The original subreddit simulator ran on simple Markov chains.

Subreddit simulator GPT2 used GPT2, and was already so spookily accurate that IIRC its creators specifically said they wouldn’t create one based on GPT3 out of fear that people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between real and not generated content

Even the cheapest shower curtains have extra sewn in threads at the bottom which weigh them down and prevent clinging.

Mould isn’t an issue if you’re airing out the bathroom properly, and washing the curtains every week or so.

Glass is also prone to mould as well, but you can’t just throw out it. The tracks they require are particularly difficult to keep clean and give me the heeby jeebies.

Washing curtains is infinitely easier than maintaining and cleaning the glass tracks.

That’s even more confusing, why not forego the shower glass entirely and just have a shower curtain instead?

Yes I know it’s likely retrofitted, but I won’t pass a chance to say that shower curtains are superior. Shower glass looks glossy in brochures, but everyone IRL has a sad squeegee hanging from it.

Nope, this is exactly how surveillance capitalism works

I never thought tablet computers would become popular among the mainstream public.

When the iPad first came out, it was functionally worse than even the cheap netbooks, and I didn’t see much purpose in the larger screen with phones getting bigger and bigger every year. Wireless display was also already available, so I envisioned people would just cast content to a TV if they really wanted a bigger screen. Even reading articles etc seemed to be already covered by eReaders, which were already available for half a decade by the time the iPad released.

Little did I know how brain rotted people would become.

Tbh I personally still don’t see the utility in most tablets, except in specific niches like in digital note taking/drawing, or industrial cases where it becomes a glorified HUD.

Already existed for half a decade.

Google Coral is probably the most famous and is mainly suited for small IoT devices, e.g. speeding up image recognition for security cameras. They come in all shapes and sizes though.

Ubisoft asked the Rayman team (who have produced some of the best platformers) to develop Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, regarded as the best metroidvania of 2024.

It failed to meet sales expectations, so they disbanded the teams and cancelled the sequel.

Turns out gamers™️ do vote with their wallets, and they vote for churned out sequels.

Skip the proprietary ninite and just use a proper package manager, like chocolatey, scoop, or winget.

Ninite relies on a private company to add popularly requested programs, and has an extremely small, often outdated repository of packages.

If you must have a GUI, chocolatey has that as well.

You can buy an eSim adapter online for ~$15 off sites such as AliExpress.

Such adapters are open source, and can support up to holding and swapping between 20 eSim cards, which makes phones with physical sim cards strictly dominate those without them.

Nope, Apple is way more anal than that.

You need to have an iCloud account registered in the EU/Japan, AND be physically located in EU/Japan.

Changing the iCloud account region requires you to contact Apple, surrendering all of your current account balance, and providing them with an EU/Japan billing method + address. Users have also reported mixed results with VPNs in getting around the physical location requirement.
