We've been doing this for a long time now, it's similar to using a depth map or a line drawing to control the silhouette.

I think you answered your own question. 2026. My 2025 CX-90 has amazing controls.

Let's feed millions for free so they can breed billions who must be fed.

Business idea- a file sync software run by a company that promises to fire any employee who suggests adding a "feature."

Almost impossible to stop a determined actor from downloading media that you're serving to a browser. Most organizations don't have the budget or understanding. They outsource their websites, and ask for it to be as secure as possible.

Not at all. They want people to experience what they have, but they don't want a small subset of people selling prints, T-shirts, and little statues. From their perspective, they sell excellent quality prints, etc. in the gift shop and online, and the proceeds benefit the collection. So they lock down downloads if they can.

It's well established. Most public websites for museums have galleries of high res scans, and they're mostly all trying to keep you from downloading it. There are lots of tools out there to circumvent them, however.

Trying to capitalize on merchandising, even though it's all public domain.

Come on, it's obviously a hardware problem. If phones weighed ten pounds I wouldn't carry that around either.

Great glasses would solve a problem, I could take my stupid phone out of my hand.

And glasses will get replaced by contacts, which get replaced with brainwave tech.

There is a world, because when the displays are high quality and they're thinner and lighter, they're going to replace phones, and almost everyone will be wearing them.

Furniture factories are a lot more automated than you're implying with this metaphor.

How about somebody produce an exact copy of a pickup from about 1970? No electronics, no BS.

This is great, but they should give more. I would love to see million dollar donations from every major tech company. It's nothing to them, and Blender is fundamentally changing the way we make digital media.

Yes, if we all stand shoulder to shoulder and eat nothing but rice we can fit billions more in here. Then we can get wages low enough to afford some real corporate progress!

The people who opted out do bear responsibility.

Would he win the popular vote today? Hard to know. Only the kind of people who are willing to talk to pollsters end up in polls.

Both parties tend to claim a high moral position and definitive mandate from a narrow margin of victory.

Talk of suspending mandates, third terms, and invading Greenland are exactly how he keeps winning- talk past your goal, and retreat to victory.

This is the top post this morning? The issue won't come to military action. But if it did, Denmark could exercise all they want, and it would still last about ten minutes. Not sure how this is relevant to anything.
