Thinking quickly, Generative AI constructs a playable version of Doom, using only some string, a squirrel, and a playable version of Doom.

Sebo is more reliable these days, I'm really happy with mine.

It's pretty common not to have heard of his works, Astro Boy is the only one that made it over to the West but it's never gotten a ton of attention. I remember the 2003 series got some play on Saturday mornings and Toonami but it was really short-lived.

Pluto which came out on Netflix late last year is a reinterpretation of an Astro boy arc that's done fairly well.

MAPPA also made a great anime adaptation of Dororo a few years ago but it mostly flew under the radar.

I just like having a mini tablet on me all the time. The big screen is great for playing games and watching shows when you're on public transit.

We're on the sixth generation of folding sceens, they're far from prototype tech by now.

I've been using a z fold3 since it came out. I've had to replace the screen once (under warranty) and replace the stock screen protectors but I still love it and plan to get another foldable whenever it kicks the bucket.

the crease is extremely noticeable and is filled with dust and debris

Your relative needs his screen protector replaced. Some people just take it off and live dangerously.

I had forgotten until I saw this comment but now I distinctly remember a game where you were supposed to make a cake for a pig by following steps like putting the correct ingredients into the mixer. My sister and I used to repeatedly mess up the cake on purpose because the pig would eat it no matter what and we found it hilarious to feed him awful cakes made entirely of burnt eggshells.

Disagree, without IP laws whoever has the most money can crush all competition. An example of this is how the first pump hand soap softsoap couldn't patent the hand pump design because it already existed so they just bought all the existing stock to prevent anyone from releasing a competing product.

If you get rid of IP laws you'll just further entrench the existing winners.

Write a good book? Without copyright, Penguin random house publishes an exact copy at a higher quality and sells a million copies while you sell a handful to discerning fans.

Build a quality product? Without trademark, proctor and gamble flood the market using your brand name and nobody can distinguish their products from yours even though their quality is much worse.

Invent something revolutionary? Without patents you have to keep your process a secret so you don't get copied. If you get hit by a bus your invention is now lost to society forever unless someone manages to reverse-engineee it.

Not before abolishing capitalism or you're just making things worse.

Are you sure you didn't get the concentrate?

I always wonder how many people don't realize that olives aren't supposed to taste like a tin can and have the texture of wet cardboard.
