I think they kept it on the low because they don't want people realizing that they're viewing the contents of their whispers, even if you have no reasonable expectation of privacy.

I don't mean to backseat engineer, but ensuring your BRAIN INTERFACE DEVICE succsessfully connects seems pretty fucking vital and worth of a redesign. Even if its expensive. Even if the probability is low, it needs to be virtually zero.

Its hard to take a step back and view this as regular product development that has timelines and such strictly due to the nature of the product. This is almost literally the most invasive a product can be, you better fucking nail your execution.

The people that actually would benefit from this technology deserve better.

Agreed, stop scrolling the comments and go read it random reader.

I used to get so excited by tech advances but now I've gotten to the point where its still cool and a fascinating application of science... but this stuff is legitimately existential. The author raises great points around it.

I was part of the Initial YouTube Premium (YouTube Red anyone?) So I havent had to see ads on any of my family devices in YEARS. Back when Google Play Music was included with it. Such a freaking bargin back then, bailed on Spotify immediately.

I realize that that stupid little choice has changed the way I consumed content. I don't watch traditional media nearly at all anymore. Same for my siblings and cousins who're on my family plan. I also like the fact it more directly supports the creators I come back to week after week.

The price increases have been a lot, and I'm fortunate to be able to pay for it. As my sole streaming platform I pay for, I find its worth the value. That DOESNT mean I agree with the scummy policies they've been implementing. It just sucks that with my conintued payment it sort of reflects the idea I am.

On pure speculation, it seems like iii could be a parallel to AAA. Maybe some sort of indie cooperation initiative?

My grandpa was full chatbot, but im only about a fifth after my DNA Test and code review.

This actually opens an interesting debate.

Every photo you take with your phone is post processed. Saturation can be boosted, light levels adjusted, noise removed, night mode, all without you being privy as to what's happening.

Typically people are okay with it because it makes for a better photo - but is it a true representation of the reality it tried to capture? Where is the line of the definition of an ai-enhanced photo/video?

We can currently make the judgement call that a phones camera is still a fair representation of the truth, but what about when the 4k AI-Powered Night Sight Camera does the same?

My post is more tangentially related to original article, but I'm still curious as what the common consensus is.

The right to hold a bigotted opinion should NOT superceed my right of self expression. You want to be a homophobe? Fine, but keep it to your fucking self and let's the gays exist.

First Bigmode release right? Interesed to check this out, decent enough trailer!

The bots were always there, the bot-to-human ratio is just much higher now

8bitdo Pro 2. I LOVE me some 2D platformers, and the D-pad is absolutely amazing for me. I think I have 4 in total now, two wired two wireless?

Only problem is the sticks wear out, but they sell replacements! So no tossing the whole controller :D

At least with the 12v to 120v it just won't work instead of exploding

Not in the US. In EEA* as pointed out by BaardFigur

Im an avid twitch user. Please put down the pitchforks you may have from the title. This is her whole schtick (morgpie), finding creative ways around the censorship. Yes she does sex work, but she's also a great streamer in her own right and is actually playing the games on screen. She constatly holds a chat of like 4k people and streams for HOURS. You can only horny watch for so long, at a certain point people are staying because they just enjoy her personality and stories.

Like this is fucking hilarious. Subjectively ofc, but If my owlverweight man ass were to do the same thing, everyone would just be laughing at me.

Ohhh fuck thats right I forgot my oligarchal overloads for a minute

thank you. Im all for sticking it to employers, but sharing feedback with a place you left on good terms from seems like a great way to maintain professional relationships. Also helps your old coworkers out.

Bad Jobs and Bad Employers Excluded obvi

Im a top in this case solely due to the wrestling move potential. Bout to suplex my brother back into the womb.

Its the water - its turning the freaking frogs gay

To be fair, Playboy Carti has very weird media requests and rarely ever does interviews. Adin was desperate to compete with the likes of other streamers, like Kai Cenat who's had crazy poplar rappers like Nicki Minaj and Offset on. Tried to ride that wave and got fell off the surfboard.

