  • You forget how ridiculously difficult and expensive it was to buy a PS2 when it was released.

  • Amazon plans to give Alexa an AI overhaul — and a monthly subscription price

  • Honestly, nothing yet. I've only been playing with it for a few weeks. I just use the web interface on my phone to test the voice control. I've been looking at the esp32 devices that people have been building, but a lot of them admit that they can't come anywhere close to the reliability of the microphone array used in the Alexa.

  • And this is exact the reason I'm building a Home Assistant instance with local voice processing. Right now it takes a few seconds to process a request and take action on my crappy 1.8ghz laptop with only 4gb of RAM, but it basically does everything I use Alexa for. This announcement is just encouraging me to build a better server with an esp32 satellite.

  • It's not that anything would eat an alligator that's the problem. Plenty of things will eat an alligator, as long as it's dead. It's taking down a live alligator and swallowing it whole that's concerning.

  • Think of Luke as a religious reformist in a way, rejecting the institutions of a religion while not rejecting the religion itself. He was Martin Luther with a lightsaber.

    So he's a splitter...

    But seriously, we all know that Lucas was flying by the seat of his pants writing the sequels and that his wife is the real hero of Star Wars. Everything that came afterwards was created by someone else. In the end Lucas's story, Luke still used dark side powers. He called himself "Jedi", but he was simply a Force user with wild ideas about the past. There were no strictly light side users or dark side users anymore. There was simply the Force. If you want to take extended canon into account, Yoda even stated this when he destroyed the last of the Jedi archives. He understood that balance could only be truly restored by letting go of the past.

  • And everyone will still call it Twitter.

  • What he intended and what he showed us are two different things. By the end of ROTJ, there were no more Sith and no real Jedi left. Luke called himself a Jedi, but didn't really follow the strict rules and didn't completely shun the dark side. He simply used it without anger. At that point, balance was truly restored.

  • Wanted to play some games, didn't have money but I did know someone that knew someone that knew someone that ran a BBS that had some pirated games.

    Yes, I'm that old.

  • Oh no, I'm being converted...

    Jump

  • And that's exactly what happened. Jedi tried to eliminate the Sith, the balance was lost, the Sith created the Choose One to bring back balance to the force, a whole lot of death and destruction ensued, and balance was restored.

  • How would you decorate this room?

  • With a built-in clothes dryer!

  • Former Far-Right Hard-Liner Says Billionaires Are Using School Board Races to Sow Distrust in Public Education

    Jump

  • Yeah, but then they moved all the factories to other countries. The public is now just a burden to them for wanting corporations to pay their fair share in taxes.

  • Tesla now spends ad money to influence shareholders approval of Elon Musk's $55B payday

    Jump

  • ...to justify giving $55B to Musk. Not even advertising their products or services. Just to satisfy Musk.

  • Angel lust is a common phenomenon. This is not entirely implausible.

  • Of course. He's in rich people's prison. They get all the perks.

  • Build her a server, install it at her house, set up some sort of automated DVD ripping mechanism so that she can digitize her own collection, wait for the inevitable tech support call, then go spend a Sunday afternoon fixing her server and digitizing her collection for her while she makes you dinner. You get to call it "quality time", and you get fed while keeping her happy and her collection as far away from yours as possible. Win/win, everyone is happy.

  • So they put apples, garlic fingers, and Pictou Pizza on the list, but no Halifax donairs. And no sugar shack maple sticks in New Brunswick? This is missing a lot...

  • 'Real men wear diapers': Trump supporters wear nappies

    Jump

  • I've seen the comments, and yes some are low effort ridicule about wearing a diaper. But the majority are ridiculing these people for making a mockery out of wearing a diaper. That's the difference. There are going to be elements in every group that punch down, but the Trump fans are made up entirely of that element. That's why they are making a mockery of wearing a diaper in the first place.

    Instead of getting defensive, try taking a step back and look at what people are actually doing rather than focusing on the few bad examples and lecturing all of us about being ableist.
