Why would you buy Gamestop today. That's just asking to be a bag holder. Well, wishing you luck.

Not being able to get out without a car sounds super absurd and annoying. Is Houston that unwalkable a city? Couldn't imagine that for where I live.

Boiled Water posted:Since you mentioned drinking oil I recall someone trying to save money by walking everywhere, which makes sense until you discover your body is pretty inefficient at moving your around even when compared to a chunky car. Gas is amazingly cheap by energy content (also don't drink this). There are people literally spending money to waste energy at places dedicated to it, it's absurd. The entire point of these businesses is to pointlessly expend energy.

Yes, laptops with keyboards that fail at the smallest amount of dust, bend really easily (which causes the display to fail!) and dent easily I wouldn't consider to be all that "solid".

Motronic posted:Ehhhhh...that's been a recent sound bite but it's not entirely true. The are part of whatever the southwest electric cooperative is. Problem being that no other states had power to give, so it didn't matter in this case since they were all in the same cold snap. It's not a soundbite, they operate a separate grid for exactly that political reason, but they do have a few DC ties to other grids, including Mexico.

The GameStop pumpers are just sad at this point. It's a retail store that sells games on discs, they're not going to be the Esports arena of the future with their tiny locations (and there's no money in that either way) and they're not going to be a factor in digital distribution at all. Way too many established players for that.

smackfu posted:I’m not sure why NFTs make me so angry. Collectibles without requiring any physical goods to change hands and without forgery issues? Seems like it would be a good idea... but then someone pays $100K for an animated GIF. Why would that be a good idea at all. Digital "collectibles" are an inherently moronic concept.

No clue what this is about, but the r/relationship thread is certainly a great repository to highlight that the goons perpetually "laughing" at something are super weird and even weirder that the posts their laughing about for the most part.

Democratic Pirate posted:I don’t get NFTs. Do you own all copies of a picture, or just one that’s hosted on a super special site that only cool people know about? You own a token with a hash value and an URL that either links a text file that links the image hosted on someone else's computer or links the picture on someone else's computer directly. Owning an NFT says nothing about what type of usage rights you have on the picture on someone else's computer or whether it will even still be hosted there in a month.

Rare physical items being sought after I can understand, hash values with URLs I cannot. There's no such thing as an "original" with digital data, and there isn't even a guarantee the data will still be hosted somewhere in the future.

That seems just as stupid, you can duplicate signed files just the same. Otherwise you could never transfer your "original" over the internet. And that has the same issue of needing to verify it was actually the author's signature and the honor system of the author not just selling hundreds of "originals" (which, again, is an inherently impossible concept for digital files). What the original gets you with a picture is a physical item that is the only one of its kind. What buying a signed file gets you is a copy of a signed file.

alnilam posted:I think that's the idea of the "non fungible" part, you can definitely cryptographically assign something to be openable by only one person's key, and you can probably also ensure only one was produced via blah blah something blockchain. You can encrypt things, yes. But no, you can't ensure only one was produced.

Motronic posted:It's not all that hard. There are multiple services that will invisibly watermark and find any instances of your photo online and alert you so you can manage digital rights. This has existed for decades - it was a thing being added to the scans of slides at stock photo houses pre-nongarbage digital cameras. It seems the watermarks aren't even required anymore. It is impossible if the result doesn't get published. If I want to view something that is sold as an NFT for free, I just need to download it from the official server. Traditionally, with digital media, access is what you're paying for. Which makes paying for hashes of NBA dunks even more bizarre.
