I don't think this is true. Look at the number of people buying Modafinil off Indian websites.

I'm in favour of doing away with patents entirely. Or maybe make them 3 years and not 20.

Feel free to criticize Apple, but if you're going to get into cheap fanboy wars, reddit is right over there -->

Sure. Some ideas:

Prices will go up. They will split out basic features into 'premium' models. They will no longer sell cheaper models entirely. They will find some way to shoehorn a subscription service since that's what every investor wants now. RPI Os will be littered with 'partnerships' and they'll find a way to make it difficult or unpleasant to use anything else to avoid them. They'll rush to do yearly releases instead of focusing on quality and support. I wouldn't be surprised if they break their guarantee to keep manufacturing products until a certain date.

I've been wanting to change to a programming career for a long time, but AI taking all the jobs does worry me.

But also... what else could I pivot to instead that doesn't also have the same problem?

That's such a a shame. It was a cool product with a decent community around it. Now the enshittification begins and they'll be squeezing for every pound they can get. RIP Raspberry Pi.

The fact that I can still purchase "Full self driving" in a few taps for 10,000$ is especially insane considering it probably won't be out in Australia for many years.

I'd happily get Enhanced Autopilot if it was a subscription, but at 5000$ it's a joke.

For real. I want more companies like Valve. Not publicly traded, not trying to squeeze every last dollar for the sake of it, just doing what they think is cool when they want to do it.

Yeah, SM64 is weird because a lot of '3d' objects used billboarding, it was actually just a flat object always facing the camera, so they don't scale up well. Anything spherical (chain chomp for example).

The characters in Mario Kart 64 were like that too, they just prerendered a heap of different angles and inserted the appropriate one.

With recompilation we could change those things, but I'm not sure how much work it would be and how many people who care to play those games would want to alter them that much.

Early 3d games will always have those rough edges sadly.

My god, the MTV Movie Awards Reloaded. My friends and I were obsessed with this when it came out. They included this on the DVD of the movie too. I remember going to someone's house and we were going to watch it for the millionth time but then we figured out we had the VHS of the movie which didn't have it. Great parody. Holds up better than the film.

I still like The Matrix Reloaded, despite its flaws and unpopularity. Revolutions is pretty hard to defend. Resurrections is genuinely one of the five or ten worst movies I have ever seen in my life and I can only assume it was bad on purpose.

If it was me I would have just assumed Google had sunsetted Google Cloud like all the rest.

OK

I've noticed this too but I just use the word 'okay' anyway. I mean, I'm not saying 'ock', I'm saying 'oh kay', so why shouldn't the spelling reflect that?

So sad to see 10 seemingly mentally healthy people commit suicide, RIP

My Model 3 already charges at 180kw. Are they saying cars built with these batteries will charge at 1.8Mw? How are they going to build charging infrastructure at that level?

This is precisely how my thought process went back when I used to use drugs heavily.

I remember a teacher telling me drugs make hair grow out of your teeth. I figured if drugs were really that bad they wouldn't need to lie about what they do.

I do think the obsession with naming everything in a series words beginning with 're' is a little unnecessary.

...Have you used Google recently?

Tiktok will actively tell you "all new posts viewed" on your following page, but it's a blatant lie, there will absolutely be videos posted by people I'm following it hasn't shown me. And it's definitely not just "maybe you saw it but skipped past it".

I'm starting to view social media more and more negatively over time. Maybe I'm just getting old. Maybe getting old is good?

Thought it was Scotland from the title

Sadly it was made illegal in our area and our neighbour actually reported us. One day they were actively bringing in bus loads of foreign tourists to feed the birds, the next they're knocking on our doors telling us to stop or get a fine.

Further evidence we should build a Futurama-style series of tubes in cities for delivering items. I'm not joking. Might need extra packaging to pin the pizza down to survive the forces however. Maybe stack the slices and wrap them or something.

Well if it worked for Valve it'll obviously work for a pharmaceutical company!

Cosmic rays: interfering with Mario 64 speedruns since 38,976 BC

"Dave, hurry up. It's my turn with the electron. I want to watch Love Island."

That's not true, it's obviously relevant to the article, plus, if it gets mentioned enough it's more likely to get support.

I'd love to see an /r/TheyDidTheMath on the energy required to CT scan the entire Earth all the way thru. I assume you'd have to vaporize the planet.

Why did ChatGPT say that's fascinating? I thought it was a large language model that had no feelings or opinions.

Poor destitute Apple, they have to keep the iPhone a walled garden to feed their families. They don't have anywhere near enough money already. The executives are surviving on cabbage soup. Tim Cook will literally have to eat cardboard for dinner if they don't make another hundred billion dollars next year.
