At no point in that email does Google say you have to add age verification. They are saying you might need to age-gate certain things if you want to comply with the law and they are rolling out a feature that allows you to age-gate things without having to do the verification yourself.
If your religion requires premarital sex, you can argue that. Freedom of religion and freedom from religion are not the same thing.
I’m seeing some applications for it as an easy-to-implement context-aware OCR scanner for things that have consistent content in wildly inconsistent formats. Think lists of open invoices from suppliers in a thousand different for-printing layouts, plus some just being screenahots from their systems. The AI system can process those and output a consistent list, which can then be matched against a database the old-fashioned way.
That’s the only practical use I’ve found.
Starbucks controls their supply chain. If they wanted to, they could have their manufacturers put RFID tags on sleeves of cups, bottles, etc and automate inventory with perfect accuracy. Instead, they spent way more money on an AI solution, then had to abandon it because it doesn’t work.
You should either include something to wear it to or indicate that future gifts may go that direction. Dressing up to go to a show, symphony, etc can be a lot of fun and that resolves the “but I have nowhere to wear it” objection she would likely have.
Veritasium is awful. So much misinformation, holier-than-though attitude, and disguised advertising. They are just pre-AI slop: Stuff that sounds correct presented in a convincing way.
The logic of free speech applying to corporations is that they are an extension of their operators, making restrictions to them effectively restrictions on the operators.
This is way more wild. This gives corporations people-rights distinct from their operators.
That’s the fatal flaw with AI. If you can replace the base-level workers in a skilled field, competition will lead to most places doing that. 5-10 years later, the industry has a shortage of mid-level workers.
if it was perfectly crisped, you wouldn’t be able to fold it in half.
NYC-style pizza has one thing going for it: it’s genuine fast food. It’s on par with other fast food.
Nah, opinions of them have been sliding for a while. The software licensing stuff is just a topic that attracts certain vultures, making coverage suddenly explode.
Anti-cheat, not DRM. Two different products from the same company.
Cyanoacrylate was formulated specifically to bond well with human skin. Liquid stitches.
Fickity-fuck Fickity-fuck
Intercept isn’t the right word, but what they are doing is shady. The Bing search result for “Google” has results pushed down until they are nearly off the screen. They place what looks like a Google doodle (exploiting the fact that Google replaces their logo all the time) and a search box in the middle of the screen. It tricks the inattentive user into thinking it did what they meant for it to do, while still keeping them in Bingland.
The trackpads on the Steamdeck/SC2 are much better than the SC1.
Valve was forced to stop manufacturing the SC1 due to patent trolling related to the paddles.
The new law basically says “We don’t care where the user appears to be from, you have to assume they are from Utah”. Blocking Utah doesn’t help.
He wasn’t tricked into kneecapping her campaign. Her campaign was being kneecapped by ratfuckery and he was trying to soften it.
Republicans handed something to the FBI that would force them to reopen the case, knowing that it wouldn’t show anything new, just so that they could then wail about the FBI keeping it quiet to help Clinton.
You are thinking of analog triggers, which work fine over Bluetooth. Adaptive triggers is game-controlled resistance and feedback within the trigger. A rifle trigger, for example, is light at first, then when you get close to the firing point it gets heavy for a moment and then ‘breaks’, suddenly going all the way.
This works on PC if you plug in via USB, but very few games support it on PC and Stam Input breaks it.
Haptics are high-quality rumble. Rumble is basically just turning a motor on and off, often in a high and a low mode. Modern controllers drive vibration motors at varying levels using a sound signal, giving far more nuanced control. They often also have more motors that are independently controlled. This also works when plugged in via USB.
It’s not a different screen in SMB1. After you hit the axe, Mario walks to the right and the screen scrolls until the castle is off screen, revealing Peach and the ending text. It’s functionally just part of the level.
in case anyone is curious, those comments are not a modern addition. They are a faithful reproduction of the original scanned copy of the code.
