    Optical media capped out at 4 layer blu-ray (~128gb) which I'm not even sure that consoles can reliably read. So my theory is that GTA 6 is somewhat larger and they really didn't w…

    It was a good ad, because it was scary but hopeful, and I think that's how they want people to view their company? Trying to make claude come off as human and friendly is never goi…

    My experience with USAA is still that it's better than all of the other insurers, but I haven't had to make any homeowners claims. They have done very well every time my family had…

    I can't wait for the deluge of AI generated agent-optimized webpages competing to trick your agent into giving them micropennies.

    Do people get pwned by anything besides spearphishing or ads nowadays? I think ad->phish or targeted phish emails is the only shady thing I've been exposed to in like 10 years
