And as a paragon of good I wouldn't think Jesus would be so smug about it

I also dislike when the underdog genuinly starts off as an underdog and is just given a cheat code which is played off as "hard work and determination".

Like the main character of My Hero Academia. A person born without super powers in a world full of super heroes. You get excited at how he will overcome his limitations..... and the answer to that is be given the strongest power in that world and get even more super powers on top of that.

It is especially annoying how the surrounding characters act like it isn't a cheat code.

Funny thing is in that universe there is a character called Lemillion who had powers with drawbacks and had to learn to take advantage of them. A true underdog making the most of the cards he was dealth with. He should have been the MC of the show.

The kicker is that the devices are usually locked down so even if you have the motivation to get your hands dirty, you can't. The device dies as soon as support dies.

Well the difference between 69 billion and 70 billion is 1 billion.

Momentum, there are active niche subreddits that don't really exist on lemmy yet.

People seem to think it is a one time thing. But are you going to have invasive brain surgery every time you need a major upgrade because your current implants are no longer being supported?

If you are talking about the late 90's and early 2000's there was plently of multiplayer games and saving was pretty much standard.

This guy looks like an anime character

I am guessing noone is suing discord for hosting these groups were Nintendo might be threatening a lawsuit for hosting these devs.

So not a matter of morals but self-preservation.

Go to asian countries, plenty of elderly on bicycles. It is just the elderly in western countries are sedentary which leads to atrophied muscles.

With the handicapped you can make the same argument with operating a motor vehicle.

Side note: I like cars. I even have a sim rig at home to race around in. But car centric infrastructure brings more negatives than positives.

Just to add, if you go with a bicycle, you do not need to forgoe cars altogether. For those days you need to haul around a bunch of items, you can rent a car through a car sharing service. You can rent them for a few hours.

Mind you I am not saying Lemillion should have been given one for all. Just see that he should have been the main character. One for all could be a mcguffin for the heroes to keep out of the hands of the villains instead of using it like a cheat code.

Speaking metaphorically they basically have to create "doors" for the hundreds of "walls" they made to originally prevent this.

I say "doors" since they will probably make them oddly shaped and hard to access to still make it difficult to allow you in.

Sounds pretty gay*

Not sure what the surprise is. It is a device that needs you to sign into an account and have an internet connection. Ie it is just a dumb terminal. Kind of like how Alexa speakers are useless without an internet connection. All the processing is done on servers.

Even if it was not an android app, you probably could have made a clone of it since you are basically interacting with a web api.

In their defence the device has the advantage of giving you instant access to their ai through the touch of a button whilst on phones you would need to physically open the app as the "assistant" functionality is already reserved to Siri, Bixby, etc. EDIT: I wasn't aware you can change assistants.

Personally I like the concept if the processing was done within the device, but considering you need monster machines to run llms I guess we are least decades away from that reality.

And they are all judging you.

Let me fill you in. The article details how the games you own change. If you own a Zelda game and get this prosthetic it changes to a Tomb Raider game.

If I'm not mistaken with digital download games you are paying to lease them rather than buying them outright. So technically you don't own the game, you are just borrowing it. This would make pirating the same game you bought more of an illegal act.

They're the ones holding the clipboards

Comments don't count

Follow the white rabbit

I had a car with a heavy clutch. Tried out my friends car and kept accidently stomping the clutch pedal due to how relatively light it was.

Parking brake location(of cars which don't have the traditional hand break). Drove a few rental cars and always took a few minutes to find where the button is. Recently learned there are cars that have a pedal for a parking brake, took me 15 minutes to locate.

Indeed, I should have worded my comment better. I just want to point out that it is an infrastructure issue rather than bicycles being objectively worse than cars.

The fact they chose india is probably for the low wages. So I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Indeed and there is also competition between instances, instead of being left to the whims of a sole dictator of a centralized service.

To take their assets and include them in your platform.

It is sweet that you decided to repair yours instead of outright replacing it.

Seems like a brutal stalemate

I have the LG wing and it's great. I am going to really miss it when I have to do the inevitable change....

Ah wasn't aware of the ability to change assistants. I stand corrected!
