    Not even just broke, they completely disabled people's ability to use it. Took it out behind the woodshed.

    >Steam is basically one giant used game market in that you get stuff constantly for 50-90% off. I don't think thats comparable at all. You're not buying used games, you're buying d…

    They want this even more than they want $100 games. Rockstar not shipping discs for GTA6 and PlayStation ending disc production is the perfect two pronged approach. Honestly gamers…

    Using it for "staging" shitty rentals is pretty gross, but I used Nano Banana to make some mockups for a bath room remodel I'm doing and it worked pretty great.

    Pac man in Pac-man has cornering.

    Given the current climate I'd be inclined to declare "tyranny" also but in this case I think given the degree of potential damage the slamming on of brakes is warranted when the al…

    Not selective availability. COCOM Limits that prevent a GPS chip from operating above a certain speed and altitude.

    Not that I'm ever one to support anything this regime does but I'm kind of okay with them pumping the brakes on this until we really get a handle on what the The USG has limited ca…

    The forced upgrade from Gemini CLI which I liked as much, and as some ways better than Claude Code was bad. But them just sending out that email on Wednesday that basically said "T…

    I had the same thoughts "but won't i feel it THEN?" when I was getting an upper endoscopy. The anesthesiologist said you're in such a trance, dreamlike state plus with the inabilit…
