Staged. It's a requirement that vehicles are strapped down to the bed. Usually wheel and/or chassis tie downs are used. That appears to just be on the winch.
I feel Apple's big problem is the lack of big data to train any AI LLM model.
They have statistics on usage, but they don't have the written social media, messaging (they were early adopters of end-to-end encryption), they didn't scrape the Internet before the book companies and new sources were wise. So they have no choice but to use a third party LLM provider. Which ties them in knots with their own stance on security and privacy. In short, they are royally stuffed when it comes to developing an in-house AI.
Nothing is black and white. Democracy can suck, just as communism can. The risk is people who blindly think one is vastly superior over the other.
Democracy needs a lot to make it work well, and there are many examples around the world of it. Good education, mandatory voting, accessible voting, and removing money from politics are just a few elements that need to be sorted for a functional democracy. The USA is the playbook on what not to do with democracy.
Weekend PC Game Deals: Showcase specials, Timeloop freebies, Resident Evils, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Weekend PC Game Deals is where the hottest gaming deals from all over the internet are gathered into one place every week for your consumption. So kick back, relax, and hold on to your wallets.
The Epic Games Store brought the finale of its Mega Sale mystery giveaways this week, and that involved giving away the Bethesda and Arkane title Deathloop alongside the indie title Ogu and the Secret Forest. Deathloop comes in as a time-loop FPS adventure that puts you into the shoes of an assassin that must take down eight targets in a single day to escape the time travel shenanigans. In usual Arkane fashion, each target can be taken care of in multiple ways, and there are supernatural powers that give the player upgrades like teleportation and telekinesis. There is an invasion mechanic for taking down other players in their campaigns too.
As for Ogu and the Secret Forest, it's an indie adventure featuring hand-drawn characters and intricate puzzles. The 2D game involves befriending characters across a fantasy land as baby Ogu, with plenty of exploration elements and boss battles available.
The Deathloop and Ogu and the Secret Forest giveaways are available on the Epic Games Store until June 12. On the same day, the store will begin a giveaway for the humorous hospital simulation entry Two Point Hospital.
Next, we look at a giveaway happening on the Steam store. Gearbox is only a few months away from releasing Borderlands 4, and to prepare some new fans, Borderlands 2 is free to claim on Steam right now.
The four-player cooperative title offers a humorous campaign filled with wacky villains, a massive amount of weapons to loot, and skill trees that let you break the balance entirely.
The Borderlands 2 giveaway on Steam is live right now. It's slated to come to an end on June 8 at 10am PT.
Since it's a new month, the Humble Choice bundle went through its standard refresh earlier this week, releasing eight more games for subscription holders to add to their library.
This time, you can grab Warhammer 40K: Boltgun, Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1 and 2 Remastered, Nobody Wants to Die, Dungeons of Hinterberg, Tchia, Sker Ritual, Biped, and Havendock.
It will cost you $12 to get all eight games. As a month-long Humble Choice Bundle, though, you can ponder the contents until July 1, when a new selection of games will replace these ones.
In the regular bundle space, the Humble Store is also celebrating showcase season with its IGN Live bundle.
This carries Slay the Spire, Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator, and Bloodroots in the starting tier for $10. Next, paying $16 gets you copies of Art of Rally, Old World, and Black Book. Lastly, paying the full $22 for the bundle will add on copies of The Medium and Wartales.
The bundle has a two-week counter attached to it, so you have plenty of time to decide on it. Big Deals

I too am left of centre in my politics, and not from the USA. But to understand what enables this sort of wealth means you have to understand the American mentality and generational politics, and what that means.
My point was that its sort of ironic that he's giving away much if it to another country, because of the prevalence of individualism and tax system in the USA. People who subscribe to that are probably the ones shocked that he's giving away his wealth, as they're the ones who say "you can do whatever you want to with your money!"
