It just downloads a list of usernames to pretend the computer-driven karts are real players, then uploads the lap times for ranking after the “race”.

Wow, holy shit.

Imagine somebody playing Overwatch or CS:GO and they made a bunch of bots pretend that they are real players. Fans would skewer them from day one.

Keep Killing Games.

I love fully local stuff, but the LLM part seems very expensive. Even for such a simple thing as managing our lights and music.

Yeah, this is something I found out when I hacked my Amazon Echo and put LineageOS on it. I like the new interface that isn’t constantly advertising Amazon bullshit as a screensaver, but it doesn’t have a GPU, so attempting to put any sort of voice component takes many seconds to try to process.

And in this post-memory-crisis economy, it’s not quite the right time to buy a dedicated LLM processing rig for my house. But, this really needs to be the route in the future. Or just install a NPU on this speaker itself. Phones already do this, and it’s been the standard since 2017.

Nope!

Making the domain www without the dot is the dumbest way to cause people to think that it’s a scam site.

Back then, the PS2 was graphically-superior to the PC, at least in terms of cost per dollar. They designed console motherboards to integrate to the different components in ways to make them much faster at video games specifically.

Nowadays, consoles are just glorified PCs, and they have no technological advantage. No technological advantage, no public appetite for console exclusives, no reason to exist.

Ehhhh.

Yeah, photos haven’t been reliable for 20-25 years. Hell, people fake Twitter posts as YouTube thumbnails all the time.

It’s about as ridiculous as “is it Photoshopped?” or “Is it airbrushed?”

Rule #4: Don’t submit low-quality posts.

Also, this user is a bot. Look at the post history. No normal user posts 40 entries in a 24 hour period. And no, I don’t mean they post a bunch of posts in one period, and bunch the rest in another period. I mean they are consistently posting 2-3 entries an hour without sleep, without a break.

EDIT: Holy shit… 1.69K posts in two months.

Yep, there it is. There’s the hook. This bot moderates exactly one forum as the only moderator, to sell a bunch of PC parts. There’s the scam. This is just like those YouTuber bots that link to a personal profile for a porn website.

They should bring Hope to anybody.

Asshole is still president, still defrauding millions of people with rug pull scams, still making billions of dollars with insanely shady means.

Meanwhile, pirates are still doing the public good, in the name of digital preservation, a lack of physical media be damned.

We’ve tried to educate, but the general public is just so fucking stupid and won’t learn any lessons at all. How many pre-orders does it take before they realize it’s a scam? Fuck, there are still idiots that buy the latest FIFA game at full price every single year.

It’s not even victim blaming when they repeatedly don’t learn they are being shafted over and over again.

I taste no appreciable difference between the brands,

Either you don’t have any taste buds, or you don’t order pizza that often. A statement like this is like saying “I taste no appreciable difference between Coke and Pepsi”.

• Papa Johns’ has an almost-sugary pizza sauce that I don’t like that much. I also prefer pan pizza, but their default is that floppy NY pizza style. I consider them one of my least favorite option. Fucking Yum can’t manage any of their brands.
• Domino’s used to suck about 15-20 years ago, but they have improved in every way now. Typically my go-to delivery, for a major chain brand.
• Pizza Hut is still pretty good for pan pizza, but some think is greaser than others. They tend to use a lot of cheese, which is fine by me.
• Little Caesars, absolute fucking garbage. I’d rather heat up a cheap pizza at home.
• Cicis, barely above Little Caesars, about the same quality as Chuck E. Cheese or Mr. Gattis
• Jet’s Pizza, really really good pan pizza, a bit more expensive, but better than old standards like Domino’s or Pizza Hut.
• Mellow Mushroom, Old Chicago, Blaze Pizza, all S-tier pizza restaurants, though they don’t deliver. Making your own pizza with Blaze just makes it the top pick out of all of these.

Just need to accelerate improvements on quantization.

You post this on a piracy forum?

Sorry, I don’t get any ads on my downloads.

This is also rich coming from its parent company, which is involved in the Incogni scam.

Yo, stop fucking using Plex and switch to Jellyfin. I switched over months ago, and it just works.

Plex became the enemy when they forced their users into a subscription model. Support bullshit-free open-source software instead.
