Except it would take 3 literal months to download it (stupid home internet with a 1.25TB data cap)
Oh, good, this needed to happen. People making grandiose claims about AI’s capabilities that it’s nowhere near ready for needed to be shot down.
To me, Wardriving is back in the day when you used to drive around town with a laptop and a program that catalogues all the open wifi networks in range.
The fun tax is real… except unllike the poster below, I was looking for a Base model Subaru and not the WRX (even though the WRX is a bucket list car)
Ah yes, the Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust
Do you have the time and money to fite that in court against Nintendo?
Anti-cheat measures should be baked into the server side. 99 percent of the multiplayer cheating problem is not adhering to the golden rule of server security: Never Trust the Client
DHCP, when set up properly, makes for less work. Reservations will have the DHCP server hand out the same IP to the same hardware (MAC address) when it asks. If you have a device that is from the dinosaur age that doesn’t play nice with DHCP, then make sure you give it an address that is outside the DHCP range on the same subnet. ex: Some home routers use 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200 as the dhcp range. Setting anything from 192.168.1.1 (or 2 if the router is on 1) to 192.168.1.99 is fine, as is 192.168.1.201-192.168.1.254 (or 253 if the router is on 254). However, by setting static ips, you have to remember those ips specifically to interconnect devices on the lan, whereas reserving via dhcp allows you to use local dns resolution to connect to devices via their hostname instead. In additon, you run the risk of ip conflicts from forgetting which device has what ip in an increasingly complex system, and if you change internet providers or routers, you have a lot of extra work to do to fix the network settings to get those static ips to connect.
Alternately, just use the link-local ipv6 address to interconnect on the lan. That doesn’t change on most devices, as it is based on the MAC address, and is always reachable on the lan.
There’s a point where it’s literally TMI and it becomes hard to find what you need unless you spend a lot of time training on it

AI consumes power, yes, it’s projected to triple its environmental impact, yes, but its environmental impact is much less than most other things. If anything, the AI hate train draws angry peoples’ focus off the big polluters that matter.
“Arrghle AI is in everything and modern cars track you, I’ll just drive a 30+ year old pickup truck because they don’t has no AI tracking nonsense”
Oil and gas companies: money
It’s a percent against the world’s emissions. Be concerned less with this. AI is the current hate train whipping boy, and takes the pressure of public focus off the biggest polluters.
And that’s why I’m the one that fixes the PC when it breaks… because even good programmers may even consider the pc to be magicboxes if they’ve never turned a screwdriver in their life…
And a spelling mistake on an ai research paper (papercloppers instead of paperclippers) spawns an entire mlp fanfiction where a game dev accidentally makes an AGI to run an MMO that ends up turning the world into a singularity. Friendship is Optimal, after all.

Guess that means I’m uncle tech support forever
Imagine if you had blinders and earmuffs on for most of the day, and only once in a while were you allowed to interact with certain people and things. Your ability to communicate would be truncated to only what you were allowed to absorb.
As much as I don’t like these buttons, working in tech support, I can tell you far too many people can’t figure out anything more complex than “push the giant button that says the thing you want on it”, and that is even difficult to get some people to understand.
