Tesla insists that Autopilot is safe and only fails when drivers are distracted.

That can mean one of 2 things:

  1. Autopilot is safe and will drive you anywhere you want to go safely, unless you get distracted, then it goes into "unsafe" mode and attempts to kill the driver. I doubt this is what they are trying to say with that statement, so number 2 is the most likely.

  2. Its double-speak of epic proportions because the statement itself is implying Autopilot isn't safe since it requires an alert driver to be ready to correct it. Its either "safe" or it isn't. If its not "safe" without intervention, then its not safe and to claim otherwise is fucking delusional. At least state the truth, the autopilot is prone to mistakes and requires a human to pay attention to ensure the vehicle is being driven safely. The autopilot is most definitely not "safe".

Awesome! Well, I will definitely be playing it when you release it.

I looked up the video, the game he actually played was a different one called "The Corridor"

I think you and them both came up with a similar concept, Stanley Parable-like narrative game about pushing a button. And both are described as Stanley Parable-Like about a button, so it looks like I probably confused the two games. I'm still going to get it when its done though.

RCE is Real Civil Engineer.

Gmail wasn't even the first, Hotmail, Yahoo mail, there were tons of free email offerings, even sites that would host your whole website for free like geocities. Gmail came into the market when 3rd party email being free was already well established. They just followed an Apple style of development, taking something that already exists and made a better version of it. Also back then their motto was still "Don't Be Evil" and they mostly still kept to it, so they used that goodwill and the better user experience to grow it at a massive rate. And for the most part, its still the best experience for email for many cases.

If you've ever been forced to use Teams you must already know they scraped the bottom of their talent barrel for the team that works on it... The software is shit, riddled with bugs to the point where at one point I used to only be able to use teams on my browser because the desktop app just decided to never let me access the text chat, and the browser version I would load it would be a white screen and I would have to refresh 3 times for it to load. But at least it worked after those 3 refreshes. And it was exactly 3 refreshes every single time, never 2, never 4, and 5 was right out. It was always without fail 3 refreshes. Whether loading from Firefox, Chrome, or Edge. Fortunately we don't have too many meetings with people using Teams these days, so I haven't had to use it in a while, but its easily in my top 5 worst software I've been forced to deal with. Maybe Top 3. But its still miles behind Magento. Fuck Magento, just thinking of it right now gets my blood pumping and I refused to work with it ever again about 10 years ago... Fuck Magento. Teams is at least a distant 2nd or 3rd to that. Absolute crap.

I use Blink cameras for my outdoors, but they also make indoor cameras as well and with the Sync Module you can keep clips and have motion detection without storing any data on the cloud or needing a subscription. Cheap, but they work well. Their "Cloud" service was shit when I tried it with the 30 days free, so shit, I ended up canceling it so I could just use the Sync Module after about 2 weeks.

Been quite a while since I've heard Kid Rock say something I agree with... About the same time his music started to suck.

I think I remember seeing RCE play the demo of this, I thought it looked like great fun and planned to play it when it released :) Then promptly forgot about it >< But its on my wishlist now.

They have a lot of rich but unfortunate princes though, so there must be something to sustain all the royalty trying to give me their money.

Jokes on you, I got a tankless water heater, so I can cry in my shower for hours on end!

I moved from Washington state to Arizona, no regrets. The dry heat is so much better than the cold. If it was someplace humid like Florida though, fuck that noise. Been there in July/August and it feels like an old man's asscrack in a sauna. I'll take a few days of 120+ with no humidity here over 95+ with 100% humidity

I would, from playing FF7 Rebirth the 4K setting has a lot of spikes where the framerates are barely playable, and performance mode has some instances where the dynamic render resolution drops low enough that it just looks like crap from time to time during gameplay and introduces a lot of ghosting and artifacts.

If it got enough of an uplift that the performance mode would keep the render resolution locked at 1080p60 or quality mode to allow 4K60 I'd upgrade for sure.
