Yep, the infamous “Starlight Tours”.
Every officer involved in any of this should be fired on the spot, then also fired again but from a cannon.

In the 90s, battlenet was amazing for its time.
Back then, it wasn’t a store or a launcher though, it was a mix of chat channels, game lobbies before matchmaking was a thing.

Everything Blizzard has fallen from grace by so much that it’s hard to reconcile old Blizzard with whatever shit they’re now shoveling.

Old Blizzard was innovative back then, but even that is now tainted by the disgusting way women who worked there were treated.

I don’t know this particular individual, but this whole premise is like hiring Oracle to fix your PR team.

For one thing, it still has the option for an additional fingerprint lock to open the app.
Sure, my phone itself is locked anyway, usually.
I still like having the second lock built into the app itself for the odd time (however rare) that I hand my unlocked phone to someone.
I know they’re not snooping into my signal messages while I blink or misclick on a notification or whatever.

It may not be a big deal for some/most but I like that feature and I can’t imagine that’s something that needs much upkeep once initially implemented.

I’m sure it’s not the only feature, but it’s one I use often.

What a smooth brain

Signal (but actually Molly)

No shit

Mad Marx

What if the shadow buyers were the intercepters all along.

I was already rolling my eyes when another eyerolling moment came and my eyes just fell off the back of my head.

Those condenser kits are mostly bullshit. If you can’t vent outside get a heatpump dryer.
They’re expensive to buy, cheapest to run.

Yea, the idiots have always been here.

I’m talking about the genuinely oblivious and totally useless coworker that somehow won’t ever shut up, they’ve always been there.
My problem with AI is it gives these same idiots a firehose of slop to aim at anything and everything.
These idiots aren’t new, but now they send 2-pager-emails filled with plausible-enough-yet-dangerously-wrong-bullshit that I then need to defuse before some other exec-level idiot swallows it whole and crashes the whole project.

Similarly, I want a toast emoji with different gradients.
Like you can choose several gradients for thumbs 👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿, which is fine, but not for bread 🍞.
That’s also only a loaf, a sandwich, a baguette and a croissant 🥪🥖🥐, but no toast.

The technology is there.

I hate the modern ones you need to hover above so they even display, and then it’s 1 pixel wide and a shade of grey that’s about 2% darker than white.
Less functional and 500 lines of js garbage.

It depends a lot on what you have in mind?
Something like a parametric mechanical gizmo will be very different than a sculpture thingy.

Parametric CAD:
I had to create a part that laid flat over decorative moulding. I took one end, traced its cross-section on paper, added an “L” traced with a square as a reference to compensate skew and to have an easy known dimension reference, then took a picture of that.
Opened in inkscape and traced path from bitmap, export to dxf, import into 3d cad software and use as sketch in the rest of the part.

Sculpting CAD:
Or maybe you’re talking about something like a mini and looking to do photogrammetry instead.
Haven’t tried that, but at least you know what it’s called

That’s if the US even upholds their end of whatever agreement and doesn’t just fuck you over anyway whenever convenient.

Anecdotal evidence, but there seems to be less or this kinda spam than before yea.

anything chaotic

Most of the time I’ll have an earworm song in my head… but the thing is it’s usually not alone.
Anything can be chaotic enough if you mash up enough different songs together at the same time.

Isometric Ebb is a gem.

My wife has been rocking a Kobo h2o for about a decade.
You can just mount it as a usb stick
