No ethical consumption blah blah blah Sony are fucking people over today.

Microsoft is doing a ton of work to get the Xbox port running and optimized (which it direly needs), and Sony doesn’t have an early access program. Once PUBG exits Xbox Game Preview, they can apply what they learned to the PS4 version. It’s a mutual benefit for MS and PUBG Corp. today that will pay off for Playstation…

Welp, that just killed my interest in Fortnite, and I don’t even own an Xbox. If Sony wants to throw money around for the sole purpose of depriving people, they can get fucked and whoever takes that money can get fucked.

Are we sure there isn’t a market for a Maybach Unimog out there somewhere?

They’ve been getting rid of in-between model numbers and converging on 40, 60, and 90. In other words, the opposite of BMW and Audi.

Not bloody likely. If this was Volvo branded, it would be a C90 Inscription T8. The equivalent S90 starts a hair under $70K, and is down 200 hp on the Polestar 1. If the subscription payment was under $1,000, I’d be surprised.

1440 x 900. One of the reasons everybody thought the Air series would eventually be discontinued after the 12" MacBook was released with a 226 ppi display, but here we are.

“Sometimes that wampa looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a wampa is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn’t even seem to be livin’… ’til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched…

This one?

To me, it looks like Peugeot looked at recent Honda, Toyota, and Lexus designs, scoffed in that inimitable French way, and said, “Mais oui [takes a long drag off a Gauloises and exhales], let us show you how this is really done.” The elements are there, but they’re executed with better proportions and precision.

Let Star Trek have “Sabotage”. With that many chase scenes, Solo needs something more uptempo, like “Lee Majors Come Again”.

Hot take: Short-track’s “roller derby, only serious as a tax audit and on ice” premise is fundamentally flawed.

On the one hand, Nicklas Backstrom got busted for an OTC antihistamine, and meldonium is commonly available in Russia.

iOS vs Android on phones is the only place it’s a fair fight.

On the Evgeni Malkin Spinning Backhand Difficulty Scale, that was around Hurt Me Plenty. This would be Malkin on Nightmare! level.

“It could be a BMW!” the idiot says.

Buolamwini tested three commercial software APIs: Microsoft’s Cognitive Services Face API, IBM’s Watson Visual Recognition API, and Face++, a Chinese computer vision company that’s provided tech for Lenovo. Buolamwini tested to see if each could reliably classify the gender of the person in each photo.

Because the NHL is the only one of those organizations whose sole job is to make money from American and Canadian consumers.

It was a three-party negotiation between the NHL, IOC, and IIHF, but why actually look into the details of how things broke down when pushing the “NHL is incompetent” narrative is easier and protects ESPN’s NBA ratings?
