Exactly. Spending 2 hours out of each day stuck in traffic for only a 20mile drive is psychotic.

LA’s transit system, hell even the idea of a central ‘downtown’, was never designed for effective mass transit. The metro rails that are expanding are better, but I know so many people that refuse to use it out of fear of being stabbed or mugged, the disgusting homeless encampments that are around the parking lots of the stations, etc…

Rent is the primary factor for sure, but I think you’re downplaying the impact remote work has, and/or not realizing the demand from employees for remote work. Many are taking pay cuts if they can remote work, and that does affect the labor market.

I’m out of the loop but I’ve seen this stated many times now re: .ml. What’s the deal with it? I thought it was mostly dev focused with memes and left-leaning stuff?

‘Nudify’ Apps That Use AI to ‘Undress’ Women in Photos Are Soaring in Popularity (time.com)

‘Nudify’ Apps That Use AI to ‘Undress’ Women in Photos Are Soaring in Popularity::It’s part of a worrying trend of non-consensual “deepfake” pornography being developed and distributed because of advances in artificial intelligence.

But some people don’t agree with you. They’re not comfortable with tech that can nudify them for millions to see. So if, and that’s possibly an impossible task, but if there was a way to punish services that facilitate or turn a blind eye to these things, then you bet your ass many many people would be for criminalizing it.

Pipe dream.

You’re not. The majority of people feel that way, but it’s mostly quietly though since saying otherwise publicly would be construed as being ‘sexist/misogynistic/puritan/etc/etc’.

Only a tiny fraction of society actively engages in social media. Remember that.

Ad hominem attacks are lazy logical fallacies that show the utter stupidity of people.

The fuck does this old fart’s vax position have to do with his allegation of Apple cutting out the Trump rant of his speech?

A true autonomous system would have Integrated image recognition chips on the drones themselves, and hardening against any EM interference. They would not have any comms to their ‘mothership’ once deployed.

“I received an email today about Avast customer data being leaked on the dark web. In the email, Avast recommends signing up for an additional paid service,” one user noted.

Shit all around is such a clown show.

Wow yeah. The delays have stopped on my end as well today.

Google: “You agreed to it.” You: “Wait. I agreed to it??” . . Hal: “You always have”

This is nuts lol

Parents Sue Gaming Companies Over ‘Video Game Addiction’, Because That’s Easier Than Parenting (www.techdirt.com)

Parents Sue Gaming Companies Over ‘Video Game Addiction’, Because That’s Easier Than Parenting::Video game addiction. Sigh. Big sigh, even. Like, the biggest of sighs. We’ve talked about claims that video game addiction is a documentable affliction in the past, as well as the pushback that claim has received from...

criticalthreshold ,

Exactly. There’s a lot more nuance than just ‘oh video game good, can’t control addiction, bad parents’.

criticalthreshold ,

Yep. I fully paid for Diablo4 w/ the early access with wow tokens.

A youtuber that actually devs and provides tools for the public?

What a gigachad.

Do yourself a favor and pick up an SNES emulator and get A Link to the Past. An iconic classic before the iconic classic that was OoT.

PNY's New PCIe 5.0 SSD Has an RGB Cooler With Dual Fans (www.tomshardware.com)

We’ll likely learn more about how efficient these drives are early next year at CES 2024 or not long after. So if you’re not keen on a PCIe 5.0 drive due to fans and bulky coolers, you might not have long to wait for better options. Just don’t expect them to be cheap when all signs are pointing to SSD price increases next...

criticalthreshold OP ,

If, and that’s a big if, this becomes a trend, then we’re likely to see the m2 connector locations on the mobo change (at least the primary lane connected to the CPU).

But to your point, this definitely won’t fit under a GPU lol

So this is like if the Switch charged you an extra $200 for the hand-held part?

This will be either hugely successful or will die an awful death and develop a PS Vita cult following.
