Did you even read the article? This is a matter of limiting the number of times a licensed user can authenticate their copy of the game within a day (based on hardware/software IDs).

It has nothing to do with OS compatibility. It can be recreated on windows machines by spoofing hardware IDs or even - god forbid - changing certain driver installs too many times.

It’s to stop pirates from using one a legit activation ‘key’ to provide the game to others. Which is funny because they’ve found a way to extract the denuvo ‘key’ from a demo and spoof full game denuvo access for other games.

Oh, definitely. The intended joke is out of 10 in decimal.

I think they’re saying that on a binary 1 to 10 scale, the range is only (decimal) 2, so a 10/10 for binary is a 2/2 in decimal (where you can only be a 1/2 or 2/2), which is still the highest value.

The $800m figure is only useful for figuring out how much Tesla was expecting to make out of it. When you factor in the development and manufacturing costs, they’re hemorrhaging money.

Hell yeah if I could get a free cybertruck I’d have lots of fun salvaging the motors, batteries, sensors, etc.!

Whisper posts shudders

The main frustration I had with Baldur’s Gate 3 while being busy is that I would have sessions where a glitch would silently compound over a couple hours of gameplay, and when the glitch finally manifests, I had to reload a very old save to fix it.

In my case, >!Shadowheart killed Laezel in camp, but Laezel was somehow still alive and in camp. Later, this causes problems where the game will acknowledge she’s dead, and then she will show up in a Githyanki Creche conversation, and then disappear again. So, she is effectively not part of our story but then also is a secret party member. !<

TIL back yards exist

The US has a history of using death/suffering as a “deterrent” for illegal border crossings. It doesn’t really work that way, though.

Excerpts from Immigration and Naturalization Service “Border Patrol Strategic Plan 1994 and Beyond”:

The Border Patrol will improve control of the border by implementing a strategy of “prevention through deterrence.” The Border Patrol will achieve the goals of its strategy by bringing a decisive number of enforcement resources to bear in each major entry corridor. The Border Patrol will increase the number of agents on the line and make effective use of technology, raising the risk of apprehension high enough to be an effective deterrent.

The prediction is that with traditional entry and smuggling routes disrupted, illegal traffic will be deterred, or forced over more hostile terrain, less suited for crossing and more suited for enforcement. Mobility of enforcement resources will be essential in tracking illegal traffic to prevent local “hot spots” from becoming long-term problem areas.

They targetted safer passageways and funneled migrants through the Sonoran Desert, which promptly led to increased migrant deaths but an unchanged quantity of crossing attempts. It’s not like the migrants can afford to turn around and go home.

It makes sense that the logical next step in the death-making company is to buy a death machine since it’s “cheaper” than processing inviduals and sending them home to their deaths.

It’s like the alternative universe version of black olives and pepperoni.

I hope it helps you to remember that the LLMs on a site like this are specifically designed to draw behavior from fictional works. That includes fictional works on existentialism and characters that have similar dilemmas.

It is not going through an existential crisis. It’s relaying responses that are probabilistically most relevant to the character’s identity and the presented scenario. Emotions are a lot more complex than that, as far as we know.

I saw the Polys at Hemingway House, they all look very normal in comparison to Stomp’s big feet.

Almost all of them were taking naps in plants and under benches

Alt+Tab goes to a random window instead of being in the order of recency

And big corportations will always pay good money, so long as it makes/saves them money in the future

Neat, I will be saving this and reading it when I’m less busy… maybe I’ll get back to you on it.

It’s not about the individual politicians at this stage. It’s about nurturing a certain sentiment until a really popular person comes along and sweeps up a majority. Source: I’m from the US.

I once brought up in a family dinner how incredible and strange water is, and how we don’t really think about it.

It appears naturally in all three phases, expands when frozen, has a high surface tension, has a high specific heat, and can behave as a mild base or acid. Oh, and all the living stuff has water in it.

Nobody really understood what I meant except my sister.

Kind of? Milkis has this nice yogurty tartness that I don’t think sparkling water and milk powder can give you

I wish asian bakeries understood that adding a bit of salt to the peanut cream makes it a whole lot better.

Instead they add more sugar
