  • It’s funny, years ago, a single developer “killing it” on Steam was almost unheard of. It happened, but it was few and far between.

    Now, with the advent of powerful engines like Unreal 5 and the latest iterations of Unity, practically anyone outside the Arctic Circle can pick one up and make a game.

    Is tech like that taking jobs away from the game industry? Yes. Very much so. But since those programs aren’t technically “AI,” they get a pass. Never mind that they use LLMs to streamline the process, they’re fine because they make games we enjoy playing.

    But that’s missing the point. For every job the deployment of some “schedule 1” or “megabonk” tech replaced, it enabled ten more people to play and benefit from the final product. Those games absolutely used AI in development, work that once would’ve gone to human hands.

    Technology always reduces jobs in some markets and creates new ones in others.

    It’s the natural way of things.






  • They’re not going to answer your question. They never do. These people don’t know what socialism and communism is and in the same breath say that Republicans don’t know what socialism and communism is either.

    These people think that programs that benefit the indigent or economically impaired are inherently socialist programs. They think that universal healthcare is socialism as well.

    They don’t understand what a Republic is and they don’t understand the difference between private and public ownership of the means of production. They think that socialism will make everybody equal but don’t understand what equity is.

    They think that Bernie Sanders and AOC are socialists and have no idea what a Democratic socialist is in the first place.

    They don’t know anything so they cannot possibly answer your question.


  • Two primary issues with Samsung refrigerators:

    1. On the French door models, the drainage system for the ice maker is poorly designed. Instead of water draining down into the pan underneath the refrigerator to evaporate, it backs up into the ice maker compartment. This causes a heavy buildup of ice. Eventually, the ice can get so bad inside the compartment that it prevents the refrigerator section from cooling properly.

    2. On almost all Samsung refrigerators, the drain holes for the freezer evaporator coil are too narrow. This leads to water and ice backing up into the freezer, creating widespread issues across the unit.

    As a result, these refrigerators break down frequently. More than 50% of our work orders are Samsung ice maker problems. The root cause of these service calls is simply poor engineering and design deficiencies by the manufacturer.



  • Volkswagen is so bad at this! They have phone connectivity but they bog down the infotainment with they’re own crap software. The GPS is so bad it slowes down the whole system. I will never use vw maps. Ever. Just stop!

    And Chevy just doesn’t have android auto on or apple play on their lower trim levels. But they do compensate by integrating Google maps at least.

    Kia is the best though. Minimal proprietary software. Plug your phone in and android auto automatically comes up.
