Highly recommend Shattered Pixel Dungeon!

Easy to learn, hard to master rouge-like dungeon crawler with enough under the hood dice rolls to give my inner RPG nerd the warm and fuzzies. Plus the developer is active on Lemmy pixeldungeon@lemmy.world

1080 for most disks, with 4K when marked ultra hd. It's worth noting disk video is usually ~~uncompressed~~ much less compressed, so it may very well look better than a stream of the same resolution.

I was more trying to armchair lawyer if they had a legitimate case here. Most of stuff they're citing is used so broadly across the 3D printing community, I'm wondering if their patents are even enforceable anymore (as I understand IP law, if you don't actively protect your IP you risk loosing it).

The whole thing almost reminds me of when Slice took Phaetus to court over the surgical pipe in the dragon hotend.

Thank you! Updated my comment with your links (The .gov site for the patent office is ironically difficult to permalink to, go figure)

Absolutely correct! I was mostly trying word it so that it was less "annoying rule follower pontificates the virtues of morality" and more "it doesn't matter how you justify it, or what you think you're doing, the university will see it as cheating and will act accordingly", plus people tend to be more receptive to advice when they don't feel like they're being attacked.

On the anecdotal side, my college job was doing desk-side IT support for one of the deans offices at my University. One of our roles was recording Academic Integrity Policy Hearings (basically a so you got caught meeting, where everyone has a chance to tell their side of the story to a panel of faculty members and they'll decide the punishment, usually ranging from zeroing out the assignment to expulsion) as a CYA for the university in the event someone decided to break out the lawyers. I saw so, so, many students hauled into over Cheg related offenses.

Hell, one of my best friends got burned because another student helped them with some Themo homework and was using Chegg (unbeknownst to my friend).

Linking the patents listed, because I'm struggling to understand what technologies are spelled out in them (I'm taking my best guesses here, so feel free to correct me if I'm misreading something, because I probably am):

• 9421713- purge towers apparently
• 9592660- heated beds/ removable build plates
• 7555357- something to do slicing workflow/ path generation
• 9168698 / 10556381- detecting that force has been applied to the extruder

Given how broad these are, this case could have some less than pleasant ripple effects on the rest of the 3d printing community, like opening the doors to drag ultimaker/ prusa into court over random commonplace stuff.

The specific patent links seem to be broken. All return 403. Here are functional alternatives.

Uhhhh, Cheg can be... problematic in academic circles, many universities view it as cheating and will enact harsh penalties (in line with their academic integrity policies) if you get caught using it.

I know this reads like a "don't get caught" statement, but I'd advise that you'd be much better off getting homework help at your university's tutoring center(s) or professor/ TA's office hours.

You raise very valid points, and water usage (and over allocation) is a huge issue but it is worth mentioning that Arizona has fairly consistent and predictable weather, decently reliable power grids (with access to cleaner energy sources like solar, hydro, and nuclear), and is pretty seismically stable.

Don't get me wrong, water consumption is going to be a huge issue once these plants really get going, but I don't think it's entirely stupid and nonsensical to park them where they did.

Uhh, I may not be the sharpest software developer in the shed, but I'm not sure I understand what you're asking for here. By the sound of it, you're looking to build and deploy an entire e-commerce website without any JavaScript at all, correct? Which makes me more than a little curious about what you're expecting to use instead.

Depends, can you see the future?

Does it have a Stargate? Does it make whooshy sounds? Sounds like Stargate to me

I don't know about making no sense, but photography, especially fim, has some fun phrases: subjects are lit up and shot. Afterwards, you go into a dark room and blow them up, burn them (if you don't dodge), and stick them in an acid bath.

In reality, it's lighting and taking a picture, projecting it onto photo paper, basic edits (darkening/ lightening specific areas), and processing the photo paper.
