- She isn’t a confirmed Chinese State Actor Spy. For example with the money involved she could be an industrial honey pot spy, or a financial scammer that is going after a big whale with money backing her.
- He is worth over 220 Billion US. He could afford to make you or I his sexual plaything if he really wanted to. After a certain price they don’t see age or funny, its just success and money.
- When Jeff Bezos cheated on his wife and separated, she got the financial equivalent of 1/2 of everything. He made that back in a matter of months… like single digit months. However, unlike Jeff Bezos who built Amazon from the ground up and owns most of the company, Jensen Huang was hired on as NVidia’s CEO, so it is very unlikely that she will end up owning a big chunk of the “AI Economy”
- Comment on Happy wife hapy wallet 10 hours ago:
OK, when I heard that the potential Chinese Spy(she could have been an industrial spy for example) was now an affair that Jensen admitted to, I literally imagined this XKCD cartoon but the little piece was his dick and the top read “The Entire Global AI Circular Economy” but then that didn’t really fit the story so I didn’t edit it… this is much better but I still think it should say something about the circular economy NVidia made.
- Comment on Why Electronic Arts Shut Down BioWare 12 hours ago:
I get the definition from following the industry for over 40 years. When a trailer is not officially released to the public by the publisher or studio it is referred to in gaming and business press as an Internal Trailer, not created for internal use only.
- Comment on Why Electronic Arts Shut Down BioWare 1 week ago:
“Internal Trailer” means it hasn’t been officially released yet, not that it was for internal use. Like I said, project and BioWare were shutdown before its intended release.
- Comment on Why Electronic Arts Shut Down BioWare 1 week ago:
It was the trailer that they were going to release until the project was cancelled. You can tell by the disclaimers used on it.
- Comment on Why Electronic Arts Shut Down BioWare 1 week ago:
Jason Schreier is usually spot on but this time I am calling BS. EA was bought out by The Saudi Wealth Fund to continue its game-washing its reputation, and Jared Kushner’s firm, and several right leaning investors, and one of the first things they asked BioWare to do was remove a Pride Flag from a game for a franchise that is famously LGBTQ+ Friendly that does not expose that content unless you seek it out, and they refused. Then shortly before their game was to be announced and the teaser trailer which was finished was to be dropped, the game was cancelled and the studio closed.

BioWare was Canadian and was largely staffed by Canadians and was started by 3 doctors in Edmonton. If you are right they would have shut down Star Wars and kept BioWare.

Well then you don’t have much hope at all.

They look for any WiFi device you have, or your neighbours, HDMI connection(Those are 2 way connections BTW that can connect through devices that are plugged into your internet), or any other random laptop, phone, or neighbour’s device that it can connect with. Just unplugging them from the internet does nothing. They keep recording and as soon as you have to plug in again or another route is available, Boom goes the dynamite.

I think these people haven’t been aware of near-beer sales to kids going back over 60 years. Kids have been able to buy them here in Canada for longer than that, that is just the oldest person I have know to buy a 6pack of near-beer as a 5 year old kid.

French is gibberish now? This was taken in Canada, you can tell by the bilingual packaging.

Sorry about the late reply. The same places linked at the top of their website. Their Reddit is particularly active but only has occasional news about it. Image

Sorry for late reply. You can backup via addons, or you can use what I use, GameSave Manager ( www.gamesave-manager.com ) to do it.

I will still wait for the Linux Port of Playnite.Link . It is awesome on windows and is OSS, and they are finalizing a complete Linux rewrite as we are speaking so during the next release, Playnite 11, the Linux version should come out. Themeable, Extensible, and it has a good community.

Can someone check on Mr Sweeny. I’m Serious. I think he is showing cult like behavior for an industry that is due to implode any day now.
- Comment on David Lammy says Sikhs’ blade ‘privilege can be taken away’ after Henry Nowak death 5 months ago:
Certain Male Sikhs carry ceremonial religious daggers normally secured shut by cloth, and wear them because it is in their religion to use the daggers, which were historically larger and unsecured, to defend OTHER religions right to believe what they believed and to defend themselves when attacked by weapons. The dagger, known as a Kirpan( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirpan ) has become so ceremonial some are just a handle attached to a sheaf.
The Sikh who stabbed Henry Nowak was believed to be mentally unstable and was barred from his Sikh Temple because he, among other things carried a larger second dagger/Knife, which he had no right to carry, and was what he used to stab Henry Nowak.
- Comment on What exactly is a third party launcher? 5 months ago:
First Party title is the one who develops it. The Second Party is the Publisher/Distributor of the product. The First party can choose to Self Publish/Distribute, but that would make them still a First Party. The majority of professionally made games are Published or Distributed by third parties, often for partial or complete funding of the game while in development. The Third Party is the one who you typically buy a game from. But not only ones that you buy a game from. The other form of ‘parties’ comes from not the business side of things but from the consumer side. The deal is between you and who you buy the game from. That could be the developer but more typically is from a digital store like Steam, Epic, GOG, and so on. In that case Steam would be the First Party and you would be the Second Party and if you installed something like Playnite that would be a Third Party Launcher. Then further on you have the “Game Keys” route where the parties change again.
The whole thing is that the “First Party” and so on comes from contract law in businesses that bled into common usage especially with how common First, Second, Third Person was with video game characters point of view, although it is entirely different. Who is First or Third party is entirely based upon point of view and relativity which is why they actually spell out which is which and what they mean by it in the beginning of legal documents.
- Comment on Google now requires JavaScript 2 years ago:
It turns out it went multi-engine, probably to prevent getting cut off of Google’s Results. It probably mixes results from multiple engines like the old multi engine search engines in the old days of the internet.
- Comment on Google now requires JavaScript 2 years ago:
When they were purchased it was with the understanding that they would get no user data and that Startpage does not collect it, and it has the same CEO who started the company so I believe him.
- Comment on Google now requires JavaScript 2 years ago:
Yeah, I should have said “by default” because that is how most people will use it, but the power users will use other engines.

Difference between the manufacturer and some seller making a sign. If the Manufacturer is calling them “Mini-Fridge” on the packaging they are asking for a lawsuit

AFAIK Startpage gives you google results with your privacy intact and less ads.

Uses Bing results.

Post Apocalyptic Fantasy and Post Apocalyptical High Fantasy are two phrases I keep seeing.
- Comment on America Must Free Itself from the Tyranny of the Penny 2 years ago:
Well except that if you are doing it with cards you have to worry about being skimmed. Here in Canada they have chip and pin but guess who gets stung with purchases 4 out of 5 times when it happens because it doesn’t ask for the pin all the time.
Now if you do it through a smartwatch, phone, or some other device that can’t be skimmed when it isn’t being used, then that is the way to do it.
- Comment on America Must Free Itself from the Tyranny of the Penny 2 years ago:
There are loose plans to do that here in Canada long before that, but nothing solid right now. My guess is they are going to have to move from rounding to the nickel to rounding to the dime and pricing and taxes will have to follow. From when I was a kid a penny and a nickel are worth 1/5th of what they were in purchasing power.
