Not just any businesses either, he bankrupted a casino… TWICE

It takes a special kind of stupid to bankrupt a fucking casino, twice

I have all sorts of projects and tasks I jump between depending on my ever shifting priorities. And some projects of mine can spawn 20+ tabs on their own.

I have hundreds of tabs open at any given time

One word.

Right‽ This is ridiculously stupid when you can download the entirety of Wikipedia in a single package and parse it to your hearts desire

Ok maybe the flushing part is a bit overkill and mostly a joke, but a toilet that can deliver notifications like if it’s clogged for example before you use it and make it worse would have fantastic utility IMO

I mean, you could just use smarter stuff that’s open source and has local API, or do what I do and build your own devices where you can ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Yea yea yea, call me when he reveals a Stargate or something lmao

I think you meant !Television@lemm.ee instead of !movies@lemm.ee lol

We’ve been able to make that for a few years now (I’m still here, so I must have missed the Klingon Bird of Prey train off themis damn planet) but it was expensive

But just last month they figured out how to do it more cheaply so it might be coming… someday

Current methods of making TAlOx are expensive and complicated, requiring high-powered lasers, vacuum chambers, or large vats of dangerous acids. That may change thanks to research co-authored by Filipino scientists from the Ateneo de Manila University.

Instead of immersing entire sheets of metal into acidic solutions, the researchers applied microdroplets of acidic solution onto small aluminum surfaces and applied an electric current. Just two volts of electricity—barely more than what’s found in a single AA household flashlight battery—was all that was needed to transform the metal into glass-like TAlOx.

for synthetic and push it out to 5k+ miles.

Haha yeah

Hides my car always pushing 10k miles

I’m confused, that seems to imply there’s other ways to watch Star Trek?

Yea, if you update your game with new stuff that causes performance issues on older things, then just put up a warning about it and call it good

Sometimes these companies do way too much

Oh no! Anyways, what’s everyone’s Friday plans?

How refreshingly honest, id like a ticket on @Skunk@jlai.lu airlines please

Grok: “…oh fuck this guy, what a pos”

What Sony could do is patch restrictive DRM software into all their games that checks the hardware info and fails to boot if you’re on “an xbox”.

They’d definitely do that, they’ve already used what amounted to a Rootkit for DRM in the mid-2000s, so your idea wouldn’t even be the worst they’ve done lolol

It’s called “context”. That’s like someone saying “cringe” on a post about volunteering to punch Nazis, I wouldn’t need further explanation to determine someone to be, at a minimum, a Nazi sympathizer because of context

I’m open to hearing how else I could interpret the comment “cringe” on a post about donating flash drives for piercing the NK dictatorship digital wall
