If you’re willingly handing over training data to a company at this point, you should pretty much expect that this will be the fate of your data. Either this, or it will be sold.

None of these companies respect your data. They just want profit at the expense of everything else.

There’s a fun skit based on this: https://youtu.be/pOlcRFwEmc0

As a fallback, I would love a set of these with thin white and black outlines. I can imagine these working 95% of the time, but occasionally, I might need to add some extra contrast for visibility.

This was my original introduction, which left me incredibly confused as I’d not seen 2001 at the time either. In retrospect, it’s hilarious.

Even still, it’s at least not yet another plastic-looking 3D style. I’m not so much of a purist. If it can fool me, I’m okay with it as long as humans are doing the work and getting paid for it.

I remember when the first round of capacitive buttons showed up. I can’t find it anymore, but there was an article on a fan site for MP3 players I read in 2010 that showed the comparisons of physical vs capacitive vs touchscreens and capacitive buttons only had negatives. It baffled me when they just never stopped using them on things. That article was burned into my mind and now I see that logic has spilled into a thousand other industries.

This animation looks so good, if only because it’s been so goddamn long since I’ve seen high-quality American 2D animation. I really hope this releases well and shows studios that 2D animation doesn’t have to be dead.

The worst thing the car industry ever did was turn our vehicles into mobile living rooms.

I still stand firm that driving should be mildly uncomfortable and loud with the intention of keeping you focused.

I had an 8.04 CD that started me on my journey. I remember the boot sound to this day and miss my GTK 2+Compiz+Emerald setup. You can sort of still get there today, but with little to no modern themes being made, it’s hard to justify.

I’ve even worked on a BMW door panel and they’re not the worst. Most difficulty is in dealing with the inevitable clips that you’ll probably need to replace a couple of and the black pasty goo they use to stick the plastic on the door.

Those fast track lines at the airport I recently read somewhere is supplied by a private entity, which means all those face scans are just added into a database for future surveillance.

I tend to take a playlist of songs I enjoy and enable the radio feature. It keeps a healthy mix of things I’m already comfortable with and stuff that’s in the same ballpark. I’m pretty settled into my listening taste, so I rarely go for much outside that. Other than that, it’s direct friend recommendations.

It’s the same persons left and right hand.

It has been far too long since I’ve watched this beauty.

But if you’re illiterate, how did you read his comment? 🤔

In my previous jobs, we had to get the account setup first before giving it to the user. We would go in and sign them into all of their tools as we were transferring their data from older machines.

The point is that few things are the best case scenario. That’s the issue. They seem to think computers work like the government. They’re a tool. Like a hammer or a paintbrush. The idea of trying to attach an account or physical machine to a person is silly because it’s inherently transient. Locking them down further only serves to make the hammer less useful.

See ya! I’m headed to Penguins country.

Something that keeps coming to mind with these laws made for industries they don’t understand…

How do they expect server farms and companies to function? Whose credentials are attached to a computer that’s used by a dozen people? And when a company orders a whole fleet of laptops, does one technician have to attach their identity to the dozens of machines that will be deployed?

There’s just zero thought put into this and we’ll yet again have a dozen leopard eating face stories from major businesses that lobbied for this administration complaining that these restrictions are crippling their productivity.

Apostrophe Exclave sounds like a sick as hell band name.
