First reason is the knowledge and understanding to paint like this has come and gone. We have paintings from Egypt from 100 BC that is very realistic. They are known as the Fayyum portraits.

Also, paint isn’t the most long lasting of materials, so less painted anything still survives. While many don’t know about it, but Greek and Roman statues were painted.

The problem with the gambit system was it was too easy to script an attack setting that the battles played themselves and you could only lose if you were grossly out leveled.

Finished the game like this by just walking thru it, just killed the challenge. And it wasn’t set up well to use commands, more just the gambit system.

No, not unless you have an x86 Android device. While this will run Linux apps, it will be limited to the CPU architecture. Unless there is a x86 to ARM translation layer on Linux that I’m not aware of?

That’s an amazing strawman argument you have there. But please, let’s stay on topic.

The topic was “Apple shares iCloud data with law enforcement, regardless of whether the iCloud data is encrypted or not”.

Sure, here is the legal document from Apple by Apple of what they share with law enforcement.

Included inside is:

III. Information Available from Apple A. Device Registration B. Customer Service Records C. Apple Media Services D. Apple Store Transactions E. Apple.com Orders F. Gift Cards G. Apple Cash H. Apple Pay I. Apple Pay Later J. Apple Card K. Savings L. iCloud M. Find My N. AirTag and Find My Network Accessory Program O. Extracting Data from Passcode Locked iOS Devices P. IP Address Request Q. Other Available Device Information R. Requests for Apple Store CCTV Data S. Game Center T. iOS Device Activation U. Connection Logs V. My Apple ID and iForgot Logs W. FaceTime X. iMessage Y. Apple TV app Z. Sign in with Apple AA. Apple Push Notification Service (APNs)

They’ve been doing it for data on device, not on iCloud (cloud data). They have full access to that.

Apple is still not offering governments a backdoor into encrypted content

You mean like they have to under the USA PRISM Act?

Wow, that gameplay.

Double check prices first. I moved from Canada to the Euro and all electronics are about 20% more expensive here (when converting the currency). Including from the companies website (Google, Microsoft, Apple) so it’s not just a third party raising prices issue.

This is why I buy my TVs from Costco. If it needs internet at any point, return. It’s a TV, it shouldn’t need internet at any point.

A slave doesn’t dream to be free, but to be a king

Welcome to nutritional science. This is common with just about everything in it.

When I had to take a course on it, this was quickly pointed out by the professor, with an egg as the example. Some years it’s the best thing you can eat, others it’s the worst.

Yeah, but they were just a bunch of Monkees

I think music staring going downhill when music was no longer an audio only thing. Once bands were expected to make videos, posters, and “act” on stage, suddenly a lot of musicians had problems getting into the business. They want to make music, not become pseudo-actors.

That would be a part of Telsa, as it calls out Musk’s actions there.

“Disco Descent” from Crypt of the Necrodancer

I meant a call 15 minutes before there were there.

Reminds me of my Telus internet.

“A technician will come to fix your internet problem Tuesday and they will be there sometime between 8am to 5pm. They will give you a 15 minute call before they arrive. If there is no one home when they come by, you will be given a $150 no show fee.”
