Maybe I am just an old nostalgic fart but I have games that I own that are over 30 years old that I still have access to and regularly play and that’s how I like it.

I personally don’t at all see any benefit to the consumer that subscription based gaming provides. Arguably you can access more games for less money, but if video streaming is anything to go by (increased prices, less content across more and more services, ads creeping back in etc), that value proposition won’t last long.

I don’t think there are that many bots here because of [reason 1], [reason 2], and [reason 3].

And I for one am certainly not a “goes against OpenAI use policy".

I am a plastic digesting mega organism apparently!

Lots of good and relevant reading here:

I always liked the term “classic shooter”.

We must move forward, not backward, upward, not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

I don’t know if I am right but I am of the opinion that Cybersecurity should be considered a mastery branch on top of basic engineering skills. But it feels like there are so many Cybersecurity experts who do not understand enough about the underlying engineering concepts to be effective in their role.

Ha, I was going to say she sounds too smart for him!

It generates the blurst of code!

“Don’t cry, you can run bash on Windows 10 now”… pure awesomeness! Haha

This is again just asking which movie you prefer, with extra steps!

Cook and eat good food, including liver.

This seems oddly specific for Maslow.

Well maybe if she had shown more interest in his pull requests, he wouldn’t be off forking other repos!

A lot of people posting that the threat of theft or interference will put a halt to drone delivery, but I wonder if that will really be a problem when looking at the the return on investment. A lot of people have said similar things about self service checkouts but industry keeps pushing on.

The cost of drone delivery will shrink dramatically over time (labour and energy being the two big ones) especially if you compare it to equivalent service levels (e.g. same day delivery) so much so that companies would likely easily absorb the costs - if it all works of course.

Is it really that different to the vrooming of cars that we have grown accustomed to?

HA, I read the title and thought “what is going on? I love my seat warmers” - I completely overlooked the word subscription because it is absolutely absurd that there would be an ongoing cost to the consumer for a feature that provides no ongoing cost to the manufacturer.

This is one of the most educational and entertaining reads on the internet, if you are into that kind of thing:
