  • AI-made videos using attractive young women promote Poland's EU exit

    Jump

  • And much like the UK version it will be led by a grotty old white man with bad teeth and a pocket full of roubles.

  • I'm onto you

    Jump

  • I played on the Xbox 360.

    That was the experience without mods.

    10/10. Would crash again. Never really felt the need to play a Bethesda game since. Which is handy because there's only been like two.

  • How many Musketeers?

    Jump

  • I think Batman & Robin finished his career.

    Last seen in 300+ episodes of Tedious Police Procedural Show.

  • Trump’s Mystery Bruise Spreads to His Other Hand

    Jump

  • Concerns Hopes

  • People Who Drink Bottled Water on a Daily Basis Ingest 90,000 More Microplastic Particles Each Year

    Jump

  • Although my filter is made of plastic and the water travels through plastic pipes. I'm wondering how much of that becomes microplastics.

    I mean I'm not going to stop, because I'm fucking full of them anyway, but still...

  • BentoPDF is a self hostable, privacy first PDF Toolkit

  • Can it also redact text from documents without allowing you to just copy and paste it back out again?

    Asking for a friend.

  • Google CEO Says We're All Going to Have to Suffer Through It as AI Puts Society Through the Woodchipper

    Jump

  • We'll just tell them they're reopening Epstein Island and this is the first flight.

  • Extremely rare East German game console from the late 1970s tested — only such device produced by communist GDR, bought for $1,000 at auction

    Jump

  • Looks similar to the old Radofin TV game unit I used to have. 10 games, and most of them were Pong variants.

    Makes sense. The Soviets cloned a few Western machines. They had a clone of the ZX Spectrum too.

  • Good deal

    Jump

  • Plus you get to cosplay as a Silent Hill 2 boss.

  • Do Costcos usually have an ATM machine?

    Jump

  • They take both in the UK.

  • Justice Department Says Filming Immigration Raids Is 'Domestic Terrorism'

    Jump

  • It's always the ones you mostly suspect.

  • I didn't realize my LG TV was spying on me until I turned off this setting

    Jump

  • Yeah, I vaguely remember it from when it was originally reported on, and all the articles about it seem to be from 10 years ago.

    Apparently the tech is still in use, but it's very niche. They can embed it into e.g. sports TV intended for broadcast in bars, and physically go to the bar with a phone app to check to see if they're using the expensive public broadcast version, or the cheaper home version and then fine the venue for non compliance.

    In the UK, they just broadcast with a pint glass in the corner of the screen instead.

    It kind of relies on the belief that phones are always listening, while the truth is much worse IMO. They don't need to. They're tracking enough about you already.

  • Trump Announces the U.S. Has Bombed Nigeria

    Jump

  • Attacked Venezuela. Largest oil reserves in the world.

    Bombed Nigeria. Largest oil reserves in Africa.

    Expressed an interest in invading Greenland. Guess what?

  • I didn't realize my LG TV was spying on me until I turned off this setting

    Jump

  • Yeah, I know it was touted.

    But this one never really seemed to take off. The idea was they'd embed their listening tech into other apps, but as far as I can tell no other apps really wanted it because TV was already dying a death.

    Plus if you're going to record everything, why not voices. And on Android it tells you if an app access the microphone.

    This is just one of those things that bigger tech killed.

    Jump

  • This sounds like the kind of thing you'd hear from someone who smokes things off tin foil in their car.

  • Random idea: a federated alternative to Amazon Prime built from independent shops?

    Jump

  • The company I work for actually already tried it like 20 years ago, got immediately scammed with an expensive credit card chargeback (we'd already passed the money on) and the boss pulled the plug on it.

    I think most shops don't want you to see competitors prices and be able to swap to them with a click. They were like walled gardens and only begrudgingly use Amazon because some people think the rest of the internet is scary and don't trust it.

    Amazon already shows us where that approach goes. It results in a melting pot of the cheapest possible crap.

  • Is This The GREATEST In-Camera Effect of ALL TIME?

    Jump

  • I got socks for Christmas. The packaging is awful AI slop.

    Jump

  • It's the "please kill me" eyes on every bit of small business AI slop that gets me.
