Here “consume” means far more than just “drank”. If you take a shower at home, you are consuming water. Wash your car? Consume water. Water your garden? Consume water.

To be fair AI models are being replaced multiple times a year these days… So yeah, in 2 years it should be killed, because improved models should exist.

Exactly. Microsoft also has the benefit of double-dipping - they have Xbox, but they also get a healthy cut from PC as a vast majority of gamers are going to be running Windows.

This article feels very much like a fanboy wanting to keep the stupid “console wars” going, when really Microsoft is happy to just rake in the cash.

Usually by the second or third question they got as much out of Google Assistant as they are going to get (because they just keep asking variations of the same thing, but don’t quite grasp that it is really the same question, or they have now gotten to a hyper specific question). By question 5 or 6 they typically are done with Google and come to us to discuss further.

Summed up: convenience, and curiosity.

I can lay in bed and ask if to turn off the lights, and all lights in the house shut off (including the ones the kids forgot to turn off). That convenience is phenomenal.

And my kids who are too young to own their own devices can ask it questions. Whatever is on their random little minds, which very frequently leads them to a topic that they then come to us to discuss in depth. I love that it helps them foster their curiosity about the world around them and often enough leads to healthy conversations with Mom or Dad.

By all accounts the past couple seasons he just shows up drunk to record his lines, be obnoxious in the office for a couple hours and then go home.

The actual writing and content hasn’t really involved him. So assuming they can find a voice that isn’t too jarring, odds are the average person won’t know or care and the show will be just fine.

I bet Disney loves having Bluey and Bingo right next to fuck spez and My Little Porno.

Technically Pikmin 3 also didn’t have co-op when it first released, that was a feature added with Pikmin 3 Deluxe. However definitely extremely disappointed they removed it for 4. Maybe it can be added later, but likely not until they release DLC or another Deluxe version…

I was also confused about that until seeing this article… Yay direct war with Russia rather than proxy war… Wooo…

I absolutely loved the Pkimin 4 Demo. Having played all 3 prior games, 4 resonated better with more emphasis on exploration and removing the “you have X days” pressure. Made it far more enjoyable personally.

The only thing I really wish they hadn’t eliminated was proper co-op. My son was very disappointed that all I could do was throw rocks and items rather than run around the world with him.

Give them a deadline to start diversifying the supply chain, but absolutely still force change. Silicon is too valuable to be reliant on one or two or even three countries to source.

Oh boy, between the writers strike and actors strike we are in for a year of reality shows being shoved out the door…

Personally if I wanted to interact with Threads, I would make a Threads account. It’s free, I already have 100 accounts across various websites, so what is 1 more.

I think defederation is a wise choice here.

Thank you for the web link, TIL it is much more common than I was aware!

In all seriousness, is the Dev using the build date as the version number…? July 8th, 2023 at 12:34am - vYY.MM.DD-HH.mm

Unusual approach for sure as you have no clue if it is a major version change or minor bug fixes.

This is insanely cool… I don’t know why it never occurred to me that bots on other platforms could work here due to federation, but it makes so much sense. Thanks for sharing!

Well it’s a good thing the max draw of a switch is 18W, and this device has a specific 9V power profile for the switch. The 30W is there to support devices with a faster power delivery spec (such as the Steam Deck).

I would check out the Genki Covert Dock. It is a game changer when bringing the switch outside the house, but absolutely could be plugged in most of the time at home.

Its a wonderful grab and go dock, and they extensively tested switch compatibility - have had zero issues with mine.

Not shocked that the FAST model has unpredictable revenue downturns. But I was surprised to read that Plex has roughly 175 employees - that seems way, way higher than I would have expected.

This is fantastic… Was the color pallet a part of your prompt? They all seem to have tones of red and translucency to them.
