  AC replacements typically run 15-20K for a decent system, install and all. At least last time I had to check.

  And once you’re done telling everyone a tomato is a fruit, the rest of us still aren’t going to put it in a fruit salad.

  Don’t be pedantic, you know what they meant.

  That’s a bad analogy. I just asked 4 of my friends (25-65) if they knew who the Beatles were. Everyone said yes. Then I asked if they knew VU, everyone (including myself) had no clue who that was.

  This isn’t going to be as big as you think it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Recent game music almost sounds too cookie cutter. It’s like movie music. It’s just… there. It used to be you could remember not just main themes but ancillary ones too and you can thank John Williams and Nobou Uematsu for that, but seriously how many recent games or movies have iconic standout soundtracks?

  Honestly they could have released single player DLC for V and made a load of money without having to even develop VI

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The correct way⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You just gave me a good way of looking at it. The stripes on the right side is the “right” way up. Now I’ll always remember which way it goes.

  From those two numbers I think you need to work on your comedy routine. It was a bit…. curdled

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientific unprogress...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And it’s immediately consumed usually, or is frozen and its composition differs from cows milk and is designed for human consumption.

  Don’t know why you brought that up, unless it’s to point out how stupid people are thinking unpasteurized cows milk is drinkable because human milk doesn’t need to be.

  I genuinely don’t understand what you have trouble with that you had to fight with. Usually I’ve found it comes down to just not knowing how to do it, or doing something completely out of left field. Honestly Windows “just works”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection Release Date Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved playing the first game when I was younger. It was like a more exploration based Sonic game. You had some fast parts and then others where you tried to find hidden areas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  can’t cheat, can’t abuse you

  That is a dangerous assumption. The ones controlling the models can definitely manipulate a person through some minor tweaks which would definitely count as abuse. And it’s it more polygamous since they’re probably all using the same model? Not like each one has their own unique model

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s getting harder to skirt RTO policies without employers noticing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  All it will ultimately do is create a talent split. Companies willing to embrace WFH will be able to snap up talent and companies forcing RTO will start to flounder over time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Buyer Beware: Some 4K discs and streaming versions of cult classics have soundtrack changes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is also an issue with a lot of games too. Especially racing games. You can’t get a re-release or updated to play on a new console because certain car manufacturers wont relicense or want crazy amounts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows User Account Control Bypassed Using Character Editor to Escalate Privileges⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh, I kinda see that point. I never considered it a boundary anyway since it didn’t require any additional authentication or authorization. It always felt more like a “here be dragons” warning for people who may not know what their doing, but if you think about it your user context never changes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Charging to tour rental properties...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  wants to use the property as collateral for the loan

  Nothing major honestly. If they default, they would lose their stake in the claim. Since they don’t own the entire house, the bank couldn’t foreclose but they could assume ownership of their portion of the loan. The bank would view it more like a financial instrument rather than a real property.

  It’s the same thing with Stack Overflow. Usage in dropping because devs are relying on AI…. that got its information from SO. What’s gonna happen when you start running into new problems?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zuckerberg says people without AI glasses will be at a disadvantage in the future⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I did mention one possible use and people freaked out. Imagine an AR overlay where you’re at a gala or business function and you can pull up people’s names or LI profile to better know them when chatting. Or say at a sportsball game where it could give you stats of the people on the field as they’re playing (sports nerds love that sort of shit). There are many uses for AR but I don’t think this meta approach is even close to correct.
