Yeah, my understanding is that these capchas were made to harvest data to use for AI/Autopilot driven cars. That’s why they are always having you identify motorcycles, bycicles, crosswalks, stoplights, busses, etc. It’s all stuff that automatic driving cars have had a hard time identifying.
Star Wars is 100% a Space Fantasy. A boy goes on an adventure accompanied by a wizard to save a princess and become a knight.
No, they should be required to pay taxes equivelant to what they subtracted when they removed a tax-paying worker. All of those taxes should go towards UBI.
Wtf is that image?
Pornography was doing a fine job of that. Naked deep fakes of actual people who are actual minors should not be desensitized.
Wife and I bought an apartment in April 2018, great deal, great rates.
The we had a kid in 2023.
We have a second coming in 2025
We need to buy a house, and have no idea how the fuck we are going to make it happen. We’re not even that bad off, we both do pretty damn well, but we are about to be facing $4k/month in childcare, and even with the huge pile of down payment money we have saved, we wouldn’t be able to afford the mortgage.
We still own our apartment though, which is better than renting. I keep telling myself “We will figure it out, people have done more with less”, but man… If this was like 5 or 6 years ago we would have been living large.
I always look at things like these and are tempted to buy them. There is so much cool audio gear out there that I feel like could “up my game”, but then I realize I have no game and already own a bunch of fun production gear that collects dust because I don’t have the time or energy to make music anymore.
I considered selling some of my stuff, but want to hang on to it just in case any of my kids pick up the hobby and all my stuff is cool and “retro” at that point. Shit it is almost already cool and retro - Akai MPC1000, Korg Electribe SX ESX1, Korg KP3, Dsi MoPho, a couple other bits and bobs.
But yeah, always tempted to buy cool new awesome shit that I would never use.
Honestly wouldn’t even be that difficult to build. Windows is just a GUI for Powershell anyway.
Is there a simple way to find out if your Information was in this leak, and what information it is? I use haveibeenpwned for leaks linked to my email address, but from I read in this article, it’s not linked to my email address.
So how do I found out if my data was leaked without paying for a credit monitoring service?
Yup. As much as I hate the GOP and Trump, this is a pretty big Occam’s razor moment.
I’m in my late 30’s in the NYC area. What my wife and I consider a “vacation” is going to Philly and staying in a hotel with a pool, and just putzing around a different city for the weekend.
The idea of taking a week+ off from work and flying somewhere is a foreign concept to me.
There have been a couple of times that we have gone to states far away to stay with family/friends, but it’s usually for like a long weekend.
Yeah that one was weird. Like the dude was always singing about being horrifically depressed, and then when he hung himself it was like surprised Pikachu face
Also in the context of working, this isn’t just computers. It’s tools in general, and a computer is a type of tool. Problems with your saw? Problems with your batteries? Problems with access to electricity and your extension cords not being long enough? Problem with losing your 10mm sockets? If you’re a trucker or driver the problem could be your vehicle. Etc etc etc.
This article is stupid. Tools break, they always have and always will. The tools we have now are better than they have ever been. They will probably keep getting more and more efficient, but they will still break. Because tools break.
Sausage Link and the Meat Patties
The worst part is that Windows can do that, but Microsoft insists on enshittifying it. Like Windows 11 isn’t that terrible if it wasn’t for all of the data collection and advertisements and other shit.
I miss the Windows 7 days where you could download a stripped down ISO that was just the OS. It launched your programs of choice and didn’t suck up your battery running unnecessary junk.
In my teenage years and early 20s I pirated everything because I was broke. I could squirrel away enough money to build a low grade gaming computer and the benefit to me was “I don’t have to pay for games because I can pirate them”. That or I survived on Demo CDs that came with magazines I got at the book store (and later on I think it was demoplanet.com?). If it wasn’t for these resources, I probably never would have gotten into PC gaming.
Now that I have expendable income, I buy games that I want to play.
I would never have been a customer if I wasn’t originally a pirate. It’s the circle of life.
Also I just went and bought this game because I have money to support shit like this and I’m all about supporting developers who understand.
Plain NY slice from the window on the counter. Something about that 2nd heat up really brings the crisp out.
Not me but a buddy of mine was a “Cheese Monger”. I always found that one pretty funny.
Also when I was in high school, I was going through a book of prefessions in “Careers” class and I found “Chick Sexer”. Heh… Heheh… Chick Sexer.
The spooky orange filling Oreo Cookies. They just hit different.
I prefer the term “Keister stash”
