Also having every game run on experimental / hotfix by default is a bit of a wild ride. Will my game work today? Who knows!

There’s an alternate reality where Google was good. They improve the world and push humanity forwards with creative and helpful technology. Instead, we get Gemini

That’s a bit misleading.

A bunch of links in an unlisted share directory were indexed and crawled by Google. A Reddit user found them via Google Dorking, and discovered private conversations they shouldn’t have had access to. It’s not clear how Google discovered these links. To prevent this, Anthropic should have added a “no index” flag to this directory, which they have fixed now.

Some rougelike games are a bit similar mechanically; but it’s ultimately a unique game and experience with no peers.

PowerWash Simulator 2 has local co-op split screen… I was so happy to discover this. No fiddling or friction with multiple devices and internet problems, can just relax and play together with someone. Just thought I’d share because it’s kind of hidden in the top right of the pause menu

Yeah it’s really bad situation right now, but the reality is nobody is willing to actually decide what to do about it. Lawmakers and courts are still struggling with how the internet works, let alone A.I.

Honestly I barely look at the car time. I usually use Apple drive or Android Auto

I’m not obligated to answer

Saving this for later since it’s a long read, but unironic “occult utterances” is already intriguing

It gets down to 4°C sometimes where I live, so not that harsh comparatively. I’ve experienced -5°C when traveling and it’s a whole different thing, my Australian ass was not equipped for that environment lol. Let alone -20, I’d probably just die. But above 0 it feels like good pants are probably good enough.

Honestly the bigger problem here is the opposite; on a 40°C day the seats and steering wheel become lava. I keep gloves in the car just to not burn myself in summer. I wouldn’t mind “cooled” seats and steering wheel instead of heated, but that sounds harder to pull off somehow.

It’s not the first tone deaf car feature sold in Australia, though. The worst are the holes in the ceiling to let the sun in. Free skin cancer for everyone!

I think we found the service that’s responsible for astroturfing Reddit with thousands of memes / ads per day. The real question being asked is, is it breach of copyright to use an artist’s work for commercial uses? Probably yes. If it were a human doing it.

A.I. makes things complicated though, because it’s almost entirely created by plagiarised work in the first place, so that can of worms remains mostly sealed.

Good thing wildlife are known for their terrible hearing

If you know someone’s rough location, you can narrow it down a lot more if you know their car details. Especially if you get right down to exact make model year and colour. How many of your neighbours drive the exact same car as you?

I remove my own default upvote from my comments because I’m a weirdo. Maybe that contributes? People see it’s already at 0 votes and join in?

Edit: in my client I can see both up and down votes separately. So in this case it’s a controversial post with currently equal up and down votes

Yeah it seems strange to me, but it must be popular for some people.

People here often assume I’m being disingenuous or acting in bad faith, I’m not sure what causes that to happen though. Maybe it’s the way I type?

I don’t want to dox myself, sorry

I still play it every couple of years. Love that game. I think they’re still updating it even

Wow a whole app just for your car? That’s pretty fancy. I don’t see the appeal personally, but going by the vote ratio I must be in the minority. I like my stuff to be simple

As a side note, heated seats suck, I don’t get the appeal. It makes me feel like I’m wetting myself.

Wow that sucks… in my car the time is off by an hour half the year because I never bother to update it for daylight savings. I assume it keeps a timer running somewhere to keep it on track
