I’ve had issues with this in using govt emails too. DOD accounts all have multiple dots based on branch and dept. It broke so many systems and emails never went through.

I am normally really protective with my data but I don’t get the outrage here. If the data is all about how you use the app and the report relates to things relevant to usage that are interesting and is sent just to you,I don’t see the harm. It’s not broadcast to the world and isn’t sharing a bunch of sensitive information (as far as I know). It just seems like a fun way to reflect on the year.

I use Pandora and I wish they did something like this. As much as pandora is all about data I would love to see a report on my music listening with some of their insights about music attributes included.

Don’t know how I missed this one when I had a PS1 but it would have definitely have been up my alley back in the day. Maybe I’ll get around to getting an emulator for my PC to pick it up again. Could be fun getting back into those old games again - I wouldn’t mind picking up the old Metal Gear 2 game again.

I too feel old now lol

A demolition derby game like wreckfest but without the racing. Leveling, gear, competitions are all focused on destroying other cars and being last one standing.

Bonus if some shenanigans are allowed like you get out of your car and fight other drivers.

I opened that video, saw the length and thought, I’ll just get a peek of the house and shut it off. I watched the whole thing. Holy shit.

That globe headline - “Gutsy cripple builds 41-room Mansion… by himself!” I about spit out my coffee.

Yeah there’s only a couple subtle hints in the regular game and I think more in the dlc. I’m guessing they’ll lean into it more with control 2 now that AW2 is out as well.

Yeah, and that is also scary. There is so little accountability in tech and the excitement over AI is just going to create a new generation of tech bro leaders for Forbes to write cover stories about.

Yes, and I will judge the people using them. I know I shouldn’t because even smart people do dumb things and phones often autocorrect to emojis now but when I see a comment with a lot of emojis my first thought is “that is the language of idiots”.

(Not talking about an occasional smiling emoji, more like the people who use more emojis than words. )

I wish this narrative would get more traction. I don’t get the love for Altman, even inside Open AI.

This whole drama has revealed.what I suspect is a larger problem across tech- that there are product-focused people who are legitimately trying to make tools to better society, and there are people who just want to make money.

Two guesses which type of person is usually in the C suite.

I’m just waiting for the cat to jump up on it and screw up everything.

I can’t upvote FNV enough. I would LOVE a modern version, especially if they could incorporate some of the mods that add new areas and questlines.

Stairs and inclines, like steep hills and tiered seating. We can’t sit in the cheap seats at sporting events because I constantly feel like I’m going to fall and I get anxiety attacks. Stairs and escalators are bad too, but I’ve gotten much better with those over the years (can’t exactly avoid them in most cases).

I have a 2 story house with a basement, and even going downstairs in my own home can sometimes be hard.

Okay I’m not very technical but I hate Microsoft with every fiber of my being and want desperately to break from them but can’t bring myself to switch my regular and gaming PCs to Linux. It just feels like too much work like I’d be starting over and most of all I just fear change. Is there a good YT series/channel or blog or something I can check out that might make things a little less intimidating?
