People seem to have forgotten 3D-TVs. There was a time where you couldn't get a high-end TV without 3D functionality, it was going to be the future after all. Was it any good? No, but boy did the manufacturers try to push it. Look how that went.

Welp, that's an opinion one can have. whatyoujustsaid.gif

Not really. These brands are hollow shells of former glory. Their output is cynical trash designed by committees to extract maximum revenue, soulless and worthless. They can all burn to the ground for all I care.

That's the way to do it. Citric acid is cheap and basically tasteless, very good for decalcifying.

Yes, these poor souls.

I'm just gonna say it: only absolute idiots still use ChatGPT at this point.

Bro discovered social structures.

That's literally how it works. If you run a store selling/licensing media you get to decide what's on the shelves and what isn't.

Going anywhere near any of Trump's businesses is a guarantee for losses and regret. In Trump's world there are only very few winners, basically only the ones paying for pardons. And it'll be interesting to see if even this is worth it in the long run.

Was ist denn bitte "derwesten" für ein Ding?

It is available on other, quite popular, stores. GOG and itch.io are household names in PC gaming.

I haven't heard about the details, what's your source on that?

As far as I recall, the developer said he didn't know the actual reason for the ban.

I convinced my teenage son to install bazzite on his gaming laptop to avoid Windows 11 and he likes it!

The best part: he wanted some game and worked his way through using Wine and Bottle to make it work, all by himself. He told me he feels "a bit like a hacker" now.

Can't tell you how proud this made me.

Ich habe noch nie ein Paket von DPD wirklich direkt in die Hand bekommen.

Gestern war es mal wieder soweit. Ich sah den DPD Lieferwagen anfahren, der Fahrer hielt auch an, nahm mein Paket - ich war voller Hoffnung - sah, dass ich nicht im Erdgeschoss wohne und zog wieder ab. Ich habe ihm noch nachgerufen, er hat es einfach ignoriert. Ein paar Stunden später dann die Meldung, dass ich nicht anzutreffen war und mein Paket im Shop liegt. Der Shop ist natürlich nicht irgendwo in der Nähe, das wäre ja zu einfach. Zwei Bus- und drei U-Bahn-Stationen, schon kann ich meine Sendung abholen.

Ich finde das einfach dreist.

Und es ist immer so mit DPD, schon seit ich zurück denken kann. Wenn ich etwas bestelle und dann die Lieferankündigung von DPD kommt, weiß ich bereits, worauf ich mich einstellen kann.

I did a very simple search for this year's holidays in my German state and whoo boy did it get a lot wrong! Left it's the ai slop, right are the correct answers. Obviously I've since disabled it completely to save the screen real estate.

 

If Valve really wanted to make a splash, they could release a desktop version of SteamOS in October, right when support for Windows 10 ends. For additional damage, they could bundle in Half-Life 3. Just imagine the coverage this would get.
