You can with cartridges. That's why me and my friends get them. We swap.

What people are complaining about are apparently a feature digital games had, which I never knew about since I use physical media. I get why they're salty about it, but it does sound like a weird loophole they never fixed and apparently even mentioned it in some web page of theirs it was possible, so like an officially sanctioned loophole?

They're adults, not fucking children, so how are they "having the decision made for them"? They could literally not comply at many points along the way.

Yup, just need a van with ICE on it, and someone to sneak in and hide that the fake ICE will find and now you also have a reason to take that rich person's phone as "evidence" as well so they can't contact anyone for help.

Heck, if it's a particularly daring gang, they could then "arrest" said rich person, and get them to tell you the name of a fellow rich person they can contact to post "bail" for them by paying to a virtual bank, then transferring that money to foreign banks to them convert into a cryptocurrency, to get even more money.

So you're saying if you ended up in this line of work, you'd just, "follow orders"?

I think this maybe deserves more attention.

Anyhow, I found the video for people curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBDNbpWSUx8

This one I've never heard

Depends what clothes I'm wearing when it happens.

If I'm wearing anything that could remotely be seen as fancy back then (which I mean a lot of modern clothes could pass off as), since I'm near the ocean, I'd immediately run into the water not seeing anyone, and then pretend I'm a royal foreigner who ended up shipwrecked. Since I usually wear a watch, have a tungsten (Wolfram) crystal wedding band as well, that would help me in passing off as royalty as well. This is assuming the people helping me aren't brigands. There's things we do and know of that we take for granted that could be used to pass off as someone upper class too, like reading.

Then next steps would be to get to an aristocrats home, and eventually I'd imagine somewhere where I could work with scholars so they can teach me the language and we can work on translation so we can understand each other. Would have to be extremely careful of smallpox during all this of course.

Once we could, that's when I'd finally whip out my phone to trusted scholars and pull up my survival books, books on plumbing, etc specifically, and to explain that this is a special metal and glass book that can hold many books that's common in the land I'm from, and that I can teach them how to build them. But that we'd need to build plumbing because I'd like a shower by then.

That is not feasible, especially when it covers to the type of QR codes shown in the example, because humans can't read QR codes, which means we can't warp the data points in the QR just barely enough so that a reader could still pick it up because it's within the error threshold - we don't know what the threshold is. We could do something black and white with exact accuracy, like by using graph paper, but that wouldn't be the same as there's no warping of the code points, so what a human could do would at best always be a worse illusion than what the AI could do, because the AI can know what limit it can warp the QR too while keeping it readable, while we can't.

That's why I used this as an example - this is something only a machine can feasibly do with any practicality, because we don't have machine vision so as to calculate where error thresholds would lie if trying to reproduce by hand. I suppose if you're really, really good with math, you might be able to replicate something like what I posted, such as the red panda - but at that point, is using math to draw art? If so, then AI would be considered art too. If not, then 3D rendering isn't art either.

Basically an alternative to this:

I've always hated buds, but also can't wear standard over ear headphones when riding a bike with a helmet on. They're also useful in the winter.

Looking specifically for clip on over ear headphones. Wired or wireless, although wireless would be preferred. So far the only ones I've ever found are cheap ones on Alibaba that will shock you in the winter (and break easily) and these Koss ones that have been really good quality, but are American.

 

They can be paid, just looking for some balanced weaponry that's not overpowered on Bedrock for a Realms server I have. Most of what I've found is either game breakingly powerful or end game ingredients.
