It seems inevitable that they'll soon be used as the starting points for developing almost all video game environments.
Not for the rendering (that's still way too expensive), but for the initial world generation that gets iteratively refined and then still ultimately gets converted into textured triangles.
You used to be able to buy leaded 110 gas as Sunoco in the early 2000's. It would make your exhaust tips turn white and had a sort of candy like smell when combusted.
It's arguably canon, even, if you consider the cross-over specials meaningfully "canon" as works designed not to hold up to storytelling scrutiny but simply bring in TV viewers.
For people who work in very classified/secure environments (designing weapons systems, rev eng UFO's, etc...) does M$ offer some version of windows without all of the AI crap and bloat?
The latest Windows 11 Pro for Workstations builds appears to still support workgroup or domain joins without requiring a Microsoft account. In terms of the OS still shipping with crap, it is still there but since there's no Internet connection the crap is largely useless.
Your browser (if you're using one of the "usual ones") doesn't really do much with the response's status code if it doesn't match a few specific ones for redirecting/caching/protocol shenanigans.
Anything in the 4XX range is going to be treated as just a regular ol' response, just like 404. (You could serve an entire site with all responses set to status=404, and be fine... other than probably never getting any cache hits) If you don't include a body in the response, the browser might sub in it's own error page, but it will just communicate that the user agent made a bad request.
I've seen sites that use unexpected HTTP response codes, I think to try to defeat bots. The front page would return a 503 Service Unavailable, but the body was just normal content that would load a bot detection script and then redirect you to the actual content.
I successfully wrote a bot that would bypass it all, but it was weird, and became a slight challenge since I couldn't rely on response codes to determine if I succeeded. When I solved the challenge, it would return a 400 Bad Request while serving me the content I was looking for.
204 has weird behavior in Safari and Firefox for example. Entering a URL returning 204 in the URL bar will not change the URL bar to it, leaving its contents to whatever was there before. Similarly if you click on it it would not actually navigate to the page.
Once upon a time, Internet Explorer used to substitute its own error pages if the body of the error response was too short for its liking. Those depended on whcih error code it got. (I expect nobody has used an old enough IE to see those pages for at least a decade.)
This (instant torque) is exciting for about the first week of electric car ownership, it gets old very fast. I have far more fun driving my much slower gas-engined cars.
There’s much more to enjoying cars than speed in a straight line, which I do not disagree at all most EVs are exceptional at.
Booting the go pedal at every stop sign or light just feels like being a bit of a childish jerk after a short while on public roads once the novelty wears off.
