The claim has a non linked URL where they compare the performance of a core i3 6th gen from a decade ago (presumably with 4gb ram) with a core ultra 5 just out (presumably with quadruple the RAM)

Left: I opened a sealed roll of a filament purchased in 2018 and I printed that rose

Right: I dried that filament in the creality dryer overnight and sent the print again

This pic was taken on 10th April. After drying the filament I put it back in storage and I forgot about it until it exploded today

A while ago I bought a roll of transparent petg "the filament" by spectrum. Wonderful, it printed great, shiny, smooth. I loved it.

Then I took advantage of the promotion on the Bambu lab website "4 rolls are discounted + free shipping" and I bought their transparent petg.

I opened the vacuum bag, loaded immediately in the printer and it strings and pops. Settings are correct as the slicer has a dedicated profile for this roll.

Their website says "warning: dry before using" - they mean that it comes already too moist from the factory?

The game was launched in 2019 so instead of fixing the bug they just pulled it from the store. Refunds only for who bought the DLC up to ~~3 weeks~~ 1 year ago. Sucks to be a paying user.

Edit: LOL I thought it was still 2024

ads instead of useful info

It rotates and after some minutes shows the departure times. But if you're in hurry you want the time immediately, not after a while

Even if the ducks killed weren't from a protected species, anyone in Italy is required to have a hunting permit, even on private lands. This permit is almost impossible to get for a foreigner because it's an exam with a lot of extremely specific questions in Italian

While in the past doing a reprint of a book, movie or game was expensive and wasn't worth if something wasn't popular, now selling something on a digital store has only a small initial cost (writing descriptions and graphics) and after that there's nothing more. So why publishers are giving up on free money?

I thought to those delisting reasons:

  1. Artificial scarcity. The publisher wants to artificially drive more sales by saying that's a limited time sale. For example that collection that included sm64. super Mario Galaxy and super Mario sunshine on switch. The greedy publisher essentially said "you only have 6 months to get this game, act now" and people immediately acted like "wow, better pay $60 for this collection of 3 old games, otherwise they'll be gone forever!” otherwise they would have been like "uhm, i liked super Mario sunshine but $60 for a 20 years old game? I'll think about that"

  2. Rights issues. For books the translation rights are often granted for a limited time; same for music in games; or if it's using a certain third party intellectual property. Publisher might decide that the cost for renewing the license is too high compared to projected sales, while the copyright owner instead still wants an unrealistic amount of money in a lump sum instead of just royalties. Example is Capcom DuckTales remastered, delisted because Disney is Disney.

  3. Not worth their time. Those sales need to be reported to governments to pay taxes and for a few sales, small publishers might prefer to close business rather to pay all the accounting overhead. Who's going to buy Microsoft Encarta 99?

  4. Controversial content: there are many instances of something that was funny decades ago but now is unacceptable. Publisher doesn't want to be associated with that anymore

  5. Compatibility issues. That game relied on a specific Windows XP quirk, assumed to always run as admin, writing their saves on system32, and doesn't work on anything newer. The code has been lost and they fired all the devs two weeks after the launch, so they're unable to patch it.

In all those cases (maybe except 5), the publisher and the copyright owners decided together to give up their product, so it should be legally allowed to pirate those products.

If I want to read a book that has been pulled from digital stores and is out of print, the only way to do is:

  1. Piracy (publisher gets $0 from me)
  2. Library (publisher gets $0 from me)
  3. Buying it from an ebay scalper that has a "near mint" edition for $100 (publisher gets $0 from me)

And say that I really want to play super Mario sunshine. Now the only way is to buy it used, even if they ported it to their latest game console and it would literally cost them nothing to continue selling it. But if I buy it used, Nintendo gets the exact same amount of money that they would if I downloaded it with an "illegal" torrent.

In short: they don't want the money for their IP? Then people that want to enjoy that IP should be legally allowed to get it for free

Meanwhile, ai companies that are doing exactly the same are allowed to rack up billions in revenue.

The content of this "important notification" is that to remind me that on January 18, 2025, they will delete the data of Google Currents, because they killed it. I even didn't know what that product was.

Biden stressed his belief that Israel was the victim dating back to the Oct. 7 attack

Yes, we are not disputing that. Israel definitely was the victim at the time. But that doesn't mean they're allowed to kill so many innocent people that we now have lost the count

In the github issues the dev is aware of this but he's not completely enraged, just mildly infuriated that the design is too similar and he's politely asking to have a different design.

From the history in the wayback machine i don't see any "parking" page between the switch, so my guesswork is that the dev has been approached with an offer like "we like that domain, we would like to buy it for $$$", unaware that they would copy the design like that in order to achieve maximum deception of users

Can see easily that they are using reddit for training: "google it"

those tables usually are wrong or misleading, i don't like them.

Edge for example has the 3rd party cookie blocking and it works ok, so why it's "no" and not "somewhat" or similar?

A source that's not the daily mirror: https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-owners-bill-battery-damaged-ev-scotland-weather-2023-10

Daily mirror was already a low quality source, now they even use "ai" to "embellish" the story (read: add fake details).

They added this to the bottom:

An AI tool was used to add an extra layer to the editing process for this story

The verge is completely wrong in this headline.

They wrote "are now available to buy".

No. It's a Kickstarter that might ship next year. The headline should have been "Bike tires made from NASA’s bizarre shape-shifting metal might be available to buy next year if the crowdfunding campaign isn't a scam"

What's the point of primary and secondary backups if they can be accessed with the same credentials on the same network

100% of the ads I see on Twitter today are dropshipping scams, while in the pre-musk era they were highly targeted to my job and interests to the point that if there wasn't the "ad" tag I couldn't distinguish that.

They can't cost the same for the advertiser, a generic dropshipping scam that targets everyone must be cheap
