The Gruesome Story of How Neuralink’s Monkeys Actually Died
  • That was hard to read. Those monkeys suffered greatly. I understand the need for animal trials in a device such as this though. My question is do they really think they will be able to support humans for their entire lifetime properly who get this implant? I can imagine humans being told the company went under or something when it’s time to maintain their implant.

  • Honestly, most web articles are only worth reading in reader mode. It seems like that is the only setting that respects your phone’s brightness settings (dark or light) and font size.

  • Anheuser-Busch Says It Has Stopped Amputating Tails of Budweiser Clydesdales
  • Why would this be something that needs banning? Why the fuck would they be cutting off the tails of these animals?

  • Baldur's Gate 3 - With Patch 3 comes the Magic Mirror, which lets you change appearance, voice, and pronouns
  • This was sorely needed during my first play though. There were many times I wanted to change my appearance to match an outfit and I could not.

  • Interesting that you ask that. My spouse plays as a native woman and even has a backstory based on real life. As far as I know, there is no native “faction” you can control or anything like that.

    To be honest, beyond your appearance there isn’t any difference between player “races” in the game code. So no NPC is ever going to care if you are black, white, native, etc. They probably did that on purpose.

  • Oh, we love killing klansmen online. Instant PvP and grief for those players identifying that way.

  • Zuckerberg calls India world leader for 'embracing messaging to get things done'
  • Nearly everyone I know from India uses WhatsApp so this statement checks out. I wish my own friends and family would stop using iMessage/SMS and use something like Signal. The only other app they use is Snapchat and I kinda hate that one.

  • If Red Dead Redemption 2 is your favorite game you are probably deeply unhappy
  • No, my spouse plays it primary for the online component. He enjoys riding horses, customizing them, dressing up his player in different outfits, going on missions with other players, collecting with other players, bounties, hunting, building a trade business, doing competitive pvp, and a lot of soft gameplay and RP like drinking and dancing in moonshine shacks, getting into bar fights, playing poker in saloons, making an ongoing story for his character that involves his online friends… etc.

    It’s a perfect game for the sandbox MMO crowd. I played it for a while and enjoyed it too for a bit, but I think I need more story in my face and tactics like in BG3.

    Microsoft AI team accidentally leaks 38TB of private company data
  • Wiz says that this occurred as a result of an Azure feature called Shared Access Signature (SAS) tokens, which is "a signed URL that grants access to Azure Storage data."

    The URL gave full access to read and write all data in the Azure Storage. This is so obvious a security hole. This “feature” should never be. If you are going to use signed urls, then implement them so that they expire after 24 hours or something.

  • Yes, this is true about Spacey being innocent. I have personally known people who have made false allegations so I don’t doubt it happens.

  • Yeah. Here:

    Of all those claims, these stuck out:

    • a 16 year old in 2006 when he was 30 and gave her instructions to hide from parents. Underage is rape.

    • In 2012 he is accused of raping a woman who was treated in a Rape Treatment Center afterwards.

    • In 2020, there was another 16 year old and evidently his manager believed him at first and then issued a statement saying he was misled and terminated business with him.

  • Yep, that’s how it usually works. If you do it and are a public official, it’s best to come clean.

  • The only reason Y2K wasn’t worse was because a shit ton of people were hired to fix it before it happened. I remember folks literally coming to my high school in the late 90s and asking students to learn COBOL so we could help. There was a huge effort to stop it before it happened.

  • People Prefer Electric Shocks to Being Alone With Their Thoughts
  • I spend most of my time alone with my thoughts and I would prefer it to electric shocks.

  • Microsoft's next-generation Xbox pitched as a "cloud hybrid" console
  • I don’t mind trying out games I haven’t played before using the game cloud feature and then installing it once I know it’s worth the time.

    I don’t think I would want the entire console to be cloud based though. Maybe a handheld, but not a console.

  • YouTube suspends Russell Brand from making money off his channel — The suspension comes following the publication of rape and sexual assault allegations against the British star
  • I think it’s important to point it out. The other rapist is exalted when he should be getting shut down too.
