If I can avoid it!

...Yes. We're all fucking nerds.

Just a heads up, Fireproof Safes are not failure proof, you should have that key securely stored somewhere else as well.

In a similar vein I made an account on ebay once years ago, and inside a day I was banned for "unpaid seller fees"

On my one day old account that had never done a transaction???

https://openloco.io/ too!

Chris Sawyer made a lot of games that have since been reverse engineered lmao.

We're tired, chief.

My UI is pretty responsive. Of course, I also don't run MacOS or Windows, so...

Fucking REALLY?!

That's making a LOT of assumptions, like that he saved the seed and so on.

Amazon Mechanical Turk?

That's a false equivalency and you know it.

Exactly as useful as they are today. Sure, it might not hold a candle to a model trained in 10 years, but it'll still be exactly as useful then as it is today, and run a lot faster too.

Good News! The Models are done, and you can download them for free. Even if they stopped being worked on this moment, those are finished and usable right now, and won't get any worse over time.

Because having all your eggs in one basket (GPUs), especially when that basket is artificially huge and likely to crumble, (AI Bubble), is a TERRIBLE idea?

Neuro-sama, the V-Tuber/AI actually does a decent job of it. Vedal seems to have cooked and figured out how to make an LLM move reasonably well in VRChat.

Not perfectly, there's a lot abuse of gravity or the lack thereof, but yeah. Neuro has also piloted a Robot Dog in the past.

On any modern phone, your phones user partition is encrypted with a key that is itself encrypted by a key stored in the CPU. When you factory reset, what's happening is basically the key in the CPU is deleted, then re-created. At that point the data on your partition is random noise, so a new encryption key is derived and used to format the partition.

Even better, modern Android then encrypted your personal data with yet another layer based on your password/key/pattern you use to unlock your device. Many layers.

Retrieving that data would be incredibly hard even for a nation state unless the encryption used was deliberately backdoored, and even then once the device TRIM's the space (which it likely does prior to formatting) that data is gone on a hardware level.

(TL;DR Can't move the memory chip to a new device, and even if you backdoor the OS you still need the users password)

I'm using Evie Launcher, but a really old version from just before the developer shut down the project and later removed it from the store. If you look today, you'll find a fairly convincing imposter that loves spamming you with ads, from a different developer.

The APK is at least 6 years old now.

>Laptops and phones have easy and relatively coarse brightness adjustment settings for their screens. Desktops didn't, and still don't.

You know what sucks? They do. Desktops do. They have since the late 90s.

Microsoft just never implemented it. Most desktop displays happily respond to brightness commands from the OS over DDCCI.

Reflection means it's got no difference (or a negligable technically) difference in brightness.

>I’ve never met a person saying they hate books and wish they were white on black.

I love books. But I also have a brain-vision disability that makes it so that I physically struggle to read black text on a white background.

If I could get books inverted, I would.

Sometimes the Cobbler tells you it's too far gone.

It's even worse than that.

The ARM Core starts up, does crypto, Loads the SecureOS and the BIOS, then it starts the x86 CPU - In 16 bit mode! Which then boostraps itself through 32 then 64 bit mode.

So in the first couple sends of power on, your CPU is at various points ARM, i386, x86, and x86_64.

Honestly the first half of that is just describing NixOS

They also said there was nothing coming for SteamDeck in terms of better hardware about a week before they launched the OLED.

Seamless Mode didn't work for anything newer than... XP, I think, as a guest? So it makes sense they'd drop it. Fun while it lasted though!

I think it's important to remember that Dotnet projects can use code built for older releases; to an almost absurd degree, and if you don't go to before the .NET Framework divide, you largely don't even need to change anything to move projects to newer frameworks. They largely just work.

The .Net platform is honestly the most stable it has ever been.

To be fair, if this keeps up, expect the price of a PS5 to skyrocket too.

>I have sometimes been told its unprofessional or looks bad to run things yourself instead of using a managed service.

That's an incredibly bad take lol.

There are times where "The Cloud" makes sense, sure. But in my experience the majority of the time companies over-use the cloud. On Prem is GOOD. It's cheaper, arguably more secure if you configure it right (a challenge, I know, but hear me out) and gives you data sovereignty.

I don't quite think companies realize how bad it would be if EG AWS was hacked.

Any Data you have on the cloud is no longer your data. Not really. It's Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, whoevers.

That's only kind of true; Wine itself supports older versions of DirectX with the target API being OpenGL instead of Vulkan. It's just not quite super performant and kinda buggy. That said, there's other wrappers you can use to convert older DirectX versions into new ones, and if you can get to DirectX 8 or 9, now you've got DXVK.
