There was a fairly big 40K lore channel on YouTube with a rather good AI impersonation of David Attenborough's voice and narration style/scripting. However, I just went to check it, yet it must have recently gotten hit with a DMCA and taken down. A shame really. Though I never got into 40K lore before, or the 40K franchise in general, I am a big fan of David Attenborough, and so that ended up really drawing me in to a new literary universe. However, it was a big mistake by the YouTube creator to use the name and photo likeness of Attenborough in the branding, video titles, and thumbnail art on the channel. I think without pushing that line, the AI voice with a clear disclosure could have kept the channel under the legal radar.

From the pinned comments made here, this looks to be the same creators new channel, now using a different voice, no longer based on any one real person:
I do as well. I really appreciate the information density, key bindings, and optional web UI. Although I found if I leave glance is running for a prolonged amount of time, it has a tendency to crash from some python issue I haven't dissected yet, as it takes so much time to reproduce.
It feels like we're finally, and thankfully, coming full circle. I remember buying my first digital camera in the early 2000s, specifically chosen because it was one of the many that included USB web camera functionality. Aside from downloading the photos on its internal storage, external storage was optional, you could also use the included software to serve as a webcam source.
I can't remember if it included a microphone, I'm thinking it didn't. It also ran off on those small stubby film camera batteries, and not off USB power from the cable you connected it to, which was kind of dumb, and made it expensive to use as a webcam. The video quality must have been something around 140p, and any kind of conference call software was garbage back then as well. Yet the premise of a single device having multi-use features was such a no-brainer, given you already had have the PC USB integration to use it as a point and shoot digital camera.
Modern smart phones have such excellent cameras, it felt really odd that you had to use a lot of hacky work arounds and reencoding over network streams to emulate the same functionality that some of the first affordable digital cameras on the market had decades prior. I spend some time looking into weather a custom Linux kernel could be used with Android to emulate the standard USB profile of a UVC camera device, but it's really nice to hear that this kind of functionality is being pushed through Android mainstream development.

Guess it only took a pandemic and Apple to showcase the same functionality to spur the core Android development into gear to match feature parity.
I'd like to see the earlier Hot Pursuit and High Stake releases remastered. I loved those long scenic and rural tracks. I played a lot of NFS3, and then a lot of the 2010 reboot because the graphics where better, but I still miss that retro '90s hypercar aesthetic and soundtrack.
The 2010 NFS HP reboot helped supplement my nostalgia, but sometimes I'd just want to go back to that grippy arcade style of driving dynamics, but with modern graphical realism. E.g like this vision of NFS3 ported to use the Unreal 5 Engine:
What about a hyperspace bypass?
"You've got to build bypasses." - some earthling
That clip was really short and sweet.
Really enjoyed the hand painted water color animation.
Would also a perfect cross post for Deep into YouTube.
Any recommendations for fine tuning Sunshine to match Nvidia's local Gamestream? I haven't had much luck in getting Sunshine to run as smoothly at 4K 120Hz HDR 150Mbps via LAN as Nvidia's deprecated streaming server software, so have to slow to migrate over.
For the uninitiated:
On a meta note, I just fell for your community link.
Related commentary on the take down:
Yep, it was a lot of fun doing out maneuver and dropping spike strips at just the most opportune and inescapable moment. NFS3 also has split screen where players could even play on different sides locally during the dance race, or complete as both cops to catch the most races.
Huh, and here I thought "smh" was short for something like "*so much hate". That makes more sense.
Wonder what other abbreviations, on the Internet or elsewhere, go completely and blissfully misinterpreted by folks for years.
I really appreciate this patch to run NFS3 on modern Windows or Wine:
Need For Speed III Modern Patch v1.6.1 [2016/10/28] (HD + Widescreen + Portable)
The author has sence redacted the torrent link for the original game files bundled with a previous patch, but anyone can just as easily go back through intent archive to find it:
Aside from my PC, the newest device I own is only a snapdragon 8 gen 1 soc device, which I think sadly doesn't have a hardware AV1 decider. Definitely a consideration for later upgrades.
I'm surprised I couldn't yet find a dummy HDMI plug to spoof a 4K@120Hz capable display. All the ones I've found thus far only support 120Hz at 1080p, and never any HDR support at all. I have an OLED android device with 2K screen and matching refresh rate, but the without a physical monitor to stream capturing from. Emulating such display resolutions and colored depths also seems just as formidably challenging.
I kind of want to see a charter plot of that scoring function projected onto a 3-axis manifold with a colored heat map. How would I minMax my anticipated score given my current age or projected lifespan?
Oh, nice tip! Any good way of emulating that on a mobile Android keyboard? Or do you just copy and paste a lot? Perhaps this could be done with a custom autocorrect dictionary injury?
Are the two Linux devices on the same IP subnet?
Are any of the other KDE connect features working?
From the size and proximity of the projected shadow, how close do folks think that plane buzzed over that last building?
The left wing tip, it looked less than a wing span away in hight. Yikes!
