You need a Microsoft account to sign in to the launcher, download the game and play online, but if you already have the game installed you can launch it and play singleplayer without an internet connection.

The longer I look at this the more uncertain I am whether or not this is AI.

The fingers look weirdly long, but all of the text is actually written and oriented correctly, but the shading across the surface of all the cards seems to change brightness randomly, ...

We aren't focusing on the thousands of people dying from malaria or the common flu either. Once something is routine it is no longer "news".

How is Samba supposed to be a replacement for the entirety of Windows Server???

Debian-based distros (and probably most othera as well) actually have a package called "intel-microcode" which gets updated fairly regularly.

I search for stuff in qBittorrent and download it directly onto my home server using the web UI. I've got most of my family's devices set up to be able to access it either via an NFS or SMB mount, and then it's just a simple matter of opening the corresponding video in VLC.

My new laptop doesn't support S3 sleep, it can drain the battery from 100% to 0% in less than 16 hours while supposedly "sleeping".

You don't have to dig up the roads to fix buried power lines any more than you have to tear up your walls to replace power lines in your house: you install a conduit (basically a pipe) under the road once and if the cable somehow gets damaged and needs to be replaced you can just run new cable through the existing conduit by simply pushing it in on one end and pulling from the other.

Transformers and other non-cable equipment are typically housed aboveground in little boxes or built in to the house, so they're actually easier to maintain than if they were installed aboveground on a pole since you don't need a cherrypicker to access it.

Obviously in a less wealthy small town with existing overhead infrastructure it doesn't make much sense to move it all underground "just because", but if you're already trenching under the road to install water/sewage/gas mains, it won't cost much extra to throw down an additional one or two smaller conduits for running power cables or telephone/cable/fiber lines.

Couldn't that just as easily be solved with a database of illnesses which can be filtered by symptoms?
