Cool, I get to be the one to link this here:

This is literally the first sentence of the article:

Police in North Carolina are searching for the person who threw a rock at a moving car, hitting and killing a 23-year-old woman, authorities said.

This is how I use LLMs right now, and there have been a few times it’s been genuinely helpful. Mind you, most of the time it’s been helpful, it’s because it hallucinates some nonsense that gets me in the right direction, but that’s still at least a little better than the duck.

You should be able to use COM interoperability , specifically the OpenAsDocument() and Save() methods. You can also use COM interoperability to read from Excel, but using ImprtFrom-CSV would be much easier. Then you just iterate over the file names, and for each one open the template as a document, then save it as the filename.

Have you tried clearing data for Android Auto on both your phone and car, as well as removing your phones Bluetooth profile from your car?

‘Coyote vs. Acme’ No Longer Dead After Big Backlash to Warner Bros.

The studio will now allow an outside distributor to purchase the film after significant public protest, including its creatives speaking out to Rolling Stone November 13, 2023

In a significant backpedal, Warner Bros. has reversed its decision to shelve the completed Coyote vs. Acme film, and is now allowing an outside distributor to purchase the film after significant public protest, a source confirmed to Rolling Stone.

It’s been a quick turnaround from Thursday when it was first reported that Warner Bros. was using the live-action/animation hybrid starring John Cena and Lana Condor as an estimated $30 million tax write-off instead of moving ahead with a theatrical and/or streaming release.

After filmmakers and crew expressed their shock and disappointment about the decision, and argued that the film was fantastic, plus mounting criticism from veteran filmmakers over Warner Bros.’ pattern of axing projects for the sake of tax benefits, Warner Bros. said on Sunday that it was willing to allow the film to be shopped to other distributors, Puck first reported. (Rolling Stone understands there are several interested buyers, including Amazon Prime.)

The loud public outcry and desire for the film’s release were the key factors in the studio changing its mind, a well-placed source says. “This is total victory,” they say. “I don’t think management ever minds disappointing the people that work for them, but they do mind disappointing their audience.”

This is total victory. I don’t think management ever minds disappointing the people that work for them, but they do mind disappointing their audience.

The news had been a blow to the cast and crew who were effectively blindsided by the studio’s decision. Director Dave Green and top producers had allegedly only been informed after Warner Bros. already underwent the process of writing off the movie, Rolling Stone reported. The movie has been in production since 2020 and is based on Looney Tunes’ Wile E. Coyote and The New Yorker humor article “Coyote v. Acme” by Ian Frazier. It had tested positively with audiences, earning 14 points above the norm for a family film.

Green has not yet publicly commented on the reversal, but in a statement on Thursday had voiced his disappointment and said he was “beyond proud of the final product, and beyond devastated by WB’s decision.”

The film’s editor, Carsten Kurpanek, tells Rolling Stone that he is “elated” and has high hopes the movie “finds a new home quickly.”

“The outcry on social media following the initial announcement clearly shows there is interest and an audience,” he says. “I’m really thankful for all the support we received. Wile E. Coyote has his 75th anniversary next year and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate this than with a release of Coyote vs Acme.” Trending She Had a Week Between Tours, So She Ran an Ultramarathon ‘Big as the What?’: Drake Recruits J.

Warner Bros. had originally blamed the decision to not release the film due to “shifting its global strategy to focus on theatrical releases” in light of relaunching its animation department in June. The movie was originally greenlit for HBO Max before it was given a theatrical release date of July 21. However, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie ended up taking over the summer date and the plan for Coyote vs. Acme was unclear until Thursday’s report. If Warner Bros. stuck to its decision, the project would have become the latest casualty in Warner Bros. Discovery and CEO David Zaslav’s cost-cutting campaign across the company. In an effort to recoup some $3 billion in savings, the studio axed the films Batgirl and Scoob! Holiday Haunt last year in exchange for tax write-offs.

Charger maybe? What a time to be alive

Congratulations on your excellent taste!

I will second this. For sure spend the extra dough on the Bluetooth version, since that one comes with HAL sticks, so it should be much more resistant to drift. Great controller, very comfortable and I dig that it has the option to use a dedicated dongle.

I just grabbed it a moment ago - if you add it to your cart, it should show up as $0.00 dollars at checkout

It was probably a gif at one point, and some software along the way decided “gif = video” and turned it into an mp4.

You can also use winget to install it, if you're into package managers

winget install --id=dotPDNLLC.paintdotnet -e

That way you can still get semi-automatic updates

Holy crap, that almost double what I pay for a gigabit connection 🫠

Because like so many things Trump/MAGA related, we're in untested territory. No judge wants to be the one to figure out how to prosecute some law that was last invoked in the 1800s, if ever at all. There has to be a trial of some sort, otherwise what's to stop one political party from declaring the other "insurrectionists" in areas where they have a supermajority?

We already blew past all the "right" ways of handling this shit, but spineless dipshits refused to convict him in either impeachment, which would have been the sanest way to keep him off the ballot. They literally lived through the evidence, but here we are. (Ok maybe not all the ways, there's obviously trials in process for Jan 6, and he could actually face jail time, but we're still in untested territory because that may not actually preclude him from holding office)

Boy do I have good news for you

Like the Seinfeld episode?

I very briefly worked for one of their competitors a few years back. These devices are pretty much limited to whatever you can do with root on android or jailbreaking iOS. If a person has a modern phone and a good sense of op-sec, chances are they can’t get much. These things basically work by doing backups then analyzing those backups offline, searching in known locations for non-encrypted databases and images. On android they can also do things through adb, like automated screenshots.

If you hand the cops a powered off non-rooted,locked bootloader, non-jailbroken phone and use e.g. signal, there’s not much they’ll be able to see. Of course, there seem to be other firms that operate at a higher level, and have some encryption breaking capabilities, but that’s not going to be accessible to your average cop.

I agree 1,000%. I have been remote for the last five-ish years; I can count the amount of times I’ve actually needed to go into an office on one hand. At home I have: a giant ultrawide monitor; a quiet, private, office; gigabit internet; dog. How would I be more productive commuting to an office to listen to sales people banging gongs and ringing bells all day while I work in a cubicle on a single 19" monitor? All my teammates are in other cities and states, my code is checked into GitHub and mostly deployed to IaaS - and even our “on-prem” infrastructure is in another state.

Yeah, I’d rather have a healthy backlog of triaged bugs than the alternative. Which is just having no clue what bugs are in your code because absolutely no software ships bug free.
