Nvidia Wants to Replace Nurses With AI for $9 an Hour
  • I hope they start the consultation with “Please state the nature of your medical emergency”.

  • Netflix adds 13.1 million subscribers, tops revenue estimates
  • And just like that we were guaranteed another price increase.

  • France fines Amazon $35 million for 'excessively intrusive' monitoring of warehouse staff
  • They already put ads on Prime Video now and charge $2.99 a month to remove them. Expect it to be higher in a few months if they have to pay this.

  • Republicans Push To Legalize ‘Property Owners’ Killing Homeless People in Kentucky
  • I have a coworker from Kentucky and he says that some of the sanctuary cities that the illegals were being bussed to threatened to bus them to the surrounding red states is why they’re passing laws like this. It’s a scare tactic to the left and the good ole boys in Kentucky are itching to shoot someone legally so the R’s get guaranteed reelection.

  • Texas independence vote is imminent, group's leader says
  • One of the top questions asked by Texas residents during their last succession vote was if social security checks were still going to be delivered. I hope they do vote to leave, I want to see the realization sink in and the chaos that ensues.

  • Walmart, Costco and other companies rethink self-checkout, some stores removing them
  • Practice your sleight of hand movements. I’ve figured out how to make it look like I’ve just scanned one thing but moved two at both Walmart and Kroger self checkouts without any alarms going off. Helps a lot with my getting my employee discount for having to run a register.

  • Seek relief
  • The headache medicine doesn’t do shit anyway. I need a cold, silent room and sleep to make the headache stop.

  • Parents are stealing their children's identities to access debt—and destroying their kids' credit scores in the process
  • Companies don’t care. I had a collection agency call me before wanting paid for an unpaid Direct TV bill from when I was 13 that my dad had taken out in my name. I had to get him to read the part on Direct tv’s terms stating that no one under 18 can activate service 4 times before it finally registered to him and they dropped it. Still had to get it removed from my credit report too.

  • Windows 12 May Require a Subscription
  • First they’ll have to split the functionality of every program across multiple programs, then they’ll shut it down.

  • New Covid vaccines are on the way as 'Eris' variant rises
  • I had Covid and other than taking away my taste for a while it didn’t really do much to me. The vaccine is what knocked me out. I had an allergic reaction to it and got a 103°F temp, body aches, and severe flu like symptoms so badly that I had to go to the ER.

  • Twitter tried to goad businesses into buying more ads so they can stay verified
  • It used to be this place where people would post funny stories or how to make crack in a microwave. Now it’s all politics and sexuality talk.

  • PS5 Rumored To Receive A Price Drop In The US, UK & Germany - TwistedVoxel
  • That’s true. It didn’t get to be a multibillion dollar industry due to our frugalness.

  • Lmao, YES! That’s exactly what it feels like.

  • Democrats scramble to reach voters after Florida cancels mail-in ballot requests
  • All Democrats have to do to even it out is make where to vote you have to turn on a computer fill out your votes via pdf, and then submit them. Cancels out all the elderly republican votes.

  • Same. Also Gow Ragnarok. I came up with a term called “And then” gaming for it. “Go way out of the way to get a magical cup for me”, AND THEN go slay this boss, AND THEN, ad nauseum until you’re 3 hours deep into a multi branching side quest that you don’t even care about anything anymore. I couldn’t play the first GOW without my wife watching or it would be a fight but in Ragnarok the endless AND THEN side quests had her scrolling on her phone instead. We didn’t start enjoying the game until I just stopped playing the side stuff. I don’t know why 1st party Sony stuff is doing AND THEN missions to pad the game out but they need to stop.

  • Xbox (not sure if PlayStation has or not) just officially dropped support for last gen and all development moved to current gen. Three years into the generation. They haven’t even gotten to see what the current systems can do yet so I don’t think pro models are needed. That doesn’t mean that they won’t do it though but it does show us all that we might as well ride out our last gen systems until the pro models drop going forward if they go this route.

  • It’s making the game tedious for me but I’m so far into it I might as well power through at this point. Especially when those drawn out side missions branch out into multiple paths that are just walking to a location and killing random enemies. I’m passing on the next Final Fantasy because of this one.

  • You don’t have to beat them but you can miss equipment etc. The side missions are so hit or miss that you can do one that’s multi-tier and longer than a main mission and just get material or something that could have been bought from a vendor for 100 Gil. Then sometimes the side mission could be 10 minutes long and you’ll get a special weapon or equipment that’s more powerful than what you have and can get for about 10 main missions later.

  • Most likely the case. I’m not convinced a pro is coming though, a slim definitely, but not a pro. It’s just not needed.
