This is the wildest take I've heard. People don't trust meta because it's Facebook, because it's Zuckerberg. We've all seen what they do with companies they acquire (I used to be an Oculus rift owner).We've all seen how poorly they handle data, seems like there is a data breach every year.

Hell, when I was an Oculus rift owner I worked inside of Virtual Desktop some days. I'd argue that Meta killed my desire to work in VR.

If they could do this around the entire state I'd appreciate it. I never want to accidentally wander into Texas.

But seriously, how unhinged is this dude? How do you convince everybody involved in this that it's actually a good idea? Are the people putting up the fence just as unhinged?

Ah yes, a doorbell camera with an effective distance of 5 meters (about 16 freedom feet) is definitely gonna create proof of extraterrestrials visiting.

Stakeholders struggle to give accurate requirements most of the time, they're not gonna be programming with ChatGPT soon. AI can really improve a good developer's output though.

This is probably more common than you'd think, at least in my anecdotal experience. Converting directx commands to vulkan commands, especially for AMD GPUs, can result in better and more consistent performance on Linux.

The outlet noted that though some held signs that read “Union Members for Trump” and “Autoworkers for Trump” — in clear view of the cameras, of course — at least two of the people holding such signs acknowledged that they weren’t union members or autoworkers.

Remember this every time you hear a Republican or conservative talking about paid actors. It's nothing but projection with these guys.

You should return the PS5 and just do PC gaming. Maybe get a steam deck or another portable.

Stores can show out the door pricing of most products, they just won't. It's fairly common in the cannabis space because they don't want to make change.

Sometimes you get the opposite too. Like an 8pm slack message stating the head of engineering has "decided to step down effective immediately" (aka: forced to resign). Which is a nice surprise cause you had a meeting booked with them for tomorrow.

Hills exist, sometimes you need to go 20 miles, we have record setting temperatures every day, public transit sucks most places, and a lot of areas don't have bike lanes so you keep up with traffic or get ran over. E-bikes are good for everybody.

This incident has made me reevaluate some things. I could see this being a one off thing. Like an inventory error or a communication error. But the rebuttal was wild. Cancelled my floatplane subscription for now. Maybe they'll turn it around down the road, but this one was a big mess up.

This is like suing google because maps has address of places where crimes are committed, and judges agreeing with you.
