  • The article literally says they sell your data to advertising partners. You’re paying a monthly subscription to give away your personal data for something as basic as a fucking printer. If HP doesn’t die my hope in humanity will be gone.

    Imagine your thermostat sold your data so companies could solicit you with coats to buy, or your fridge sold the data of what food you have so shitty brands can beg you to buy their low quality trash because they spent half their budget on advertising.

    I’m preaching to the choir but god I hate the ever growing data broker/aggressive targeted advertising trend.

    The confusion stems from the fact that laymen use force and mass interchangeably as they are always on earth and changes in altitude aren’t significant enough to worry about. Standing on a European scale and seeing a measurement in kg isn’t entirely accurate- it’s actually measuring Newtons and implying your mass in kg from that. Standing on an American scale, however, is literally measuring your weight in lbf. However, there is also a confusing unit called lbm or pounds mass which measures the mass of a 1lbf weight object on earth. The average person will never use lbm realistically, but this is technically the unit that converts directly to kg.

    No, pounds in the traditional usage refer to lbf, or weight. If you stand on a scale, it measures the force you’re exerting on the scale, which is absolutely distinct from mass because the exact same scale would show a different value on Mt Everest despite you not losing any mass. Every practical use will be measuring lbf. Ie PSI, or pounds per square inch, is clearly referring to force over an area, not mass.

    1 lbm weighs 1 lbf on earth, which implies that accelerating a 1lbm object at a rate of 32.2ft/s2 requires 1lbf.

    Engineers are the few types of people that actually use lbm and slugs. Sensible ones will prefer to just use metric.






  • Survival crafting games have always been extemely bare minimum effort by most studios. Look how well Ark did despite it being buggy garbage with dlcs. Palworld has almost everything you’d want from a survival crafting game and is 10x more polished than its competition. Dunkey highlights the bugs, which are definitely there, but for day 1 it is actually very well done and includes a lot of polish and QoL features that I would normally expect an early access game to add months after launch. I don’t know if he made a video from day 1 of ark or rust but it would be orders of magnitude worse than this. Also keep in mind this is the opposite of the type of game he usually plays.

    Besides all that, it’s multiplayer and the core gameplay is simply fun.
