What’s old is new again. “Glass” desktops and interfaces have made at least 3 rounds so far.

Other side of the country.

True, but it booted Win 7 next, so it’s not like I was leaving windows.

Autocorrect seems to have gotten worse? i remember it working better, but now I find it happily inserts incorrect words and leads to a false sense of security. I turned it off and just look for the red underlines to tell me I screwed up.

Sounds like a recipe for Unpredictable Rewards and messing with loyalty systems. Hook people on a loyalty program, slowly jack up the price, then throw in some real deals to keep them gambling for more. Don’t think an AI is necessary to do this, but corporate loves AI.

The radio signals were essentially point source, so they’ll still dissipate. I’m not going to do the math, but like you said, others would need to be listening with the right gear at the right time to catch a signal and need a really impressive array to catch it. Yeah, the Dark Forest concept would be darkly funny.

What are these games? Steam is littered with these and waifu porno stuff… Not kink shaming here but what’s the attraction?

Supposedly our 200-ish year old bubble of lightspeed radio signals now encompasses 75 star systems. Unfortunately the signal gets diminished over distance thanks to the inverse square rule, so they’d maybe receive a signal but not be able to distinguish it from the CMB.

Sharp, bitter, stomach pains.

The democrats are aware that their names are on the list and they’re the only ones that will be held accountable for it. The republicans will hold witch burnings while completely ignoring their own member’s names on the list.

Beat me to it. Thanks for posting it!

4 with ambivalence. One parent was no good. The other was good but didn’t defend us much.

The biggest crime in AAA games is the tools paying top dollar for preorders and early access to games that have beta-level problems with gameplay.

Wait three or more months, they almost always go on sale and have had a patch or two. More playable, save $.

So finally they’ve figured out that “privatization” is a shitty idea. Not only does it introduce another point of failure in logistics and operations, but the private sector doesn’t mind trying to make every contract on they can retire off of using taxpayer money.

Did you even bother to read what I wrote instead of reiterating points I already made?

Because compared to America everyone else’s “shit” is 10x better than our “none at all”.

You completely ignored the “permanent lifestyle change” aspect. It doesn’t matter whether the person in need of weight loss does it via diet and exercise or via diet and ozempic, the diet/lifestyle that they got themselves fat on has to change.

You’re basically blaming the drug for the person’s inability to psychologically deal with diet. That isn’t what the drug does. No, you don’t need to eat back to your old weight, that’s the part where permanent change to diet comes in.

I already stated a caveat for conditions that may be outside the user’s control, so don’t use that as an excuse for all users. Yet again, the doctor and patient have to discuss the risks. I’m done here.

I think most medications are meant to be accompanied with permanent lifestyle changes where possible. No, you should not take this drug “forever”. If you take ozempic for weight loss but choose to continue eating like shit then it isn’t the drug’s fault. Assuming of course there isn’t some other medical disorder leading to weight gain, but again, balancing the negative health effects of obesity vs any negative effects of weight loss drugs needs to be examined by patient and physician.

Like many medications, you are balancing the risks of continuing with an unmedicated health problem or any negative side effects of the medication.

Personally I don’t care for the trend that is RGB EvReyWhERe!!1!1! MoRe!1!1! Especially in what amounts to pretty normal cases. Just a box with a bunch of bolt on lights and fans. Yay?

I far more admire a computer where someone has taken the time to actually invest some customization that took skill. Bending watercool hard tubing around a hand made or modified case. Lights are fine for accent or drama, but not as a misrepresentation of uniqueness or effort.
