  How does this even work? It’s like they don’t realise they don’t own the car once it’s been sold. What’s to stop someone just hacking it and unlocking it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My new laptop chip has an 'AI' processor in it, and it's a complete waste of space⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I expect we’re eventually going to start seeing AI in more sensible places and these NPUs will prove useful. Hopefully soon the bubble will burst and we’ll stop seeing it crammed in everywhere, then it’ll start being used where it actually improves a product rather than wherever an LLM will fit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's the dream⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I never have dressing on my salad, I think a lot of people don’t. Salads are healthy, dressings are not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikipedia loses challenge against Online Safety Act verification rules⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank God we’ve got the government here to protect us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vibe check!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the easiest types of internet videos to make that are not slop?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Reaction videos I guess, but a lot of people are doing that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The end of the road? What The Salt Path scandal means for the nature memoir⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The couple claimed that their house got repossessed by the bank and that’s what inspired them to do this big walk that the book’s about. Turns out that when the author was unemployed a friend helped her out by getting her a job at the company run by her husband. The author then went on to steal loads of money over the next few years and nearly drive the company bankrupt; causing loads of grief for the company’s owners and causing lots of mental problems like depression, etc. The author eventually got busted and had to agree to a payment plan which they didn’t keep up with, and that was the point their house got repossessed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 381 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I liked this game but the combat really killed it for me. The enemies just move too quickly and in a game about conserving ammo it was way too hard to reliably hit them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fiber⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This sounds amazing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Killing Games' proposals would make online-only games "prohibitively expensive to create", argue EU lobby group⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Aren’t they only being asked to open source the servers at the end of a a game’s life?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨11 Bit confirm that they used generative AI for The Alters "in a very limited manner"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t really care that much. I’m quite happy for AI to be used to create more content in my games wherever it’s appropriate. If a company can use AI to create all the mundane background content that nobody really wants to make then who cares? It doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re going to fire people, it might just be the same people making more content.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are not the same⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Who’s ask Grok?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mario Kart World Faces Massive Backlash After Update, Online Racing Experience Ruined⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not even clear what changed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The end of Stop Killing Games [Accursed Farms]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I get the sentiment but there’s probably bigger things that we should be campaigning for than saving NFS: The Crew.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a good thing they don't actually think lol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Are we anywhere near being able to run this in a car? I want to hooky it up to loads of stuff in my car and have a computer control it like Star Trek.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll probably keep using it and see what happens. To be honest I’ll just go where the content is, and if the new people fuck it up it’ll likely go elsewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Telegraph has deleted the seemingly made-up article⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually know a couple of teachers at private schools and they say the people being hit hardest aren’t the rich twats but the families who scrimp and save just enough to try and give their kids the best opportunities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Durability of children⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My daughter’s #2. She’s also trying to do ballet in a pink dress right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grieve with me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried this and had limited success. Then I just got a wireless charger and it’s fine now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix puts AI ads in paid tier: pirate EVERYTHING at this point... 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ 14:55⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like how they say that viewers pay as much attention to the adverts as they do to the content.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨89 million Steam account details just got leaked, so now's a good time to change your password⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  89 million accounts with creds don’t get sold for $5,000. It’s probably just email addresses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not against some political stuff but there’s so much circlejerk opinion pieces that get posted. It’s just a bunch of people posting stuff that confirms their own beliefs, which is not better than what happens on the likes of Xitter. It’s just a different kind of echo chamber but people are okay with it because it’s left rather than right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 297 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t want to say this but I can’t help myself.

  It’s addictive, not addicting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half-Life 3 is reportedly playable in its entirety and could be announced this year⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the source code leak. The leaked announcement came from the magazine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half-Life 3 is reportedly playable in its entirety and could be announced this year⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s hard not to get excited remembering how we found out about Half-Life 2. It was announced in a magazine that some random guy accidentally got sent a copy of early, then he scanned the pages and leaked it online. I think I was browsing some dodgy Russian website when I found out about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rian Johnson Says ‘I Don’t’ Agree With Netflix CEO Over Movie Theater Model Being ‘Outdated’: I Want ‘Knives Out 3’ in ‘Many Theaters For as Long as Possible’⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Films used to be such a big deal, now I just watch a brand new one every night. Pre-internet is just end up watching the same films over and over just because I had a copy. Going to the cinema to watch a new one was exciting but now I don’t care.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 289 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is everyone posting about Oblivion simply new to it? Seems weird to me that everyone’s so excited about it but it’s probably just because I played it to death the last time it came round.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is excited about money!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think we’re moaning over nothing again here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo confirms $90 price for full Breath of the Wild experience on Switch 2⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not as against this as everyone else. If you want a AAA game without microtransactions, in-game advertising, and all the other byllshit you get nowadays you’re gonna have to expect the company will want to make that money up in other places. Games have been like £50/$60 since I was a kid and we’ve been lucky that the prices haven’t risen with inflation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine if you could go on the Nintendo store and buy a game you couldn’t even run, or had to check a third party website to see if it ran acceptably and let you use all the buttons.
