They sent the version with a child only to valve

That’s from a power brick that came with attachments for different regions.
I’ve handled normal plugs as well and they tend to orient themselves prongs up too.

Yeah, I think brits and other europeans can generally agree on american plugs

If you look at wealth distribution, it becomes very obvious that the top can always pay more.
- Comment on Why civilians don't crowdfund bribe money for politicians? 1 week ago:
Would anyone accept the money if the purpose was so obviously to expose corruption?

- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 2 weeks ago:
This post reminded of this Wikipedia article someone shared here a bit ago. If you don’t pay attention, everything becomes the same.

Just birds chirping, wind blowing, leaves rustling
To me that sounds kinda nice instead of unpleasant
- Comment on Square Enix, Bandai, and other Japanese studios demand OpenAI stop using their content without permission, drop a not-too-subtle hint about legal trouble if it doesn't 3 weeks ago:
Well derailed, succesfully avoided going anywhere near the actual argument.
I’m sure the manufacturers would’ve been in more legal trouble if they shipped VCRs packed with pirated content.
VCRs do not contain such copyrighted material.
- Comment on For those of you who enjoy open-world games, how big of a world is too big? 3 weeks ago:
Measuring size alone is meaningless, as gameplay affects perceived size, and density of meaningful content in relation affects the experience.
Size should match content.
Skyrim is canonically pretty close to the size and shape of Estonia, but in game it’s very small. If the game’s content was spread out to the “real” size, it would feel completely barren.
The map in Deus Ex MD was quite small, but it punched way above its size, because it was so dense in detail.

Mate, what?
It is the end user who receives the broadcast and feeds it into the VCR, is it not?

do we say the maker of the VCR/DVD burner/computer is at fault
There’s one difference you ignored: to copy a video with a VCR, the user needs to supply the copyrighted material. I’m sure the manufacturers would’ve been in more legal trouble if they shipped VCRs packed with pirated content.
- Comment on Why do each gaming fraction (pc, consoles, mobile) hating each other? 3 weeks ago:
Consoles have been brand tribalistic since forever, probably because of marketing, and that the people used to be mostly kids. Insufferable computer users felt superior because you could get a PC that runs games way better than any of the consoles.
Most of the fighting has ended now, which is nice. Mobile gaming was and is looked down because of its reputation as a shovelware platform.

Shit
- Comment on [AI] What time is it again? 3 weeks ago:
Indeed! That remark was more of a joke than a call to remove this post
- Comment on [AI] What time is it again? 3 weeks ago:
It involves some randomization. It could be that they got this nonsense the first time, or attempted as many times as the response says “minute”.

- Comment on US tech firm Nvidia invests $1bn in Nokia, with sights on next-gen networks for AI 3 weeks ago:
I’m talking sbout before that. Management didn’t understand what they were doing and pushed hair brained ideas like having to hold the phone sideways against your ear.
- Comment on US tech firm Nvidia invests $1bn in Nokia, with sights on next-gen networks for AI 3 weeks ago:
Afaik the network and handset halves were almost like separate companies, one being better managed than the other.

I don’t know enough to ssy anything concrete, but it’s for sure going to be abstractions on top of abstractions.
