I tried 22 old game EXEs I have and none of them worked. They would import and show the icon and some would open, but nothing would work and most wouldn't even close. They would either show various error messages when trying to open or just open in a broken/unusable state.

Something like this is used in some Discord servers. You can make a honeypot channel that bans anyone who posts in it, so if you do happen to get a spam bot that posts in every channel it effectively bans itself.

That was X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I was also thinking about that when I heard about this leak. This was the infamous Deadpool scene from it without the finished special effects, it's actually pretty interesting to see it this way.

> You shoud see a flat background with one large copy of the letter π floating a little above the background (closer to you).

To me these all look like they're reversed from what this says, like they're further away from me behind the flat part.

The linked original article has an update saying they will refund the charge.

"Update May 9, 12:45 p.m. ET: After this story was published, Hertz informed The Drive that its Customer Care team would be "reaching out to Mr. Lee to apologize and will refund this erroneous charge.""

Sora means sky in Japanese, their reasoning is akin to "the sky's the limit".

> The team behind the technology, including the researchers Tim Brooks and Bill Peebles, chose the name because it “evokes the idea of limitless creative potential.”

This is really cool, thanks. I was just using ctrl+f to find things. I've got like 1200+ words right now so I totally understand the unwieldy-ness.
