We should pretty much assume that all age verification efforts either currently are feeding into surveillance efforts, or will be bought out by surveillance companies.

It’s not all the tariffs, just the ones he justified using the 1977 Emergency Act. So of course, now he’ll use another justification, and it’ll take SC®OTUS another year to rule on those.

Because you’re looking at the English Wikipedia? It’s there in the French Wikipedia.

Because this head prioritizes branding over utility, neither the bit nor the screw head can withstand the torque of a standard Torx or Hex fastener. The result? Broken bits, stripped screws, and more time spent on what would otherwise be a simple task.

Ugh.

Rights for me, rules for thee!

Stardew Valley 1.7.

Unfortunately, that could be so very many people - professional relationships, personal relationships, and even family :/

A small toolkit that didn’t get yeeted around the car when you had your accident.

The chase car has been removed - but no one’s seen the self-driving cars either, not since the chase car was removed. It’s another intentional misdirection.

I think one of the reasons Stardew has had such a long life is the modding community: it’s been ten years since it’s release and I can’t imagine playing it that long. I can, however, bring up Passerby Cemetery, East Scarp, Ridgeside, etc, and scratch my Stardew itch with new content every couple years.

I’m sure Eric knows this as well, and would include modding in HC.

I mean, he spent 4 years of 70-hour weeks making Stardew. I’d expect Haunted Chocolatier to take equally as long - actually longer, since he’s still making Stardew releases, presumably taking some time for himself these days, has to approve any official merch or related stuff like the concert series, etc.

I followed a link in that article to this one: Tesla didn’t remove the Robotaxi ‘safety monitor’ – it just moved them to a trailing car:

When Musk says there’s “no safety monitor in the car,” he’s technically telling the truth, the monitor is in a different car, following right behind. But the implication that Tesla has achieved true unsupervised autonomy is misleading at best.

Even if his robots were ready for primetime (they’re not), I don’t see how he’s going to be able to price them affordably, given the RAM shortages.

Nah, he’ll have the government buy them as fleet cars.

It’s unclear why January’s security update for Windows 11 has been so disastrous.

Vibe coding …

Fuckheaded Brexit leaders should not be listened to.

Hell, Microsoft and Apple did the same thing decades ago. Microsoft offered computer discounts to high schools and colleges, so that the students would be used to (and demand) Microsoft when they went into the business world. Apple then undercut that by offering very discounted products to elementary and junior high schools, so that the students would want Apple products in higher education and the business world.

The tactic let them write off all the discounts on their taxes, but lock in customers and raise prices on business (and eventually consumer) goods.

security researchers […] are revealing a collection of vulnerabilities they found in 17 audio accessories that use Google’s Fast Pair protocol and are sold by 10 different companies: Sony, Jabra, JBL, Marshall, Xiaomi, Nothing, OnePlus, Soundcore, Logitech, and Google itself.

Right after they reached deals to sell all of those lovely, long, detailed, crowded-sourced articles for AI training data :(

Considering that Alexis Ohanian is involved, it looks like he wants another bite at the apple, so it’ll likely go downhill pretty quickly.
