Valve also clarified today that it was the processors, not the card management companies, that they talked to. The processors were pointing at MasterCard’s rules, but refusing to provide Valve with someone at MasterCard to talk to.

It’s in a High Noon box and the other three flavors are in High Noon cans. It’s one flavor packaged in the wrong can.

You aren’t going to buy an energy drink and get alcohol. If somebody buys alcohol, they may find something inside that doesn’t look like alcohol.

They aren’t disagreeing with that. They are reporting that a source within the government claims the footage in the gap exists.

All we know is a disclaimer on each photo that AI tech was used. These could be real photos on blank backgrounds with the background generated and composited later. They could be photos of the garments on mannequins with the whole person being generated. They could be face replacements so that future models can’t get famous and demand more money.

No matter what, these still took a lot of editing to get to print. They still needed at least one photo of the garments.

There’s a skill tree, equipment (not clothing/weapons like most RPGs, but still equipment), and crafting. That’s enough to make it an RPG mechanically.

There’s also the perspective definition. You are embodying a person separate from yourself and you are expected to make choices as them. Textbook RPG.

Dishonored is an RPG. It also adjusts the world based on your body count, with corruption getting worse as you kill people.

It did to me too until I zoomed in.

My wife thinks it is beads using a finger for scale. The glitter effect on the finger is likely fresh adhesive sticking them there.

Why are you getting adds on Lemmy?!

1/3 appears to be an eyeliner stencil. 4 and 6 are clothing. 5 is glass orbs full of low-freezing-point liquid so they stay liquid in a freezer but have high thermal mass. They are used in some woowoo skincare routines to cool skin.

2 is very weird. It’s an index finger that appears to be covered in glitter and tiny orbs.

If it was an electrical issue, they wouldn’t have been able to just turn them back on, which one of the pilots did.

The two switches were moved to off sequentially with the right amount of gap for a human doing it quickly. One of the pilots then questioned why they were off, and they were then both turned back on individually a short time later.

The possibility the FAA was investigating was whether the latches on the switches may not work, allowing them to be moved unintentionally. This was unlikely due to the timing, but they still had to eliminate it.

I work for a competing company in the same space. We have found that self-serve kiosks do not cut labor. They increase throughput at peak times and, by extension, increase guest satisfaction and revenue. We often have to hire more people to keep up with increased demand, while still employing a similar number of people helping guests as were cashiers before.

Edit: Ah, Fenway is Aramark. They don’t care at all about guest satisfaction. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are slashing labor in self-service stands.

Roblox is not a game engine. It’s a child labor farm. Stay well away.

There are a lot of simple tutorials for Godot. It’s not hard to get into.

His series are usually 3-4 books of varying length, often with one-offs in between installments. Stormlight, for example, is done. There will likely be a sequel series in 5-10 years, which gives plenty of time to catch up.

Targeting payment processors to force change within a business often leads to overreaction. That’s how we got Onlyfans announcing that it was banning porn entirely. Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal become quite unreasonable when these groups start gaining traction.

This same group pushed to get Detroit: Become Human pulled because it has the player controlling a victim of abuse protecting another victim. There is zero nuance to their target choices. If they get pull with payment processors, they can go “this is a child abuse simulator!” and get something like that pulled with less public support behind them.

Yes. Nothing is truly incompressible. The speed of sound can be viewed as a measure of how much a material can squish on the atomic level before the next atoms move.

They are blind, not obtuse. Norton ≠ Notion.

You should look at a set tour for Technology Connections on YouTube.

His backdrop is a wall of cube organizers with interesting objects and artifacts from previous episodes. Each cube is backlit, some with flat colors and some with pictures.

The backlights are actually TV screens displaying an array of images that align with the edges of the cubes.

Is it a bad thing? I’ve shared location data with my sister and my now-wife for a decade. It’s really handy when meeting up using transport options that aren’t on precise timetables, estimating when people will be home, etc.

Different issues. The 101% issue is that the released video is shorter than the time elapsed on the timestamps. The difference between timestamp and playback speed adds up over time to 7ish minutes iirc.

This issue is that the video is made from two clips. One cuts out at 11:58:58 and the other immediately cuts in at 12:00:00, showing a 00:01:02 gap in the timestamps. Examination of the file shows details of the source clips, indicating that the first clip continued for multiple minutes after the cut. That would make it overlap with the second clip, which is played in its entirety.

I haven’t played with 2D particles, but in 3D you can make the spawned particles not behave as if they are parented to their spawning node. It allows you to spawn them in a moving area, but not move with the area.

I can’t remember the option, but it’s in the inspector.

The downside for something like this is that the area outside of the spawner won’t have any particles, so it will look like it just started raining anywhere you go.

You could set up particle ‘tiles’ that are pre-computed and start full of rain, then just toggle them on and off depending on player position.
