I’ll be staying with win10 ltsc on VMs for as long as I can manage, but most are on a flavour of Linux

Honestly it sounds like you’ve got a network fault. What you’re describing is not normal.

I’ve never heard of that, and I’m not sure I believe it. For a few reasons: 1, Pierce Brosnan did lend his likeness to a bunch of PS1 Bond games, 2, if they used a look alike and presented it as Brosnan it would still be Brosnan’s likeness. 3, they probably had his likeness as part of a greater contract whether or not he personally turned up for the production of said games.

Crispin Glover sued when they used prosthetics on an actor to look like him in the back to the future sequel that he wasn’t hired for. Just because they don’t use your face doesn’t mean it’s not unauthorised use of your likeness.

In one or more of the Buffy games, Sarah Michelle Gellar didn’t turn up to help make the game but she still would’ve received royalties for her likeness.

Movie licensing is legally different to running a game platform. Are there any examples of games being removed from people’s libraries?

I’ve seen a colleague write an API interface for support technicians with AI. As he adds to it or makes changes, the AI breaks something somewhere else. When you ask how to do something he struggles to find where it is on the interface. He says it should be in the documentation, but he doesn’t know where because he vibe coded the documentation as well. Then when he needs to just incorporate extra devices with the same API it becomes a gauntlet because he’s not sure what the AI did for the first set and the new set only gets half the functionality. On top of that, we are running days behind schedule because we spend so much time on debugging it.

If this was done properly from the ground up it would be less messy, have more intent, and it could be a framework for other projects.

Did you include “don’t make mistakes” in the prompt? No? Rookie mistake bro.

I have no idea what your sofa analogy is trying to say.

My friends and I made fun of ff7s terrible graphics when it came out, but the game was so good the bad graphics didn’t matter. Ff16 looked amazing, but the game is so boring it doesn’t matter.

People don’t want bleeding edge from final fantasy, they want a good game.

There was a stretch in the late 90s where squaresoft released a final fantasy nearly every year for 5 years. Now it’s once every 7+ years. I don’t believe it should be that hard to make games these days. There are more people working on the projects, more tools and pre-made engines/libraries available. It’s purely a management/budgeting problem.

When the CEO keeps saying they’ll have full auto pilot in the next few years for over a decade, then complains that the problem is the government stopping then from rolling it out, you start to question if it should ever be rolled out. At least maybe not by a for profit entity who puts profits before safety.

Technically recording TV on VHS is piracy, but in practice no one is getting sued for it.

Mine works when the internet is down. Why doesn’t yours?

So, it sounds like it doesn’t offer a remote streaming service like Plex then. You just publicly expose or use a VPN like you can with Plex.

You can get around this by extending your network with a VPN. I know that’s an extra config, but a lot of people who are setting up home labs are already doing this anyway.

How does jellyfin offer remote streaming without a VPN?

It’s a shame that it’s only when they get caught. There’s no excuse for driving drunk.

And there are algorithms that can ID individuals from their gait

I think it might be connected to that Spiderbait concert and not wearing earplugs at the time.

I miss GameFAQs text pages. Now it’s YouTube videos stretched out to 10 minutes to explain 30 seconds worth of info.

Got it.

That seems pretty cool.

I’m a little confused. It’s this a self hosted program? Following the link I see a monthly subscription cost.

What’s the name of that plugin?
