Why I throw my phone browser into desktop mode. Can be annoying but it works most the time

Probably different models for different sets. The set I work with are purely wifi. They have a light on them to blink is the only extra thing they do

IR on them does sound stupid though, in a store environment that can be blocked rather easily

No they are wifi controlled

They were working on it for patches and such. Plus they are probably starting the “next big thing” and having your dev team leave kinda hurts that xp

It kinda understands context.

An image generator makes an image of static similar to like a TV does with bad signal. The Ai looks atthe static and sees shapes in it. The prompt influences what it’s trying to “see”. It starts filling in the static to a full image, it does this in steps, more steps generally means a better quality image.

Also to say a LLM is a Large Language Model and is different from an image generator, though the proccess for them is very similar.

The insurance generally doesn’t kick in unless its 100k plus. It is “planned” for that a certain amount of theft and such will happen,

As for getting sued, meh, merchant rights protect doing reasonable things. Issue comes up when someone “thinks” someone stole and does shit without thinking. Generally All the stores don’t want to have any type of liability with anyone getting hurt so no touching and/or heavy interacting is in policy

Moving to block somebody’s path That I would agree with on being an escalation.

I have seen a lot of times by just there being a few people around giving the we know and we can see you can make someone ditch all the stuff and (some times) cuss out everyone as they leave.

I will admit that I would not advise the technique when it looks like someone is going to be very bold and just walk out with items “clearly” stealing (the cable on it still) and the OP story kinda shows why

Then again anytime I am around a shoplifter doing something like that being very aware of how they are moving or doing is important. Ill do my job but fuck getting hurt for the stuff, nothing in any store is worth it.

Ish on the deter by being there. I can’t speak for all companies but the major one I work for would have you act as just a visible deterance by just standing there. The grabbing the cable and stuff would be what would be “to far”

It probably links to it being illigal at the federal level still so ada would have to be sly about it.

The issue is more generation is leaned on the less powerful it becomes. To create those stores that you were reading in books it was fed lots of other fantasy and game information, as more of its used the less ‘new’ stuff it can make.

Yes, very useful tool. Not something that can be just thrown in. Has to be part of the system almost from start so that the appropriate ations and and text can be linked (unless it’s reading through save state and or is how the save state is read but that also had to be thought of early)

However, also not exactly what I ment. For instance years ago on doing a replay of Zelda oot left for about a week midday through the water temple. I could not figure out where I was in the puzzle for some time and ended up reseting as much as I could to just re walk through as much as I could. Somethings can’t be pre script written out due to unknown changes or capture what the user thought process is

I am not a huge fan of the “shrine” approach where everything is bite size but that seems to be the idea to make it easer for on the go. If you only have 15ish min of play what’s more enjoyable? Catching up what you did and trying to figure out what’s everything like since you last did things or knowing that this thing here is or needs to be done in front of me and I can continue.

“streamlining” is definitely happening. A lot is to just keep that serotonin going with happy rewards.

1 person I was talking to mentioned it might also be a change because of target. Zelda botw/totk was ment to be played in short burst while on train or a quick shrine or so before bed. Thus the bigger puzzles and things that requires a longer play (to avoid the wtf what is happening when I played yesterday question) are being phased down

Whats funny is sometimes its used as a test drive. Baulders gate as a new one I know had a decent amount of pirating, and then many forms are talking about how they loved it and then bought a copy.

The instance can control it and another instance can create a “competition” of the same instance. Diffrent mods for each and not being locked to 1 type.

Though hopefully we get something similar to supper communities that are multiple of the same under 1 listing

It’s a different dev then others.

Its a side story were you can romance the companions your with, n the main story little to no impact

At least on pc over over the option and it will show what your roll will be.

Can’t see the DC till to late but that’s a normal rpttrpg thing
