It's worse than that, they want it dead. Presumably because it competes with (and is better than?) the streaming service. IIRC, Redbox offered to buy it. No interest.

I've run into that, many times. Would be nice to have a fix.

It doesn't work, either.

I tried to add more clothing, both with the prompt, and with the clothing tab. Got the same tiny costume each time. Trying to generate D&D character, got chippendale.

Anyone have historical data? If this is not what they paid last year and before, it's clearly offshoring. If, as some speculate, it's just part of the comp and equity is. The other, then it would have been the same last year.

First thing I do on a new mac is change the settings to save screenshots to ~/Desktop/Screenshots. Takes ten seconds and pays off for the rest of the time you use that Mac. cmd-shit-5, then options. More details: https:/&#x2

So it was workers wearing the bracelet that caused the problem, not end customers?

My car will not start in gear, nor will it start without a foot on the brake. Understanding and preventing human error is a basic part of design. Especially for things that cost $3B.

Don't buy retail, buy wholesale, unless you are buying a small amount.

Aren't the captchas done by google, and they provide tracking information? Kind of defeats the purpose of anonymity when the first thing you hit is a tracker.

Recall that Roman numerals are also used for movie sequels. This clearly isn't about concealing the age.

I find that the more complicated the prompt, the less detail I see in people. With simple prompts I get photorealistic, but with complicated I get animation quality. Not sure if this is just my prompts or something general.

Shop classes (and "Home Ec") vanished decades before computer classes showed up. At least in my part of the US.

My stepmother tells she has been getting this type of scam, minus the accurate voice, for years. About one a year. I'm not sure she would have spotted the scam if it had sounded right.

TLDR; there's one company left selling ( and reselling floppies). And, yes, if you have old floppies in good condition you can donate them.

Left and right are backwards on a phone. I'm sure I'd adapt after a few more games, but it's annoying.

I've seen Bluetooth speakers that registered as a keyboard, allowing similar attacks. I returned them.

Interesting. I asked it to write an essay on a subject I'm interested in, and an authority on. The essay, without citation, quoted whole sentences from both me, and wikipedia, verbatim. This seems like a bad thing. Certainly you can&#x
