I’m blinded by the hype train, but with 2 kids and sole income my wallets to empty to pay for an 80$ game on release.

In case you are being serious, the save icon is a picture of a “floppy disk” a removable media that was extremely prevalent in the 80s-90s these devices could store get this 1.44 MB of data. IIRC Windows 95 came out on 13 of these puppies that you had to put in one after the other to actually install windows. This was also a similar situation for games.

I have a feeling you just don’t understand how a binary search functions even with AI you wouldn’t be using a binary search at that point

If you have camera footage from 4pm to 8pm with event lasting 1 minute but no changes occur to the background/foreground how exactly are you using recursion to determine which part of the footage even occurred without going through the entire film. Are you picking at random?

The way you’re describing AI is not binary search and so it can’t be used in this example. Also most public cameras are not 8K cameras they don’t contain a lot of detail, so the argument that they could catch something subtle kinda gets blown out of the water. You can’t just use AI as a cop out for not understanding how function behaves or works

What does that have to do with a binary search If a camera has AI on it then two things. A you have a system that already would be capturing movement or motion so you already have flags that you can check which would make a binary search mostly unnecessary. and B it’s not binary search. Which is this whole discussion.

Cool you’re adding information to the question to make yourself “right” but even your comment says that’s only the vast majority of fights and also you had to clarify in public so there are edge cases where the situation still stands that binary search wouldn’t work or wouldn’t be feasible.

A solution doesn’t have to work for 100% of things for it to still be a good solution.

Your adding things that would allow a binary search work, but the question was in a situation where the only evidence is the conflict itself

2 guys enter one guy punches the other guy they both leave. Nothing is moved no blood was created,

you could not use a binary search effectively to duduce when it occurred.

If you like the automation in that pack and want a game similar you should try factorio. A more friendly introduction to the genre would be shapez.io.

My favorite part of Arch is reinstalling it over and over again. That first successful boot after the install gives too much dopamine.

Knowing a few people running lubuntu doesn’t make it an average. That is just a personal bias.

From experience almost all the computers I serviced over the last few years were either bought at Walmart, Best buy or Amazon that could also be a bias, but it spans over multiple cities with a good hundred clients The only time I started to see computers that were consistently bought from the manufacturer is in a business environment. But the specific one I’m in doesn’t support Linux at all within production.

Ah I just checked there used to be a loophole by going through a disability program or using an alternative authentication method provided by Microsoft that would activate the 10 license after the update. Looks like it was patched in September 2023 though.

The average consumer either doesn’t go to the manufacturer site or doesn’t care enough to look into alternatives. They want something that gets their school/work done.

As some in the IT field who regularly deals with people that have a 4+ year degree and then tell me they are “tech illiterate” is astounding.

In the past they were hand held so much that the previous techs had a password book of everyone’s password for multiple applications.

Luckily with a lot of pushback from our current members about how insecure and dangerous that is that has changed, but we still have users even after 3 years since the change message us through a depreciated system asking for their password.

Correct, but that’s cost is only if you buy windows 11 for a machine that has never had windows on it,

11 is free for any windows user that has 10. It also comes pre installed on most PCs you buy and very rarely is that cost of the license noted on the device your buying (unless you use the customize settings on an online store)

I’m also pretty sure there are still ways to upgrade to 10 from 7 and 8. Windows did this to make it harder for people to switch to a different OS because most people remember when they had to “pay” to upgrade to the latest version.

Honestly I didn’t know Kirta was free because the first time I saw it was on Steam, later found out it was free but it’s such a good product I’m happy I found it there first.
