Chasing perfection was my sanity back when I was a welder.

Not a whole lot. Only around $5 a pound. If there really is 3 grams of gold and you got the chemicals to dissolve and collect it safely, that’s worth waaay more. 3g of gold would be worth around $500.

They don’t just read plated. They’ll recognize scratches and dents on specific vehicles and also facial recognition. Basically complete human and machine tracking. Cities with flock cameras everywhere can track every move you make.

Back in my day we figured out how to take care of this without getting mom and dad involved. Lol

The non existent community moderation is by design and purpose. Valve wants it that way. They refuse to be any sort of gatekeepers in it.

You don’t know what jobs they cut. It was likely service offices and phone help and secretaries and maintenance people and commissioned sales people and such. They couldn’t have cut 30,000 programmers and hardware engineers.

No one deserves that much money and I’m not arguing in favor of what they did. I’m just pointing out that getting rid of that many people is way, way, more than $30,000,000 on a payroll.

I assume most of the layoffs were in support roles and not the main coders or hardware engineers. I assume it was a lot of secretaries and intern level stuff and phone rep and sales people supplemented by commissions and cleaning crew and maintenance jobs. Probably shut down some service offices too.

I just don’t really care for peanut butter.

Enough for 400 employees.

Lol. Gotta leave a little room down there for the “it can always get worse” section.

Unintentionally pressed my elbow into a hive if red paper wasps.

STRAIGHT FUCKING FIRE 🔥🔥🔥. Don’t recommend it. 3\10.

I’m like 95% sure this is shopped.

For real. I floated around with Ubuntu like 15 or so years ago. Everything was learning and researching and getting things to work. Plopped Mint on my laptop a few months ago and didn’t hardly have to do a thing to figure it out. But of troubleshooting to get my VPN to run correctly on it.

It depends on their version the fcc is considering “manufactured”. If they mean it in a literal sense, there’s pretty much just starlink. If they mean it can be an American company but put together overseas then there’s plenty, like Netgear and Linksys.

The kind that can be better made with $20 and a trip to home depot?

I could agree, but who says that devs won’t take advantage of this once it’s in widespread use, and unlike motion sensing, PC gamers are very used to adjusting their settings to get the fps and look that they want. I can’t even think of a PC game where one of the first things I did wasn’t to go muck around in the graphics settings.

I look at the face and see one image that looks like a face from a game 5 years ago, and another that looks like that face became an actual person. You couldn’t make it look like an actual person without changing some of the details from the original.

Plus, if you don’t like it, it’s 1 click away from just turning dlss off.

I’ll likely never own a 5090 at all. Definitely not two of them.

But while a lot of you are hating how that before and after looks, the after image if just straight up nicer looking and more realistic.

It shouldn’t look so realistic? Man; I’m in my 40’s. Game devs have been trying to make people in games more realistic looking my entire life. Her before image wasn’t less realistic due to artistic choice. It was because it couldn’t be done easily or run on a system.

Lara Crofts tits didn’t start as triangles for artistic reasons.