That picture was a pure snippit of you. It took confidence to ask the unknown lurkers for their input, and confidence is beautiful and strong. Even if your physical attributes aren't to your liking, your personality will be what sticks with people.

Im not sure you can make blanket "as you can see" comments like that. I don't see ugly. I see someone who was determined enough to graduate.

Please reevaluate why you feel ugly and address it by making choices YOU feel will fix it, one step at a time.

Agreed with OP. I don't even play any Riot games but read through this FAQ. VERY upfront, cool to see.

please do not take this as support for the kid, just wanted to add some more info

Man, the streamer Squeex has been playing GTA RP as Vivek "Ramasquamy" and it has ruined my ability to say his name normally.

Its honestly sad though that a streamer basing his satirical character on a real politician says shit that isnt as outlandish as the actual politician.

✌️ DAAAYYY ONEE ✌️

I didnt immediately recognize it as having that COD feel, but the second after the helper astronaut points you to the right direction then fucking dies I could see the cinematic experience start to unfold

For purely steam gaming and browser work, I've really liked Pop! OS.

Okay. I use AI for hobbies, like art and getting D&D campaign ideas, so I was waiiting to see what the S24 could bring. Being able to do it locally on my phone would be amazing instead of zipping it off to DALLE or whatever.

I will almost assuredly not be paying for something that should be able to run on the locally on the hardware.

I could be misinformed but that was the whole selling point of Snapdragon 8 gen 3 was its on board NPU, no?

$50 for a perpetual license seems pretty damn reasonable.

Farcry 3-5 are some of favorite games to revisot. Gameplay is just so solid.

Exactly. I envision them threatening to leave, but ultimately not taking the revue hit by raising prices for the end users.

I don't agree with profits over everything. I anticipate the public narrative blaming the drivers or politicians for them exiting the market, but in my opinion its their own corporate greed thats pushing them out. This is unfair and people shouldn't be vilified for standing up for workers rights.

Ive generally always agreed with the former comment, but I've heard this argument a few times and it does demonstrate the disconnect well. I've switched it up to a simple y'all.

Multireddits were a GODSEND

Gaming PC is in the living room for gaming and media center.

Laptop in my office up stairs for programming and I use Steam Remote Play for games that require keybmouse. Its nice because I can just unplug it from my dock and head downstairs with it if I want to browse on the couch.

I have a tablet too, but that's used solely for movies, YouTube, or when I'm DMing because the footprint is smaller.

Js13k is such a cool find! The top few games are really good for what they claim to be what de hec

Hmmmm yeah I'm torn on this one. Id put stray into a category where visuals are actually important and I much prefer to play it at 4k than on my Steam Deck. Normally Im 100% gameplay over everything.

But it doesn't look awful they did a great job working with switch hardware.

Overall I'm happy more people get to play Stray, its the first game my non gaming girlfriend saw videos of and wanted me to buy it for her. And like a lot of people, she probably wouldn't even notice if it was running at 1440 vs 720.

Orange kitty go purrrr

Side note, I have such mixed feelings on HP. I have only anecdotal things to say, so please keep that in mind!

I bought a budget HP Pavilion back in 2020, for a similar reason to you, because of the Ryzen setup. It sees use 4-5 times a week. And I have to say... I love it.

The build quality is, in my opinion, outstanding for a budget ($600) laptop. Its metal, solid, with almost no noticable keyboard flex. It feels so much better than both Dells my wife and I use for work. And the keyboard is actually my favorite of all the boards in my house.

My family has always had new tech coming in and out of the house and one of the longest lasting devices we had was an HP 2-In-1.

I don't support their scummy software practices (shoutout brother printers). But for the most part every piece of HP tech I've bought has been average or above. But online they're somewhat universally panned. Its interesting.

Would love some Lemmy input on this as well

Pretty good I think!
