Yeah, you can definitely tell the show was filtered through the lense of “what will the average person understand”. I just appreciated the focus on actually building something vs just seeing the business side of it.

It’s definitely satire, but I feel Silicon Valley did a decent job. Yes they absolutely made things up, but it was more about the backend and pushing updates and servers being erased because someone accidentally sat a drink on a keyboard.

Hmmm, it’s almost like the study was testing peoples perception of the usefulness of AI vs the actual usefulness and results that came out.

Isn’t there an episode where a gould is dialing in and blasting the iris? Like, he dials in faster than they can establish a wormhole connection themselves, and then sends shit through, blasting the iris and heating it up(because the iris is like one atoms space away from the event horizon). When he starts dialing in, they only have X seconds to try to dial out themselves.

Now here’s where my memory is fuzzy: Samantha reprograms the gate dialing software to dial faster. Faster than a traditional dialer can. They talk about “we only have X time between gate closing and when he can dial back”. I seem to remember them trying to dial out during that time, locking chevrons in, and then the sequence being overridden by the incoming gould connection. So wed see like 5 chevrons lock, then it would suddenly break and be that other incoming call. They had to dial out BEFORE that call incoming connected. So they were locking in chevrons on Earth side for a call out while a call was being placed to earth from elsewhere. So chevrons CANT lock simultaneously or you couldn’t do that. It has to be one after the other.

Exactly. This is just an ad disguised as outrage bait.

Exactly. Less bootlickering and more “Leopards Ate My Face” material. This was heavily forseable. If they did this as a protest against copyright and announced it from the start, it would be one thing. But this was just incompetence and ignorance at a level that will likely ruin them.

Oh look, bullshit filling my feed. You know this just means I can’t trust anything you post today and will proceed to ignore any actual announcements, right? And anything cool that does actually happen today will be ignored?

Pranks need to be actual pranks. Not “I’m gonna lie to you because it’s April 1st”. That’s just lying during the one day everyone expects you to lie. It’s the most basic and lowest effort “prank”.

You mean there’s not still a team of developers working full time to make sure your 8 year old hardware is still getting software/security parity? Color me shocked. Shocked I say! They should support your hardware for free forever! How dare they advance in such a way that it’s not possible for my 8 year old hardware to run the exact same as modern hardware that’s been updated and iterated hundreds of times since then.

Some dude was ranting somewhere recently about GitHub and “I just want the damn exe, not a bunch of stupid code”. It became a bit of a meme.

So what you’re saying is there’s a minority, with fewer people to turn to, and we shouldn’t help them because there are “more pressing issues”… Please tell me you see the irony?

Wasn’t the whole point the rid the word of that exact feeling of helplessness and isolation?

Ever hear a completely accurate and factual joke? They’re boring. Just admit you don’t like the joke and move on. You don’t need to further the very stereotype you hate so much.

That’s the irony part that you’re just not getting.

It’s more like “Hey, don’t Arch users totally fit this stereotype?”, but again, look how defensive you get. It’s hilarious that you don’t see the irony. The joke literally starts with “Arch users…”, but you zero in on the vegan part. You didn’t even need to comment. You could’ve just downvoted and moved on.

I really hope you can appreciate the irony. Humor is good for the soul, buddy.

Kinda proving the point tho. The joke was more on Arch users and everyone in here is writing paragraphs defending Gluten Free/Vegan. But, like the meme is pointing out, you just gotta talk about it! 😂

Oh, does “bitching” offend you? Would you rather I say “you are so prepared to be annoyed by something that you completely gloss over the facts in front of you so that you can present the situation in a negative light”? Is that better? Ffs, they LOWERED the price and you’re over here spouting Big Capitalism Conspiracies®.

I’m way more worried that there are people like you amongst us than I am of Big Sweater confusing me with multiplication. Maybe worry more about the education system if a tag like that is so confusing to you.

You can clearly see there is a sticker over the original price. It originally probably was a bulk deal that the store reduced to an all around deal.

You’re over here bitching about people who can’t do math and you can’t even see.

I found asking it to answer in an acrostic poem defeated everything. Ask for “information” to stay vague and an acrostic answer. Solved it all lol.

Or go the BluAir route and offload all the processing onto the cloud. They sell the new machines for the same cost as the old machines, but they’re dumb as a bag of bricks. If not connected to the cloud, none of the automatic settings work correctly. When you contact customer support to troubleshoot why it doesnt work on auto mode, the first thing they have you do is delete it and reconnect it to the app. No care about updates. Its just a fan on a wifi switch now. Total junk.

I’m not talking the law, I’m talking what the tip actually is in practice. It’s the service charge. You’re paying for the server to serve you. The tip isn’t for the food. It for the server serving. Just because you’ve been conned and guilted into accepting this as normal doesn’t make it right. And just because it’s taxed doesn’t mean it’s still not extra income to the resturaunt. Would it be ok if I mugged you but paid taxes on the money and gave it a cutesy name?
