Five? Lmao

This is still only the first disc. We have at least 15 more years before this is done.

People have been creating and posting realistic looking fake celebrity nudes for quite literally decades now, but now they're using AI and its suddenly a problem?

I did this for ages fighting with various logitech and microsoft mice, always ended up getting cramps in my mouse hand. Eventually landed on the corsair nightsword a few years ago, very comfortable for a full palm grip, highly recommend. Maybe have a look there.

Having money

You'll be able to play Remnant 2's new DLC with a friend who has it, even if you don't own it yourself in c/games

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I got the first one for free on Epic. Enjoyed it enough that I bought the DLC for it, and was pleasantly surprised that my friends didn't need the DLC in order to play it with me, it was great!

And then about a year later I returned to the game with a different set of friends, and was no longer able to access the DLC until my friends also bought it.

It was a huge let down and I'm still pretty disappointed they changed that. I'm very skeptical this will stay this way.

Xbox users call out Activision and Microsoft for "vomit inducing" full-screen Modern Warfare 3 ad in c/games

[–] [email protected] 31 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I've had a Day 1 edition Xbox One that I've used nearly every day since release. Admittedly, not great for games, but it's been an absolute powerhouse of a media center for me. Twitch, youtube, plex, any streaming service, and a blu ray. If for some reason I can't stream something to it, I can plug in my chromecast or laptop, and with passthrough, it's literally all I've needed in my living room for the past 10 years.

For the first time yesterday I very honestly considered boxing it up and getting rid of it after booting it up and getting this forced full screen ad before getting to my homepage. Fuck this shit.

You can patch out bugs, you can't patch out boring.

'Near Collisions' of Commercial Jets Happen All the Time: FAA Records in c/technology

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Immediately from the headline my first reaction was "well, the rate of actual collisions is near 0", so either they're very good at dodging each other, or what they deem as a "near collision" is actually quite a wide berth.

But then, this is the journalistic integrity we've come to expect from gizmodo.
