I’m not going to defend the Pro exactly, but out of curiosity what is your usecase for needing so much storage on a console? Multiple users? Bad Internet? I feel like I have a max of 1-3 active games at a time, and can just delete and download/install them as needed. Works just fine for me so I feel like something else must be going on.
I wouldn’t say this matches my experience. I’ve used LLMs to improve my understanding of a topic I’m already skilled in, and I’m just looking to understand something nuanced. Being able to interrogate on a very specific question that I can appreciate the answer to is really useful and definitely sticks with me beyond the chat.
I remember reading the manual for a new powertool and it said something like this:
To start the blade, disengage the safety (European models), then press the trigger.
Baffled me.
Jumping on this to second it and also be shamelessly elitist. Factorio is the automation game. Nothing tops it. You may think other games look more beautiful, exciting, or engaging, but they are not. Factorio is also one of the cheaper automation games out there with one of the best developers in the industry. Definitely give it a go!

Maybe a US/UK divide? At least in the UK boffin is relatively inoffensive depending on how it’s used. Eg if I build a fusion reactor in my garden my neighbour might say “wow, look at what this boffin did!” and it would be a complement where boffin is a stand in for a word like genius, only with a tounge in cheek touch of jealousy.
Thinking about it I would say that ‘nerd’ is typically putting someone down for their intelligence or interests, whereas boffin is a light insult while identifying the ‘boffin’ as being smarter than yourself.
I always buy what in my country is typically called “Italian Hard Cheese” for legal reasons. It’s as you say, a very close approximation to the real thing if you’re not too discerning. Main reason for me is that I don’t like parmigiano’s insistence on using rennet from calves.
I was thinking this exactly. I remember Jordan Peterson saying he would not correctly refer to someone if “he was forced to”. The obvious part being that he wouldn’t do it if he wasn’t forced to either. And here are more conservatives forcing speech and patting themselves on the back for it.
Huge fan of Plate Up!. It ruined Overcooked for me. Also been doing a Factorio playthrough on my Steam Deck and it’s made it really accessible for me.
Not exactly at the same level, but a short story related to this topic that I love is Understand by Ted Chiang.
Absolutely love that this is a Newsround article
As far as I understand it, there are political interests too. Not just the obvious, ie a city council wanting to see economic movement within the city. Any regular person with a pension likely has money tied up in real estate. Ensuring those pensions maintain value is a concern for governments.
I have this power, and one little caveat of it is how much I crave dozing, ie being awake, sleepy, and cozy but not needing to get up. I guess could just set my alarm earlier but I need the sleep more
I agree. I really do feel for these people, but with a provider as accessibility friendly as Google, it’s really no different than any other set of people losing a specific brand of service.
FYI ‘boy’ here just comes from the phrase ‘oh boy’ and is a generic expression of excitement, having nothing to do with the gender of the person being addressed.
If the phrase was ‘I have news for you, boy!’ then it would be addressing you as a boy.
Speaking of not knowing things, how do you know the attacker’s pronouns?
To pile onto that, I was recently disturbed to find I was the dissenting voice in a comment thread by saying that we should not use AI to produce generated CSAM. The top comment defended the idea.
Without giving it tons of thought:

Ha. I just meant staring at the oven is not particularly fun. Fair dos on the decorating though.
I guess an hour just isn’t a long time to me, I don’t have a lot of time to play games so I tend to plan ahead. I use the PS app to download games to my console remotely. With the numbers you’re saying, are you really suggesting that you’ve got something like 20-40 games that you need to be able to play at a moment’s notice? I’m honestly not trying to criticise I just can’t relate.
