“Those leopards have got to run out of faces eventually. I’m sure they’ll be done before they make it to me though.”

Is this the first step to them winning the Fast Food Wars?

I always love it when people refer to “this ending” or “this scene” as if everyone is supposed to know what this blurry still is supposed to be from. Even if it was a video, that still doesn’t tell me what it’s from.

Edit: to all the haters…

Saying ‘what kind of an idiot doesn’t know about the Yellowstone supervolcano’ is so much more boring than telling someone about the Yellowstone supervolcano for the first time.

This isn’t related to the question, but:

Excuse me, is that the promotional art for Total Overdose, a game I had only assumed had been lost to time and everyone forgot existed (not that it was good)?

Approaching my first 1000 in Elite:Dangerous. Got myself a Fleet Carrier and a Squadron and I feel like I’ve just started the mid-game. It’s a seemingly endless game world.

You might be listening to the wrong jazz.

Tom Scott did a video on it. In all honesty, there are a number of things about this system that I just don’t see working well in the long term, but it’s an interesting prototype nonetheless.

If you’re willingly handing over training data to a company at this point, you should pretty much expect that this will be the fate of your data. Either this, or it will be sold.

None of these companies respect your data. They just want profit at the expense of everything else.

There’s a fun skit based on this: https://youtu.be/pOlcRFwEmc0

As a fallback, I would love a set of these with thin white and black outlines. I can imagine these working 95% of the time, but occasionally, I might need to add some extra contrast for visibility.

This was my original introduction, which left me incredibly confused as I’d not seen 2001 at the time either. In retrospect, it’s hilarious.

Even still, it’s at least not yet another plastic-looking 3D style. I’m not so much of a purist. If it can fool me, I’m okay with it as long as humans are doing the work and getting paid for it.

I remember when the first round of capacitive buttons showed up. I can’t find it anymore, but there was an article on a fan site for MP3 players I read in 2010 that showed the comparisons of physical vs capacitive vs touchscreens and capacitive buttons only had negatives. It baffled me when they just never stopped using them on things. That article was burned into my mind and now I see that logic has spilled into a thousand other industries.

This animation looks so good, if only because it’s been so goddamn long since I’ve seen high-quality American 2D animation. I really hope this releases well and shows studios that 2D animation doesn’t have to be dead.

The worst thing the car industry ever did was turn our vehicles into mobile living rooms.

I still stand firm that driving should be mildly uncomfortable and loud with the intention of keeping you focused.

I had an 8.04 CD that started me on my journey. I remember the boot sound to this day and miss my GTK 2+Compiz+Emerald setup. You can sort of still get there today, but with little to no modern themes being made, it’s hard to justify.

I’ve even worked on a BMW door panel and they’re not the worst. Most difficulty is in dealing with the inevitable clips that you’ll probably need to replace a couple of and the black pasty goo they use to stick the plastic on the door.

Those fast track lines at the airport I recently read somewhere is supplied by a private entity, which means all those face scans are just added into a database for future surveillance.

I tend to take a playlist of songs I enjoy and enable the radio feature. It keeps a healthy mix of things I’m already comfortable with and stuff that’s in the same ballpark. I’m pretty settled into my listening taste, so I rarely go for much outside that. Other than that, it’s direct friend recommendations.

It’s the same persons left and right hand.
