My kitchen faucet does this. It's a 2-axis lever. Y axis is the temperature adjustment, X axis is flow. As long as you leave it set to the same Y position when you turn it off and on, it'll be at the "last used combination".

It's a ton of fun. Honestly, I suggest you play it the way I did as a kid, and bring out a bunch of paper and pencils and start drawing your own maps by hand. There's something magical about that process, imo.
Yeah, at best it's "A framework for Red Alert 2 in web browser".
How does one even accidentally steal a texture someone else made?
One could easily apply Hanlon's Razor to this. For example:
- Bob is a game artist. Bob has a folder on his desktop called "Inspirations", where he saves art pieces he finds online that he likes, and a folder called "Assets" where he saves things he's created for the game. Bob transfers to a new department in the studio, or quits, or is fired; either way, he returns his equipment to the IT office.
- Dave is an IT guy at the studio. Dave takes Bob's computer after he leaves the job, and transfers all of Bob's files to the studio's shared drive. Dave isn't an art guy, and doesn't know the difference between "Inspirations" and "Assets", and dumps them all into the shared drive in a folder called "Bob's Things".
- John is the studio's new artist, replacing Bob. John syncs "Bob's Things" to his computer. John assumes everything in this folder has already been cleared for use by Legal. John starts implementing the art into the game.
I used to be a pretty hardcore Destiny 2 player for several years. In that time, I've seen Bungie fuck up a lot of things. But those fuck-ups were almost entirely caused by somebody in the studio not playing close-enough attention to something, and details getting mixed up in the pipeline. I don't think anybody at Bungie knowingly put Antireal's art into the game. I think the more likely explanation is that there was a lack of oversight, and files that shouldn't have been mixed together, got mixed together.
It wouldn't even be the first time Bungie had something like this happen; there was an instance where a third-party studio that Bungie contracted to build a Destiny 2 cut-scene accidentally used artwork that was not intended to be in the actual cut-scene.
Not to suggest that any of this excuses Bungie for multiple cases of plagiarism. Obviously, they need to have stricter standards in place when transferring files between parties. It's a colossal fuck-up, but I don't think that it was a fuck-up anybody set out to commit.
Chang’e-6 samples contain iron oxides, previously thought to be absent from moon, which may have been generated by impacts, scientists say
We had mostly 8s, but somehow a few 4s got added in. Here I am now, 30-ish years later, and my roommate has 4s in her kitchen, too.
Holy shit it just gets better and better.
I've got bad news for you; those may have been sharts.
I used to work as a PQI contractor at Nest, and we actually had test setups like this in the office that were just a circuit breadboard mounted on a plate behind the thermostat. The thermostat doesn't really "communicate" with the HVAC control system at all (all it does is just send ~3V along the circuits based on its current mode), so as long as you have the circuits routed properly on your board, the thermostat will think it's connected to a real system.
The stock firmware doesn't let you go above a certain temp (like 80F or something, I forget the exact limit). But if your custom firmware allows it, the only thing that would realistically happen is that it just runs a 3V circuit to what it thinks is the heater, infinitely, since nothing is actually causing the ambient temperature to raise at all. The ambient temp reading comes from a sensor on the thermostat, itself.
"Having" is not the same as "owning".
But we don’t actually have ownership rights any more, do we?
When it comes to video games, we've never had ownership rights. Buying a game has always been just buying a license. The only thing that's changed is that now publishers have a mechanism with which to enforce it.
