No excuse

and another, related wild take. you can miss an exit or a turn and keep going straight. it may take longer to get where you're going, and it may be frustrating, but it's safer and better than cutting people off

Nintendo shuts down Switch emulator Ryujinx

There were so many Nintendo apologists when Yuzu was taken down because "Yuzu used actual nintendo source code, so that's why they were taken down, it won't happen to Ryujinx." Yet here we are. Nintendo is by far the shittiest company when it comes to protecting their IP, because it's all they have. Turns out, Mario is a fucking bootlicker

Just a JSON file in Windows 11 enables Edge, Bing, and Search ads removal

It is worth mentioning that changes you made to the IntegratedServicesRegionPolicySet.json file won't have effect in stable versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft has to roll out this new capability to the stable branch in March 2024.

It’s annoying that this is all the way at the bottom of the article. Good to know I can do all this, glad I didn’t attempt to change any of this now, because it’s pointless until these updates hit stable

SUV stolen from Toronto driveway shows up 50 days later — AirTags tracked vehicle from Canada to Middle East, offering glimpse into shipping routes used by car thieves

Andrew received a picture taken from inside a police car, parked near two containers sitting on a railcar. "It's definitely in one of those containers," the officer said in a series of text messages viewed by CBC News. But the York officer said they didn't "have the authority to open the containers." Instead, they directed Andrew to the railway's private police service.

Andrew said CPKC police didn't respond to the scene that night and the train carrying his truck took off soon after. "That's the pinnacle of the frustration," Andrew told CBC, "knowing that it's still here, but it's about to disappear."

CPKC spokesperson Terry Cunha declined to discuss the incident, but said in a statement the railway "works with federal, provincial and local law enforcement agencies executing a number of strategies to identify and recover stolen vehicles."

The worst she can say is "no"

lol the title of the article is “Passenger horrified”

Then the article:

“It was a handwritten note complimenting my hair at length … and [a] $100 bill,” exclaimed the flabbergasted gal.

However, the passenger explained in a follow-up post how she didn’t find it creepy because her mile-high admirer “didn’t leave a number and there was clearly no expectation or hope that we would interact again.”

Apparently it’s fine to do weird shit as long as there’s money involved

VLC tops 6 billion downloads, previews AI-generated subtitles

The most important part is that it’s a local LLM model running on your machine. The problem with AI is less about LLMs themselves, and more about their control and application by unethical companies and governments in a world driven by profit and power. And it’s none of those things, it’s just some open source code running on your device. So that’s cool and good.
