"They don't build them like they used to anymore" applies to pretty much everything these days. +1 for the Downfall documentary on Netflix. Answers a lot of questions.

I often see reviews for a model that's similar but still different. Not being a seller, I'm guessing the exploit is around labelling a different model / product as a colour variation of the product they're trying to leec

I'm in that demographic. Started playing Q2 online in 97/98 before switching to Q3A in 99. Lately I've been playing Q2 Enhanced. What I miss the most is the OSP tourney mod.

Perhaps their decision was dictated by how easy it was to integrate with one vs the other (drivers, etc).

Yep, I do know about those, we have them here in Canada. Something tells they're much, much less popular than their caffeinated counterparts.

It's probably the caffeine in Coke that keeps you going back. By the way: the newly reformulated Pepsi Zero has a lot more of it.

I had that and found it to be less effective since it was so easy to disable it. I'm now using the iOS shortcut automation turning on the BW mode at 10pm and then disabling it at 5pm.

Oh, so exactly like in Canada. Good to know we’re not the only ones, I guess. I do think turning on the lights possibly serves a good thing: it’s a silent reminder that the cops are in the area, especially at night.

I've been a redditor for over 17 years. This sucks, even though you could see it coming.

Interesting idea, however the sign up process is confusing: - "Add to Slack" opens a Stripe page which says $49 is due today while the landing page claims there's a 30 day trial - "Get Sidekick now" opens a contact

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. I think once a company is past its garage phase (a group of engineers in a room + a pizza), think Amazon/Facebook/Microsoft, its velocity gets reduced drastically.

Banning an example of a perfectly engineered product seems wrong. Does it set an example that’s very hard to achieve? Perhaps. Should others strive to learn from it? I say yes.

Another way to look at ChatGPT is it being a smart RSS reader. It's the way it discards all the WordPress layout junk giving you just the meat in a text format. The biggest advantage Google currently has is their massive indexing abili

The way I see it: - Today's search engines will give you links to millions of documents - ChatGPT, if asked correctly, will instead generate one perfect document based on millions of the documents To me, that's a clear evolution o

There’s no one in the wings, at least as far as we can see. The reason? The russia’s oldest tradition where power is taken, not given. If, and it’s a huge if, there’s a change then I gotta think it’s going to be for the better, at least ini
