I, presumably like some others, consider the Opera web browser to have been discontinued in 2013 when they abandoned Presto and became yet another Chromium re-skin, in the process losing many of the features we'd come to know and love. Maybe the GP hasn't bothered to keep up-to-date on the latest Opera Chromium (Chropera? Opium?) happenings.

You know, the one thing I always thought was missing from my overpriced Disney+ subscription was user-generated "AI" slop.

It's ironic given that videos I uploaded at 640x480 and were originally accessible at that resolution now only exist in 240p versions. :/

One would hope that a team member correctly identifying a suspicious email and warning co-workers about it would be considered a successful result of a phishing test.

Nominative determinism at work!

It's the former. The meaning of "volunteer" here is to do something voluntarily, as opposed to by compulsion. Employees are being asked to do something outside the scope of their normal work duties, during working hours, for pay, without being assigned to it by their managers.

As much as we'd all like to imagine the hypocrisy of one of the world's largest companies asking its employees for free labor, that doesn't seem to be what's happening here.

Each cloud service should have a couple of days per year on which they shut down for 24 hours so everyone can practice their contingency plans.

I never played Doom with the mouse before the ports, but I thought you could configure it to turn only - not move you forward and backward. The default controls weren't ideal, but you could definitley remap the them, and I used Z and X for strafe left and right, which allowed turning and strafing simultaneously. WSAD + mouse was definitely possible out of the box.

I think that's probably true for console players, but I had already played Doom and Quake (which came out a year prior) before playing Goldeneye on my cousins' N64, so I already had expectations for first-person shooters, and I remember being frustrated that it was comparatively lacking in some areas, notably the controls. I seem to recall that you had to unlock the ability to use different controller input layouts, which seemed bizarre even then. Being used to mouse + WASD for gameplay made using a controller an adjustment, but I did recognize how great the 4-player splitscreen deathmatch was.

It definitely added more story and purposeful level design than the basic versions of Doom and Quake, although some of the id-based games like Strife and Hexen had already expanded on that a bit.

In answer to the original topic, I think it's probably either Super Mario Bros or Wolfenstein 3D, both of which while not the first of their respective genres established the basic systems used by their successors as well as achieving widespread appeal. They're a bit like the iPhone in that regard - not the first, but the first ones that everyone wanted, and what everyone else imitated thereafter.

Well at least they warned you first!

I saw this video yesterday, and it really stings / stinks (stingks?) because I was *just* about to buy a Brother inkjet because they didn't do this BS. Our pre-scam-era HP Deskjet finally died and I need to print stuff. I might still get one, but it's tremendously disappointing to hear. I'll have to look for other brands - I saw a comment on Rossman's video that Konica Minolta printers haven't succumbed yet, but they seem to be pricey business-oriented laser printers, not exactly what I need at home.

Yes, I wasn't precise about the RAM usage - in Windows it's limited to 96GB for VRAM, more in Linux. I thought I saw 110 for the latter reported somewhere, but can't find it now.

This sounds like an admission that generative models in their current form are overhyped - not the transformative panacea they're sold as. I don't think he was supposed to admit that publicly...

Since the 128GB VRAM hints at this machine's true niche, I think that measuring computer performance in TOPS/gallon is perfectly cromulent for comparison purposes.

Because as every nerd knows...

There are four lights!!!
