Didn’t calculate the price by weight. Just took the number from the 6" cube here and extrapolated from that since it was the easiest math.

The 5’ cube is 1000 times the size of the 6" cube and the 6" cube is $15k. The prices don’t scale up linearly though. The smaller cubes are better value by weight.

Assuming that’s about 5x5’, and going by the price of the first tungsten cube found on Google, this would be worth about 15 million dollars. Decent prize of you could move 150,000lb.

My office laptop will never shut down normally if I have anything to say about it. If it’s 4pm they aren’t taking any more of my electricity until 8am tomorrow.

99% of the time you can just spoof the user agent and it’ll work perfectly fine. They only restrict it because they won’t hire enough developers to provide support for multiple browsers.

How does the title victimize Google?.. It literally just summarizes the article, and then in the first sentence of the actual article they flat out call Google an illegal monopoly.

Honestly, it never got big enough for that to even matter. It just lost the content war to the PS2 Xbox and GameCube. Shenmue, Jet Set Radio and Sonic Adventure aren’t exactly enough great exclusives to justify buying the non-Halo machine or the console built by the company that “won” the previous generation.

AI coding assistance is good for the same stuff you would have put through a tool assisted service previously anyway. Regex and other forms of complex pattern matching are way easier for a computer than a human. The only difference now is that you can just write out the problem plainly instead of in tiny chunks.

I recently had to write a script to parse an nginx log for unique entries with very specific criteria that could vary depending on other criteria, and then do some crap to manipulate that data and use portions of it for API calls to other more complicated shit. Figuring out how to properly parse that data manually would be mind numbing. AI does it instantly.

That’s not to say that the entire concept as a marketing ploy isn’t complete bullshit, but if it were just used for the crap it’s good at, it would actually be a net benefit to society.

You underestimate the capacity for corporate pettiness

The self checkout line in a Walmart after an especially hot summer day.

Less than half, but let’s be honest here. It’s because she has more money than him : P

People still unironically use chrome?

Rolling releases for issues with newer hardware and the AUR. That’s really all there is to it. There are plenty of ways to be “unique”, but at the the of the day, nobody else is ever really going to care.

If I bought myself a 6 year old Thinkpad, I’d put Mint over Arch on it in a heartbeat. For the desktop that’s constantly upgrading, it gets Arch because it has the fastest releases and biggest community to troubleshoot stuff.

Louis Rossmann getting a new piece of YouTube content again…

The Hell Pig looks like that picture of how an alien would envision a hippo based solely on its skeleton. It was probably just a really big normal looking pig thing.

You could feasibly fit it into the actual lore and make it “balanced” in a sense. The party finds a relic with the power to rewind time by a few moments. Becomes inert for a few days/play sessions after use.

Then there is actually the potential for complete failure (the relic holder dies instantly before being able to activate it), but they still get a sense of safety that propels them into stupid dangerous stuff all the time.

Simple solution is to not pay Netflix and just pirate their content. They go out of their way to make the experience worse for paying customers on a regular basis. Sonarr+Jellyfin on an old computer with no video card and you’ve got a better Netflix where your content doesn’t just magically disappear or fail to play on some devices.

11 out of 24… I would have done better just clicking randomly

As with any invisible or otherwise difficult to monitor birth control method, this is really only for people in dedicated relationships.

It goes both ways. A man shouldn’t trust a women he just met to be on birth control. A women should have the same reservations.

This is for people who can trust a long term partner, and who wouldn’t be destroyed by the failure of the product. And that’s still a huge market.

These things were NEVER fucking left open at the park near me. Could wait there the entire day and the same fucking kid would be using it the entire time, completely oblivious to your attempts to get him to move.

I swear, I probably only touched the thing once when i was a child. I came back with my daughter a few years ago and nobody was giving it a second glance. Used my kid as an excuse to finally get to play with the thing…
