So looking at it, I saw a few things. The easy thing is to google the restaurant name, of course, but there were other clues.

The trees were tall evergreens, suggesting northern part of the northern hemisphere.

The license plates appear to be European style suggesting somewhere in Europe.

There is a street sign that is like 4 feet wide but only two lines tall. Suggesting Scandinavian.

That was as specific as I got before looking at the street view that was posted and seeing Norway.

I'll add my experience to it as well.

I recently used it for a trip. I put into it my flights, hotels, checking/out times, reservations, and any other pertinant travel data. It gave me one single place to find a rather large amount of data.

It also helped me keep my timelines straight as I was booking things to make sure I didn't have any overlap.

Starbucks has been doing everything it can to not be warm and welcoming. The newer ones around me have all been bench seating at what feels like a folding table that was clearly just designed so you could sit while you wait on your coffee, but not get comfortable enough to stick around. They've taken everything off the walls and removed anything that might dampen sound so you can't have a casual conversation anymore.

There is nothing welcoming about being there, and the atmosphere is about as corporate cold as they could possibly manage. Whatever starbucks used to be is dead and gone. I expect them to eat themselves and fail spectacularly soon in a chase for more and more profit margin on each cup.

I'd think, in this case, you'd still have to legally acquire the content. So meta pirating a ton of books would still be piracy, the act of piracy would be illegal. Scraping the entire internet for publicly posted data isn't illegal, however, so that's still "fair game". Of course, the internet is full of illegally posted content, so I'm not sure how you account for all that when training AI (most model makers probably don't bother to try). "Sure, we trained our model on Disney movies, but user FartFace6969 posted them to youtube mirrored with the audio pitched up, your honor!"

As I recall, Go was the add-on to TV service, and Now was the standalone. Although the names were kinda dumb, it was good that they had two different names.

I hope this frees them up to work with previous hosts more. Most of them are still around and working in similar content.

The web versions only cost less for very minimally licensed users. There are certainly cases where it is cheaper, but unless the user is using an iPad or Chromebook, the license companies want to have for all users includes office desktop. The push to cloud probably was about control and removing more dangerious features like macros.

The brown color of the white is also a dead give away. I'm not sure why OpenAI is afraid of actual white.

 

I'm going to try posting here interesting Godot dev updates I find on Mastodon. I am in no way associated with this game.

I finally wrote up my process for creating a 3D printed Alice in Wonderland shadowbox.

I used the Disney Classics #8 book cover as the art to work from. It's all 3D printed except for the laser cut acrylic sheets.

For those of you who were confused even after reading the comments: (a)(b) basically means a*b. My mind just didn't connect that to the fact that (x-x)=0. in the (a-x)(b-x) stuff is also (x-x) which = 0, and anything * 0 = 0, so no matter the value of literally everything else in the equation, it all equals out to 0 because every single () will get multiplied by (x-x), which is 0. There, hopefully that will clear it up for anyone remaining lost. And like all good jokes, they are always best when you have to explain them.

Reminds me of StumbleUpon. An old way of sharing and finding content.

Both cursed and nice. If you plan is to have a box for emulating old games, it is really a great theme for it.
