You're doing it wrong if that's what you're trying to do.

Just calculated a Dutch family of 4's average annual water usage and converted that to US gallons, which gives 45,000 gallons / year. That's only off by a factor 2, not too insanely far out. But I'm sure they used the biggest number they could get away with.
Hear hear. I have a Brother HL-3140CW color laser that I bought for $20 including all of the (large) toners that were at 95% and last ~2000 pages. Previously I've had different dumped office laser printers as well, and a Canon inkjet printer because I wanted the occasional nice photo print. No more though, it's cheaper to just order those online for the few times I need it since the damn ink always dries out. The printer had the nerve to have its head die and refuse to do any of its other functions (like scanning) until the head was replaced. That thing got a nice "Office Space" goodbye.
Looks like they copy-pasted the polygons, did some minor work to it (shuffle some body parts around?), and then probably ran the textures through an AI image generator to come up with new ones.
If the 3d models are literally ripped from the data files, that sounds like a sure-fire way to get sued. If they're 99.9% replicas copied by hand..maybe? They're definitely testing the waters here, curious how it will play out.
Well he did cleverly respond to someone calling him out that they can't disprove it does NOT have an effect, therefore he is right.
I guess that really is all there is to know here. And people are of course eating it up like crazy.
I ran linux on the most minimal configuration I could cobble together, for shits and giggles. A 386SX at 16Mhz, with 2MB of ram, on a 40MB hard drive. It would dial in to an ISP and share the connection with all computers in the house. The kernel had to be compiled to the most minimal version possible so it could enable swap and then load in the required modules for anything it didn't need to just boot. It wasn't very fast but it *did* function.
Ah yes, slashdot, where Disney gets all its inspiration.
The new gov't for the Netherlands meanwhile has planned for the addition of nuclear plants. They're direct neighbors of Germany. How much more silly can you get. I am convinced, especially given the political situation, the Netherlands is doing the right thing here. Plus, the country is too small to rely on only other renewables anyway for the forseeable future.
> False flags conspiracies aside, this makes her a sketchy person.
That is a very big jump. It is also plausible that someone else bought these followers to smear her, there was no proof she did this. And it's probably a pretty easy thing to do. Looks like it worked though.
Does this also mean that if you want to silence anyone on twitter, all you need to do is buy them some fake followers while they are in the spotlight?
> this is the future people are willing to pay for; good original programming on streaming services
Somewhat, but not in its current form. I would prefer pay per view on a single platform instead of having tens of subscriptions because each of them occasionally has something I want to watch. I'm too casual of a viewer, so now I am subscribed to absolutely nothing at all and consume pretty much only content from youtube and my own library. Early days online netflix was good as well as it had enough content to warrant an acceptable monthly fee.
I think the crux is that some of those theories started off pretty cleverly and there was often a lot of sarcasm involved. Then, other people actually run with it and take it far too seriously. Like with the boogaloo stuff.
I honestly can't imagine well educated people actually fall for these obvious fabrications. I highly question that poll. But I only have a bachelor degree,, so apparently I am somehow enlightened when it comes to these matters
What's worse is that Zyxel had a 2016 CVE for having a hardcoded plain text password in the firmware to elevate privileges of any user. This one's worse as it doesn't even need a non-privileged user, and in fact even works on the built in HTTPS server's admin interface. And these are mostly corporate devices too. This level of not giving a fuck when you're in that business should end said business.

> making a very bold statement that is not supported by evidence can only raise suspicion
That is literally Trump campaign's strategy.
