I have not played a Forza game since the first one. What did they do to muck it up? I assume the usual live service / micro transactions cancer.

It’s more like “localization is hard and you have a week to add support for it”

You joke but my dehumidifier has an automatic comfort mode of some sort.

I guarantee that next run will have that button with screen print AI something something above it instead.

It really depends on what Trump means by " built in the US". It won’t be that big of a jump if Apple is just assembling them there. If every component has to come from the US it’s likely impossible.

Apple is vertically integrated in a way many companies are not. It would be bad for them for sure but they already have really high profit margins. They could eat the cost and assemble in the US, but they won’t because they are already a velban good.

Use whatever you want, but remember Google gets to decide what Chrome supports and if Chrome doesn’t support it…

That makes it sound like webp is the only option, it isn’t.

Lol home of the free, what a shit hole

Let me give you a bit of the outside of the story as well.

For sure tiktok and meta and Google want you in their walled Garden for all the obvious reasons. However, and it’s gotten even worse as of late, if you have any kind of computationally expensive but desirable content/data the crawlers/scrapers/scripters will pummel your site. Despite how annoying you find the captchas and bot detection a computer doesn’t give too shits about it and at this point they basically serve as a rate limit or effort to make your content too computationally expensive to scrape and be worth it.

While accounts don’t necessarily solve this problem they do help as another impediment.

Has he paid any of the money he was supposed for the slander/libel/ breaking new York laws or whatever? Or has it just been reduced to nothing.

I mean they don’t make it very hard to play their first party Games. Just pay the online free. The main issue is that not all of those games from 1997 are their games. They are just made for their system.

That’s true and not true at the same time. The one advantage Windows has in this regard is that everyone is working on the same “distro” as it were. With Linux the various components can vary enough to be confusing. I think that is why it’s important to choose a distro with a sizeable community.

Something like Ubuntu, or an arch derivative like endeavouros are a good choice for that reason.

I would also warm against the copy paste of commands that you don’t know what you are doing with. The one nice thing is that in 2025 you can drop a command into your choice of LLM assistant and get a pretty good description of what it does without breaking out the man pages.

I mean I’m pretty sure the massive game sizes we see today are almost exclusively caused by high res textures and assets.

Honestly in an office situation there is no excuse not to have a super automatic espresso machine. They cost like 1500 dollars and you don’t need to buy the damn kcups.

That actually sounds like it might be an improvement…

Smokers can never smell themselves so they don’t think it’s a big deal.

Is that giving a donkey an enema or preforming an enema with a donkey or is it utilizing a donkey to perform an enema…

If you hold it tense you get a rumble as described but the first time I tense it will make a little click. If I keep applying tension and release eventually it will stop clicking and just I’ll just hear the rumble and it will take a bit to “reset” to where it clicks again.

Humans are weird.

Edit: I quick kagi search turns up a Reddit thread saying the clicking is caused by “Voluntary Opening of the Eustachian Tubes” which is equalizing the pressure in my ears. That sorta explains why it stops clicking after a bit.

I can do this as well, as can one of my siblings and my father so I assume there is a generic component. Used to call it “ear clicking” since it is audible to others if they put their ear to yours in a quiet environment.

I figured out that was the name when googling about it some years ago.

No way, these importers are doing it for the good of the country. They are helping make America great again.

Can’t lock people into some service if you do that. They gotta have that recurring monthly revenue.
