Fishburne was very diplomatic when asked for his opinion on the finished Matrix 4: “it was better than I expected, but not as good as I had hoped”.

Hugo weaving, the actor for Smith, didn’t appear in the film due to alleged scheduling conflicts, but I suspect he took a look at the script and noped out of it.

It’s a shame, it could’ve been good.

Some of the best games are games that no one asked for.

What’s the ffxiv reference here?

Anubis is from Egyptian mythology.

The ideas have always been there, it’s just a bottle neck on cheap electronics and people figuring out the foundation technology. I can’t think of to many tech advancements that have surprised me; that’s not too say they aren’t impressive, but just about anything we can imagine is possible.

The main thing I don’t expect to see is useful and reliable brain/electronics interfaces. I think biology is too unique for an of the shelf product to be possible, which means it’s too hard to make a profitable product.

The Australian government is heavily criticised for half-assing fibre internet because they did copper to the house in most cases. We still, a decade later, have one of the worst internet in the western world.

I think satellites are likely much cheaper to deliver internet to a whole continent than trying to run bloody copper.

I don’t think climate change will prevent reaching that number, but it will increase the suffering. If we don’t start reversing climate change I believe we will try to adapt to it until we reach the limit of our ability to adapt before we perish. If we are lucky, a small fraction of the species will survive long enough for something to be able to change, but I’m talking a really long time.

That’s a plus. I drove a hire car with a joystick/dial/button thing that could control the touch screen. It was so much easier to pay attention to driving while controlling something on screen. With touch screens you need to watch your finger as you press because there’s no tactile feedback.

Ultrasonic wireless communication has been a thing for years. The scary part is you can’t even hear when it’s happening.

Sad story.

That’s enough money to have a good life and provide a good life to your loved ones. If he never finds it, he is a crazy man. If he finds it he is a smart man. A normal person can’t earn that much in a lifetime. Even a miniscule chance of finding it could drive someone to obsession.

For the sake of his sanity, and for a good story, I hope he finds it, but I doubt he will.

“unplugged nation” is certainly one way to describe what happened. The monkey very briefly became part of the electricity grid, is another.

And from memory, the number of enemies scales with the number of players. It’s gets pretty hectic pretty fast.

There’s heaps of mods for classic games to turn them into co-op, including Doom (3), half life, quake, aliens vs predator, etc.

Lol

“The best way to run arch is to have a second non-arch computer at all times”

I think that sums it up

Unless you are suggesting that actual election fraud took place, these guys got democratically elected.

From the outside it seems like this is what the majority of your voting public wanted, and the majority of your adult population were fine with it and chose not to vote. If it were the first time I would consider it as revealing a major flaw in your political system, but this is the second time, non consecutively, that this has happened. That just looks like this is representative of your people. Sorry.

What percentage of your adult population vote for him? Isn’t it something like 1/6th of your population?

I doubt car manufacturers offer the ability to jailbreak their car OS to independent repair shops.

You’re looking for a hacker, not a dude who changes oil.

I doubt there would be any auto shops that can reliably deal with software side elements that aren’t the dealership, and the dealership would refuse.

They did exactly that, except they changed the name of the original subscription to “classic” and upgraded everyone to the more expensive plan without asking.

This is actually illegal in some countries, and I hope they get fined for it.

Flashback

I played it on the SNES. It’s a sci-fi platformer that I felt shared themes with movies like Total Recall, They Live, Blade Runner, Running Man.

You start as Conrad, who has crash landed on Titan, being chased by mysterious bad guys, and with no memory of why. All you have is a gun, and a video recording of yourself telling you where to go for the next clue.

They released it in such a state that Sony removed it from their store and offered full refunds.
