Yeah, I’m confused on what else the Pentagon would be spending money on.

the FTC had failed to follow correct procedures and conduct an analysis before issuing the rule

The FTC is free to issue this again. They need to do it in accordance with the law next time.

The court ruled specifically on the stay. The case itself is still before lower courts.

FTA: The standard income deduction has been increased for seniors such that 90% will have their Social Security income completely covered by the deduction, meaning they won’t pay taxes on that income.

Edit: Crossed out a word.

Smaller studios have been consistently putting out good games as of late anyway. Indy and AA studios have the freedom to make fun things instead of having to check every box on a spreadsheet.

It’s absolutely sexual harassment.

But, to your question: you can’t just say something has underage nudity when the nudity is of an adult model. It’s not CSAM.

Anyone with half a brain will certainly claim as much. Even if people don’t fully believe it, it will blunt the most serious of social consequences.

Taking secret nude pictures of someone is quite a bit different than…not taking nude pictures of them.

It’s not CSAM to put a picture of someone’s face on an adult model and show it to your friend. It’s certainly sexual harassment, but it isn’t CSAM.

Your best bet is to shoot for one with an AMD Ryzen chip, as they have by-far the best iGPU available.

Getting a dedicated GPU into a mini PC is a pretty big ask, but the above will even do moderate gaming tasks. My laptop with a Ryzen iGPU plays Guild Wars 2 just fine, for example.

A self-built Mini-ITX box might also be up your alley, as those can take proper PCI-E graphics cards.

Thank you. :)

Two US Democratic senators were just assassinated

Which Senators?

Edit: Looked it up, appears to be State Rep. Hortman (was confused as ‘US Senator’ means Senator to the federal Senate, not state-level House representative). Can’t find a second assassination though.

Fun fact in all party consent states consent is obtained merely by notifying the other party that the call is being recorded

And almost all calls with a company will start with a line about ‘recording the call for quality purposes’. Well, both parties consented after that point, record away!

Poor customer support is the #1 thing that will get me to stop using a service/buying future products. Everybody fucks up, what matters most is what happens next. If they make the problem right with little hassle, why bother switching?

the website’s admins do not want you to have any control over your front page. The end result is utterly alienating.

This is one of the biggest things. Back when I would netflix often, I would constantly be annoyed when the ‘continue watching’ dialog was not the first one. Stop moving it around! Now I just watch everything locally. It’s so much nicer.

There is no reason streaming should be such a pain in the ass, and it amazes me the industry has made basic, paid access to shows a chore. And they wonder why viewership is not great*.

*Also the writing generally sucks ass and assumes I’m not paying attention. No, seriously, they assume you aren’t paying attention and write shows as such now. It makes so many things unwatchable.

I’m still confused on why Netflix has any games.

“Reserve Cloud PCs” will be preloaded with Microsoft 365 apps and a user’s preferred security policies and other Windows customizations.

You need a working PC to access this ‘reserve’ PC. Why not just install Office on your own PC and ignore this extra cloud thing?

Single sink makes cleaning pans so much easier. Everything smaller goes in the dish washer, so much faster than hand cleaning.

That’s a totally different situation from a totally different time…a singular, mostly unrelated action

Both situations are about Iran closing the Straight of Hormuz and the US response to such. It’s hard to draw up a more similar event. Second up would be the ongoing operations against the Houthis who are attempting to close a different straight.

Do they want to lose half their navy in a day, again?

For those who want to watch a great animated video on the event: Operation Praying Mantis

race does not have an inherent physical or biological meaning

Physical traits are passed through genes onto kids, thus kids have much the same traits as their parents. Asian parents have asian kids. Why are we doing elementary biology here?

This really isn’t the argument we should be latching onto.
