Well, they used to be. Digital locks and built-to-fail (instead of just cheap) components plus decreased component manufacturing is making that less of a thing.

That’s kinda about power though. Think about going up a pulling a trailer up a hill with a vehicle that has a small engine versus a bigger one.

The small engine vehicle might make the hill, but it’s going up gear lower, rev higher, and probably heat up a bit.

The bigger vehicle will handle the hill and load with more grace, but may also use more fuel in everyday situations or cost more.

BG3 is kinda stretching the Deck’s engine (APU), and the fans are running like made to compensate for the heat running at 100% for longer periods. I’ve a few games that stretch the Deck’s capabilities so for those I just stream from my more powerful PC

Ok… well we are discussing the fictive ability to speak with somebody who is dead. I’m assuming that whatever necromancy/chronomancy is involved included some sort of translation.

Hell, if it’s necromancy then the only thing we might get out of poor Leo is a “cerveeeeeeelli” before he lunges across the table :-)

See here for a reference on the various options, most of which are drivable under a standard license. The big difference tends to be when you get into things with air brakes, which requires a special endorsement or the truly huge sizes. Most of the restrictions are based on the towing/hauling or hitch capacity of the vehicle pulling them though, as opposed to the license of the driver

Also, this is in Canada but my understanding is that the US is much the same

Not “trucks” as in a commercial transport truck (often called “rigs” to differentiate), but a large pickup-truck pulling a fairly massive travel-trailer or 5th wheel, yes.

I’d go for Leonardo. The others - while I understand things at a basic level - I’d likely not be able to understand most of their fields.

Maybe Tesla but I’m not sure if the conversation would end up centered around some of the neat science stuff I could grasp or pigeons with laser-eyes …

As far as ones who actually did things there I’m not sure that Hawking would have even been physically capable at a point where he was famous.

The EU has different licenses for cars and trucks? Cool!

I’ve always found it weird that a standard license here lets you drive anything from a teeny tiny SmartCar to an F350 pulling a massive palace-in-wheels, or a near bus-sized motorhome (provided it doesn’t have air brakes and is under 4600kg).

Joystick and MIDI interface port

Makes sense.

When I spend a lot of time doing 3D design work I find myself looking at the world afterwards in terms of underlying mathematics, angles and shapes. Like I’ll look at a cabinet and see rectangles and cylindrical cuts that could reproduce it in 3d, or a lamp-post as a circle extruded along a path.

People who are really into rocks probably notice more about that stuff because their brains are hyper-focused on such

And figured out parallax a long time ago

From another article, this seems to be what happened. The cart was purchased via FB Marketplace from somebody who had also cloned it to a multi-cart. Detection likely occurred due to the same cart ID showing active at two places.

Hoping this includes a PC release that isn’t a year+ behind consoles

You can fit an awful lot of Perl into one line too if you minimize it. It’ll be completely unreadable to most anyone, but it’ll run

Local LLM seems like a better bet

I still want the trees outdoors, but this would be cool for indoor spaces. Each mall or parking lot could have a solar panel overhead and slime-tanks to produce useful byproducts.

Maybe it could be mixed with and aquaculture like fish and sea plants to create cool scenery

TV Broadcasters: “oh, so you want more shitty ‘reality TV’ then?”

I recall reading a post on Reddit where somebody was able to have two people playing from a single machine with dual video cards dedicated to VMs.

Wonder how well this might work for AI stuff… Dedicate GPU segments to processing on stuff VMs

With the “not for resale” stamp clearly shown to boot.
