They’re ensuring their money keeps flowing. This isn’t about altruism - it’s just their Greed incidentally benefits us.
ISPs are trying to mitigate exposure to lawsuits, prevent costly tracking and tracing responsibilities, and make sure customers can keep paying instead of losing their internet privileges (and their internet bills!)
That peasants like us find this favorable is an unintended bonus.
Fair enough, I assumed you gamed on both and stopped for PS5 because they made PSN mandatory and I somehow was unaware.
Can’t justify a gaming PC when PS4 pro was pretty cheap and my gaming hours are not what they used to be
I can justify a not so new console every 5 or so years as they hit my value for money sweet spot, and reduced gaming hours due to life
But the upfront cost for a decent rig to replace consoles entirely is not what I want to use my money for (for now!)
Can’t wait to finally make the jump though!
I’ve had my PS4 pro for years and never had paid PSN, is it required for PS5?
Or just for online play, which I do not care for
I’ve always done protein powder first, then add liquid and doing it the other way around sounds like blasphemy.
Never get any clumps either!
Dry powder on top of a liquid is pure insanity, next you’ll tell me you add milk to a bowl of cereal before the cereal
But from there, there is actually much debate about which order of combining is best. Some say that adding dry into wet leads to clumps of dry ingredients floating in the batter, while others say that actually the opposite, adding wet to dry, leads to, well, clumps.
It would appear that the jury is still out, and everyone despises clumps. But one thing is definitely true: It’s much harder to successfully add dry ingredients into wet ingredients neatly. That order tends to lead to a giant puff of flour wafting toward the ceiling, and settling all over the counters, while a steady, viscous stream of wet ingredients will instead narrowly ribbon its way down into the bowl containing dry ingredients, and nowhere else.
The initial plan had been for the first fab to achieve full production this year, but the timeline was delayed due to several workforce challenges. These included difficulties in finding skilled workers locally, cultural differences between TSMC’s Taiwanese management and American employees, and a shortage of skilled construction workers that slowed the building process. This delay raised concerns about TSMC’s ability to maintain efficiency with its US operations compared to its facilities in Taiwan.
Recent success in trial production has alleviated some of these concerns. TSMC has confirmed that the Arizona project is progressing as planned, although the company has not commented specifically on yield rates.
That’s rough buddy, hope you crack it soon!
Love AC6, but never chased S rank. From what I remember, using certain items (parts/weapons) or the resupply Sherpa lock you to A rank or lower
Other than that, I believe it’s time, damage taken, but may also be kill % and damage output (hidden enemies preventing S? Is that a thing?)
Hopefully someone can give you a better answer!
I get what you’re saying, but the only way to get there is to heavily expand our population so our sphere of influence becomes significant enough that we can exert some control of a situation.
We barely extract the resources we have aside from oil, our population is miniscule, we spend all our money on housing, we stagnate wages, barely manufacture anything and brain drain talent to the US due to lack of wages/opportunities.
Until we reach a critical mass of population and are able to mine + manufacture our resources and establish some form of market specialization, we will remain insignificant on the global scale.
Only if that heat radiation would be evenly distributed - otherwise you would have a gradient which still results in duality of light/dark
There are also places that are relatively empty, which would result in a more typical darkness
Also, speeding everything in existence up to the point of luminance is kind of tricky, what with natural law and all
Didn’t they March in with victory day parade attire in their backpacks instead of a second round of ammunition, or rations?
Said or unsaid, even if the war was going exactly as planned, it’s a shit war that’s executed poorly and will destroy the Russian economy and likely end up losing everything they took, even Crimea.
Less chat bots on Lemmy, and they seem to be easily identifiable and ignored/reported.
Lemmy isn’t quite at that sweet spot where there are enough daily users to get niche content and information from a group of knowledgeable people - but some communities seem to be quite active and helpful already.
I’d love to get to the point where we have a big science/history community and get some non-celebrity AMA’s that have genuine interaction.
I’m more than happy for Lemmy to stay “underground” for a good while, slowly building communities. Once things hit a critical mass and wind up on corporate radar, lemmy will get swarmed and another migration will happen with the same core groups that joined lemmy early.
