Which is funny because there’s a Velvet Taco (food) chain in Texas
- Comment on Why do so many piece of Hardware come with windows only software requiring admin right for installation 1 week ago:
Even if it didn’t, you can bet your IT department would have a GPO or policy preventing its installation. Why do you think that you can bring and hook up a piece of unapproved hardware that may do more than what it says without the company (who owns the device) vets it?

Oof. I feel this. Or when a position has been posted on LinkedIn for only 2-3 hours and already has over 100 applications.

Teach a brother how? I swear I couldn’t find it anywhere in the account settings.
- Comment on You can now use authenticator apps to keep your GOG account secure! 1 week ago:
So effectively, they don’t do what GOG is doing.
- Comment on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — 10th Anniversary Trailer 1 week ago:
I really had trouble getting in to that game. May try it again but it seemed a bit too… generic?
- Comment on Any fans of the source material? 1 week ago:
Fair enough
- Comment on You can now use authenticator apps to keep your GOG account secure! 1 week ago:
Unless I’m missing something, Steam only does code to email 2FA, not an actual TOTP app
- Comment on Any fans of the source material? 1 week ago:
I frequent ani.social quite often too. I’ve watched too many shows I stopped counting and guess what…. I prefer dubs gasp! So they’re not for children. It’s just a matter of preference and I love how the localizations are getting better rather than just rote translation (more gasps!)

There’s a dub for it if you don’t like reading subs.
- Comment on You can now use authenticator apps to keep your GOG account secure! 1 week ago:
Now when will Steam do this?
- Comment on AI hallucinations are getting worse – and they're here to stay 2 weeks ago:
To vintage’s point. The way I view it is there is no chance for AGI via the current method of hopped up LLM/ML but that doesn’t mean we won’t uncover a method in the future. Bio-engineering with an attempt to recreate a neural network for example, or extraction of neurons via stem cells with some sort of electrical interface. My initial point was that it’s way off, not that it’s impossible. One day someone will go “well, that’s interesting” and we’ll have a whole new paradigm
- Comment on AI hallucinations are getting worse – and they're here to stay 2 weeks ago:
This is why AGI is way off and any publicly trained models will ultimately fail. Where you’ll see AI actually be useful will be tightly controlled, in house or privately developed models. But they’re gonna be expensive and highly specialized as a result.

Everyone remember how janky and ugly the OG XBox was? The controller that was too big for anyone but Andre the Giant?
- Comment on Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding 3 weeks ago:
Probably not that many since I carefully curate my list and generally only listen to local artists or international that I’m familiar with.
- Comment on Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding 3 weeks ago:
This is one service I pay for and never had had to worry about ads. I can skip around, download and work it just like my offline music with no differences
- Comment on ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ Gets 4K Remaster and New Logo for 50th Anniversary (EXCLUSIVE) 4 weeks ago:
What? It’s the 50th anniversary present of a cult classic. What in the world does that have to do with Minecraft?
- Comment on What's an example of a TV show that came out at before its time, or just at a bad time? 4 weeks ago:
Westworld. It was on track to wrap up and then Discovery got ahold of way too many series with a hatchet.
- Comment on What's an example of a TV show that came out at before its time, or just at a bad time? 4 weeks ago:
I think it was also due to a writers strike too. I loved that series
- Comment on World’s First ‘Splashless’ Urinal keeps the Floor Clean and your Pants Pee-free - Yanko Design 4 weeks ago:
Spread your hole a little bit before letting it rip. It’s because it’s blocked either because you’ve been sweaty, you nasty or you jacked off and it dried on the tip.
- Comment on Well played, Todd: You can see Skyrim, or at least its tallest mountain, from the edge of Oblivion Remastered 4 weeks ago:
So I know nothing about the games but each are set in the same world and right next to each other? Do they take place in the same timeframe?
Reminds me a bit of RDR1 and RDR2
- Comment on 4chan has been offline for over a week, and it's probably not coming back 5 weeks ago:
It was a good container of those people. Now that it’s been shattered, the incels, misogynists, and others will scatter to the four winds and on to other sites…. like Lemmy.
- Comment on Morpheus Actor Laurence Fishburne Reveals He Was Turned Down for The Matrix Resurrections — So He Might Not Be Back for Matrix 5 Either - IGN 5 weeks ago:
To me, it suffered the same issue that all reboots have (Jurassic World, Rise of Skywalkwer, etc.). They don’t attempt a new plot and instead try to rehash the original plot but “bigger”, this makes it boring really quick as you know what’s going on, so instead they rely on nostalgia bait or jump tactics to try to keep you engaged.

- Comment on Star Wars original cut to be screened this summer in London 1 month ago:
This explains it well. Think of it as the “Rogue One” treatment. You know it’s the originals, contains the original story, just looks amazingly crisp and modern. And he did an amazing job with the color correction.
- Comment on Star Wars original cut to be screened this summer in London 1 month ago:
I honestly prefer the Despecialized Editions. Though I’m glad both exist as a way to try to restore our past.

- Comment on What kind of CAPTCHA is this? 1 month ago:
Yea good thing you didn’t. MSHTA is the app that lets you run Microsoft HTML Apps (usually used for their help articles). Those can contain JavaScript or VBScript code. And since you’re pasting it in a Run box it’ll happily execute it, even if it’s a remote source.
Generally it would only run as your user (you’re not admin are you?), which would still be enough to make your life miserable, but it could also try to run known exploits and raise itself to admin and own your whole computer.
