<p>Can confirm these teams are still around. There is now an additional "SME review group" that must comb through any and all AI-related issues that were flagged, sends it back down for edits and must give final approval for before docs are sent over to provider for response. Turnaround has gotten much slower (relatively)</p>

<p>Seems like there is a multi-industry push to move into Texas; came across a video the other day of Matthew McConaughey & Woody Harrelson (and other big name actors) reprising their True Detective role calling for the Texas legislature to increase incentives that bring Hollywood productions over to Texas.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/matthew-mcconaughey-woody-harrelson-true-detective-texas-based-productions-1235250668/" rel="nofollow">https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/matthew...</a><p>[2] <a href="https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/matthew-mcconaughey-woody-harrelson-true-detective-true-to-texas-ad-1236290018/" rel="nofollow">https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/matthew-mcconaughey-woody-h...</a></p>

<p>Thanks for taking the time to do this today!<p>I'd like to ask how you found yourself practicing in this area of the law and any advice you may have for those who will be entering law school in a few months.<p>I will be heading into my first year of law school in a few months with some general ideas of what I'd like to do after graduation (compliance, regulatory, M&A, contracts) with no concrete ideas either way.<p>- Would you have any specific advice on what you would have liked to have done in law school that would have helped you later on in your career that you'd recommend students to tackle early on?<p>- Are there any "wasted time/effort traps" that you might caution students to look out for as they navigate their program?</p>

<p>DK: Oz, The Magical Adventure<p>It wasn't so much an issue with the system but the actual game itself. The director (.dxr) files are all corrupted sadly. Tried some 'hacks' to maybe even get a peak/convert the files with very old installs of Macromedia and some extra software but came up short. The game would load - but when you're taken to the startup screen, the assets kick back an error of '..file is not director file...' and crashes :(<p>It's on a todo, hopefully one day I can get it going haha :')</p>

<p>Oh neat! Hope this is okay to share here re: the context; but I uploaded a cache of files to spin up a Windows 95 VM in virtualbox to Archive a bit ago. Was messing around with it for a few weeks to try and get an old game my boyfriend wanted to play working that ultimately couldn't be achieved.<p><a href="https://archive.org/details/win-95-vm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://archive.org/details/win-95-vm</a><p>The .vhd is immediately bootable; just mess with the settings a bit. 
The .vdi requires you to patch with the FIX95CPU.iso.<p>Either way, documentation from the sources I used are included in the upload.</p>

<p>Seems like it; I have a personal subreddit the same as my username that I flip between private and restricted to post music videos I grab with an iOS shortcut (can't post video on private subs) and the same landed in that accounts inbox (2) days ago.<p>My other private subreddit for Wikipedia/github links has never flipped/flopped and it didn't get the same message.</p>

<p>On my Windows laptop, I was able to set up a passkey with Windows Hello [a fingerprint swipe] to get into a secondary Google account that really only exists to store [pages of] coloring books (PDFs)<p>I'm admittedly ignorant in this domain; but I thought it was interesting that my built-in Chrome passwords were, and still are, locked behind the Windows Hello pop-up and now I could theoretically use that same mechanism to sign in to a google account all together.<p>The answer is probably in this article but I just don't understand; I'd love to know why Windows Hello can now be used to sign-in to the account. Probably won't use it in favor of an authenticator app.<p>Suppose I should do a test to see how passkey behaves for the account on a Windows laptop and how that will then work on a Chromebook...</p>

<p>I was just browsing your site a few days ago; did you just push a UI update? It looks a lot better and is a lot more relaxing on the eyes (eye strain) that it was before. Looks great.</p>

<p>> TikTok could become really important, really fast. We shouldn’t let things get to that point.<p>Twitter was and is still very, very popularly used to get immediate news in the event of domestic and international emergencies and it still is at this point considering it is used as a platform which agencies can use to convey information quickly and have it retweeted.<p>Anyone who has been on Twitter recognizes this. You can still find first-person POV from users in some really interesting situations that would otherwise not be shown on mass-media networks due to regulatory controls on what can and can't be shown.<p>Does that validate the use-case in Twitter being banned? Let's say the new owner doesn't want to show reporting from what is happening in Eastern Europe - does that further solidify an argument that it should be banned because it has been 'weaponized'?<p>The author at no point references Twitter in their article and just continues on a narrow lens on the subject matter.<p>What is the value in banning an app in a shroud of hypotheticals?</p>

<p>I think that is something which has been in the background over there for awhile now considering their plan has always been to replicate the success in e-commerce in the Asian market [1] by expanding it to include the US/EU market [2]; to that end they also began to build fulfillment centers in anticipation [3] but I don't think it's had much success as of right now.<p>I imagine they are still very eager to shift into that type of model since the format does present some real potential in generating conversions. If you've done the ads where the user can 'swipe' into the e-commerce shop those seem to work really well for makeup brands from what I've seen.<p>Sources, if anyone is interested in checking out what I mean<p>[1] <a href="https://archive.ph/YWt6N" rel="nofollow">https://archive.ph/YWt6N</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/oct/12/job-listings-tiktok-e-commerce" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/oct/12/job-listi...</a><p>[3] <a href="https://www.axios.com/2022/10/11/tiktok-chases-amazon-fulfillment-centers" rel="nofollow">https://www.axios.com/2022/10/11/tiktok-chases-amazon-fulfil...</a></p>

<p>That's so cool and sounds like an awesome experience. I keep my Mom's original Blockbuster laminated card in the back of my iPhone case :) Just checked the print date and its from 9/24/04. Great piece of nostalgia.</p>
