corgihamlet··on I let AI build a tool to help me figure out what was waking me up at night
You mean "Rollläden", Rouladen are the rolled meat things.
corgihamlet··on The gift card accountability sink
I work with someone who does payment for adult sites etc and even though they do offer Paysafecard not a ton of revenue is generated through them, because fees for the creators are quite high and I guess it's just inconvenient.

Most people who want to spend their money just do it using credit card, bank transfer, whatever.

corgihamlet··on OnlyFans' porn juggernaut fueled by a deception
At least porn addiction does not cause physical health issues except for gooning-induced calluses. ;)
corgihamlet··on OnlyFans' porn juggernaut fueled by a deception
Sounds like a nice application for an LLM, lol.
corgihamlet··on OnlyFans' porn juggernaut fueled by a deception
He was chatting on OnlyFans with a model, he wasn't chatting on a dating platform.

Regardless if he was chatting wit the actual model or some guy pretending to be her, they still would have told him ANYTHING he wanted to hear as long as he was there to pay.

I've had some first-hand experience with people like him and trust me - there is usually a very good reason why people like him need to pay to get attention from "women". You can blame the porn/sex industry as much as you like but there is a type of man that will never be satisfied by a normal relationship.

They do sell the Mac mini which is roughly the size of a router.
corgihamlet··on Rising rates of cancer in young people prompts hunt for environmental culprit
The cut-off date of the analysed data was 2019.
corgihamlet··on Rising rates of cancer in young people prompts hunt for environmental culprit
If you read the actual study referenced in the article you'll find that 10 of the 17 cancer types which are rising in the young cohorts are obesity-related. Lung cancer is actually down for the younger cohorts.

Another interesting find was a rise in anal cancer and Kaposi's sarcomas which are mostly related to HIV infections.

corgihamlet··on Autism makes travel a challenge. Here’s how I learned to cope
The one that grinds my gears is the one on TikTok where a girl took an autism assessment and got asked what 2 and 7 have in common.

I've seen spiritual girls on TikTok deriving divine messages from using Stable Diffusio on their face, almost using it like an oracle.
corgihamlet··on Every time you click this link, it will send you to a random Web 1.0 website
That's my experience with doing basically anything that's vaguely complex on mobile devices.

The iPhone camera is usually excellent, but there are some situations (for me it's autumn forests and funnily enough Disneyland at night) in which the auto white balance fails miserably. On my DSLM it's a simple question of just using manual white balance, but on the iPhone the only way to do it with the stock camera app is to do in post.

On that note, the Photos Mac app has a neat feature where you can fix white balance by calibrating on a neutral grey area, but that feature is missing on the mobile apps which just have a color temperature slider which does not give as good results.

But they probably all use Instagram.

You can use a VPN to use an American connection, it doesn't matter where your Google account is registered.
corgihamlet··on Netflix loses 1M users in Spain over password policing
I really enjoyed the first seasons of Élite (if only for Ester Expósito) but it's been going downhill ever since.
corgihamlet··on The day Windows died
I have read several stories that Gen-Z students often have serious issues understanding the concepts of files and directories. Their main way of interacting with such things is through "sharing" and links to Google Docs and whatever.
corgihamlet··on Samsung's AI photo feature adds creepy teeth to baby photos
Yes, for my personal photos. But you have to remember that people aren't taking photos for their own collection, they are taking photos to shine on social media.

Just look on Instagram. How could you compete with all those fit, beautiful and healthy people, if you don't heavily edit your photos.

(To be totally honest, I think that some beauty filters aren't as bad, because most people don't know how to hold their camera and tend to distort their face with closeup lenses.)

corgihamlet··on Touchpad Blocker: Disable touch-pad while typing
I hate that trackpad with a passion. My X240 had the same one.

Those machines don't have dedicated mouse buttons for the trackpoint and use the trackpad instead. For some reason the mouse clicks became unreliable every so often, registering presses on the wrong side or straight up moving my mouse cursor to the edge of the screen - even if it was disabled in the BIOS.

The issue was persistent across operating systems, so I returned the machine and got an X250 with dedicated buttons.

corgihamlet··on Show HN: You can ask ChatGPT to make ASCII art
I asked ChatGPT to give my Python code to draw an analogue clock in ASCII art. Did not work as expected but the base was there.
corgihamlet··on Tell HN: Copying and pasting from ChatGPT unsolicited sucks
Just for giggles I asked ChatGPT if PragerU was an reliable source. It answered that it doesn't know the specifics of PragerU and therefore couldn't say if it's reliable.
corgihamlet··on Criticizing Computers
> Good hardware is masking really bad software.

If you did not know, the new Pokémon games on Nintendo switch run abysmal - low resolution, even lower frame rate, pop-in, aliasing, etc.

Some people claim the "aging hardware" of the Nintendo Switch is to blame because the games looks just fine on overclocked systems and emulators.

Meanwhile older, probably better coded games like Breath of the Wild run without problem on the so called "aging hardware".
