Super annoying bug, you can fix it by clicking url bar and then trying right click again and it fixes it temporarily until next time.

Unless you live in the EU and have laws that should protect you from that.

What happens if it's a datamining third party bot? That can check your social media accounts, create an in-depth profile on you, every image, video, post you've made has been recorded and understood. It knows everything about you, every product you use, where you have been, what you like, what you hate, everything packaged and ready to be sold to an advertiser, or the government, etc.

Plenty of companies have been shoving all the unstructured data they have about you and your friends into a big neural net to predict which ad you're most likely to click for a decade now...

Sure but not images and video. Now they can look at a picture of your room and label everything you own, etc.

I was thinking about this a while back, once AI is able to analyze video, images and text and do so cheap & efficiently. It's game over for privacy, like completely. Right now massive corps have tons of data on us, but they can't really piece it together and understand everything. With powerful AI every aspect of your digital life can be understood. The potential here is insane, it can be used for so many different things good and bad. But I bet it will be used to sell more targeted goods and services.

Why do people like Quake so much? I'm too young to understand. Does it do something unique compared to other shooter games?
tekni5 · 3 years ago
Perfect blend of nostalgia, aesthetics, gameplay, simplicity not to mention that id software releasing everything open source at the end has continued development and created a massive amount of third party content, mods, etc. The same applies to Doom, Duke Nukem and to a lesser extent a few other older fps games.

Quake 2 Enhanced is very impressive, check out the subtle but clear differences they have made for each model: https://youtu.be/UVKxhoA77Vo

Does this require some special test environment (special OS, special builds of firefox/chrome)?

Because for me chrome vs firefox (both 115)

  - ubuntu desktop: 148(+-2.2) vs 126(+-6.5)
  - android phone: 95.8(+-2.0) vs 78.5(+-4.3)
So it looks like chrome is faster and delivers a more stable performance while firefox is slower and more inconsistent on performance

I get 260 for chrome & 160 for firefox on win 10.
