A piece he described as a “creepy sex dungeon” was removed before judging last year.

Yeah, so this isn’t this guy’s first time pushing the envelope with the miniatures art.

If you could make this thing dispense drip coffee, he’d be all over it

Yeah and I bet that sucked

I’m not saying it isn’t impressive. it is. but is it worth it?

15 fps…

It’s a long shot

I don’t know if the article talks about this or not (paywalled), but my guess would be due to public distrust. In case you weren’t aware, 23andme was recently hacked, exposing 6.9 million users data [1] and a class action lawsuit followed [2].

My personal biggest issue has always been with their TOS regarding how they forever own and will retain the rights to the provided DNA sample and resulting data derived from your DNA. This data was not treated or regulated as sensive medical data under something like HIPAA, so who knows how well they safeguard it [3].

Their website claims they won’t sell the data to 3rd parties or insurance companies without users consent, but we all have heard that before from Silicon Valley companies. This data could be sold or used in the future in ways I cannot fully conceive right now, and/or in ways I don’t agree with. With the rise in popularity of things like GPT, who knows if they will use the data for training AI models. These problems aren’t unique to 23andme, rather any of the tech DNA/ancestry companies.

When you hear this from any company, get out. Sell whatever you have in it immediately. Even if you take a loss, you’ll take a bigger one waiting it out.

Apple MacBooks and iMacs don’t have this side-loading issue like their mobile devices do. You can install anything you want to as long as it’s supported on a Mac, and from anywhere you want. So they are more or less a more premium Linux variant. I’m not sure why you came in here thinking this discussion applied to non mobile devices.

It is

Yeah, I mean or you could just stop buying Apple products.

Neither are they. If there’s dust or fuzz down in there, it doesn’t physically seat correctly, and ends up being wobbly.

TLDR;

1. Deep learning for protein design
2. Deepfake detection
3. Large-fragment DNA insertion
4. Brain-computer interfaces
5. Super-duper resolution (microscopic imaging)
6. Cell atlases
7. Nano materials printed in 3D

And they’ll shoot your dog.

Apple throwing a tantrum as a holiday FOMO marketing scheme. A new low.

Don’t knock it till ya try it!

Massively overrated game. I thought it’d be an adventure game, but it turned out to be a timed puzzle game where you end up just rushing back to the same spot over and over again because the game kills you when times up. and you don’t even know if what you’re doing is correct. By the time you figure out this isn’t an adventure game it’s too late to return it for a refund.

They’re doing a fine job killing themselves already.

Edit: why are you booing me? I’m right.
