I wonder if a fall from this height would be enough to kill me.
In an alternate reality where mega corps aren't chasing AI bullshit, Nvidia has made a new Shield TV.

(This is my 2015 Pro model that I replaced the hard drive in with an SSD and it's still better than 98% of the stuff out there.)

I dunno about anybody else, but what really gets me excited on a Friday is hearing about changes with my mortgage provider.

Been a minute since I logged into Guild Wars for sure, but I was able to link my ArenaNet account pretty quick.

as you dig through coverage of the Netflix Warner Bros merger, play a little game with me:

notice how many of them mention, at ALL, the two decade history of disastrous previous Time Warner mergers, and the massive layoffs, price hikes, and quality erosion that resulted

Stuff like this is crazy to me, it looks amazing, and it's locked down to a platform app that Sony will eventually shut down access to when the price to maintain no longer makes sense.

Huge respect for the work done though.Stuff like Little Big Planet and Dreams really brings a spotlight on talent.
New Banjo-Kazooie game 'Mumbomania' made in Dreams is now available on PS4 & PS5 🎮

Rare says the developer did 'incredible work'

Every corporation is working overtime to fuck you. Every one of them.

The end goal is no ownership, only a monthly payment to access what you want.

I kind of wish I'd bought that Switch 2 wrestling game when it was $15 on Black Friday.

Turned out to be a bios issue, which I hadn't updated since March and CachyOS didn't like the AGESA version the board was running. Good times.
Update killed my CachyOS console PC today, at least it won't boot into the OS now, just a black screen. Been planning a fresh install on a 4TB SSD I've had sitting on my desk for a bit, so never been a better time I guess.

Yeah, I gotta uninstall that Woot app.

I could barely sit through the first movie once. Luckily, I made it to the guy in the mech suit with the giant bowie knife.

The 5th movie should be called "Avatar: Mechs With Giant Bowie Knives"

Have critical work related stuff to get done today before 4PM when I'm done.

And by "critical" and "work related" I mean getting my CachyOS Steam machine up and running again by the time I get off work so I can sit on the couch and play something.

The first school to market itself as AI free is going to corner the market on people interested in actually learning. And I would not be surprised if rich families and the children of people creating this tech were the first movers.
My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

Laura Loomer, Matt Gaetz and Mike Lindell TV are now among the Pentagon “press.” It's not impressive to answer fake questions from fake reporters. It's propaganda.

I will say resorting to a hub system that's just a giant, empty desert you cross back and forth to reach your goals was bad in Gears 5, and I can't imagine a situation where it would be good.

Twisted in a weird way in the kitchen this morning and now my hip hurts when I walk.

Moral here is don't get old. The movie was right all along.
