The gacha games just keep lowering the poly count until your waifu is 2d, so long as the loot boxes still open the customers won’t notice.

The inference part of these products is comparability cheap. The training has been the expensive part generally which is what drives the cost.

Microsoft missed the mobile boat by a long shot.

Windows is ever shrinking as people don’t buy computers like they used to since phones can do what they need.

This means that for Microsoft growing Windows user base is a non starter. They are well into the extract portion of the product lifecycle. The os now only exists to support the products that still make money are extract what can be extracted from a shrinking user base.

I mean the marketing guys are doing their job which is to convince you that you are getting a video feed for your to do cool things with. The actual reason is free camera wearing automatons are cheaper than ones you have to pay for.

Yeah, if you break your back to get it sorted they just assume they allocated enough resources and will do it again.

It’s super hard to let things fail sometimes but in some organizations it’s the only actual signal they can respond to.

Every child care center and baby sitter near me eventually had one or two of these.

I’m not sure I ever encountered one with the actual figures though. You were lucky if the canon ball was still with it.

It hurts to read “The original song dates back to the 20th century” in the Wikipedia article.

I guarantee you they have not made that connection at all.

You don’t get it. It’s on the block chain, it’s a chain of blocks man, like it’s decentralized finance man, we’re calling it defi, like hifi but defi, it’s gonna be huge.

I just meant the " promise to do everything by the book and don’t rock the boat while you slow walk everything in your desired direction"

I think it’s from a time when people(both men and women, but mostly women) married for social and economic reasons. Those reasons kept people in relationships who had long since checked out.

Now it resonates with fewer people because women can leave bad relationships more easily.

That’s also why I assume the manisphere is a thing because there are a lot of sour people who are upset they are not owed a person just for existing.

Eh the US had cancer long before Obama. Nixon, Reagan, Gingrich, W (or Chaney if you like) were all slow walking things to where the US is now.

It’s a hard life but I’m working through it with my therapist.

The US talks a big game but I doubt they would do much if China actually took Taiwan. They can’t afford economic sanctions and the population wouldn’t want to expend troops on it.

Still China doesn’t really want instability that close to home. Far more likely to take the Hongkong approach.

At some point in the late 90s or early 2000s they banned cigarette advertising.

I didn’t think about it but at this point i don’t know any brands anymore. My father smoked players when I was young, and Benson and hedges used to sponsor some public events but otherwise I guess it worked.

That or cigs got too expensive to smoke brand name. My grandfather, before he died of lung cancer was smoking big clear bags of cigs from the reserve.

I have an 82 inch TV that is wall mounted.

My girlfriend can’t lift one side of it so if I ever need to take it off the wall I gotta get a friend to come over to help.

I just google the tv model number and find an image of the inputs, then I go by feel.

Yeah this is exactly the thing.

You can narrow down suspects from millions to hundreds because your cousin needed to see that they are 34 percent German or whatever.

Yeah, I picked scratch numbers from Wikipedia and picked low numbers to make the point. The bigger ones are 10 times the size so you can just add a zero.

End to end encryption is meaningless when they control both ends…
