I had a friend whose dad had a little FIAT. He said it stood for Fix It Again Tony, which is obviously a stereotypical slur but also his mechanic was named Tony so it was technically the truth.
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 1 day ago:
Yeah, pause and skip should be separate things. I have some games pm PC where the ESC key pauses and brings up the menu but to skip the scene you have to be watching it and then hold some specific button like mouse 1 for a couple of seconds to skip. Those are my favorites because I have time to reconsider skipping!

I have played a lot of games where pausing the game to get to game menus pauses cutscenes, generally ones where they use in game assets to do the cut scene. I would have to check to confirm, but I think BG3 let you pause by going to the menu and there was also a separate option to skip the cuts scene.
Definitely played a lot with unskippable cut scenes too. Mostly avoid those games now.

Those two features frequently make me nauseous! Being able to turn them off or at least down is a necessity for me.

The ability to pause should be a requirement for single player games. Not being able to pause long cut scenes, combats, etc. is so frustrating when nobody else is impacted.
Any game completely opposed to pausing for whatever design reason should instead be required to have a minimum of 30 seconds between pauses to allow for interruptions while playing without it allowing for rapid pauses to impact game play. 30 seconds minimum is because of how many interruptions are immediately followed by another interruption by kids/spouses/parents/pets.

- Comment on My Car Is Becoming a Brick: EVs are poised to age like smartphones. 2 days ago:
Cars in general have rigorous software testing that means the last update will run fine indefinitely, and most of the updates only change nice to have features, not core operations like the engine and drive train.
EVs are pushing the envelope by having some software updates that directly change how the battery and drive train work. Tesla is the one I hear going completely in on subpar testing for updates to critical components. I don't know if other manufacturers are doing nearly as much as Tesla is, so it might even be a Tesla problem more than an EV problem at this point, but as time goes on others will become more bold with increasing numbers of updates and lazier testing because it worked out for Tesla's market share.
An EV that doesn't have constant software updates can easily exist, and they should work fine until the frame falls apart. I think a portion of the EV market falls into that category, but don't really know for certain.

The massive corporate AI (LLMs for the most part) are driving up electricity and water usage, negatively impacting communities. They are creating a stock market bubble that will eventually burst. They are sucking up all the hardware, from GPUs to memory, to hard drives and SSDs.
On top of all of that they are in such a rush to expand that a lot of them are installing fossil fuel power on top of running the local grid ragged so they pollute, drive up costs, and all for a 45% average rate of incorrect results.
There are a lot of ethical problems too, but those are the direct negatives to tons of people.

Other major advantages are the form factor and standardized design making it smaller and most likely more reliable than a comparable PC.

- Comment on When you wake up, how long does it take for your brain's "OS" to "resume from hibernation"? 1 week ago:
On most days it isn't really going until 9 a.m. no matter what time I haul my ass out of bed. On vacation that is when I wake up if allowed to sleep in.
The one thing I look forward to from a possible retirement is sleeping on my natural sleep cycle.

The last time I went to a bar with a jukebox many years ago a friend put in enough to play music for the two hours we planned to be there and the bartender kept overriding it with their crap. The friend didn't even pick troll songs or anything.
We only stayed 30 mins.
