Have we really gone from commenting based on intelligently reading the article, to reading only the title, to commenting just based on the generic stock image thumbnail?

If you want to sell the game cheaper, then you lower the price on all plaforms. Valve doesn’t dictate prices, publishers do.

Steam does take a 30% cut when you sell a game on steam, but if you don’t want to pay that, and still provide a steam key, you can sell the game on your platform for the same list price and pocket the 30% yourself. Valve gives keys out for free for this sole purpose.

If you want to sell the game cheaper, and not provide a steam key for your user, you are free to do so at any price too.

The thing you aren’t allowed to do is sell the game for cheaper than on Steam, and still give a free Steam key with the game.

Also, provides free steam keys for devs they can sell or give out freely elsewhere.

Imagine if Apple allowed people to sell their apps on their own website, but you’d still get the license on the app store, without Apple getting their 30% cut? Valve literally does this.
Basically the only rule is that the prices should be the same on all platforms.

The DNT header was supposed to do this, but no legislation ever required anyone to respect it and it got dropped. Global Privacy Control seems to be the new try, hopefully it goes better.

Enough for Nano Dimensions to sell them for 42 million to stratasys even though they paid 116 million for it just last year.

Instructions unclear, I made gravy with shoe polish.

Theres overvalued with catastrophic governance, and then there’s everything Elon Musk is attached to. For example, Tesla is valued at 1.6 trillion - more than the next 29 car companies combined - and recently agreed an almost 1 trillion pay package which would be something like $130 000 per every Tesla ever sold.

The AI doesn’t need to be better than the professional it’s replacing, it just needs to be more cost effective than the barely capable outsourced worker the jobs was going to be given anyway.

My guess is between four days and shortly. .

Apparently it does get fairly similar performance in benchmarks, just not it games, which could indicate that the hardware is there and it’s just the drivers that are lacking.

Which often is the case with Chinese electronics - often brilliant hardware with absolutely terrible software haphazardly slapped on, and support dropped before the thing even shipped.

I could have gotten access to all the required apartment paperwork, cleaned and taken the photos, written up an advertisement, answered the calls & emails, set up the showings, negotiated with people, figured out the bank paper work, and finalized the sale all by myself.
Just like I could have cooked instead of ordering food someone else made for me, or not have my new washing machine delivered, carried inside and installed, and instead spend an evening doing it all myself.

But I’d really rather not, I’ll pay someone else to do those things, and spend my time doing something I actually find fun. But yeah, I guess they are all exploiting my laziness and unwillingness to do these things myself.

I was glad to pay the 2% commission so that all I had to do was tell them I had my late grandmothers apartment for sale, and then roughly a month later get a buy offer to sign.

If a US military action lasts longer than 60 days, congress gets to vote on it to make it a war, or force it to stop. Trump is arguing that the ceasefire means it has stopped, and therefore hasn’t gone over that limit. And also that if they now start fighting again, it’s not the same conflict, so they get another 60 days.

Technically it should be possible to get to 80-90% at full charging power, assuming the car/battery and charger are properly designed (read: cooled) - most are not, so the charging quickly slows down to prevent overheating.

After that lithium charging (should) transition from Constant Current to Constant Voltage charging, which slowly tapers down to zero, and it usually takes forever to finish.

Hah, I did exactly the same. Mine arrived with a broken fan, but it didn’t matter because it never kicked in anyway. I used it as a Gameboy emulator for quite a while, it was actually small enough to hold like a handheld with QWAS acting as a Dpad.
Learning how to type with that tiny keyboard was a fun challenge.

The amounts being talked about are slightly higher than just regular wages, as they are asking for a bonus pool of 15% of operating profit and removal of caps for the bonuses. For SK Hynix, that recently negotiated the bonus pool to be 10% of their profit, that means they are expected to be paying each worker roughly a $450000 bonus this year, with it being estimated to rise to over $900000 next year.
Which means the bonus alone results in an hourly wage of $240-470/hour.

Would be really interesting to know what those kinds of bonuses do for the job market, where you could be earning ten to twenty times more money doing the same kind of work just because you happen to do it for SK Hynix, or possibly soon, Samsung.

If microslop has 1 billion to build a datacenter in Kenya, they can take a fraction of a percent of that budget and slap enough solar panels on it to generate all the electricity they would ever need. It’s fucking Kenya.

We tend not to vote in the first place, especially when votes are the most expensive in the entire EU - cheapest was 0,13€ in Denmark, while it was 1,5€/vote here. Someone calculated that based on some previous years with 10 max votes, you could easily get the first place with just something like 1000 people voting the max amount. (And possibly even a lot fewer, as it was max 10 votes per payment method, so one person could use multiple to stack on votes)

Any sensible country would have traffic/vehicle laws banning something like this already.

Here in Finland? Blue and green lights are not allowed on motor vehicles. Blinking blue gets you a huge fine for impersonating an emergency vehicle.

I hate cigarettes, but I’ve always liked the designs Marlboro had in their cars over the years. The red/white triangles and the tall “rlb” in the logo giving it a bit of symmetry, it just looks great.
