My 80's computer was (by default) bright yellow text over bright blue background.
It probably sounds quite bad. It was. You could change that with a few commands but you'd have to do it each time you boot the thing, and I didn't bother, it was "normal" to me.
That didn't prevent young me from spending hours copying lines of BASIC code from magazines, but it was tiring. Nowadays I'm just like, seriously, who thought that colour scheme was a good idea?
[De Beers] stating that the economics of lab-grown diamonds for jewelry were not sustainable.
"That's cheating, we can't throttle the market of these shiny rocks! The indistinguishable ones you need are still those we're killing people for!"
I hope one day you can make a perfect gemstone for the cost of a burger, so people just stop caring about them at all.
The article mentions both. Meta is still complaining about GDPR.
Sounds like it's working to me.
Zuckbot, comply with GDPR or forget about EU.
That's the same timeframe as the one used in the article, and sure, they could have made it explicit again, but implicitly it makes sense because it's the one that's useful for a direct comparison.
Turns out, the implicit timeframe that should be clear after reading the article was the right one, and it's pretty damning for bitcoin as is. So again, I am not sure what point you want to make.
In 2023, Microsoft and Google consumed 48 TWh of electricity (24 TWh each).
Your point?
The data in the article was for one year. This is the same unit.
For that you'll have the Ultimate™ Edition. It has about 30% of total content.
The Sims 4 is not quite a fan favorite. It is disappointing that they may be working on it for another 5-10 years
There's no way what they had in store for Sims 5 would have pleased the fans disappointed by Sims 4.
Sims 4 was already a last minute attempt to correct course of something those fans never asked for. An always online multiplayer skinner box, probably barely simulating anything at all. They only shifted when the terrible SimCity 2013 crashed and burned.
It was too little, too late, Sims 4 at release ended up the most incomplete release a Sims game ever had and even after many updates is still the most boring experience you could have with the series. Even the bugs are not the entertaining kind.
Guaranteed, Sims 5 was going to try more of what Sims 4 was supposed to be.
Life By You, published by Paradox was cancelled, for some undisclosed reason, not even to the developers themselves it seems. It was supposed to be close to release.
There are other life sim projects in progress (the indie Paralives I think is the one gathering attention right now).
What, you've never seen that famous city with two Huawei and one Ericsson buildings, a six-floor Eiffel tower, a dozen random pylons per block, blue neon streets and a castle?
Couldn't support the corrupt assholes at olympic committee either, even before this.
Bright colour on dark background makes sense IMO.
This, however :
