Not quite a gun but close.

…Luckey said he turned to a more rudimentary but no less horrifying method of three explosive charges he usually uses “for a different project” (which he did not elaborate on) attached to the headset essentially like gun barrels. The charges are connected to a photo sensor that detects when the headset’s screen flashes red at a certain frequency during a “game over” display. Once that happens, “the charges fire, instantly destroying the brain of the user.”

The visuals remind me of that homemade suicide helmet that used a bunch of shotgun shells. That thing creeps me out from the amount of conscious effort the person put into building a device to end their life, it wasn’t a spur of the moment thing.

Can prisoners deny work placements? Like do they get any say in this? I’m guessing there would be some sort of retaliation which is why they accept them, that or there’s a promise of a shorter sentance or something.

That cat has a 1000 yard stare, it’s been through some shit. I wonder if it’ll keep doing the cat thing or if it’ll be scared of boxes from now on.

Wouldn’t it be good to have the truth during investigations?

Well, yeah, but the mind is fallible. That’s why eye witness testimony usually only gets a case so far, people tend to forget specifics and fill in the gaps without realizing they did.

In the gaming world, for example, MSI announced this year a monitor with a built-in NPU and the ability to quickly show League of Legends players when an enemy from outside of their field of view is arriving.

…So it just lets them cheat? I remember when monitor overlay crosshairs were controversial, this is insane to me.

They did!

Great photo! If that were my cat, I’d have a metal print done of this and hung on my wall.

Lmao timers are essentially the only thing I use Bixby for, how did they manage to fuck this up so bad??

Greed is the reason, because they can. People need housing. Same way grocery stores are getting away with charging so much, people need food. The working market theoretically should fix this in time, but so far it isn’t. New houses and competing grocery stores don’t appear overnight. I fully agree with you, rentals have their place and there can be many benefits, but without proper oversight and rent control this was always going to be the outcome - squeeze as much cash out of people until you literally can’t anymore. I don’t think there is some secret collusion going on between landlords (at least in most cases), there’s really no need. Just watch rental prices, then when the area average becomes higher than you charge for your unit, you raise yours slightly above that. By doing that you’ve now ever so slightly increased that area’s average, now other landlords will raise their prices slighy higher, causing other landlords to raise their prices slightly higher, rinse and repeat. Note that I might be completely off the mark here but this lines up with my experiences at least.

If a consumer watches something on their Apple TV and then presses the pause button, a Roku TV set could use either audio or video-based content recognition technologies (known in the industry as ACR) to identify what’s being watched, match the current scene to a database and extract relevant information to pair an ad with it.

Wow somehow their idea is even worse than I imagined, glad I don’t own a Roku now.

Reaminds me of this legendary Aussie. https://youtu.be/SoZ41i2dSIw?si=Er-JrpdsBLnMD5hH

My roommate from a year ago was adamant CCleaner was required for his PC to keep running. In 2023. I was just shocked to see it was still even a thing.

I enjoy that the character that can break a lot of things is called the “non-breaking space”.

At this point I feel it’s too late. Unless they purchase a large fleet of aircraft and rotate through randomly, it would be fairly trivial to find what jets happened to be flying to the airport closest to Taylor Swift and make a solid assumption on which one is hers after a few flights.

The problem is more to do with ADSB I think. If I remember correctly, all aircraft in the US must have an ADSB transponder now. That info is broadcast for traffic awareness but also contains a ton of other info like speed, altitude, and most importantly the tail number. That signal can be picked up by anyone within range using very simple radio equipment, sites like ADSB Exhange do this and populate a map. So right now unless they want to rework the entire ADSB system, as long as you know the tail number, you can track anyone’s aircraft live. Delaying this data would make the traffic avoidance impossible.

We all need a codeine cowboy now and again.

I’m going to take a guess that this sim setup is mainly for IFR or instrument flying. I know some people that do virtual airline stuff and they follow real life as closely as they can, so after taking off its auto-pilot on and using instruments for navigation instead of visual landmarks.

Shit, not quite as bad but this post reminded me I have clothes sitting in the dryer I wanted to hang up about 2 hours ago.

Dilulu plus

This is bait or a joke, right? What a stupid take, you don’t have to play devils advocate for everything… Just being alive isn’t the biggest carbon footprint you can have, you can massively reduce or increase your contribution based on your voluntary actions. A oil executive probably has a much higher impact on carbon emissions from their choices in business when compared to, say, a monk. “Just go die if you want to save the planet” is not a reasonable solution and these people’s deaths are a tragedy that I hope the future looks back in disgust on.
