Damn, I wish I knew about this workaround before the takedown, I know someone who could benefit from it




Damn, Alex Navarro from Nextlander let me down then. Or I’m misremembering completely which is entirely possible.


I have heard that Nintendo has never lost a lawsuit which is a real shame if true.


Hurricane Helene dropped more than 2 feet of rain on Spruce Pine, N.C. The town is home to one of the world’s only sources of high-purity quartz, which is used to manufacture silicon chips and solar panels.





I feel I should probably consume more of them. Wait, am I a rabbit?

Is this Bugs’ Basilisk?


I think I have that same rug






Maybe, or maybe like harnessing fusion it will always be “just a few more years away!”



Their EIC is in the comments replying to people. He seems buttoned up about it (understandably) but I get the impression he’s not thrilled


That’s not what’s happening. The AI is ingesting the human made content (articles and comments). It isn’t writing any of the content of the site. I’m just going to cancel my subscription if they don’t give me a means to opt out of my comments feeding ChatGPT


Without these agreements, we don’t have any say or knowledge of how our data is displayed and what it’s used for, which has put us in a position now of blocking folks who haven’t been willing to come to terms with how we’d like our data to be used or not used

It’s the users’ data, not yours, you rent seeking fuck


Yeah I can live with having to turn on my bedroom lights manually. Certainly not paying 5 a month for that


I’m not so sure, Microsoft seems pretty content to take people’s money however they want to give it. They came back to steam two years after gamepass launched when they didn’t necessarily have to.


I knew this was coming. I’ve still gotten a lot of value out of gamepass in the interim. I’ll just cancel when the value prop is gone. Thankfully with sites like cdkeys or eneba it’s pretty easy to get a few months of gamepass for 10-20 bucks.


The least one of these dickheads could do is greenlight Ow My Balls already


Quick, someone explain to this guy how insurance premiums work. The cost is always passed down to the consumer, one way or another




They’re gonna call this pile of shit idea A.I. Michaels and act all smug about it, aren’t they?


Yeah fuck having a potential future replacement do the recap instead. I guess I should add the word human to that last sentence because it sure as shit seems they are testing out his actual replacement.




He has a vendetta against OpenAI as he tried to take it over and they wanted no part of that if I recall correctly


There’s also the quantitative easing that happened under Trump. Normally I wouldn’t criticize the POTUS for something the fed is in charge of but Donnie cried about the fed potentially raising interest rates his entire term which kept them from doing so. That left the fed with no tools but to spin up the money printing machines when Covid hit.


my work has been migrating to snowflake for the past year, great…


Yeah, but between federal and state credits, different types of systems, etc. I’ve had a hard time determining what makes the most sense for me. Doesn’t help that trying to do online research quickly funnels you into sales bs.


Wow that’s interesting. I hate how much power my pool eats up in the summer, I’ve been looking for something economical to help run it off of clean energy since the pump runs during peak solar hours anyway.


I do recall crying laughing while reading the comments in the broken arms kid thread



Every year when June rolls around I wonder if they’ll do something significant with iPadOS at WWDC and it’s never the case.


For the curious (and lazy):

According to repair biz iFixit, the issue with the power-frugal LPDDR memory chips is that the lower voltage they operate at calls for more attention to be paid to signal integrity between the CPU and memory. In practice, this has meant shorter track distances on the circuit board, leading to LPDDR being soldered down as close to the processor as possible.

LPCAMM2 is intended to address this by putting LPDDR onto a circuit board module that is “cleverly designed to mount right up next to the CPU,” with “very short traces to help maximize signal integrity,” the iFixit team explains in a blog and video detailing their hands-on with the ThinkPad P1 Gen 7.



Phone controller for Portrait orientation
In my search for the ultimate retro gaming machine I’ve been surprised by the limited options when it comes to controllers for iOS and android. While there are plenty of controllers that you can clip your phone onto in landscape orientation, I haven’t seen any that are designed to play in portrait mode. I see several benefits to a clip on controller for portrait mode. Pinball games, Tetris, and DS games all play best in portrait mode. Plus, a portrait mode controller would be close to the original gameboy in terms of form-factor. Anyone else looking for something like this? Have I missed a product that’s out there? Maybe once I get a 3D printer I can cannibalize a Bluetooth controller and experiment.
