Only 50%

Do people need a reminder of who owns this company?

You don't like the 'pedestrian mower' trucks, where the driver can't see anything that's less than 30 feet in front of them? Weird. /s

I don't want AI-generated assets in games at the expense of past, present, and future artists -- artists that created all the source material in the first place and had it pirated by corporations who had enough money to ignore all existing IP law globally.

If Tim Sweeney is fine with pirating other's art, he should be cool with people pirating his games.

when you make it clear to be honest

It has no idea what honesty is. It has no idea what bias is.

It is fancy auto-complete. And it's wrong so often (like 40% of the time) that it should not be used to seek out factual information that the prompter doesn't already know.

This depends on the country/state, the speed limit of the road, and possibly other local laws.

Broadly speaking, in the US on roads with speed limits at or above 55mph: the laws for many states require keeping right except to pass. [Generally] On roads under 55mph: there is no such rule but it's not uncommon for people to think there is, probably due to confusion with the 55+ law, or perhaps there's a different state or local law where they live.

99.9% of people don't look up differing traffic laws before driving through multiple states, which is why most differences are posted with road signage.

EDIT: An obvious exception to the speed limit rule are interstate highways where the speed limit will drop in urban areas but still require to keep right except to pass.

In the US, "doxxing" laws are pretty much state-by-state and many may be violating the first amendment.

I didn't see a link to the survey in the article so I found it on the ESA website.

The survey says that 58% of kids want games, but it doesn't seem to specify what percentage of kids want in-game currency?; it simply says that in-game currency is one of the top five video-game related requests, at 43%. But 43% of what? 43% of kids who want games? It's not specific, which would make the news article meaningless.

They said they had no intention of hindering or invalidating 'legal' 3rd party docks, where 'legal' could be interpreted as "authorized by Nintendo", which could mean they have every intention of hindering every dock they don't approve of or get a cut of sales of.

Hexlox for the seat, seatpost suspension, and handlebar bolts, as well as hexlox for the axles.

Abus granit x-plus u-lock, cafe lock with Abus chain lock integrated, and a cable lock for my front wheel.

Also bike insurance.

I have all these stupid locks because I have an ebike. I have an ebike to help offset all the weight of these stupid locks.

Friendly reminder that Reolink cameras need to be denied internet access / isolated on the network because they constantly reach out to a bunch of Chinese IP addresses.

Fun Fact: DVD originally was called Digital Video Disc and was changed shortly after because it began being used for other non-video purposes.

Source: I was there when DVD was first introduced to the market.

We are in a new age of disinformation and crazy people, where the president of the US literally responds to protests against him with AI videos of him shitting on all of them, and where every sarcasm post needs an /s.
