thank mr skeltal

I can appreciate that.

But does that mean if you phone it off, the physical switch is unable to do anything? Or does the switch just get inverted?

Trying to keep all the product for themselves

…I still believe that somehow, the Chavatar will return to save the world.

If it gained sentience and took over the world, at least it would probably build itself some nice nuclear power plants.

Is that the next Pokemon Gen? I can’t keep up with it these days.

We were the gray goo the whole time

They’re reading the wiki for lore because they’re 85% through the game skipping all cutscenes and lore drops, but they’re finally interested in the story now, if only because of the lore based puzzle they’re stuck at.

It’s just stretched. That portrait of Mario is supposed to be square, but here it’s wider than it is tall.

Probably just a setting on their TV. Maybe it’s intentional or maybe they didn’t realize.

Can confirm. I love both.

That’s their kink.

Let’s get this out onto a tray.

Me and my friends played the Pokemon stadium mini games WAY more than the actual battles. They were a lot of fun.

And the nature of computers is that they are magnitudes better than humans at brute forcing. Machine learning can brute force (depending on the technique, it can be smarter than brute forcing, being more efficient) test many many many more designs and techniques than we could manually do. Sure it’ll fail many times, but it’s just a numbers game, and it can pump those numbers. It’ll try a lot of weird and unique stuff we wouldn’t even think to try, with varying degrees of success.

Yeah, it makes me think back to the CD days. I think just having a Windows install CD already premade for you made the process at least semi approachable.

Last month when I was installing an OS (it was proxmox, not exactly beginner friendly, I know) the first boot disk creator I used “worked” but ended up failing in the install. The second one worked though.

All in all, creating your own install disk is nice and flexible, but it really is a barrier for the average user.

I’ve never seen x-files, but it does get brought up a lot in conversation about Fringe (one of my favorites). Fringe starts off as {insert scifi thing} of the week, and then the plot starts to develop later. I recommend giving it a shot.

I have also felt like this my entire life. Rather than a superpower, I’ve always imagined that I’m haunted by some low-level evil spirit that only has power over street lamps.

You know, it kinda makes me wonder if we should have listened a little more to the people who were paranoid of being tracked and went to live off the grid.

I watch his videos occasionally and I haven’t seen anything like that. Recently, at least, he’s just been doing the usual of taking apart and explaining random electronics he finds.

The McDonald’s ice cream machines have a similar vibe, but that doesn’t seem to be as smartly/evilly executed as these trains. Remote kill switches are insane.
