FYI, this is one of the major reasons to use digital wallets. Like Apple Pay and Google Wallet. They don’t use your actual card info when paying, but a generated virtual card instead.
Likewise one of my accounts provides both a physical card and a separate virtual card, so that’s what I enter whenever making online purchases. Easier to cancel and reissue a virtual card if there is fraud.
And again the white house shoots themselves in the foot.
They could have spun this as a transparent way for Americans to see what products they are purchasing from overseas versus American. It would have still been filled with lies, but they could have made it sound like a good thing. Instead they just look like idiots and Amazon leadership just look like cowards. Amazon is large enough and ingrained in the economy and everyday lives of people to tell the Trump admin to go fuck themselves on this and have the back of Congress and the public, especially if they spun it right.
Your reminder that Fox News hated Mister Rogers and everything he believed.
If you’re fine paying $50-60 for what amounts to a community graphical overhaul mod that’s fine. I expect more from an actual developer with access to the source code.
A remaster should be releasing Oblivion with an updated engine and graphics, and bringing in some gameplay enhancements from newer games. Technically this meets those requirements, but only by the bare minimum and all of those can be achieved with community mods for free.
A remake would be completely abandoning the decrepit Gamebryo/Creation Engine that’s clearly dragging all of their games down now, and has been for over a decade, and actually giving us something that doesn’t feel like it came out 20+ years ago.
I love the Elder Scrolls, Oblivion is one of my favorite games of all time, and the only one I ever bothered to get every achievement for back on the 360. But I won’t accept a half assed remaster for nearly full price just because it’s what Bethesda wants to distract everyone from the fact that Elder Scrolls 6 isn’t coming out anytime soon and they couldn’t just release Skyrim for the 12th time.
Don’t accept paying for mediocre products just because you’re desperate for content.
More than a coat of paint. They didn’t actually port the game to Unreal 5, they just used it to make the graphics look better. The modding community could have done this years ago if that’s all they wanted to do. Skyblivion is more of a remaster than this official one.
With all of the resources of the original development and sources, I expect more than the modding community is capable of.
It’s not even much of a remaster. They just slapped a coat of paint on it.
The Gamebryo/Creation Engine is still there running the game, it just uses Unreal 5 for the graphical elements. And they updated some of the levelling to work more like Skyrim, because the Oblivion system sucked in comparison.
It’s still the same 20 year old Oblivion under the hood.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but calling it a remaster is a bit disingenuous.
It was intentional until it leaked. They’d rather look even more incompetent with classified info than just admit whatever the real reason is or make up something fake to cover.
Looking even more incompetent is the best option they thought. That should be extremely worrying. Having yet another classified information scandal is the best option.
Basically, except the newspapers of today no longer care about reputation. They only care about clicks, the bottom line, and speed. Accuracy is no longer a primary focus.
They never are. They all know they are inferior in every way, so they overcompensate by claiming their genes are actually better than everyone else.
I think there were actually three… One was that pocket dimension thing with the wormholes.
One was the area of space the Malon were dumping their toxic warp waste. The waste and radiation created an expanse of space that blocked the stars. And there was that native species that was being killed by the waste but had adapted to the darkness.
And then there was the section of space that was dark and many light-years across, again with some exotic radiation and most of the crew had to be put into stasis. Only the Doctor and Seven could be awake, but they started hallucinating like halfway through.
It’s been a while since I went through my last rewatch though, I could be mixing some stuff up or those last two might have been the same episode and I’m splitting it up from memory.
These are classic signs of abusive relationships, regardless of autism.
Trying to control and limit your interactions with others. Convincing you to abandon other friendships because those relationships pose a threat to their control over you. Preying on your own insecurities to further increase their power.
This is the reason 100%. The Pharmacist and consultations is what matters. Pharmacies rarely hire to have more than 1 pharmacist on at any given time. Just like many stores only have 1 manager on at a time.
Hell, in some areas where legal, CVS and the like have been trying to switch to remote pharmacists via video calls to not even have to hire for each location! Just taking absolute minimum staffing to the next level to optimize profits even more. You thought it was bad not having an extra employee to cover call outs and vacation? Now it’s being constantly understaffed to optimize profit.
That depends on your description of development. Socially, economically, etc we have reverted and are doing the same things that failed 100 years ago. But there have been breakthroughs elsewhere.
Cas9 gene editing through CRISPR has opened a ton of incredibly valuable medical options around that time. The same with mRNA vaccination breakthroughs leading into the COVID era.
The answer is of course Neelix. That’s just objectively obvious.
This specific thread is talking about transacting business and banking online. You should be more careful to keep your arguments separated. Otherwise you not only look like an idiot but you also prove you can’t multitask for shit.
Are you stupid enough to actually think the Internet is a closed system?
Their endowment as it sits essentially allows them to operate for something like a decade without any external money. And you can guarantee they’ll get a bump in alumni donations if external funding is removed like that.
Instead you just have to trust that anything you’re doing is actually with who they claim to be. No encryption means no identity or security guarantee.
And notably, Japan does not have broad fair use copyright exceptions like the US. There are a very specific set of circumstances where it applies, and Generative AI for sure is not one of those.
So a few possibilities.
