Against which regular user database?

I specifically opened a few apps to break up any large blocks of one color.

Voice acting has been good enough in the past few decades that it’s usually usable without re-recording. Maybe remastering at most.

There’s also plenty of tooling to upscale textures too, even without AI. The biggest hurdle (for assets, at least) is 3D models. You can slap a subdivision modifier on them to make them higher-poly, but you’d still have to make sure the UVs didn’t get messed up (or whatever it is that they’re using these days). And also verify that nothing weird happened like new geometry hiding or showing something in-game. (Collision probably doesn’t need to change if you’re just increasing polycount.)

That sounds like a you problem, because a PNG screenshot of my full 5120x1440 desktop is about 850 kB.

I’d like to see that data. I’d be surprised if it exists, companies rarely release that level of detail on their finances.

And “evil” is a very strong word. We’re talking about video games, a luxury recreational product.

Project Arroyo seems dead, though, so no Fallout that I know of.

But why no official ones? They don’t think it would be profitable. Microsoft and Bethesda are businesses first.

Well the name checks out, at least. You’re ascribing far too much capability to spammers. And that Twitter thing was an obvious fake.

Good thing nobody is poor!

Then you were the exception.

It’s research. Most of it never pans out, so a lot of it is “wasteful”. But if we didn’t experiment, we wouldn’t find the things that do work.

My RX 580 has been working just fine since I bought it used. I’ve not been able to justify buying a new (used) one. If you have one that works, why not just stick with it until the market gets flooded with used ones?

No need to imagine, it’s linked in the article: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/610k-settlement-in-school-webcam-spy-case/

DHT has already been around for years.

The article has a pretty convincing argument against it. You should read the whole thing.

The Internet is not a person

I wish they would have. They’ve treated d&d terribly.

They choose which films they work on, and they do have influence over how sex scenes are filmed and performed. At least in the US, the union does protect actors.

AT&T feels it should be granted a one-year renewal for VMware support services, which it claimed would be the second of three one-year renewals to which its contract entitles it.

The software licenses are perpetual, the support services require ongoing contracts. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of having a contract to a contract. Maybe if you’re as big as AT&T they let you do this, but having a contract that says “we have the option to renew our support contract three times” seems silly. Usually either both parties agree to renew it at expiration, or not.

It wouldn’t be… Until it is.
