No, it just goes to its extraction point! ...somehow.

As a longtime Plex user, I also hate their lack of focus and tendancy to priorotize bad features (like paid streaming and VR). But this one feels more like a way to re-focus on video by removing photo code from the main (video) app's codebase, making it easier to maintain.

So basically, it's a poorly marketed $40 game facing a lot of free and popular competition.

Honk if you have ever been personally victimized by HONK!

As a longtime Heroes of thr Storm player, it had just the level of ability and territory progression I wanted.

For LLMs, I've had really good results running Llama 3 in the Open Web UI docker container on a Nvidia Titan X (12GB VRAM).

For image generation tho, I agree more VRAM is better, but the algorithms still struggle with large image dimensions, ao you wind up needing to start small and iterarively upscale, which afaik works ok on weaker GPUs, but will gake problems. (I've been using the Automatic 1111 mode of the Stable Diffusion Web UI docker project.)

I'm on thumbs so I don't have the links to the git repos atm, but you basically clone them and run the docker compose files. The readmes are pretty good!

It was branded Rockman EXE in Japan, and NT Warrior (i.e. Net Warrior) in the US anime, only. The "network" refers to the internet and the internet of things heavily featured in the games, in which you battle viruses; hence "Battle Network."

Key quote:

To say that “political violence” has “no place” in a society organized by political violence at home and abroad is to acquiesce to the normalization of that violence, so long as it is state and capitalist monopolized.

A lot of my feelings got summed up here: basically, the episode had a lot of momentum and incoherence. Beyond that,

  • Having just watched "Pyramids of Mars," I'm puzzled Davis revived this villain, and that the impatient Sutekh acquired the patience to wait centuries (millennia?) to complete his plan.
  • I love the Memory TARDIS!
  • I thought 15 was supposed to be the "healed" doctor.
  • Davies is playing with the idea of concepts, perception, memory and faith influencing reality; but the handwavy, cursory explanations for how it all works makes it impossible to anticipate events or solutions to the challenges thr Doctor faces, which limits how the viewer can interact with the story and how engaged I feel. (E.g. when the Doctor says "there's nothing I can do" we just have to take him at his word, until it turns out all he had to do was leash Sutekh and drag him into the time vortex, and likely could have from the very start, given how Sutekh was restraining himself even before they discovered Ruby's mother. So the show becomes less of a thought exercise, more of waiting for the Doctor and plot to strikefamiliar chords.)
  • This isn't Davies' best work, but I'm hoping he's getting back into his groove. Either way, I'm hyped for Moffat's upcoming special!

The original, Blue Raspberry.

 

A related article indicates Prigozhin claims this is not a coup; that his claims of being shelled by Russia haven't been substantiated; that he also criticized Putin a day ago.

 

I bought my Logitech G533 a year and a half ago. Had decent reviews, and I got it new for a reasonable price on eBay. Two days ago, the mic broke, and I discovered it's a known issue (Reddit link) since 5 years ago. But, I thought, clearly this would be covered by its two-year warranty! Doesn't even require a receipt if you just need a replacement! So naturally the rep says:

  1. The warranty applies from date of manufacturer unless you have a receipt to prove date of purchase.
  2. They won't accept a receipt from eBay, as eBay's not a licensed reseller, and they consider the new, in box item "second hand."
  3. They'd love to help me, but there's simply nothing they can do 🙂

Yes, fucking emoji and all. So I'm typing up a complaint to my state consumer protection agency and spreading the word not to trust Logitech more than you can throw them.

Is this standard? Probably. Should it be? Hell no.

At this point, might try to repair it myself; but I'll likely be out another $100 for my second headset in as many years.

 

And is it too much to ask the fediverse to contain a pterodactyl, triceratops, and saber tooth tiger themed apps?
