Piracy is a service problem.

Yes but also it is increasingly becoming a price problem

Deello ,

I remember playing with a similar feature on my Galaxy S3 back in the day. Eye scrolling. The phone would scroll for you when it sensed you looking at the bottom of the screen. That was the S3. It was not perfect but very usable. My hands always felt faster so I never kept it on but it was a fun thing to play with. I’m sure the only thing stopping them is the fear of backlash. We’ll get there in time I’m sure :/

You just gotta let the sink in or something

If you send in a phone with non-OEM parts it’s safe to assume that it’s a bit on the older side. You’re probably sending it in instead of buying a new phone because you can’t find a repair shop that will work on your device because sourcing parts can be difficult for older devices. If you’re suddenly hit with a bill that costs more than the value of a new phone, or at least a replacement, suddenly paying becomes questionable. But yeah, you’re right. It feels like theft.

Customer: my phone doesn’t charge

Estimate:
$100 USB charge board
$50 labor
$10 shipping $160 total

Actual price:
$120 Screen (OEM replacement)
$75 fingerprint reader+assembly (OEM replacement) $40 speaker (OEM replacement)
$100 USB charge board
$120 labor
$10 shipping
$465 total

I think most people would swallow the loss and use it as an excuse to upgrade. Use that same money for a new phone instead of a fixed phone

The phrase “hill to die on” is perfect. It’s a war term and that’s what he’s doing. Going to war against governments and companies on behalf of consumers. He just likes to record himself while he does it.

He made a video about a real problem using recent headlines and you’re upset that everybody else is doing it? You do realize this issue is so widespread that it has an entire logo dedicated to it on consumer products. Not that anybody notices. At the very least he is bringing attention to the issue.

I do admit though, this man loves a good rant. This all comes from someone who doesn’t really follow his career but is a fan of his work. Like you said, dude comes out of nowhere.

Kinda unrelated but everyone should check out gray jay

Deello ,

You say that’s the best we can do.
No. It isn’t.
That’s the bare minimum and I don’t think we will get even that much.

Deello ,

The first game is already on steam

Deello ,

Yes, happens all the time on gog. They don’t have the same library of games but there is an overlap.

Deello ,

Over the years I have heard stories where Valve closes an account after the owners passing. This is usually because the poster said they had trouble with something and explained that the original owner passed. Valve then responds by closing the account and ignoring the issue.

With that said I don’t think large groups of people can effectively share a library/account because only one person can play at a time. Small groups like spouses, parents, siblings or a small friend group is doable because it is easier to coordinate who is gonna use the account at any given time. This is especially true if they live together.

With the Deck, I have issues where I boot up a game on my living room PC and my Deck closes it’s game making me lose progress on the Deck. Imagine that multiplied 20x. Getting kicked mid match, losing that boss fight, lose your high score, getting left on cliffhanger mid cutscene. The throw your controller rage stuff.

Carlson gave Putin a platform. I see a trend forming.

Can we do guns next?

Not to be that guy, but how long until the assassination attempts?

North Carolina bill to curb mask-wearing in protests could make it illegal for medical reasons too (apnews.com)

People wearing a mask during protests in North Carolina could face extra penalties if arrested, under proposed legislation that critics say could make it illegal to wear a mask in public as a way to protect against COVID-19 or for other health reasons....

Deello ,

Guns + ski mask + Hawaiin shirt = acceptable
Blue hair + medical mask + no guns = illegal
It’s just “common sense” people. Use your best judgement officers.

Mirror all data on NAS A to NAS B

I’m duplicating my server hardware and moving the second set off site. I want to keep the data live since the whole system will be load balanced with my on site system. I’ve contemplated tools like syncthing to make a 1 to 1 copy of the data to NAS B but i know there has to be a better way. What have you used successfully?

Deello ,

Better options have already been mentioned. With that said another option might be torrenting.

Deello ,

And it is attached to a subscription service that rotates games on a whim.

Deello ,

Look at Mr Responsible over here buying up necessities with the $1,800 we got 4 years ago.

Deello ,

A few more people have stepped forward recently. That list is about to get bigger.

Deello ,

I don’t entirely agree with you because what you are saying is basically stop here. Here sucks. Hard. The window shifted. We need to shift left a bit imo. That includes taxing rich more and spending it in house not abroad. Military doesn’t count. They don’t need the extra money. And yes, authoritarian tendencies are bad. They are just made worst by a strong loyal military. How long before they remove the clause about not following orders that are illegal?

Deello ,

Front + trunk

This isn’t the first EV to do this. It’s not even the first Tesla to do it.

What’s next onlyfans patreon and twitter? Paying for porn is a common use on these platforms. Maybe visa/mc too for processing the payments? This is all really stupid. Being free is starting to sound expensive.

