You shouldn't have to pay a price for choosing not to use AI.
“This is a particularly clear example of the tech industry going out of its way to force A.I. on us all — even if we have said we don’t want it.” —Morgan Polikoff, USC
AI should always be a choice. Turning it off shouldn’t cost a school its search engine too.
Google is now threatening America's schools, saying they will turn off their core search functions if schools choose to entirely block AI.

Dampe RNG has been solved on OoT
When Dampe blinks, he flutters his eyes either 3 or 4 times. By taking note of how long each blink is and putting them in a calculator, the possible RNG seeds can eventually be narrowed down to guarantee the heart piece, at the cost of some waiting.

The citizen is dead. The human is now the default choice everywhere. The model still exists in the game and so games that use it will keep using it, but it's no longer visible in the menu or the avatar editor.

Thank goodness. I finally have room for all 11 Nintendos on my square table 😍
The optimality of the packing for 11 squares has been formalized in lean thanks to Astra and Claude! Huge thanks to @ojoshe, @kleddamag, @wand_125, @guzhou0806, and @ctjlewis for aiding in the process.

Seeing an elderly Ben Quadinaros is a perfect visual representation of what it probably feels like when an absolute legend carries an entire sport throughout their career.

Who the heck at 343 thought "the hunters need a weak spot to make them easier to fight" was a good idea. Thats like making sniper jackets in 2 less accurate. We enjoyed the struggle, we enjoyed conquering difficult challenges. This is a dumb change that didnt need to happen at all
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Hunters in the original Halo: Combat Evolved had an exposed weak spot on their back that could be one-shot killed with a pistol. halo.fandom.com/wiki/Mgalekgol… youtube.com/watch?v=QLwDuI…
