Fingerprint recognition is the worst I've used in decades though

The "AI" that we've got now is basically universal auto-complete. So if what you're making is "the same game, but..." then you can definitely get to the working demo phase a lot faster.

The ideal two person podcast has one fairly upbeat normie (usually the host) and one grump who loves to complain. Unbeatable formula.

Pick a Movie, and we'll erase all memory of it's content and story from your mind and replace it with an urge to watch it.

Possibly stupid question - since this this became law by a court ruling, does that mean that prosecutors can go back as far in time as the law passing, rather than the time of the court ruling to find people to charge?
