such games can only get private servers

Yes, but those are rarely a thing for most live service games. Unless someone is working on a reimplementation of the entire server side, there's no point in offering or downloading pirate copies.

There is - albeit a dwindling - community that does reimplement entire backends for mmo games. Look up the ragezone forums. I grew up around Mu Online private servers. And I'm sure in time a private server for HD 2 will appear if arrowhead don't release one themselves :)

Wouldn't that be insider trading?


No: SoftBank bought Arm in 2016, then refloated in 2023. They have good lawyers and a lot money.


This ram price spike is literally part of the currency debasing


Why does everyone pretend like prices are not post-pandemic gouged still?

Absolutely prices should adjust appropriately… once… oh never mind


Same with Apple


Apple wasn't a name change, though: that was its name from the beginning. Slightly different situation. (Yes, they changed their name from Apple Computer Company to Apple Inc. once they started making smartphones, but that's not the same because the part of their name that everyone called them, Apple, was kept unchanged). Their logo was always an apple with a bite out of it, their first computer was the Apple I (first one of theirs I ever used was the Apple II)... they really leaned into the name, and made it part of their identity. Which isn't the case with Alphabet or Wise.


>I don't understand how it's legal for companies to name themselves as common words like "Alphabet". It's not only confusing, it's arrogant as hell

When I said Apple I was referring to this part


Your error was arguing about the tax invoice being a bill. Corporations don't like when you argue. Don't matter if you are right or wrong.


craft the blades onsite?


They're giant single-piece layered composite structures. Crafting the blade onsite means you have to build then unbuild a giant plant next to each wind farm.


You could transport your plant in a huge airpl.. nevermind.


> Lundstrom says 3D-printed blades will never happen, since it would require a large, sophisticated manufacturing facility to be built at every wind farm.


I assumed this was already being done for the massive offshore models. Setup some kind of minimal plant on shore so you minimize transportation to the boats.


Is this for paid accounts too? If you prepay for 5 years and get lost at sea for 3 years, should you expect your proton to still work?


It's for free accounts, only.


All that watercooler chat, network effects and so on, how do you log it in the time tracker? Or is that unpaid work?


>There's also a growing sentiment online that using AI to cheat/lie is "fair" because they think companies are using AI to screen candidates. It's not logically consistent

How is it not logically consistent?


Because it's a nonsensical reduction and false equivalence.

It's like if you saw a headline that some grocery stores were price fixing, so you decide it's only fair if you steal from your local grocery store. One bad behavior does not justify another in a different context. Both are wrong. It's also nonsensical to try to punish your local grocery store for perceived wrongs of other grocery stores.

That's why it's such a ridiculous claim: Two wrongs don't make a right and you don't even know if the people you're interviewing with are the same as the people doing the thing you don't like.


>It's like if you saw a headline that some grocery stores were price fixing, so you decide it's only fair if you steal from your local grocery store.

That's a false equivalence on your part. Real equivalence would be to find out that the store decided to keep zero tills manned and forced you to do the work yourself and go the self checkout. You go do the self checkout and keep a few items extra as a form of payment for the work you did. This would be the real equivalence


Using AI to review and improve your CV would make sense, just as you can ask a person for help and review.

But not using it for creating lies and pretending you're skilled in areas where you're not.

Or would you say that if HR uses humans to screen CVs, you can cheat by using a friend's CV instead (using a human, like HR)


>How is it not logically consistent?

i used my words to speak to the candidate, so they think its fair game to use their words to lie.

screening using AI could be a totally legitimate usage of AI depending on how its done. cheating/lying has no chance of being legitimate. just like speaking can potentially be used to lie.

most people here arent straight up vilifying the use of AI, just certain uses of it.


ThinkPads use 20V chargers. USB-C supports 20V power delivery. What's the efficiency of power adapters back then compared to current gen USB-C chargers?
