Valve is an excellent example of a company that is privately owned, so they don't have to satisfy shareholders with constant growth for growth's sake. And yet they're still growing and making a profit, because they make a good product.

Phil and Xbox don't have that luxury because their masters sold out decades ago.

Yeah it's a data broker broker. Totally legit.

Did you just give us a fucking screenshot of an article headline instead of linking an actual article? (Edit 2: OP has now edited the post and added the link, thanks for that I guess.)

Edit: AND you gave it a misleading title? Jesus Christ, this is the peak of low effort bullshit.

Here's the article, in case anyone wants to actually learn something instead of just reading a headline and commenting something edgy: https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/18/24043017/openai-arizona-state-university-asu-chatgpt

Here's what it actually says:

The university will begin taking project submissions from faculty and students on where to use ChatGPT beginning in February. ... There may even be room for chatbots to act as personalized tutors for ASU students, said Jones.

Literally doesn't say a single word about "replacing advisors or educators".

Not.

Does this mean the hackers and cheaters will only get worse from here?

Satanspeed?

Yeah this title is dumb as hell. Some models and influencers are difficult to work with, and some are easy. The ones that are shitty get less work, naturally. It's just like any other industry. My partner works with them all the time.

This company made an AI model because they're fucking cheap.

They considered it, consulted a lawyer, and then stopped considering it, because what the board did was stupid (INCREDIBLY stupid) but it wasn't illegal.

It's pretty common for hardcore FPS gamers to switch their right click (which is usually ADS) from a "press and hold" configuration to a "toggle" configuration, meaning you just click to ADS, and then click again to release it. The idea is that you shouldn't be constantly pushing down on you mouse while aiming, it creates drag and makes aiming harder.

Are you talking about remapping your mouse buttons to keyboard buttons? Seems like it would be difficult, but it's plausible.

P.S. ADS means "Aim Down Sights"

Buy yourself a new gaming rig, and use your old gaming rig as a server. That's what I usually do.

Or, see if you can get an old office PC for a couple hundred bucks on eBay. Anything that's around 5 years old (10 is pushing it) and has decent specs (maybe an i7 and 16GB of RAM) should work fine as a Minecraft and Plex server. Then you can get a cheap (ideally less than $200) graphics card and be good to go.

Bottom line, a "server" is just a PC that's serving things. You don't need enterprise grade hardware. If you're new to hosting, I'd advise you to start cheap and then upgrade to better hardware in a few years when you KNOW what you need. No need to get something really nice and expensive right now.

Holy shit this is great. So it's not FOSS, but it is OSS. And they're not forcing you to pay, they're just asking, without DRM or anything.

I installed it, hooked up my YouTube and Nebula accounts, and it works fine. It's a LOT more stable than I expected. Odyssee works too, and no crashes yet. I immediately paid the $10 for a license. I love the stuff Louis does, and I'm absolutely willing to fund it.

It's so fucking cringe. I work in tech, I see how weirdly women get treated and I see their unusually high turnover rate. Early on I was told "women don't last long here" and it was very true, that woman in particular quit to do freelance work (good for her). Why can't women have a job fair? Men don't fucking need one, NEARLY ALL of the other tech job fairs are dominated by men.
