Was the PS controller as a speaker a Windows thing? Damn that drove me crazy. At least for me it was so intermittent that when it did pop up it was absolutely maddening. So happy I’ve moved on from Windows.

Is this at the escalators after you get off the tram to leave the terminal? In my experience the door to these stairs is overlooked. Most everyone scrambles to queue up for the escalators and you can just walk up and out easily.

This is so ridiculous. Why did you go back? It’s performative at this point. They’ll pass the legislation. The difficult thing to do was staying away for ~100 days and you couldn’t do it. This is just nothing.

I hope to hear more of an uproar against these dipshits, patting themselves on the back for having raised attention to the issue instead of holding out. You gave up. The redistricting will pass once it goes up for the vote. You jackasses need to do more than raise attention under the current climate.

Anything but trying to solve the underlying problems. Bonus: someone makes bank.

The fact these cowards are allowed to wear masks is riot-worthy.

Imagine doing your job and you need to put on a mask specifically to hide your face—and not questioning whether you’re one of the bad guys.

Nah, you’re safe to run it locally. You’re downloading the specific model, that’s right, and it’s not an exe. As you ask questions of it, the inference step, that is sent directly to the model on your machine by the ollama interface. Nothing goes over the network after you download a model and there is no scanning involved; that’s just not how it works.

Nuclear war would be absolutely apocalyptic. Lookup the US policy on “Launch on Warning” and “Hair-trigger alert”. Russia has the same thing and China by this point probably does, too. If the US were targeted those doctrines would come into effect and we’d go into “escalate to de-escalate” mode. And that’d make it worse.

There would be multiple thousands of warheads launched around the globe. EMPs would be detonated in the atmosphere, continent-wide power grids would fail. A single Ohio-class nuclear submarine has more destructive power than every bomb, including the two nukes, dropped in WWII — and they’d light the place up. And then you have all the various contamination in the air, soil, and water that would be cycled through the ecosystem for hundreds and thousands of years.

Pockets of people would live, certainly, but it’d be awful. Like Khrushchev said, “the survivors will envy the dead.”

The thing about Morrowind for me was that it was so completely alien. It wasn’t just more sword and sorcery in the British countryside but instead unleashed ridiculous magic where people lived in giant shells/mushrooms and the fauna was like nothing I had ever seen. To say nothing of the mechanics which I found more engrossing than the follow on games.

And then you get to Oblivion and Skyrim and they’re Britain and Norway. Cool.

fwiw the quote is singular developer. They mean the developer of the game, Bethesda, will take a look and reevaluate. Nowhere are they suggesting Bethesda will involve literal software engineers in a dispute about $7 content. That would be insane, as you suggest.

I got it on sale in December and think it’s worth it. I’m not a huge HP fan by any stretch but was impressed by the mechanics, they’re fun. Though as the game opens up you start to spot the tedious shit all open worlds tend to throw in to keep you busy. I just ignore that shit.
