If skipping the screen makes you look healthy you should probably consider taking a break from your phone for a few years. Maybe get a landline.

Well, or for most people, because they didn't have the custom spanner at home for that brand of watch. Though usually a dexterous person could get them open with a small screwdriver and the right rotational force.

It's IP68 rated, not IP65.

IP65 = water jets
IP68 = continuous immersion, 1m or more

Because the Financial Times knows that Yahoo! will repackage their story and then buy a slashvertisement, gaining thousands (+/- a Library of Congress) of ad impressions.

He's not arguing that it can be managed with conventional guardrails.

He's just saying that he won't tell you what he believes, but whatever it is it is closer to that it can be managed with conventional guardrails than it is to -infinity.

Unsurprisingly, the top line "paraphrasing" by the media completely ignores the "closer to" part, and pretends he said he believes the thing he explicitly said he doesn't believe. As is their way.

No, he's saying his belief is closer to it having legs.

On the one hand, it sounds that way to me, too.

On the other hand, "slop it out the door" isn't guaranteed to be worse than "shove it out the door unfinished and we'll patch it later."

I went over to wikipedia to see the list of their games to find out when the last time I played one was, and I discovered I've never played one. I don't think I've actually even seen one.

I've used Unreal Engine, though. It's better than Unity at a lot of things. So they may suck at games, but they're good at making game engines. "Buggy nightmare" seems a bit unrealistic, considering how many things it is used for (successfully).

It's a letter I, as in ignoramus. Not an L, as in loser.

It means Actual Italian. It refers to Davie504. All the music in the game is going to be just bass.

It's off-topic, but it's actually a funny story.

In the olden days, all the guitar amplifiers were designed to have low distortion. When some rock-and-roll musicians found out that distortion could sound really cool, they started having their amps modified to increase the gain to give distortion. But this proved to be a big problem for touring musicians; when an amp died, was misplaced, or was stolen, not only did the replacement have to have been modified, but each modification produced different amounts of distortion. Setting it at 7 on one amp might be perfect, but on another amp you'd set it at 8 for the same distortion. Another problem is that you'd lose the bottom end, which can be annoying when you're using an amp for a different instrument than it was made for.

So a famous touring musician asked a company to make a special model of amp. Instead of the regular dial that goes from 0-10, it would go to 11, with 5 or 7 or 10 meaning the same thing as on their regular amps, and 11 would be overdriven enough to provide some distortion. That way they could still repeat settings calculated with a regular amp. It was a huge improvement for getting good sound at venues in the short time they had to set up.

And then, partly because of his goofy public persona, all the idiots of the world decided that that he must have ordered an amp that "goes to 11" thinking it would be louder, and maybe the company just wrote "11" instead of 10. Hur hur hur hur hur. And there's still repeating that ignorant and pejorative misunderstanding to this day.

According to the story, they underestimated how many people it would take to make the game that they agreed to make for Disney, so they're way behind schedule and one of the game directors told developers, "No more hand-written code" and all art will be "generated with full AI workflows." A PR person told Bloomberg, "We're embracing AI-accelerated development, led by Epic developers who are the visionaries and creative drivers for everything we do."

Alternatively you could hunt and gather and produce everything you need by hand within a small group of people... except wait, you'd need a few billion dollars worth of land to support a few people, and there isn't enough available land for that.

If you have to rely on other people for necessities your life is centered around an economy. Even if the propaganda of your social group includes anti-establishment hyperbole.

In a business environment that could add a lot of cost. Probably nobody has experience doing that, and you're going to have to ensure it is documented well enough that a new employee who has never done it before can take it over (potentially during a crisis where you just found out there's a problem with it)

Low standards are still standards, still exist.

"I think there should be more" shouldn't turn into "there is none" as it works its way from one side of your brain to the other.

If you do that you won't even be able to make a reasonable argument for higher standards, because everything you say will be wrong, even if well intentioned.

It seems you don't know what the words mean, and aren't interested in learning.

Just as stupid today as you were last month, and every month.