Leopards, am I right

I honestly assumed the number/percentage was higher

I thought they just pour a bottle/can in a cup and call it a day. That’s what happened when I bought a buzzball for my wife last week. We weren’t expecting a full cup of buzzball but we weren’t complaining because we still got a full drink. They literally opened and poured it in front of us and tossed the empty container. I don’t remember seeing anything on tap but that could just be my local Cinemark.

Deello ,

You found your way here. Just wait until it happens. Alternately maybe follow Fedoras release notes

Deello ,

I’ve heard this argument thrown out before but my issue is always that you have a permanently declining user base since you can’t buy more copies. This is a band aid delaying the inevitable. It will not allow a game like this to live forever.

Deello ,

I still have that feature on a few different browsers. Mobile and desktop. What browser are you using that doesn’t?

Deello ,

I remember there was a water treatment plant or something similar that got hacked. The hackers started messing with the levels of the chemical mixtures to poison an entire city. The only reason it didn’t end in catastrophe is because there was somebody watching that specific screen at the exact moment it happened. Seeing this made that scenario more terrifying.

Deello ,

That changes when GabeN passes.

Deello ,

You forgot to add “where they get all the profits.” It’s the exact same play that big oil used to slow down the roll out of renewables and EVs.

The FCC and the government at large isn’t to blame for this one. The ISPs collected the governments money to run high speed Internet to the rural parts of this country. Blame your ISP for not using the funds as intended. Maybe also blame the government for not holding them accountable for not delivering.

Deello ,

$87 for grocery used to get you gourmet organic foods. In 2024 you get uncrustables. I hate this timeline.

Deello ,

Rolling out, yes. Everyone that is already covered in one of their locations doesn’t lose service because they’re no longer expanding to new neighborhoods. Likewise, moving into one of those neighborhoods makes you a potential customer.

Deello ,

This feels like suing gun manufacturers over murder. They made the tool but they’re not the ones responsible for the crime.

Deello ,

Creating material that is copyright infridgement is not a desired output

Agreed.

the purpose of guns is to kill (when used).

Guns is a term with varied definitions of which not all are intended to kill. There are rubber bullets, air soft, small caliber, and even paint ball guns. These MAY be lethal but were made with other goals in mind.

Nvidia on the other hand made GPUs for applications that revolve around video, the G literally stands for graphics. Some people found out that they are also efficient at other tasks so Nvidia made a new line of products for that workload because it was more lucrative. Gamers usually only buy 1 graphics card per machine, a few years ago some would even buy up to 3. In contrast, AI researchers/architects/programmers buy as many as they can afford and constantly buy more. This has made Nvidia change their product stack to cater to the more lucrative customer.

AI manufacturers depend on copyrighted material to “train” the AI

With everything I said, these AI creators CHOOSE what to feed into these new tools. They can choose to input things in the public domain or even paid-licensed-content but instead using copyrighted and pirated content is the norm. That is because this is a new field and we are collectively learning where the boundaries are and what is considered acceptable and legal.

Reddit recently signed a deal to license it’s data (user generated content like posts and comments) for use with AI generation. Other companies are using internal data to tailor their AIs to solve field-specific problems. The problem is that AI, just like guns, is a broad term.

the method of creation makes it more likely to infridge.

Nvidia has given us the tools but until we define what is considered acceptable, these kinds of things will be inevitable. I do believe that the authors had their copyrights infringed but they are also going after the wrong people. There have been reports of AI spitting out full books on command, clearly proving that those works were used to train. The authors should be going after the creators of those specific AIs, not Nvidia.

There is a long and bumpy road ahead.

I’ve uninstalled it dozens of times. Uninstalling Windows is the real tip.

But gaming…

Deello ,

It’s not always the default though

Deello ,

Most of what these devices do is fairly light compute-wise. There’s no real need to have the most powerful hardware when all it will really do is add to cost. Are there use cases for more powerful hardware, of course but for most people what we have is good enough. That said, I would love an updated Shield or competitor.

Deello ,

Florida man articles make more sense if you remember this fact

Deello ,

3 numbers so far…

Deello ,

I’m no scholar but maybe guiding a mob to disrupt an official proceeding with the threat of murder by gallows that were setup by a makeshift militia qualifies as an insurrection.

“I’m sorry officer, I didn’t know I couldn’t do that”

We do. They don’t.

Agreed, I read it as League of Legends

Not just any Roomba. A Roomba that phones home to the Police Dept. This thing might only move 3mph but those airport police certainly won’t be.

Deello ,

Fines should be paid directly to the workers that had to work under these conditions. They should also be paid in multiples of yearly salary, it’s a trillion dollar company. The company pays more as a consequence and those that suffered get compensation. Maybe also a percentage should go to the agency (not Amazon related) overseeing this kind of thing like the NLRB.
