I literally went through this pyramid while standing in the LEGO store a couple years ago. Was like, yeah you know what, this will bring me a lot of joy for years both building it and looking at it. Also it was right after it came back in sale and they were $1000 on eBay. So I was like yeah I need to buy it now! So yeah anyway I spent $800 on a LEGO set lmao

Also re: Dell if you don’t like the look of RGB gamer laptops, they put the same hardware in their XPS line which is more designed around MacBook looks (aluminum, minimal).

Maybe, just maybe Ford is doing all these horrid patents so they can just hold on to them so no one can make them… Would actually be pretty brilliant . That being said wayze already has ads.

People don’t like being told their wrong

Tbh Lenmy has a lot of old users. Not a horrible thing but there are parts of Reddit I miss within my age group.

They got an EOTECH Holo attachment?

Warning about those hanging fly traps. I used them and somehow the glue got aerosolized and spread to every surface of my apartment. I never no idea how this happened but everything I own was covered in brown sticky dots. It was a mother fucker to clean.

I feel like “fuck the French” is a prerequisite to being mayor or Paris

Yeah I remember that post on Reddit. Holy shit my mans literally ran like 1000ft of copper through his ceiling into his house’s plumbing lmao. He also had a WILD monitor setup, was more like a pit than a desk.

Actual Rule #1 of signing an NDA: unless you work on Defense, NDAs are virtually unenforceable

But seriously it’s that Christian Bale?

Star Wars Fallen Order has a great story and really fun gameplay.

Yeah, justified.

The Hero with 1000 Faces

Oh damn really good point. I was thinking the same as OP until your comment. Rebels definitely dove into this aspect in a very similar way like the Fremen. Andor hinted at it as well. Both explore what life is like for the everyday inhabitants of the galaxy, which is why they’re so cool.

Although Dune was certainly more deliberate with making the indigenous people rising as a core part of the main story. Haha the Jihad was also a significantly different response than the Rebellion though.

So real answer time on subs from the Adobe side. Albeit not popular.

The real reason for subscription based licencing is push updates based on new tech with Adobe. Back in the day you had to wait for a new version of Premiere/Photoshop etc to support new camera codecs or new features like background proxy generation. This had to do with what’s considered a new software package and software patent law with how you pay devs.

So you pay for features ABC for version 10. And pay for features ABCDE in version 11. But it you’re paying a subscription service they can “live” update the produt to rollout ABCDEFGH constantly as they’re ready to ship.

Yeah it’s basically Adobe being cheap and not wanting to pay their devs better and for that I definitely agree fuck sub models. But for us professionals live updates in post is a godsend and also allowed our camera and production tech to upgrade at breakneck speeds.

At the end of the day Adobe is the best choice because the alternatives are mostly not software dev and UI focused. And they are on top of their game tech wise. So we’re pretty much at their mercy on how they wanna charge us. I’m always excited to see what BMD is doing with DaVinci Resolve - the best pro color grading software out there btw. They’ve been pushing their NLE editing package of the software hard and is free, highly recommend. Would love to see them overtake Adobe like Adobe overtook Avid.

AK-47 is pretty high up there too

Promise?

Hell or High Water is a pretty accurate depiction of how shittily our government treats our vets I’d say though. The small town struggles of everything that isn’t owned by 3 corporations closing is pretty realistic too. Just needed more meth/heroin to be authentic.

Yeah my university commons and lab computers had 3 options you could select before reserving one: Windows, OSX, and Ubuntu.
