This is more or less what bigger models do. They analyze your prompt to figure which model to forward your request to.

Not that I disagree with the point you are making, but yes, I distinctly remember people complaining about monopolistic practices for each example you gave XD

And this is exactly why other ongoing cases are, generally speaking, not admissible as evidence. Someone doing something bad once doesn’t mean that they did it twice. Multiple accusations doesn’t mean that they are guilty. Otherwise, a simple conspiracy to bring multiple charges at once would be absolutely damning to a defendant.

Also the pre-trial stuff is pretty much just to show that there was an applicable law that may have been broken. It has almost nothing to do with whether or not the defendant is guilty, liable, or otherwise found at fault.

It’s the same product.

This is the part that is holding me up. Is it actually the same product? The version on Steam comes with server hosting, achievements, voice chat, etc. If I purchased the game through Uplay, would I still have access to those services on Steam? For example, many years ago, I bought “Dungeons and Dragons: Daggerdale” at Walmart, but it basically just came with an asset disc and a code to register the game on Steam. So buying it at Walmart gave me access to the same features as if I’d bought it directly from Steam. Does Uplay do the same thing?

Does R6S use steam integrations if bought through Uplay? Based on what I can find, the answer is no, and therefore valve shouldn’t be setting the price because, at that level, they have no involvement with the product.

Based on your take, I agree with you. If valve is providing services, then developers should not be selling steam keys for cheaper elsewhere. It dilutes trust in their business model too if people start assuming that they can get the same services, provided by valve, for cheaper elsewhere.

However, is that what this article is talking about? The games mentioned, specifically R6 Siege and SoM, both appear to run stand alone without steam integration. I’m not intimately familiar with either one, just what I can gather based off the article and a pair of quick online searches.

In my experience, good boobs are appreciated by everyone across the gender and sexuality spectrum

Did you know that 1 in 5 car crashes involve a drunk driver? That means that in 4 out of 5 crashes, everyone is completely sober! It is way safer to drive while intoxicated! Pour yourself another cup, it’s the only way to be responsible.

I mean, no one is going to do calculus sober

It means that your fuse is still working for at least a couple more minutes

Forget Brent Spinner as data, give me that independence day drip

The weird text the main bird is rattling off it something called “Assembly”. Many programming languages don’t really tell the computer what to do, they more or less outline the behavior they want, and then another program called a compiler turns that into 1s and 0s that a computer can actually understand. If you’ve ever heard of binary, that’s what these 1s and 0s are. Assembly is one level of abstraction* above the 1s and 0s. It is a good way for humans to understand what a computer is actually doing without having to look at the original programming code, and without 1s and 0s. So the main bird represents a computer doing it’s thing, running some program.

Then comes the crow with a “Hello It’s me. The Keyboard! Someone pressed the letter e.” The crow represents something called an interrupt, which is exactly what it sounds like. It interrupts the normal flow of a program to signal to a computer “Hey, you need to deal with this. Like, now.”

The reason why he is a keyboard is because that is how old keyboards used to work. Before USB ruled the world, mice and keyboards used something called a PS2 port. If you ever saw an old mouse or keyboard with a green or purple plug on one end instead of a USB, then that’s the old style we are talking about.

Modern USB keyboards are a little more polite and will wait in a line until the computer is ready to deal with whatever the human just typed, but old PS2 keyboards used interrupts to demand attention. This was really important for old slow computers that needed to respond to user input ASAP. Modern computers can handle that sort of thing a little bit better.

I think that is enough context to understand the meme.
