  • Lol I'd love to be a fly on the wall at one of my ex's therapy sessions as I know for sure she's incapable of telling the truth about just about anything. The fantasies she concocts are more amusing when you know everything.

    Also someone pointed out somewhere that the way the police operates in the UK, they would use this to gather evidence for other crimes (the pedo stuff) since they can now look through his home, etc.

  • Ah to be fair I haven't played Starfield or even watched too many videos. I also didn't like FO4 much so I was pretty much running with the assumption that they hadn't changed much since 2011

    Still, they may not need as many engine programmers if they reduce what their in-house engine needs to do. Could free up finances to hire more people to work on the meat and bones of the game. Or they could just pocket the difference and not give a fuck about making a good game, that seems quite likely too.

  • It's not entirely out of question that they'll use Unreal for graphics while retaining Gamebryo for gameplay. That's kinda how the Oblivion remaster works. And might be best of both worlds if they manage to make Unreal not suck in terms of performance and don't fall for the photorealism trap

  • I can't say yet if it's good or not because it's my first cast iron skillet and I've had it for a bit less than half a year, but so far I'm very happy with Maku and the price is good compared to some others I've seen on sale. Family-owned Finnish company based in Tampere, but also available here in Estonia. Don't know about their availability in other countries.

    From their "Sustainability" page:

    Maku products are manufactured in Europe, Finland and the Far East in factories that, if located in a high-risk country, are committed to the amfori BSCI Code of Conduct by signing the document or are audited by a third party. We use the amfori Country Risk Classification as our risk country classification.

    Edit: Now looking at it apparently it is enamelled cast iron.

  • I mean yeah exactly, the corporate ones are the bigger problem. This is just one guy. The corporate landlords are pricing even the private landlords out of the market, let alone first-time homebuyers.

    Blackstone's real estate divison in particular should be disbanded and its' assets sold at auction to private individuals ONLY. Everyone (not here, but in general) talks about Blackrock, a company that mostly focuses on providing ETFs and other financial instruments, while Blackstone is literally out there buying up America's single family homes and people barely talk about them.

  • Constant software updates is like one of the main features SAAB boasts on it lol

    These mainly aren't actually "engineer changes two lines of code" updates. These are actually more like internal database updates. Every time an F-35 or Gripen is flown, it generates data about itself and I believe also about the other planes it's up against. This gets synced to other F-35s (or Gripens) for their future missions.

  • In production since 2006 and of course they were designing the things earlier than that, so....

    Wouldn't be surprised if it's like some cars of the late 90's and early 00's and you need a computer with an RS-232 port to connect to a multiplexer of some sort that connects to the plane

    E.g to get full dealer level access to old Mercedes cars, you'd need one of these:

    And a laptop with RS-232 running Windows XP (can be on a VM)

  • Acer and Asus ordered to halt PC sales in Germany after Nokia wins HEVC patent ruling

    Jump

  • Pretty sure they just include it to get fewer returns ("My computer doesn't play videos!") and Acer and Asus here opted to do it without paying the license fee.

    Some manufacturers do include far more nefarious shit though. You're right there. I don't know who includes what these days, last Windows laptop I bought was a dv6-2000 series HP Pavilion. That was horrific before a clean install of Windows 7, and then slightly later, a clean install of Ubuntu 9.10, my first foray into Linux :)

    Now I wish I could put new internals in the ol' HP and it's probably possible with a tiny SBC, but I think I threw it away because it was half-molten anyway. Loved the "Espresso" design.

  • Yeah, the landlord here is nothing more but another wage slave looking for a way to be less dependent on his wage/salary when the mortgage of his rental property is finally paid off. A symptom of a larger issue, maybe an asshole, but probably just trying to provide for his own family like we all are. Doesn't sound like a millionaire.

  • Only do this after buying your own home then

    Or idk, probably just don't do it at all I guess. The landlord here is an asshole, but he's a symptom of a systemic issue, not the cause of it. He goes bankrupt and the house gets bought by the next opportunistic asshole who probably will charge the next tenant even more rent, especially if he doesn't get as good a deal on the mortgage (interests are up compared to 7-8 years ago after all). And you'll have a permanent mark on your record.

    Now of course if this was done by millions of tenants at once... That would really be something. Probably crash the housing market altogether, make houses affordable again

  • I'm not buying any, don't worry.

    But there's several countries involved in building them and they also have schematics. You'd think at least one would have raised alarms by now if there was truly a kill switch.

    The real real kill switch is ALIS access and parts availability. Those two things can ground the planes until a replacement system is developed and parts manufactured.

  • I read a book with a school whose students were all boys whose name started with the letter A. It was literally a requirement.

    I don't remember much but I do seem to recall they had a field trip to a "hole factory" so they got to take various holes as souvenirs.

  • That's managed funds, which are costly and don't tend to perform better than index funds in the long term (unless your fund is managed by Warren Buffett). Index funds will by definition take a huge fall because like 30% of the S&P 500 by market cap for an example is heavily AI-invested companies (just a couple of companies at that).

    I've moved all of mine to European and Asian indexes to be less affected when it happens, but since I was using a national pension system fund up till now, it'll take until like May or whatever till the move is complete. So I hope there's no crash before that at least. At least any new payments already go to the funds I've selected rather and can sell on a whim, rather than the old system where the bank chose the exact ETFs and I can only sell/move funds 3 times a year and have to apply for it beforehand.

    But anyone else who's still stuck in that system with a composite fund dominated by US-based index ETFs, will take a massive plunge when it happens.
