Note, I said previously signed NDA. They’re not going to send an NDA and test information at the same time.

But I guess most people don’t have experience with NDAs in the first place, especially not in relation to software testing.

I’m always amazed at some people’s stupidity.

The company isn’t going to randomly send you an invite to a beta that hasn’t been publicly announced. Any external testing at this point would be with people that have extensive experience, and have a previously signed NDA.

This specific thread is talking about transacting business and banking online. You should be more careful to keep your arguments separated. Otherwise you not only look like an idiot but you also prove you can’t multitask for shit.

Are you stupid enough to actually think the Internet is a closed system?

Instead you just have to trust that anything you’re doing is actually with who they claim to be. No encryption means no identity or security guarantee.

And notably, Japan does not have broad fair use copyright exceptions like the US. There are a very specific set of circumstances where it applies, and Generative AI for sure is not one of those.

Please may be useless. Thank you isn’t useless. That tells you that the prior response gave them the answer they were looking for. No response at all could mean that, or that they gave up, or any number of other things.

Why bother with that? That’s gonna be $1000 just for the box alone, and still lock me into the Synology ecosystem.

I can build a NAS with more capability for less than that. Like taking a Jonsbo NAS case and have the freedom to do whatever I want with it, with plenty of space to move everything else I’m running over to that as well. Even their N5 would likely be less expensive, and I’d have room for 12 HDDs and 4 SSDs then.

I had been considering upgrading, my current 4 bay Synology is physically full and running out of storage space. Moving that to a larger Synology box and adding drives would be easiest, basically plug and play.

But now instead I’ll probably just switch to a more traditional NAS instead. Run TrueNAS, or maybe give HexOS a look. If I’m going to have to convert from my current proprietary Synology filesystem anyway I might as well rebuild from scratch. As it is I’ve shifted all the services off the Synology and Docker to a dedicated Proxmox box.

I think they were saying the car software wouldn’t add artificial distances to short trips, where it’s more obvious. Not that the real world measurement is difficult or anything like that.

They’ll still further increase prices citing this as the reason to maximize profits further, knowing consumers don’t actually shop around much.

All these fast food places seem to have forgotten the place they sit in the economy. They’re now the cost of a regular restaurant in many places, and often take just as long now. They just happen to have a drive thru window, and even that’s not a guarantee for many of them anymore.

Why should I pay McDonald’s $15 for a burger meal when I can get the same thing at the same price from a better quality fast food place, or an actual restaurant burger for the same price?

The only reason people are still going there is because they haven’t looked around to realize that other businesses haven’t inflated their new prices under the guise of inflation the same way, and those other options are now a much better deal.

They just tell him what Putin would like to happen. No leverage necessary. Trump admires dictators, it’s clear he wants their approval.

Let’s get that full quoted sentence instead of the two worda out of context that let you post the link you wanted.

And if we look at nature in general, non-monogamous breeding across all species is the most common.

Didn’t even need the whole sentence, just the word before those… “Across all species”.

There’s kind of my point. It is a societal construct, one largely tied to religion and thus easily mapped to religious expansion across the globe.

“Normal” for things like this is meaningless, because it is entirely based in arbitrary beliefs, not anything inherent in being human. It is based entirely on fake limits we’ve imposed on ourselves as a culture, nothing more.

This is really only “abnormal” in a traditional, Christianity-based modern societal culture, and that’s nowhere near the entire world.

By what definition of “normal”? Polygamy is a central part of several religions for instance. And if we look at nature in general, non-monogamous breeding across all species is the most common.

They already added a subscription.

Up front cost cannot cover the ongoing API costs they must be paying for Google Maps. So either this has to be free and just a front end for the same shit, or they’ll still end up net negative.

Why?

Mumblings originally in 2017, job openings at the studio in 2018, officially announced in 2020. October 2022 Andrew Walsh, a senior writer from the Horizon Forbidden West team joined the Fable team. June of 2023 had an in-game trailer.

To be honest, that seems to be a reasonable timeframe, especially given the pandemic in the middle, if you aren’t following the “rush it out the door ASAP, fix it after release, if you ever do” approach.

ASUS has used AI branding for like half of their overclocking and control software for at least a decade.

Well before the current AI buzz.

A reminder that tariffs are actually a thing.

A 25% tariff on a $600 item is $150. Even taking into account the tariff applying to the import cost instead, sales margins aren’t the majority of the cost. The tariff is applying to the wholesale cost to import the product, sales margins are then added on top of that.

I haven’t seen a single thing from AMD about whether the MSRP was set taking the tariffs into account or not. If not, then that should only apply to the devices imported before that went into effect. And everything after would be at least 25% more, more like 30% taking into account sales margins are based AFTER import costs.
