You absolutely can refuse to hire someone (in the US) for something they have no control of, assuming it’s not one of the few protected classes. I could refuse to hire you over height, inability to grow facial hair, etc with zero repercussions.

Your title should be “fuck subscriptions, except subscriptions from this site pulled from 1998” since everything in your guide relies on a paid debrid sub.

Why would they need to look into Apple’s conduct here? Investigate Beeper for CFAA violations since they cracked into Apple’s internal APIs and ignored large chunks of their ToS in the process.

Of course Apple is going to shut down unauthorized access to their messaging system. They’d lose all customer trust instantly if they didn’t.

That counts as unauthorized access in the eyes of the law. It’s a private system and they did not have any agreements permitting them to use it as they wanted.

Hey this name is familiar… these guys sent me all their app telemetry for a couple weeks because they hardcoded AWS LB IPs into their software, and I got lucky enough to get one of those recycled IPs.

Wouldn’t be surprised if their apps are still screwed up and sending large amounts of junk traffic at me, but at least now it’s going into a void.

The vast majority of the popular accounts are not run by the women on the profile. Most of them pay friends or agencies to manage the page for them, they simply show up to photo shoots every now and then and enjoy the easy money.

If the game doesn’t meet their own standards, why exactly did they bother releasing it instead of delaying PC like the consoles were?

If they had released mod tools on day 1 like they originally said, most of the game-breaking issues would have been addressed by modders by now.

I did wind up doing a few maps and have been getting decent FPS initially, but as soon as I hit 13k pops in any save, I suddenly get straight up freezes every 30-45s. Game definitely has potential but imo should’ve had the PC release delayed alongside consoles.

I’ve got major fps drops on the menu (after tuning the recommended settings) on a 3090Ti, and was hitting some random bugs right away in the game. I’ll come back to it in a few months, hopefully performance is way better and everything’s more polished by the time the console edition releases.

I have a 3090Ti and on every save so far, the game becomes borderline unplayable right around 12-13k pops. Complete FPS drop plus intermittent freezing that doesn’t end until I close the game. I would be fine with this on an early-access game, which is what they should’ve released CS2 as initially.

Marijuana is still classified as a schedule 1 drug and remains federally illegal.

There are bills to reschedule or deschedule it every year, every one so far has failed. As of today, marijuana is federally illegal, thus any federal criminal charges stand unless otherwise pardoned/commuted.

Federal agencies have been asked to reduce their amount of arrests for simple, nonviolent possession, but there’s still plenty of people getting freshly charged at both the federal and state level today.

Maybe someone should fork Opencart and patch the security vulnerabilities and try to drive people away from this guy’s repo, since he’s just combative anytime someone raises a concern.

Or quit using his code altogether.

What settings are you using to get it this subtle, and have a full background? Most of my outputs wind up with only the controlnet image filled in, and solid backgrounds. Invert preprocessor doesn’t help…

Backing a Kickstarter for a game is the same as preordering. Money leaves your pocket and enters the studio’s before the game is out.

Steam is the only legitimate source to buy Steam games, every single one of the third party resellers deals in illegitimate keys

It’s still fairly rough, although they have pushed several patches that helped significantly improve the absolute trash the game was on launch day.

Still no modding support, which was originally supposed to be a day-one feature. DLC release also got pushed. Maybe it’ll be a good game by mid to late 2024.

I run the self-hosted version, aside from having to deploy a couple Docker containers it’s pretty much the same as the SaaS product.

UI doesn’t come up until database migrations fully complete. Can take half an hour or more depending on how much content is indexed in your instance.

Get uBlock Origin and then YouTube will stop serving all ads. Or quit using YouTube entirely since Google is doing everything in their power to run the platform down the drain.

Apple poached engineers from the company that owns the patent for the blood oxygen sensor, rather than bothering to license their tech. Company sued and Apple lost, now their products are under an import ban.

I’ve proactively blocked automatic updates on my watch in anticipation of them doing a rug pull on the feature.
