@halfgiant said in Plotting with the manaverse:

If Feb 8th is the day being referred to, then Yes i can swing that.

Yeah, I meant the 8th. I was dealing with my daughter’s make up driver’s ed class on the 6th. had that date stuck in my head.

@halfgiant said in Windows Operating System:

I’m looking to setup to run Windows on my new laptop for gaming. Is Windows 11 a hot mess these days? What is recommended?

I run Windows 11 on my work laptop and have no issues running games on it. At least ones that the on board video can support. No issues with Windows itself.

I’ll agree that there is a fuck ton of telemetry built in. Even disabling it with various tools only really helps until the next major update (H1/H2 cycle).

I admit its kind of cool, but a bit impractical i have a head lamp that does the same thing.

mebbe a cabin by the lake >:)

the new STARGATE initiative, eh ?? let’s fuckin’ go 😜 i want my symbiote !

“Sources say OpenAI, Softbank, and Oracle will be part of the joint venture called “Stargate.” The heads of the tech firms plan to invest $100 billion, then up to $500 billion over four years, in building AI infrastructure across the US.”

just waiting to see what the shipping home cost is for Cloud’s new toy 😜

@dwarf I’m impressed since the band is kind of niche, the production value of their videos are not bad. And its a catchy tune.

@dwarf said in finally de-WOKEing star trek ??:

news on the wire is that the finale of Lower Decks (which is apparently canon) just pushed Star Trek Buttpirate into an official parallel reality… lets hope there’s some kind of confirmation from paramount >:)
(( i haven’t watched either Lower Decks or Dickovery - so if any of ya do, check it out ))

Star Trek Just Erased An Entire Series From Canon
https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/star-trek-erased.html

Its true, they have been talking about it for a while now. Discovery was so bad, and so terribly woke, and got so much of it wrong they had to erase it versus the 2nd season of Picard’s ending in which they just try not to talk about.

s’nawesome - even the Babylon Bee is calling the new D&D books Woke Edition 😜
(( bob may have to start videoing his 5.5 ed game over at boo’s so we can all have a laugh ))

So finally watched the Fallout TV Series show, it was some of the best TV i have watched in a long while. The show did a fantastic job of representing the Fallout Universe.

this guy reminds me of Bob… flipping off the whole damn town >:)

“Measurements destroy magic too, but to be able to controllably add magic to the system, you need to be able to do small rotations of the qubit,” said Niroula. “So, the two competing forces here are ‘how much you measure’ and ‘how much you rotate the qubits.’ What we observed is that at a fixed rate of measurement, you can tune your rotation angle and go from a phase where you have a lot of magic to a phase where you have no magic.”

Heard a lot of good feedback for it. Haven’t seen it, to cheap to go to the movie theaters, I’ll wait to stream it.

Was only $12 on a Sunday @ 11:30
