  • Wizards of the Coast admits AI used in marketing assets

  • The post for this is coming from the Magic the Gathering account. D&D and Magic aren't the same. D&D had an AI art thing months ago.

    We do all dislike WotC though.

  • Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994

    Jump

  • My keyboard is a Microsoft Comfort curve. It cost $20 and has lasted for 15 years through multiple computers. Completely got rid of my wrist issues from standard keyboards.

    Glad you found a keyboard that works for you though.

  • Why weren't you getting an eye exam every year as a standard?

    I'm in the US and once a year is pretty standard. Why would you only go to the eye doctor twice in 15 years? Do you not have regular eye exams as the norm?

  • Reminds me of the parents who left their baby with the grandparents and the grandparents gave the baby ivermectin to 'protect' them from COVID.

    Hospital couldn't save the poor kid.

  • Whats something that is only worth getting the expensive version of?

    Jump

  • Really depends on what you need. I've been using a $500-600 24/7 rated office chair daily for over a decade and it's still as fantastic as the day I sat in it on the floor.

    The $700 one I have at my other desk is good, but not quite as good as the cheaper one, but I didn't sit in it at the show room before getting it either.

  • I wish I could wear down my old navy stuff so I could replace it.

  • As COVID spikes in NYC, mask mandates return to city hospitals

  • Not sure I'd call that person a friend.

  • For the grand majority of folks, Name, relationship label, self-reported location (city or zip), and birth year.

    The ones with DNA compromises would be the ones whose accounts were directly accessed.

  • I'm not sure how much MFA would have mattered in this case.

    23andme login is an email address. Most MFAs seem to use email as an option these days. If they're already reusing passwords, the bad actor already has a password to use for their emails that's likely going to work for the accounts that were affected. Would it have brought it down? Sure, but doesn't seem like it would've been the silver bullet that everyone thinks it is.

    Which game out of the choices given do you think most people have heard of?

  • Nah, this makes sense to me.

    In order to get full credit (for the badge or card or whatever they had), you had to vote for every category.

    I've never played a VR game, but I still had to vote in that category, so I just... picked something.

    RDR2 is something a lot of folks have played. Hogwarts is something a lot of folks have played.

  • I figured that came through in the "I've been following kpop for the better part of a decade" comment that you originally replied to, but since it wasn't clear enough, yes, I'm a fan of kpop and know many fans of kpop who aren't 4chan people at all, and many who don't care about idol lives or the papparazzi pictures. (Yes, obviously there are 4chan folks who like kpop, like you can find 4chan folks who like any genre of music).

    Kpop, like the majority of pop, is typically marketed to young women because women spend money on products or tend to have more decision making power over where money is spent (obviously varies by person or household). 4chan is usually not a haven for young women, or any women for that matter.

    Like the majority of music genres, the fans are diverse and are interested in it for a variety of different reasons. If the only people that you're finding who listen to kpop are 4chan folks, I think that says more about the folks that you associate with or the places that you frequent than it does about kpop fans.
