T-man posted:don't get tested unless you get symptoms, have a healthcare job, or need to be super on top of it for health reasons. we have free drive-up/walk-up testing where you don't come within 6ft of anyone and everyone is in full PPE, outdoors, with the walk up areas tarped off and sanitized between everyone, and an oral swab test. when things were looking like they were calming down and protests were happening all the time I was getting tested every couple weeks.

Ruffian Price posted:Knowing Brother exists is effectively a cheat code when you're looking for a printer I bought one almost 10 years ago and have had to change the toner once. Never had any issue with it, printing or scanning, over wifi with like zero setup. Every time it doesn't work I think "ah poo poo, printer is finally biting me in the rear end" and then it's out of paper.

all repetitive, relatively simple work that can be automated should be done by robots, provided that the people whose jobs they replace never have to work again and can enjoy a life of comfortable leisure while humankind's accomplishments perform their work for them

fondue posted:I understand it's supposed to be nonsense but there's lots of actual words in there. "Today" is repeated a lot and pretty in-context for example. This makes it worse than the Prisencolin song for me. My brain is tripping over itself trying to figure out what I misheard, where Prisencolin does sound like gibberish (English-sounding gibberish, but still gibberish).

Hodgepodge posted:well that explains why i like borderlands, i can barely aim in the first place basically all shooters have aim-assist, and on console it's practically a necessity. i had a two hour meeting with a combat tech designer from One Of The Big Multiplayer Shooters that was just him two hours of telling us all the different ways they make it so if you think you should hit something you always do

hobbesmaster posted:oh I thought pvp was meant they do it in pvp too iirc. and yeah I'm talking about controller stuff (your camera/reticule is "magnetic" over enemies/targets, etc) and client prediction/lag compensation stuff (if that guy was there on your screen when you fired, you hit him even though he had started moving already on his screen), but also just like making your shots hit instead of narrowly missing. it doesn't get talked about an awful lot because the whole point is to make you feel better about yourself and have a good time. it doesn't really lower the competitive ceiling, it just raises the floor some. also, it's not the 90s anymore, big name AAA shooters are targeting console first, because they sell more on consoles. tl;dr your games are doing aim assist and it's good

Stunt_enby posted:sounds like you only play dogshit shooters no i was contracted to make a dogshit hyper-realistic shooter on console and despite presenting a large body of evidence about how all console shooters do aim assist (and the principals at the client refusing to play it on console because they couldn't aim with a controller) they insisted on 1:1 movement. it's a dogshit game (it's not out yet) and the only reason i don't mention it by name is i a) don't want to lose my job and b) don't want to be associated with it. we requested to not be listed in the credits

my wife's parents got us a brother laser printer/scanner/copier and so far in like 9 years it's given us these problems: 1) out of paper 2) out of toner (once) 3) paper jam (once and I think this was my fault) 4) today it wouldn't connect to the wifi. then I disconnected my phone from the wifi and tried to connect again and it wasn't connecting, so I rebooted the router and about a minute later the printer just started printing the thing I asked for 5) right at the beginning of WFH i tried printing something, and it turns out that it is not the printer at my office, so when I tried printing to that printer, mine didn't magically intercept the packets and print it itself. rude

withak posted:I'm failing to understand why being able to attach a jpg to a bitcoin is such a huge problem. making an NFT releases more carbon into the atmosphere than you'll ever create in your life because crypto is a system that turns insane amounts of fossil fuels into a 128-byte hash this is so you can have less control over your art as you already do under copyright law

DJ_Mindboggler posted:I've always been under the impression art sales have been money laundering/tax evasion schemes for centuries. NFTs don't seem like anything worse than "normal" art, provided the artist gets the initial sale/profit. Every time a crypto token is created or changes hands, a ridiculous amount of fossil fuels are burned. Burning fossil fuels are the main cause of the changes to the global climate in the anthropocene era. Global temperature increase will kill or displace hundreds of millions of people in the next century.

Colonel Cancer posted:Soo all it takes to make a fancy new AI company is to get some chumps to sign an NDA and be the best mechanical turk minimum wage can buy Yeah, a lot of "AI" is this. Americans don't like talking to "someone in India" in a chat box, but they don't mind talking to an "AI" (wow! the future!) that's actually someone in India (or Missouri) clicking predefined chat responses, and it's much cheaper than developing AI

Taxi Magic predated Uber. I used the sort of successor of it, Curb, but after a few years of Uber/Lyft it became impossible to get a cab basically. This is in Chicago, where taxi medallions used to cost like well over $100k
