Pretty fun dumb thing to play with. Use it to entertain friends and impress ~~Luddites~~ tech-illiterate boomers like my Dad.

Occasionally someone is able to manually finesse it into making it do something actually cool.

Edit : To be clear, I support artists and do NOT support the replacement of genuine and meaningful art created by individual minds.

At the same time, I also would pay to watch a live real human choir + orchestra performance of that “Newton’s Genius” song if someone put that LLM song to sheet music.

At this point, I treat Adobe like malware on my personal systems.

Enshittification seems to be accelerating.

Not amazing like some people say…

You have got to be joking. Andor’s “No Way Out” is literally one of the highest rated episodes of television on all of IMDB.

If you think Andor is “mid,” you are very much in the minority, bud.

Andor is - and I do not say this lightly - the best Star Wars related media since the original films.

I will agree the show has a slow start, but by the time I watched “The Eye” episode, I couldn’t wait to see the next.

It is the political thriller Lucas wishes he could have written for the prequels but didn’t have his ex-wife around to help curb his terrible dialogue nor save in the editing bay.

If you don’t like it, I would be curious as to what Star Wars besides the original films it is you do consider better than Andor and why.

Valve showed how to do this right years ago at this point with the Steam Deck.

  1. Force (or at least put a sizeable number of devices to be available for exclusive) purchase through their own store.
  2. Limit to only a single unit purchase per official account.
  3. Require the official account to have already been present before the device was announced to be available to purchase.

Boom. Scalper market collapsed for Steam Deck, PS5, etc.

thx. fixed.

Also, what a fucking piece of shit Google is for doing that. I fucking hate them so goddamn much.

I immediately installed this extension in Firefox to auto-strip that out from now on.

I hate that this was my first thought... but just in case no one else was aware of this literal classic moment in gaming villain history...

There used to be stories (not sure how many were true) of him going to events like E3, Tokyo Game Show, Gamescom, and other developer-centric game conventions.

He also was a key figure / contributor in some old school PC adventure games like Indiana Jones from waaaaay back in the day.

Shortest vid I could find that shows the good parts. Didn’t really care what the intro was.

Bingo. Shield pro, and blacklist the MAC address of the TV and NEVER update the firmware.
