I can’t tell you for sure, but Framework does have a business team and they seem to support automatic onboarding with Intune Autopilot too. One usecase that came into my mind is that when employees demand a new computer because theirs feel slow the tech can just drop in the board into a new chassis, reinstall the OS and the marketing guy is none the wiser. Plus, frameworks are cheaper in the long run.

Hate to disappoint you but Steam isn’t exempted from this. Will they ever do it? Unlikely, but the clause is in their subscriber agreement.

Businesses that have to be complaint with industry standards are unfortunately stuck using Win or MacOS

Models can be retrained, there’s a certain website out there that prides itself in having more than 300k movies available for download, if the AI companies get their hands on it then there’s enough training material for them and the outcome will likely be good enough for the average Marvel movie.

Also, they won’t generate a 2 hour movie, they’ll likely do 1 scene at a time and piece it together. So in theory they can carry even a 10 hour movie if the plot for it exists.

He is unfortunately correct, if the AI generated actors are convincing enough then majority of people will not care. Just like it is with CGI, people complain about CGI in movies but as examples they can only list movies with very poor CGI because our brain ignores good CGI.

It’s more like the tests we came up with ourselves show our models improved therefore it means you can safely invest a lot of money in us and uhh yeah we will become profitable one day

I dunno, claiming that fascism was always in our tech is an incorrect statement. The Amiga 1200 wanted to hurt nobody.

I love the Amiga 1200

It is expensive to “get in” but once you’re in you don’t have to buy a new laptop, you can just replace chassis/mainboards as you go.

Sincere answer - no.

Now just prompt engineer to give all the employees raises and watch how quick it gets unplugged

Nothing in the lore specifically really, it’s just a very well made RPG despite its buggy state.

There is however a perk for each sex that does 10% damage to the opposite sex, so if you pick that at the start of the game and change sex when you leave Goodsprings you can then choose both perks and do 10% more damage to all mobs in the game, making your character canonically trans.

Mate we’re not all like that, some of us just play video games (shocking I know)

If only all the streaming services bundled all the services into one service and started selling it for a better price than whatever’s currently being offered :D

History repeats itself and all that

In my native language there’s no such thing as “condiment”, it’s all sauce. Packaging at the shops even say “Mayo sauce”.

No mayo? I love mayo

For the $80 games I kinda get it, it’s cheaper to rent the service, finish it in less than a month and then cancel. With indie games though? Most of them are priced around the $10-$30 mark. Renting them is criminal, they’re not asking for a lot.

They just aren’t making money from them like they used to. You can’t expect to port a game to PC 2 years after it releases, spend $0 on advertising and then say “mhmm, this pc thing isn’t working out, no one’s buying our games”. Check the Steam charts for their last few ports, they’re resembling a flat line. If they dropped the game on PC day 1 they would’ve made more money on PC sales, which is a terrible precedent for them, as it means that the age of the console has come to an end. Luckily, some of Sony’s biggest partners already realized that:

I’m pretty sure most of the H.264 patents expired or are set to expire next year. Maybe it’s one last cash grab before the best codec ever made is liberated

It’s actually insane how much reach JKR lawyers have… if you have been around certain pirating communities there are usually two very important rules: don’t upload Tolkien and don’t upload JKR. Those vermin reach anyone and everyone

Minecraft released when Steam was not dominant yet. We still got physical releases when Minecraft first went on sale. Nowadays? Good luck
