I just had someone on my team work with 3 closely related Google data libraries, basically 3 connectors for the same data churning thingy.
One was only compatible with Python, the second was only workable in C, and the third was in fucking JRuby.
Okay, but Google uses it in a way where directly going to the server they host F-Droid.apk, downloading and installing it counts as sideloading.
If anything, using Google Play is sideloading by that definition, since I can’t just download a release from the originators’ server, they need to first transfer it into a secondary location, Google’s servers, and I can only install it from there.
The people who would be okay with this already don’t own computers, they go with a phone.
IMO it’s great but it is a departure from earlier titles in more than just going to 3D, and the sides are a 90s caricature of the US/China/Middle-Eastern people, so it’s something that you definitely couldn’t make today.
Like the “terrorist” side gets suicide bombers and a unit called “angry mob” to which Chinese flamethrowers or American snipers are a good counter, while China gets two soldiers for the price of one and propaganda loudspeakers everywhere that makes units fight harder.
The story is barely there as well, which was a strong point of the RA2 and Tiberium universes.
This day is to be remembered.
Is it only me that had the C&C Generals Nuke Cannon tagline going off in their heads saying BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN in a deliberate voice and a heavy Chinese accent?
Solar is technically fusion though
Investors are trying to keep the thing going to offload to the next chump, and then US retirement funds will end up holding the bag at the very end when it pops.
It’s very hard, takes a lot of time, and is kinda pointless to scale it up, because everyone knows the demand won’t last.
It’s an oligopoly of mostly 3 companies who together have 90% market share. The third one not involved in this deal just announced they are closing their direct to consumer brand Crucial, and are focusing on AI as much as they can.
So this is only this year, but they can keep throwing nonexistent money at it in perpetuity as long as the bubble lasts.
I can already imagine articles of Americans dying of thirst because all their water has been taken to cool datacenters that use terribly inefficient algorithms to solve Candy Crush levels for me.
And a lot of ESL speakers will write in a mishmash, since they read off of the Internet with mixed sources.
Gadget Hackwrench.
I rest my case. Didn’t even watch the show.
How do you know they honour your decision to deny them the footage, instead of taking it without your knowledge or consent?
Except your GPU fans will start screaming when you press skip.
They hope
Yeah, you’re right, I looked it up.
Apparently that’s the “Chinese characteristics” in “socialism with Chinese characteristics”.
Buy a Framework, I have 4 slots that can be everything from USB-A to C to RJ45 to card readers when I need it, and I can charge the thing from any port.
It’s setting expectations. Just because I can wear a clip on my nose, I won’t stop telling the local idiot to stop farting loudly in the elevator.
Nah, you had to use all 3. It was 3 connectors for different things.
Our codebase is a mess and I suggested putting “we are not stupid, we just work with Google” into our job ads looking for data engineers proficient with C and JRuby.
