They need to add a backdoor

Most office workers are categorized as computer work, which was lobbied to be exempt from paid overtime laws.

They’re already using that one for Israel’s warcrimes

One of the biggest issues running AI is keeping those huge data centers cool.

So let’s build one in a desert

Sure, like most early access things.

I get it. They deserve a lot of criticism. But pretending it’s vaporware when there’s a tangible product you can try - buggy or not - is a really stupid argument.

Which you can Access… Early.

Not even beta or EA.

What do you call the thing you can load up and play right now?

I’m an android user, so not sure if it’s on iOS but I’ve used ReadEra

I’ve loaded epubs into the app ReadEra, which lets you read it like any other novel app or will, in real time, read it to you. It’s not the most natural of speech, but was good enough for my commute when I was in the midst of a compelling book.

Hey, they spent billions on their acquisition of ActiVivendiBethesdaBlizzArcaneKing and they’re gonna Get. Their. ROI.

I can get that for free. There are apps that will read an ebook to you already. The whole point of paying the premium on audible is the superior reading/acting. Not put up with mispronounced words, weird cadence and an inability to handle acronyms

The first brain worm already died.

Of starvation.

…maybe this problem will solve itself?

Dude, Sounds like you were old enough to understand that almost burning down your school intentionally, multiple times, was bad. Bullies or not. I’m not sure why you’re taken aback by someone thinking a little arsonist in training isn’t a good kid.

Hopefully you’re less of a piece of shit now

I never intentionally destroyed expensive electronics to “try to impress” anyone in real life, let alone online (although that didn’t quite exist yet).

So, yeah, I’m sure.

I don’t get it. I was never this stupid as a kid.

Edit: thank you for explaining to me that many of you were that stupid. I guess I never hung around any of you.

I have many issues with the gamer deference to the steam monopoly… But they don’t partake in this particular abuse: taking a cut from the dev for all in game purchases. They only take a (sizeable) cut for the initial game purchase.

Nah. They changed the game. It didn’t used to be like that. You bought a physical copy, you owned that copy. Now they’ve added some bullshit “it’s actually a lease and we can review access at any time we want, fuck consumer” language. Stop defending this nonsense.

All that anti repair garbage going in, also. And game console Companies suing you for modifying your own machine.

Accessing content I paid for isn’t pirating. And corporations have been working in eroding our ownership of the things we pay for years now. You can stop pretending they haven’t
