It ran while simulating a distance of one chunk at a time. Computers could simulate much more because the game was written to let software define just how far from the user to render. Phones rendered hardly anything which let them at least play the game.
It just has an absolute ton of calculations to perform on hardware that is not made for it.
God damnit they’re going to start making tiktoks into gift cards or some shit.
I buy the bulk pack of general purpose gift cards. Some have got flowers on the front. Others say Happy Birthday in gender neutral styling. They’re all blank on the inside. I write messages to people. The pack of 20 cards costs about the same as two of those shitty pre-written gift cards.
Five guys will let you fuck your burger
This echos my last five guys in restaurant people watching experience.
Plenty of systems require operation to know if they are functional or not. So it’s pretty easy to think of ways that the aircraft can indicate a malfunction when it’s first leaving the gate with passengers aboard.
That doesn’t mean it is any less shitty.
JFC more of this? I really wish the FCC had the teeth to prevent this shit.
maybe some have both?
I did get my phone app linked to the car. That was a whole ordeal… that involved Hertz maintenance supervisors.
The walkaway sensor is kind of like a virtual sensor made from multiple different components. Seat occupancy sensor, cabin camera, and bluetooth connection status are all used together to determine if you walk away from the car to lock it and turn off the headlights.
Something in that mess of components was broken because I found the car unlocked with the lights and heater on an hour later in the snow. Not fun when the nearest supercharger was fucking closed down. (On that note, wtf, Tesla?! The damn supercharger was on the map. Take it off the map if it isn’t functioning!)
I just drove one. The walkaway sensor was broken so I had to manually lock the damn thing and turn off the lights by hand each time.
But otherwise at that price? Yes.
And when Courtney Love’s lawyers send you a Cease and Desist letter, you can just pass the shotgun around to end the series
She won’t have a truck soon, either.
Yeah and if you need to know what year, you can just add it to the end like this MM-DD-YY.
Uhg I feel this one. I just cancelled a family subscription to apple plus, because they raised the rates again. It started at $15/mo now they want $26/mo. Nope. But that means I lose access to all the bullshit I play on my phone while pooping.
So I went to download a bunch of games I paid for back in the yesteryear where paying for apps was the norm. I go to open one and I am greeted with this fucking thing
I sure as hell didn’t consent to their collecting and selling my information when I bought the app years ago. And now it is too late to get a refund but I can’t use the app.
Assholes.
I’m stuck with it because of work. Luckily, “Industry 4.0” is completely fucking fed up with M$ and they’re abandoning Windows in droves. I’m just waiting for my vendor to finish polishing their MacOS and Linux alternatives.
Them taking control away from me makes me not use them. Not a problem at all.
As a software developer, I still struggle with windows fuckery. I have to manage about a dozen machines, each of which has different tasks, and sometimes they decide to just up and reboot for the mandatory update. While I am out of state.
Uhg. I spent time yesterday writing a windows service to perpetually send a WoL magic packet to those computers just to avoid this situation again. They may never shut off again.
As a dad… I’m going to have to use this one day.
Turbotax doesn’t support these forms either, tbf. Hell, even tax guys almost never see it.
Minecraft is deceptively hard on cpu and gpus for what the game appears to be. It looks simple, but that simplicity comes at the cost of very high computational loads due to how dynamic and interactive everything is. They add in new features pretty frequently for a game I bought 12 years ago. Those features aren’t free and they stress the system even more. Be happy it is playable at all on a phone - it’s nice that they added in tuning parameters to let your phone be capable of playing it instead of saying you need the newest RTX4090 just to get 30fps
