I was watching a friend stream a dead game lately. That game was developed before generating images became widespread, and sunset as that "art form" started really taking off (game-as-a-service... probably partly…
Exactly this. "All this progress and they're back to miscounted fingers again?!"
I think it was an ad for Retrospect in an early 90s magazine that said "There are two categories of people: those who have lost files, and those who are going to."
This is reminiscent of the reasons why Technics (Panasonic) could and would not just do a reissue of the Technics 1200 turntable. In the mid 2010s after some lobbying, they eventually invested into new tooling to build…
"Why so many brands change their logos and look like everybody else". In the past year(s) I have noticed a few icons in my Android phone turning into the same thing. For a long time there was Uber, white on black. And…
Hey, just what you see, pal.
Anecdata: Every time over the years that my parents (now in their 70s) have purchased a new mac, software updates only ever happen if I run them. I don't visit all the time. They run outdated versions of everything…

Dammit. I got an IdeaPad of similar price in december 2024. It didn't have one of the fancier displays from the era but still a decent option, it has 16Gb and I thought I'd try a Ryzen mobile thing that time. Wish I'd…
Heh, haven't heard of this but as a frenchie who sometimes hears swedes over the internet, I find that the permanent snus makes it sound like the person can't stop keeping some gum in their mouth, refilling mid-sentence…
Looked at the headline, no prior knowledge of this. "New Mozilla product, okay. Must be... something AI?" click "Ah, of course it is."
In an interesting twist of fate, one of the master copyists featured prominently in the Scener section of that site has come back in the last few years to win graphics competitions again with both - directly ripping…
Well that's a pompous headline from the author's PR dept. "Europe" as in, "The European Union", or just some marketing trick based on making you believe it is to give it more weight? I'm european and can still easily…
It doesn't. I "worked around" that by setting a 5 minute daily timer for youtube on my phone - just enough to mark a few regular videos as "Watch Later". Gives me an incentive to scroll past the shorts.
Funnily enough, from one engine with runtime portal culling to another :)
I have this on my backlog of Jams to go through, but peeked ahead hoping to see Alekswithak in there, and indeed, it's him. He's already scored a few great SP mods : Alkaline, Dwell, Dwell 2 - which should also be…

Pioneer DJ, I mean AlphaTheta, probably don't even know MusicBrainz exists. They're too busy selling subscriptions for RekordBox. And they do nothing to help you with the metadata on your files, besides filtering in…
Most of the CDs we burned at home in the 1998-2005 era were still good in recent years, some DVDs in there too. Luck, I guess. No delamination or rot. Really, my main problems were figuring out file types without…

Someone in a past thread here mentioned how they enjoyed the help of LLMs to generate all their PR marketing nonsense blurbs, because they looked just as good as the real thing. It might have been 2-3 years ago but I…
Might be a Monty Python joke, as in "fetchez la vache!"
