To me, Wardriving is back in the day when you used to drive around town with a laptop and a program that catalogues all the open wifi networks in range.

The fun tax is real… except unllike the poster below, I was looking for a Base model Subaru and not the WRX (even though the WRX is a bucket list car)
Do you have the time and money to fite that in court against Nintendo?
Anti-cheat measures should be baked into the server side. 99 percent of the multiplayer cheating problem is not adhering to the golden rule of server security: Never Trust the Client
There’s a point where it’s literally TMI and it becomes hard to find what you need unless you spend a lot of time training on it
Pictured: The cockpit of a DC-6, the commercial airliner from the days before jets. “This plane has four engines!” Dramatic camera pan across the miles of instruments
AI consumes power, yes, it’s projected to triple its environmental impact, yes, but its environmental impact is much less than most other things. If anything, the AI hate train draws angry peoples’ focus off the big polluters that matter.
“Arrghle AI is in everything and modern cars track you, I’ll just drive a 30+ year old pickup truck because they don’t has no AI tracking nonsense”
Oil and gas companies: money
It’s a percent against the world’s emissions. Be concerned less with this. AI is the current hate train whipping boy, and takes the pressure of public focus off the biggest polluters.
And that’s why I’m the one that fixes the PC when it breaks… because even good programmers may even consider the pc to be magicboxes if they’ve never turned a screwdriver in their life…
And a spelling mistake on an ai research paper (papercloppers instead of paperclippers) spawns an entire mlp fanfiction where a game dev accidentally makes an AGI to run an MMO that ends up turning the world into a singularity. Friendship is Optimal, after all.
Factorio is always the same price… and the big 2.0 update is next month… with a paid DLC Expansion coming.

Guess that means I’m uncle tech support forever
Imagine if you had blinders and earmuffs on for most of the day, and only once in a while were you allowed to interact with certain people and things. Your ability to communicate would be truncated to only what you were allowed to absorb.
I’ve had people that refuse to use an adblocker because “the creators deserve to get paid”. Well, your funeral if you get malvertising…
From the ashes of the fallen will rise a victor. Let the fools burn their money on dead projects.
Why performance…
Do you like your car’s head unit to spend 1-5 seconds not doing anything before responding to your touchscreen or button press? No? Then yes, performance matters.
Power efficiency? Anything to extend battery life.
The larger components have more space between them… it takes longer for the “tin whiskers” to grow and become a problem. That and these old devices ran at higher voltages, so they have more tolerance to minor voltage fluctuations. Also, plastic does degrade eventually, copper traces can corrode, etc. Build quality matters, too.
Electronics age out over time. The old stuff, made with more materials, take longer to age out. However, the old stuff does not have even a smidgen of the performance or power efficiency the modern stuff does.
…and that is my original point.
Oh, good, this needed to happen. People making grandiose claims about AI’s capabilities that it’s nowhere near ready for needed to be shot down.
