Forza Horizon 4 did this but worse. It would be an unskippable 2 minute video ad ignoring your volume settings. It only played 5 times in my 45 hours of gameplay but it was so damn unacceptable that it's reminding me to give that game a negative review.

Forza Horizon 5 does not do this. Get that game or something else instead.

FX File Explorer. Super fast, feature-rich, and customizable, free with no ads and tracking.

They should allow premium users to use third party YouTube clients using an API, like Reddit before Spez's war on third party apps.

What was it like to ride?

A motorcycle is cheap, fuel-efficient, and fun.

The uncomfortable part about the Sportster was actually how unexpectedly aggressive the riding position was. I expected laid-back similar to my GZ250 which is also a cruiser.

I am starting to think of ADVs as the SUVs of motorcycles. Usually, big, tall, off-road capable, comfortable, not particularly sporty, expensive, and trendy.

At the moment I am extremely budget-conscious so I'll be sticking with my 250 unless I find a smoking deal for another motorcycle. Currently I'm a college student that doesn't really need a motorcycle, but I really wanted one. Where I will be able to get a nice motorcycle is if I can spend my future car budget on a motorcycle instead...

I used that for a while specifically because of that feature. But I switched to uBlock origin when I found out it could block those autoplaying videos as well.

That's 149KW (200hp) on that tiny car? That sounds like a hoot to drive

It is currently overhyped and so much of it just seems to be copying the same 3 generative AI tools into as many places as possible. This won't work out because it is expensive to run the AI models. I can't believe nobody talks about this cost.

Where AI shines is when something new is done with it, or there is a significant improvement in some way to an existing model (more powerful or runs on lower end chips, for example).

This doesn't tell the whole story. It seems like the aggregate cost of Kimberly Clark products fell by $75M. But perhaps the diapers did increase in cost? Further analysis is needed.

This might be a hot take here, but I'd be open to instances running a limited number of ads with minimal tracking to generate enough revenue to keep the instance afloat.

It's why I did use the official Reddit app at first when I started using Reddit. They can't bleed money forever. But when they kept making the app worse and worse and worse that's when I switched to third party apps. And after they killed those, I didn't have any sympathy for Reddit because I was sick of their continued greed.
