The launch price is what killed it. In a genre dominated by AA games, games need to use AA pricetags.

Cars being online has some tangible benefits in that they can transmit location data to emergency services, especially if the driver is unresponsive. Might save someone from dying in a ditch in the middle of nowhere.

Arguably, some of the data collected while driving is also very useful for maintenance and development (e.g. if a lot of vehicles start having a similar issue after X miles).

That said, this data should be limited in scope and use (e.g. must not be sold, especially not to insurance companies), as well as anonymized as much as possible. Which is currently not the case, and that definitely needs regulation.

Petition to bury him in an undisclosed landfill somewhere in the desert.

I recently listened to a podcast about food prevention, and one mayor went on record saying they don’t want to build floodplains to alleviate flooding issues downriver because the last flood originated somewhere else.

Which is an arbitrary string, yes.

I’m not sure I would trust any developer that was involved with that download page. Who decided to sort by an arbitrary string assigned to a build? Might as well sort by hash.

Yes, this does nothing for game dev. But I don’t think it was supposed to.

The fact that this is a genAI Model generating a reasonable, context aware image a whopping 20 times a second is nonetheless pretty impressive.

That’s pretty useful of you’re at a concert holding a beer though!

Through the glory of the former empire, most English accents are technically British.

The sound quality is definitely worse than similarly priced regular headphones or earbuds.

But having the ears completely free make them a great option for cycling or running, where keeping track of your surroundings is literally kind of vital.

I just wish K9 would support nested folders in the sidebar instead of flattening them.

To be fair, they spent a whole lot of money to make the Seine swimmable. The fact that we can even question if it is safe is a huge improvement over the old status quo.

Same, but Eurowings.

Still waiting for the response from b their customer support about the ~600€ they owe me (train ticket to another airport, taxi fare and compensation)

I’m pretty sure Germany uses the exact same logic.

a big open world planet with a dense series of dystopian cities, alongside underground resource-rich zones.

That is stupidly overambitious and will necessarily lead to a lack of detail and charm.

Finally a good use for crypto.

Beef sausage is the norm for currywurst in the Frankfurt area, but pork is much more common everywhere else.

I dislike vdL as well, bit how the hell is this the EU commission’s fault? eIDAS is not fully in place yet, so while it dies have issues, you cannot blame that.

Spain is actively pursuing privacy invasions all by themselves. The Spanish government is actively pushing for the end of encryption in messengers so that shitty AIs can scan your photos and videos because “think of the children”, too.
