I'm an Android developer, and I can't think of a weirder place to do the job than at Apple. I bet it's weird there.

I'm not American, I just live here... for now

Yeah, I'm sure they left the spelling mistake in the image on purpose to get increased engagement from pedants like me. I'm sorry, it works on me.

Prime, Freevee (closing down), and MGM+.

Assuming we don't just get 8 years of President Vance...

I suspect most CEOs are going to take that small risk in order to earn a few more billions, and spend a tiny portion of that on additional security. Maybe donate a pittance to the police.

If you can make $1000, and it costs you $500 to make you secure doing that, then it's worth it. Line must go up, as everyone says.

Why would they snub a massive driver of revenue?

[–] essteeyou 3 points 6 days ago

Because if you believe it's worth $97B you don't offer to overpay by $3B...

I'm just suggesting that people can do that if they see a post that's an image. It might mean people are more likely to do it than if they had to type it up.

If you see one that's an image, you can put it into ChatGPT and pull the text out pretty easily. I just did it for a recent post, and stuck it in the comments.

It's better for accessibility, too.

Just for searchability and accessibility... Here are the ingredients and instructions from the image:

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz. rye whiskey
  • 0.75 oz. lemon juice
  • 0.5 oz. simple syrup
  • 0.5 oz. orange juice
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tsp absinthe

Instructions:

  1. Shake all ingredients without ice.
  2. Add ice and shake well for 10 to 12 seconds.
  3. Strain into a rocks glass.
  4. Garnish with drops of Angostura Bitters and a discarded lemon peel.
 

In the task where they had to count the seats in the cinema Andy Zaltzman says "one" while he's talking. That should have been his accepted answer.

 

It's just a screenshot showing Light No Fire is on a lot of wishlists.

Perhaps this is the beginning of the run up to a release date announcement.

 

With all the stuff being added to No Man's Sky I'm wondering what will make Light No Fire distinct.

What can LNF add to differentiate it from NMS?

Welcome to the Eurogamer 100, a list of video games that aims to reflect their ever-changing nature. Rather than ranking games by their influence or significance, the below list is a suggestion of the very best things you can play at this moment, according to us.

It's a pretty good list, I think, although there are a few "wtf" moments here and there as I see what's included and what's omitted.

I'll cut right to the chase. I'm playing the Aquarius expedition and I got a ship called The Celeste when I started. I fixed it up a bit, filled the inventory, and then, when I got enough nanites, I claimed the Iron Vulture from a previous expedition at The Anomaly.

The Iron Vulture appeared, and I began emptying some of my exosuit storage so I could transfer stuff out of The Celeste into the Vulture. For some reason, however, I cannot spawn in The Celeste again. So the ship, its technology, and cargo are all gone.

I have not had this problem in the past, so I'm really not sure what happened.

I can't even remember everything I lost, but I really wish I could get it all back.

I advise caution for anyone else looking to do the same thing.

 

Sean Murray traditionally teases No Man's Sky news with a single emoji tweet, but he's also used the "world" emoji in posts about Light No Fire's open world.

Keep your eyes open for potential news in the next few days!

 

Just a little informal post to say I think about this game all the time at the moment. I know I shouldn't say it, but I miss the hype of No Man's Sky pre-launch. The podcasts, the Reddit threads, etc.

I just want some news, ideally a release date!

 

I just wanted to make this little post to say that after losing my previous permadeath save after 12 hours, I persisted, and made it to the center on my second attempt.

I kind of cheesed it though, thanks to the teleporter on the anomaly, and a guy named Jeff Pesos who happened to have a base one hop away from the galaxy's center.

I did manage to do this on the Playstation many years ago, but I recently got back into the game on PC and wanted to 100% it.

Anyway, that's it, thanks Jeff Pesos!

Several months ago there was a QR code on an episode that led to the linked website.

Today's finally the day it says yes!

 

Hey dads, my wife and I got an email from the school district this morning saying that someone had emailed threats of violence to a lot of schools in my county.

They said there will be a police presence at all schools, and they don't think the threats are serious.

My wife and I are keeping our son (6) at home today because we're just not willing to take that risk. Are we being overly cautious given what the police say? What would you do?

Edit: Here's an article about the threat that I just saw. Seems like it really was a stupid hoax.
