I have AC but haven’t tried it in VR yet for some reason.

But to add to the (space) flying game category, Eve: Valkyrie is pretty fun for a quick thrill

I really want the Frame. The Index is one tech and cords suck. Oculus actually did a lot of things right but I just can’t justify throwing my money at Meta…

Who the fuck would hire any of these psychos at this point in time? I mean, I’m sure there are some MAGA businesses that might but a lot of them likely ended up in ICE because they’ve literally already failed at life everywhere else

I think that #2 is a bit subject to the situation. Like somebody’s elderly grandparent who happens to have incontinence issues and dementia should not be mocked because of those.

But the guy who’s leader of a powerful nation, takes constant shots at everyone else, and whose party actively CAMPAIGNED on his opponent being old and infirm… yeah that seems like fair game.

Shitting your pants in the nursing home versus the white house oval office are two very different scenarios

Yeah discovery wouldn’t be kind in that instance

Nice. At the moment I’m looking at using ESP based LilyGo devices since they’re fairly cheap and power efficient. The plan is to set them up in places where they can run off solar power during the day and if I get enough people onboard we can relay off each other.

The tech itself seems cheap and effective enough that it might be good for situations like i.e. the protests in MS where having a phone or other device with too much personal info - or subject to tracking -might be less desirable. It could also be good in situations like we’ve seen in other countries wherein the government cuts off Internet access

What do you mean, isn’t possible?

There are plenty of subtitle formats that come as a separate file rather than burned or embedded into the video. If whatever software they were using for broadcast selected the wrong sub it’s quite possible, though obviously the timing wouldn’t sync up.

SOP isn’t that far off from TEL so the possibility of selecting the wrong sub file seems to have decent potential

I’m in the process of starting with some LoRa stuff myself, and just waiting on hardware to arrive. Can you provide any details on what you’re using hardware-wise? I’m assuming that 300km is pretty much obstacle-free?

On my android the 5-tap activates SoS mode. Holding power for a moment gives the power off and lockdown option, as does pressing power+volup simultaneously. Power+voldown appears to be screenshot.

Most of these options will still keep the phone “active” though so I’m not sure about USB based hacks. If encryption is enabled I believe that forcing a reboot/shutdown means the data on the phone isn’t accessible until after unlocking via PIN/password on boot.

I mean, if you’re going that far you might as well start considering just leaving Microsoft’s bullshit OS entirely

Indeed, and now what GoG is pursuing stronger Linux offerings I may shop there more, but Valve had contributed more than just a shop and launcher. The Linux work with Steam Deck and Proton has been invaluable.

They fed them on the Internet including libraries of pirated material. It’s like drinking from a fountain at a sewage plant

Yeah, a lot of people seem to think that these companies built these AI’s by buying or building some sort of special training set/data, when in reality no such thing really existed.

They’ve basically just scraped every bit of data they can. When it comes to big corps, at least some of that data is likely from scraping customer’s data. There’s also scraping of the Internet in general, including sites such as Reddit (which is a big reason why they locked down their API, they wanted to sell that data) but many have also been caught with a ton of 'pirated ’ data from torrents etc.

I’m sure there was a certain amount of sludge in customers’ synced files, and sites like Reddit, but I’d also hazard a guess that the stuff grabbed from torrents etc likely had some truly heinous materials that they simply added to what was getting force-fed to AI, especially the early ones

That strip hit surprisingly hard.

Steam is big in there too. It makes sense for both companies because they make their money from content.

If an animation or game development team/studio can produce better quality content, cheaper and faster, that just means more money for the company providing access to said content.

IIRC Signal was adding support for usernames instead of phone #'s

Every time I hear his name I can’t help but think of a cow, but this guy is full of more bullshit than any 4-legged bovine

The symbolism in the movie is apparently in contrast to the book, which glorified war and the human side. The director decided to take it another direction and it was a fucking great decision

“whom I speak for”

Pretty fast to grab the reins on that one, hmmm

No shit. Like right now the fuckers aren’t even keeping proper plates on their vehicles and are still running around masked like gangsters.

Even if they did have a QR code, what’s it going to do give them a link to a hotline?

"Hello, this is the ICE complaints line, please leave your name, number, and residential address and we’ll dispatch an armed goon squad to deal with your ‘complaint’ "
