I would have preferred a 'will it blend' format with the ultimate test being the Cybertruck's own keyfob (you have one job!)

Man youtubers are dumb as hell. Use a stick or something

I never open a video where 3 or less paragraphs of text would suffice. I feel like we're heading back to drawing things on the walls of caves

So, in other words, the boss has nothing to complain about

Next stop: advertisers pushing product placement into generative images, and generative images with product placement littering image searches. It's a pandora's box we can't close

Not only monetization but also the whole sorting/ranking algorithms. Youtube is a bit better than Facebook reels and instagram due to the thumbs down button, but some people go out of their way to make nonsensical garbage because viewers will then comment, and there's no way to tell if a video is good or bad based solely on engagement. Those videos where people have some DIY hack to clean a toilet bowl and they just pour random condiments in the toilet for 3 minutes and cut the video before any conclusion, those types of videos

I wouldn't want to see how someone would react after going through something like that. Sounds like a supervillain origin story or some shit. "Jokes on you, it was a simulation! Now grab your stuff, you are free to go!"

Lets all scavenge old tech and run vms with Win7 on a ramdisk to deal with all the vulnerabilities

I was thinking Diablo 2 is gonna be rendered unplayable. It'll probably view "IL" in "SKILL" or a rune or small charm as a pause symbol and make it so you can't open your inventory

Edit: Oh shit, the 'II' in Diablo II

There used to be dip switches on some older machines (386/486 era), eventually 'turbo buttons' that accomplished the same thing, toggling would cut the clock speed so older software would be compatible with clock speed. Those turbo buttons were more a 'valet mode' than anything, but it all died out before the Pentium/Athlon era to say the least
