It needs the American version of the game. Looks like I have to wait until other regions are covered, too.

Professional SovCit idiots.
Another AfD politician recently was caught on camera taking Russian money.
But you are right, this is a general theme among right-wing politicians. Brexit is hailed as one of Putins biggest successes in weakening Europe, and Trump is a total Putin (and Xi and Kim Jong-un) fanboy, if not even a Russian secret service asset.
Been there, seen that, on an Arena browser on a black-and-white X terminal.
He said he has no idea how but they made him try anyways.
Uh, I’ve been present when such a thing happened. Not in the military, though. Guy should install driver on a telephone system, despite not being a software guy (he was the guy running the wires). Result: About as bad as expected. The company then sent two specialists on Saturday/Sunday to re-install everything.
My answer: “I don’t play Windows”.
One of the most common problems of government or other big organisation software is that they don’t scale, either “not well” or “not at all”.
Some guy hacks up a demo that looks nice and seems to do what customer wants, but then it turns out a) that it only allows for (number of open ports on one machine) users at the same time, and b) it only works if everything runs on one machine. Or worse, one core.
It was an NI. A Natural Intelligence.
In a way, this happened to my daughter. She is studying in a foreign country, the courses are in English (not our native language), and of course she is writing all her papers in English, too. Which she is very good at, so the texts are usually perfect from a language point of view. She had already been rated “native speaker” in school although she actually isn’t, and worked as an editor on an English language story website back then, fixing American and British native speakers’ spelling problems).
Other students actually asked her what AI she was using to write her papers. Guess who was seriously pissed…
Apart from 3., I’m in full agreement.
Yes, of course they have complained to the courts. That’s not the point. This simply will go nowhere, or do you expect that the court will somehow separate Activision out of Microsofts hands again to fix this? Or punish the managers at Microsoft and make them withdraw the execution plan to remove redundant jobs?
At the end of it, Microsoft will eventually pay a small, symbolic sum which they consider “cost of conducting business”. Nothing more.
As if they would care. What is the FTC going to do about it? Most likely do nothing, or issue a stern warning.
If I have to work on an American QUERTY keyboard, I have to look for each and every special character. Because our QWERTZ-keyboard has them in other places to make space for all the interesting characters an American keyboard simply fails to offer.
The problem is, whatever you say against any person that by accident is also jewish, you will be called “antisemite” for it. It is a natural defense reflex. Even if you have clear video evidence of the person e.g. raping and killing babies, you will be the evil antisemite.
I stand corrected. Thank you!
There is an easily hackable and cheap device from IKEA by the name of “VINDRIKTNING”. There are YT videos on how to wifi-enable that thing and integrate it into home automation services.
Are people in the affected area more conservative than others, or just more stupid?
That’s peanuts compared to what they “lost” in Afghanistan and Iraq.
I like scientific cooking. I’m a big fan of Sebastian Lege, who is a cook and food designer, and who knows all the little chemical tricks of the food industry. I wish he would publish a cook book: On the left, a recipe for the dish as made by a professional chef with normal ingredients, on the right the recipe for the same dish as made by the food industry.
I remember one show where he made “Banana Milk”. The banana flavor was made from vinegar, some alcohol, and some other acid…
Just today, I applied one of his ideas. I made a Chinese dish with chicken, and added baking powder to the marinade made from soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, salt, oil, and chili. And it was amazing!
“I’m sorry we got caught on this.”
