I don't know, My nieces are in VR or on their phones alot, but outside is still on equal footing. And they are meeting other kids out there.

I think for people that can sustain their social needs with indirect relationships, maybe. But anyone that needs in-person socializing, they are gonna go get it. They don't go outside as much extra during the school year, but they spend the majority of summer break out there.

Until you do enough charge backs that your card flags you as a problem. And you can of course go with the option of doing the work yourself to get reimbursed and settling with your cards system. But this one is much nicer. If the cards insurance was this nice, I wouldn't recommend the better one.

Sucks that they tried to hide it, but I definitely recommend getting it. Of the 10 times I ordered from them so far, 2 of them arrived with a broken bottle. When a bottle breaks, you don't want that box in your house... I let the delivery guy know right away what he likely got on his hands from touching the box, so he didn't touch his eyes or anything before cleaning them. With a picture of the broken bottle, they let me toss the entire box and resent the whole order. Both times. I wouldn't bother if it was just a tier 1 or 2 that broke, but one of those times it was da bomb... and the other, it was that years last dab.

I wonder what they do for replacements when people don't get that, do people need to send it back? That would suck for everyone.

Ah, temp relocated, yes. That makes sense. Since it is also what is missing here. And I think it was a lighter shade of blue than final relocated.

Hmm, I appreciate it, but it's not moving data out of the way to clear soon to be used space. And when it's reading the fragmented data, it's reading it backwards... the fragmented data should probably already have been written forwards, so it should grab it in the same order it is writing it to the defragmented section.

And just for flavour, since even light background tasks in those days would have influenced it, could add a bit of random latency to each operation with small chances of notable latency, like a 1% chance of 2-3 second chunks of wait time. With an appropriate hard drive sound.

Yeah, that's what I figured. When stuff isn't as common as you expect on the internet, it probably doesn't happen in the states.

Hmm, I thought this was more common, is it not used in the states or something? Not seeing it anywhere near as much as I was expecting to in this thread. Far as I know this is the standard everyone uses, but I guess not "everyone" everyone.

Oh man, there is a record for that? Pawsitraction would have won that if they were still alive. Friends cat, had 7 beans on 3 of their paws and 9 on the other. Ah wells, probably for the best, would have gotten in the way of sitting quietly and cuddling, which is all them and their owner wanted in life.

Most of the people promoting it whole-heartedly are doing it for the sake of "profit at any cost". There would have been a reasonable way to approach it and incorporate it into our lives. But destroying everything while forcing people to use it for stuff it isn't even good at, while founding it on stealing so much stuff, and having a race to see who can make their AI 1% better than the other AIs at the small cost of burning down the planet exponentially more for each 1% gain... that was not the approach that would get the people behind you.

It's not even AI that is the problem, as always it's people. Selfish people. AI "can" be useful, but not useful enough to justify the cost they forced it to have. That's the main problem, that they stole initially, then the next biggest problem, that they fired so many humans and replaced them with AI, when AI couldn't, and still can't, replace them. The next biggest problem, that they are pursuing it so hard at any cost, and the cost is insane, in so many metrics. Next, that they force people to use it to justify that cost, even when the people are telling them, and the metrics are showing, that using it is making them worse at their job.

But AI -is- technically useful. There are things it can actually help with, quite a bit. Just not as many things as the bosses are trying to pretend it can be good at. And ignoring the costs that can never be justified, the product that exists if thinking about it in a vacuum can be used responsibly, but so many people don't. If you are using AI responsibly as an individual, your job shouldn't feel easier, just less tedious. If AI is making your job easier now, you might be paying for it down the line. Never get AI to do for you, something you couldn't have done on your own. Make sure you know what it did, and if you can't figure out how it came to a conclusion you didn't forsee, you better figure it out. Cuz it might be wrong, and it's important to know if it was, it'll always sound really confident, right or wrong.

But yeah, how useful it is in the few select areas it doesn't suck at, ends up being largely irrelevant in the grand scheme, since it can never pay off what it costed, and is still costing. And that statement is even still true if we limit ourselves to only considering it's literal financial cost.

So, in conclusion, yes. AI is gonna feel very right wing right now. Profit at any cost.

A console version of a game doesn't exist until it's finalized into that format... all major games are made on PC. But the dev version of the game isn't really a PC version of the game yet, it's just a version that runs on "this PC". The PC version has to run on as many PCs as possible for it to get released. That is what takes the time.
