They no longer seem to sneak a newsletter subscription through the backdoor when claiming one of their giveaways. That’s refreshing.
I was always wondering in what world 'I want this free game' meant 'Yes, I DID change my mind: I now DO want to receive spam'.

Quoting: GerarderloperEA just going to keep breaking this shit. Their like Bethesda, every update MUST break compatibility! Like its the whole goal of the updates to begin with!

Just recently I asked AI to write a snippet for an insertion sort. It provided a loop that iterated to array[-1].
I thought I’ll play along playing dumb and wrote something along the lines of 'Oh no! It crashes!'
The tool was adamant that I check if my array is sane while never catching it’s mistake in trying to touch array[-1]. I let this go on for a full hour (not joking) before finally caving in telling it that it’s iterating to array[-1].

While the AI was apologetic for not catching the bug it would from that point on only refer to the snippet as 'your code' and straight up deny responsibility for the snippet it provided. 😅

I was reading this on Christmas Eve, and I am certain it was up way before then…

Quoting: PyronickGreat hardware, but I'm sticking to open hardware projects like Ploopy. Once you get used to the freedom of open firmwares like QMK or ZMK on your peripherals, it's hard to go back to closed ecosystems. It is too bad, though, that open firmwares for wireless mice are still pretty much non-existent or broken.
Hey!! 👋🏻 I thought I would be the only one in this thread. LOVE my nano trackball, and am looking forward to build their headphones, too.
Building the headphones would be just for the fun of building it though as I am happy with my beyerdynamic.

We should start embracing what cannot be stopped anyway
That’s good advice! We should apply it to more parts in our life. Let’s say, for the sake of an argument…

It’s like saying

You know, the bible depicts its fair share of incest, bestiality, mutilations, rape and pretty much all other forms of violence.
Why is this filthy pulp still sold?
