Maybe for certain AI workloads, absolutely not for any games. Their drivers are already very well optimised, and the raster performance barely changed this generation.

If you still think Depp didn’t abuse Heard then clearly no amount of evidence is enough for you.

You can specifically target crawlers that ignore robots.txt, which will catch practically every LLM scraper.

It’s actually impossible to detect someone doing this without storing passwords in plaintext, which is incredibly insecure.

This looks mostly right. The precision slider is definitely probably only for the output, not calculations. The (up | 5/4 | down) is (always round up | round 5+ up and 4- down | always round down)

What I’d like to know is how the A and F settings are different.

This is nothing like GregTech! Where’s the tedious microcrafting to enjoy before every search?

At what point did I move the goalposts? I never denied that the recordings existed. I simply fail to see how someone at Apple would decide that selling private conversations is worth the insane risk.

Do you have any proof they sold that data? I’d love to know why the plaintiffs settled out of court if they thought they could prove Apple is feeding every voice recording into their ads. They had to pay 5x as much just for slowing down old iPhones, actively selling voice recordings would undoubtedly be worth far more than that.

The issue is that contractors had access to the recordings, which is certainly a breach of privacy, but not a grand conspiracy to target ads.

That Siri was bugged in a way that activated it unintentionally, which then sends recordings to Apple, is not in dispute. Turning that into “they’re always recording your conversations” is a big leap. Why would the whistleblower that revealed the recordings being misused not bother mentioning that?

So Apple and Google have created the most sophisticated spyware known to man, so undetectable that tens of thousands of developers and researchers have never even seen a sign of it, and then they use the data for ads so sloppily that anyone can prove they’re listening?

Rainbolt, it’s in the post title.

They’re saying 50Mbps 4k is shitty, not that 4k is a bad example. Modern Wi-Fi can definitely handle high-bitrate video 99% of the time, but that 1% where someone turns on a microwave can cause hella buffering. If you have the ability to run ethernet there’s no benefit to using Wi-Fi.

There’s no actual evidence that blue light hurts your eyes, but it can affect your sleep. Instead you should worry about the distance you sit and the brightness relative to the room, as well as making sure to take regular breaks.

You might’ve been misled by the preview image, this has nothing to do with filtering pixel art. It’s a really interesting read about how game developers can combat aliasing caused by rasterization, and a new method that’s far more accurate than the alternatives.

To be fair, it does have the most potential to cause harm if you exclude every kind of fossil fuel. And hydroelectric. That said, there isn’t a chance in hell I’m going to protest fission if the only alternative is more coal/gas.

It’s not too big of a leap

I think it is. I’d like to see at least one documented case of this happening before people start demanding that cars be able to move while plugged in. Plus, in the very scenario you describe, the car would still be able to move, no? Attaching a charger does nothing unless you’re changing to parked at every red light.

The only time you’d need to drive away while charging is if the attacker walks up while you’re sitting in your parked car, or kindly decides to let you get in before doing anything.

I can’t find a single instance of someone being unable to escape because of their charger, so maybe let’s worry about it if it ever becomes a problem.

Are you suggesting that no one is allowed to see Nintendo do a new bad thing and say “I’m no longer willing to give them my money”?

Not to mention there’s nothing ‘amicable’ about a massive corporation, infamous for their lawsuits, approaching a single programmer with a deal that is obviously the only way to avoid being sued, despite the fact that emulators are legal.

If someone purchases a Switch game they have every right to back it up and use an emulator to play it. Instead of strongarming these projects into submission, the ethical thing would be working with them to sell legal access to ROMs.

I would’ve thought they install licence plate frames when they put the cars out on display, though I do find the idea of dealerships running around randomly mounting them to other people’s cars amusing.

I don’t think that’s a good example.

The answer is simple: there is no “correct” way to enjoy art. Anyone saying vinyl is higher quality than digital is deluding themselves, but that doesn’t make vinyl a worse way to listen to music.

It’s more convenient to beat a video game on easy, and yet, many people find greater satisfaction in playing harder difficulties. It depends on how you would rather spend your time.

According to the attorney-general’s department, these are the criteria.

I don’t think this protest causes harm, serious damage, a public safety risk, or serious interference to critical infrastructure, so it’s not terrorism by Australian law.
