Comment Played in 93... (Score 1) 18

I played it in 93 on shareware from walnut creek cdrom. More recently, like 30 minutes ago I played a UZDoom MOD called Dragon remastered. The mod has custom music from synth to live. Brutal Doom is as good as most of what comes out today. Zandorum lets you frag strangers, and UZDoom is buttery smooth on a boatload of hardware configs.
self confessed Doom fanboi

Once on a development Unix machine we loaded a doom process monitoring tool and Frag'd our problems away.

It's also toxic if you ingest or inhale or touch it. People are used to the risks of gasoline, or complacent. Nice thing about lithium batteries is that you won't have to inhale the fumes every morning while stuck in traffic. (Only solution to traffic jams is bikes, buses, and trains. EVs won't solve that quality of life issue)

My tablet is an N350 (Star Labs StarLite), roughly in the same ballpark as N100 and N150. It's enough to play on dndbeyond. But whatever you considered "very capable" does not align what I consider barely capable.

I stand by my OP that it's a piece of crap. And that it's not about AI but about getting compromised hardware into your home.

They are trying to bootstrap usage by placing some value on Claude credits that will surely woo people not using Claude. /s
I've used Meta AI several times but only for art work based on my RPG game scene descriptions. We used to have a talented artist as part of the group, but she's moved on. My skills creatively are limited to writing, but I've gotten spoiled with pic's of my NPC's. I make my maps painfully thru Campaign cartographer, but visual aids add so much to the game.

Except it's too low spec to play games or do any heavy browsing. So it becomes a foot-in-the-door for an AI agent to snoop your home networks and copy your personal information. For the low low price of $399. Plus whatever you will need to pay to Anthropic, OpenAI, etc to actually have access to their APIs when free tiers disappear next year.

"We never pay any-one Dane-geld,

For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!"

There is a good reason that law "law enforcement agencies around the world" advise again paying cyber criminals. And it isn't because law enforcement is dumb, or that they like seeing you getting your data stolen.

I remember perhaps 20 years ago, some futurists were predicting that most of the time we'd interact with agents. That we'd each have our own personal assistant to curate and present us the information we need. This particular interview (sorry, I don't remember who it was) used the example that an agent would put together your daily newspaper specifically for you from multiple sources. I thought it seemed like kind of a stupid idea...

If they weren't ripping people of with every purchase there would no need for a "discount". I was the "guy" who was forced to replace our really nice Commodore Pet computers with that crApple BS in HS. Apple never did anything for the schools that they didn't get paid for. Their software SUCKS, their networking SUCKS. In an effort to be "cool" and trendy apple has made supporting their stuff annoying time consuming.

Macroeconomic theory was surprisingly deficient in the mid-century Soviet Union, or rather someone there took Marx's surplus value theory to the logical extreme, while ignoring all other research on the subject. But hey, not the first time people slavishly follow a single source material to their detriment. (most religions are the same way)
