very open to abuse. Being forced by law to do the work has a tendency to create super unhealthy power dynamics.