I feel like his advice is really only applicable if the tasks are received pre-gamified, otherwise it’s just the same task with double the work:
Here’s a list of tasks
but it’s boring and tedious
use the content of the list to create a game with structure that ties individually completed tasks to generate automatic, immediate, output/result/gratification
Begin accomplishing gamified list tasks <---- (should be starting here)
Finish quickly due to gamification.
That whole approach ain’t gonna work on someone with ADHD. If it isn’t received pre-gamified, I’m not gonna do a bunch of extra work before I can start the actual work.
“The hack to being unable to start a task, is to start an additional, more complicated task” - No
“The best way to get an ADHD brain to quickly accomplish simple task lists is by having accomplishments provide immediate results/rewards” - Yes
Isn’t this how Walmart failed in Germany?
Basically the “roadmap to success” used in other countries failed in Germany/Europe mostly because that “success” was only achievable through “human rights abuses” and “violating labor laws” that aren’t troublesome in parts of the world where labour rights are neutered at every opportunity, and large portions of the population people are too impoverished to afford necessities elsewhere
I’ve wondered about this, killing the “company” never really seemed like that big of a deal, as the structure (both physical building/tool/systems and operationally) don’t simply vanish. You still have the knowledge and skillsets in the population, and the supply chains still exist.
The real problem with these “too big to fail” entities is that the people pulling the levers that cause failures never have any consequences whatsoever.
Yeah, you’ll always need banks, energy, transportation, defence etc - operational mechanisms for exchanging goods, building, buying etc will never go away or ‘fail’ - but their operational practices absolutely could and should change
I’m so sick of the wealth class abusing absolutely everything to guarantee themselves more money than they could ever spend.
Honestly, I’ve almost noticed the opposite for about 2 months now - but I only use mobile browser with no account so it may not be a fully accurate experience.
The main reason for this opinion is that I’m Canadian, and until recently the super right wing echo chamber bot farm Canada_Sub, no longer appears on my popular/hot in Canada feed and has been replaced by the far more left wing Onguardforthee.
The ‘Sub’ group went private, then back to public but it’s no longer being pushed on my feed.
In general, I’m definitely seeing less right wing talking points for Canadian content, not sure if that’s due to the overall algorithm, or if admins have been cracking down on bots and the right wing Canadian subreddits don’t have enough traction without them to crack relevance.
Maybe reddit is taking it’s content more seriously with all the AI content scraping they’re about now. Their content won’t mean squat if it’s polluted by bot content like other social media.
I figured there might be something along the lines of being limited to purchases and anything used to service debt would become cash in the eyes of CC company, which does have significantly worse terms
Thank you for the insight!
Yeah, it’s pretty much the idea of kiting but without intention for scamming/lying - just hoping to take advantage of the difference in how interest is applied to debt without breaking the law.
Considering there is still risk involved (bank/CC get paid either way, and miss timing the transaction results in interest payments to them) its more of a risk tolerance approach than scam/fraud, but I don’t doubt the Bank’s diligence in protecting their assets.
Hopefully they can do a debt consolidation, and get a better rate, but with interest rates where they are I am not sure it would be much better than line of credit
Super happy that strong unions in gaming are becoming a thing. Modern games are absolutely massive undertakings, and well made games provide so much more than just a one-off revenue stream that is often ignored by executives as business exists solely for money at the top.
A union made game that’s allowed to take the time it needs to be fully cooked will probably be the most popular/best game in the (any) franchise.
Unfortunately it will probably make 10% the money of some Fallout mobile game they churned out over a weekend that lets you buy a gold vault suit that doesn’t do anything for $4.99.
I don’t have a problem with companies making money off the free to play (and pay to win) model, but it’s sad to see them mistreat the IP that generates a dedicated fan base because the only thing that matters is immediate profit - which will hopefully be heavily mitigated by a union.
Yeah, but you put a quarter in their shopping carts guys! What an organized and crime free society guys.
Their subway is super clean guys we can’t compete with freedom like that guys.
Guys, Tucker said groceries are cheaper than America, guys. We’ve been duped into thinking life is OK guys. But also lowering prices in America is also communism guys. Russia has literally the least communist history guys, America is the real Marxist guys.
Trust me guys, American freedom has nothing on Ruzzian freedom guys. All of the benefits with literally 0 drawbacks guys, it’s insane how little consequences there are to living in Ruzzia guys.
There’s nothing more free than a brutally oppressive police state run by a dictator guys, it’s the secret recipe for freedom guys. Trust me bro.
