T-man posted:99% of the processing capacity is running a horrendously ineffective bitcoin miner and you have to rent it from musk if you want to use it for other purposes. (in addition to the 50k implant and the 20k he charges for installation) remember that the original premise of The Matrix was not that the machines were harvesting living humans for their raw energy, which is silly if you think too much about it but that they keep humans around because growing human beings and using their spare processing cycles was an insanely efficient way to create more computational power, which is cool but maybe you have to think about it too much for an action movie my point is, the actual future is going to be enslaving human minds in a Matrix in order to harness their brain power to mine bitcoins

Ruffian Price posted:lmao at tech companies that talk big how agile they are, how quickly they respond to the changing market, only to yell "no! you're doing it wrong!" at the majority of their users Maybe 15 years ago tech was about nimbly responding to new demands of users, now it's about consolidating power and manipulating people to monetize them better. Tech companies don't even pretend they care about what users want anymore, it's completely shifted the other way to the companies telling users they are doing it wrong until they change or leave.

i say swears online posted:uber should add loot boxes in some way If they ever get self-driving cars going every 100th or so fare should have a little gift box for the passenger (like a $10 gift card or maybe a hat or something) and every 10,000th or so fare should have a sweet ~$100 prize like a quality, fashionable jacket with Uber branding or some poo poo. The cool prizes will go viral and a small number of people with too much money and/or addictive personalities will start buying fares just for the chance of getting a prize, tapping into the same class of "whales" that game app developers now cash in on. Uber, you can buy this original idea for a mere $200,000, please PM for details.

Facebook was really pissing off the town with that landing station because they're known for pristine beachfront, the entire town is zoned residential and small enough that they don't have traffic lights, and they don't even have cell phone service. The two adjacent lots are also unoccupied and since it's a logistically ideal place for cable landings, it sets a precedent allowing tech companies to take over the place.

Don't need rules for that. I mean deckers are the archetype, and the fluff for them does talk about this, but in general you shouldn't print rules you don't need in pen and paper RPGs. Mage the Ascension had a rote for Big Red Titles (I think they called it Branding) in either the Virtual Adept tradbook or the Virtual Web sourcebooks

GWBBQ posted:This gets even better now that we know what an incredibly massive breach this was, affecting 18,000 customers including the Federal Reserve, Treasury Department, every branch of the US military, National Labs including Los Alamos, and 18000-33000 others. The cause? The SolarWinds update software was compomised in March after the attacker discovered the password to the update server was "solardinws123" and no, I'm not joking. They're pointing against Russia and APT29, but every major government is constantly doing this stuff to anyone they can.
