If I’m not mistaken the overwhelming majority of elons wealth is in company stock (including his other companies, not just Tesla)

It might need to fall pretty damn low for him to be able to afford all outstanding shares.

Yeah yeah

Fool me once

Good for pixelfed

Yeah, it’s an impressive tech showcase for such a small Dev team… But it’s pretty lackluster as a tiktok replacement.

That verify email will come, but don’t expect a mountain of quality content once it does

Stupid. There are already alternatives. Nobody wants them.

No matter how good you make it, now that tiktok was taken from people any app will just be the tiktok replacement being forced on us instead of a worthwhile social media unto itself.

It’s not like twitter which sold its own soul and was subsequently run into the ground. I think any attempt to replace tiktok will just piss people off, especially if they’re clearly American corporate enterprises.

A chain that has historically built its business in being a cool place to hang out, now quadrupling down on being the lamest, most obnoxious place on earth…

We’ll see how that goes

Could just be a codename, but a bg3/dos style game set in Arthurian legend would be sick

LA does not have a bigger population than Georgia, and probably not Michigan and a few others. Map is bs.

Still, a shitload of people in trouble rn

Except monopoly is never fun at any point in the game

Possibly dressed her up similar to the character photo scanned then retopologized, touched up, etc. Could be they just made a basic female model and used it as a foundation.

Possible she did some mocap as well.

Big thing is it’s easier to make mocap look natural on a model if the model and mocap actor are the same person. Though for a game this stylized I’m not sure it would matter.

Telebotomy perhaps

Maybe. But that means a lot more diy, and once your done with buying a pi, screen, battery, and all the 3d prints, you’re in about $160 anyway.

It’s much smaller, lighter, and cheaper than a steam deck. Seems good for emulating retro games. Definitely a niche product, but cool.

The prestige behind the thinkpad brand specifically predates lenovo. They bought it from IBM in '05. AFAIK they’ve always been seen as reliable, well built laptops, albeit a bit pricier.

As far as spyware, with win11 being what it is your options are install Linux or live with it no matter which manufacturer you go with.

I really wish it was easier to open up a TV, rip out all the compute and replace it with a custom display driver. Someone could unironically make a decent amount of money selling diy TV stupidification kits

You just have to deal with all the smart garbage every time you turn it on

Sure, as long as the VPN itself is secure. Strong passwords/keys, etc. A VPN itself can be a potential security risk, as if it’s compromised an attacker can tunnel traffic directly into a network straight past a firewall.

The risks can definitely be mitigated, but if someone’s asking for an ELI5 on KVMs, then it may be best to stay away until they have a better understanding of IT infrastructure altogether.

ELI5:

It lets you remotely control a computer.

It’s different (arguably better) than remote connection software because it is a separate device that basically just forwards your keyboard & mouse inputs. This means that you can control the remote device even if it’s powered off or not able to boot properly, and you can configure the BIOS remotely too.

You could call someone on-site to connect the KVM to a server, but KVMs, while expensive by regular person standards, are pretty cheap as enterprise hardware goes. So some organizations just keep separate KVMs plugged into all critical hardware all the time.

Worth noting here that KVMs are potentially a quite high security risk.

Their website is probably light on details because “KVM” is fairly common industry parlance. If you normally work with this stuff then just hearing those 3 letters tells you most of what you need to know.

Edit: high, not Hugh

There’s a scene in evangelion where the mc jerks it over an unconscious asuka (the character on the video card in the background) and nuts all over his hand.

He covered his hand in thermal paste as a reference.

It’s a (intentionally) creepy scene and extremely off-color for a repair tech to send this to a customer, IMO. Good thing it’s probably fake.

Can they sue crunch fitness next?
