This is why I use Linux, the fingerprint device wouldn't be supported so this wouldn't be an issue /s

Effort!

I don't usually want to contribute my own opinion. I just want to read other people's and silently judge them if they disagree with me.

"wHAt aRe yOu 12"

Be less of a cock. Everyone was 12 once.

It even has a pool inside it!

"I have to get over this some time, why not now?"

~ Louis Wu, from Ringworld, written by Larry Niven.

"Because I'm not ready" is also a valid answer, but it gets your brain moving towards the goal I find.

I pay for it.

The cost is worth the extra quality when working with others over screenshare etc. The community management features are useful. A large portion of my workflow is aided by discord and GitHub, both of whi h I pay for premium features.

I don't expect them to provide these services for free considering the huge boost they give to productivity. Expecting them to be free is naive.

I see an "add attachments" that is crying out to be tested with a zip-bomb.

Oh no! Anyway...

Edit: checked the IP of my seedbox and about 75% of the entries listed aren't valid. Weird.

Explain?

You can in fact insure things that it is possible to steal. Cars, bikes, household posessions, you name it. It's quite common.

I was using TechBench to download ISO's from MS without having to change my useragent.

Sadly it looks like the project has been retired in favour of their Files project, but trawling through that to find entries that actually have download links is a royal pain in the ass.

If anyone has a tip on easily finding the latest download for each Windows version then I'd love to hear it.

Edit: Massgrave seems to be current best option: https://massgrave.dev/genuine-installation-media.html

It has windows.

Clarification: the bogus AI images they've got have windows in the viewing gallery. It's all bullshit though - it features the images from SAFE that are allso bullshit but keep popping up in various articles, notably* the MRI room.

The worst part is anyone thinking this bullshit is remotely plausible.

But I need my cuda :(

Vinegar and magic eraser (melamine foam) will get pretty much anything off!

A bunch of IF statements don't qualify as an AI. That's not how that works.

When did Wondermark get color? Horrible modern stuff.

Not so. You should really look at the info before commenting lol.

"It's got no windows!" - there are windows pretty clearly visible in the renders.

"There's no light down there!" - it tops out at 250m, light reaches about 800m.

You can make a toaster do anything a toaster can do. It can't clean your house or fly, because it's a toaster.

Like the TV show Dead Like Me, although she was obliterated by a de-orbiting toilet from Mir space station breaking up

A moon pool or a regular one?

Just a regular one, but I imagine they'll add one if you ask for it.

You're totally, technically correct and I apologise :)

Reading this back it seems I've had a kneejerk reaction to seeing the word "AI" slapped onto a basic chatbot. I appreciate that yes, by all metrics it's an AI - yet it draws a parallel between this kind of Hello-World chat-bot and the current state of AI, which I felt is misleading. Like comparing a canoe to a cruise ship, you know?

This seems like the cost of a game that they are unable to charge op for. Do you feel like they are not entitled to the money owed?

They could have just removed the game from the account, at least this way op is alerted of the issue and given a chance to correct it without an interruption to his entertainment.

Not my cow, I'm just here to hold the tail.

Apparently, you don't.

We don't want muffins, no toast, buns, baps, bagets or bagels, no croissants, no crumpets, no teacakes, no potato cakes and no hot cross buns! And definitely no smegging flapjacks!

Only if you're less than 7 inches across in the direction you're teleporting. This is only useful for the super-skinny, otherwise you're going to splinch yourself into a wall.

I did click your link. The accepted answer there states:

"The term artificial intelligence denotes behavior of a machine which, if a human behaves in the same way, is considered intelligent.

Again, I don't think that selecting basic responses based on keywords found in the string meets the criteria for being qualified as an AI, as anyone with experience of a chat bot this simple knows it won't hold up the illusion of "intelligence" for very long.

I did mean "equate", you're correct. The rest of my point remains - a very simple chat-bot like this is leaps and bounds from what would be termed an AI these days. To equate the two is misleading.

Not pitch black until > 800m.

I love Jellyfin, but they need to sort their subtitle support out.

That just means you're commenting on something without knowing anything about it, and so far everything you've commented has been incorrect?

It comes with two boats, jetskis, a helipad, and the ability to surface. You're not trapped in a hotel with no windows. It's not pitch black. You have ways to leave. It would have taken less time to learn this by reading the article than it would have taken to type this bollocks.

Im not attempting to "gatekeep" anything. I'm pointing out that drawing a parallel between a keyword-based chat it script and a full LLM is disingenuous.

Why?

Streaming usage per person is available via one of the stats plugins, but it is admittedly crude and missing some info (such as bandwidth used).

I'm using the android app without issues, which didn't require side loading, but my experience with other platforms is zero.

People out there making coffe with something other than water as a base? I'm so fucking confused.

Grind beans, pass through water = coffee.

Are people passing hot milk through it? That must be a pain to clean out the machine.

Is it Dashy?

Edit: nope, it's Homepage

Nah, you were trying to shit on something and point out flaws with a hypothetical product wihout even bothering to read about it. You got called out on talking shite - don't take the hump.

Unpopular opinion but Wheatley from Portal 2 can go breathe vacuum.

Not a fan of Steven Merchant and felt his voice acting was of placeholder-quality. Made the game considerably less enjoyable to play through with him desperately trying to be funny.

I should look for a mod, because even Gilbert Gottfried would be less irritating.

Selecting a canned-text response based on simple keywords is a long way from AI, and it's foolish to equivocate equate the two of them.

Also, chill tf out, and don't be so aggressively presumptious. I have enough experience with the topics in question to point out how misleading this statement is.

Yikes, how Draconian. Id be fucking pissed if someone came in and forcibly open sourced a product I had invested millions in developing.
