Thats exactly what I am thinking as well

Im glad amidst all of the cuts Halo faced during the life of Infinite that HCS managed to keep going strong. While I’m not a big esports fan, the events have always been excellent substitutions for official Halo-centered conventions.

Yeah everything I have read is the performance bump to M5 will be modest at best and all the fun rumored stuff like OLED isn’t coming until at least the M6 models.

My work got me an M4 Pro at the beginning of the year and it has been awesome to use, M4s are definitely super tempting.

I have a 2015 MBP that I was hoping to finally replace in the fall, I guess I can wait a few more months, but this is a huge bummer

It should be noted that Thingiverse’s policy is against “firearms” and not guns in general. The company has no problem with replica props, airsoft guns, sci-fi blaster toys, or gun-like objects that shoot candy.

“AI will be used only to flag potentially harmful designs, but a human will always be the one to decide if something should be removed,” Chapman told Tom’s Hardware. If a file is removed from Thingiverse, it will be removed by a person, not a machine.

This was my biggest worry, otherwise I see 99% of removed files just being cosplay props

Reports on Twitter that they are deleting previously purchased games from users’ libraries as well.

My library district actually just got access to Mango in May, I downloaded it, but I haven’t had a chance to try it

Thanks!

I’m switching over to Babbel when my duo subscription lapses in the fall, much less gamified, actual human speakers for the language I want to learn, and they aren’t trying to shovel AI into everything like duo is

Streak addiction is real, I had one Snapchat streak years ago that was over 1500, the person it was with and I would send one snap a day of nothing really just to keep the streak going. It got to the point that the one snap was the only time I communicated with that person, and it was honestly a relief when the streak finally lapsed. I had a few times where I was camping with no signal and would literally go on hikes with no destination just to find phone signal to send my daily snap to them.

Number go up makes monkey brain happy, even when you’re aware of how dumb it is.

So much for everything in the exchange being permanent, but they love their FOMO

It’s time to bring back the Colbert Report
