Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

With news of a reported settlement with Anthropic I went back to check the class action form and it now allows authors outside the US to input their address, so it may be worth adding your known pirated titles (from the LibGen pirate database) www.lieffcabraser.com/anthropic-au...

Ah yes, the first video game AIs: Blinky, who chases Pac-Man, Pinky, who tries to get in front of him, Inky, who tries to flank you, and Claude, who generates a trail of bullet points and em-dashes and occasionally veers into white supremacist rhetoric.

Attempting to respond to emails on Outlook web access has been frustrating this week. Despite it knowing my name, and all the history of all the emails I’ve ever written, this week it has attempted to suggest that I should sign off as “Christmas” instead of Chris.

I feel lucky and blessed that Old Skies is doing very well despite the Oblivion shadow drop, but hey it can always do better! Games like ours depend on word of mouth above anything else. So maybe RT the launch post below? Or this one? Or whathaveyou.
Thanks! \o/

LG think my fridge is an rpg or some sort of adventure game - I bought the fridge to be used, it’s an appliance! There’s no benefit in hiding features when features are a selling point when it comes to appliances!
