WAN Show started at 5 AM, so that should give some context as to how long it took (Advantages of having only instant noodles - nothing is ruined!)

I love seeing topics on cyber security topics, especially for the fact of spreading information on hacks that happened and data breaches. Not everyone pays attention to company hacks, especially those not into tech, so when channels like LTT talk about it actually helps people out.

Then you clearly don't know how it looks like. The hand is supposed to be extended in the same angle as the arm. The arm is also supposed to be angled upwards and it needs to be the right srm unless you don't have one. Only tank drivers salutet differently because of limited space and the mustache man hinself also used a different gesture. They clearly show a stop gesture.

The app you’re talking about is Komoot. But the best part of Komoot is that you can find routes other bikers shared, or plan a route beforehand according to your needs, you can also import GPX files.

1:38:00 - I bet this is related to the cancellation of the unlimited storage option of Google Workspaces. At first they prevented people from uploading more data, and lately they have been giving deadlines after which the data, all or above the current Workspaces' data cap are just deleted.

[@trowawayacc]

Yep quietly limiting the unlimited.

[@sambobsam]

[@alexbiketester]

The best way for openai to act is to scan all the legal documents against it and at the same time all the evidence that is presented, which is all public access in court, which then means all the data can be used, of course depending on the country.

To the workspace story: I had a paid workspace account for an email, then moved on to another option. Was paired with my google drive. When I had 2 months left on my sub I cancelled the renewal and they wiped everything immediately rather than giving me the last two months I had to migrate my data out. No backup, no option to undo, no one to talk to.

[@overhaul4dabi]

Man one thing I never get is why companies make so many products like make just 3 or 4 products but make them good, good enough for their price bracket and make sure no one comes near them, everyone then will come back to you for the upgrade. I mean, what is the reason to make 10 bad products which sells less and is not good in their price bracket.🤬

[@matthewbanko9258]

Because that’s now this works. That’s not how any of this works. Jokes aside, diversifying a company’s product offering is how you safely make money. Investing all that time and effort into so few products, even if they are the best, limits your market share cap (a satisfied customer usually doesn’t come back for more if they’re happy with what they’ve got), and if somebody makes something better, you’re SOL. Plus, often times resources/experience with one product can be often transferred over to other similar products - which means less overhead per product. Now I understand this comment was made in reference to the whole GPU super lineup thing that Nvidia dropped…with respect to that issue, that is a pricing error, rather than a “bad product offering”. Recycling under performing chips/dies to make “lower end” or “in the middle” cards is nothing new. The price is just bad.

[@marcellkovacs5452]

There are companies like that. For example, ASML is the only company making EUV lithography machines in the world.

[@timschulz9563]

Yes, true. I remember back when Motorola had the Moto E, G, X and Z. I think it was great to know all the options. Take a look at their product palette now and you can't even tell how all all the same phones inside a family are related.

[@heyafro1]

Usually there are many products so they can use chips that didn't pass quality control for higher spec products. With that said, there is some companies that do what you're saying. Toyota rings a bell for me.

[@Tasselhoff88]

24:28 E-bike range is kind of a marketing gimmick because you can just turn the motor assist off and get unlimited range. 200 miles or even km with any assist power is pretty impressive though.

[@djp3637]

The TV improvements of getting smaller bezels was good. It means you could fit a larger TV in the same space. For example I use to have a 32" TV from 2009 that had bezels of 8cm+. But the 43" TV that replaced it in 2021 is a very similar width and height due to it having only 1-2cm bezels.

[@grn1]

The problem is that they kept going and made TVs so thin and light that they'll shatter if you so much as look at them funny.

[@Project2100]

Oh my god Freelancer! That brings back memories...

[@Faeint]

It's like people and corporations are trying to see just how much they can get away with rather than being afraid of the repurcussions

[@grn1]

Until recently there weren't any repercussions. The SEC and equivalent just let companies get away with shit. There's some legit conspiracies (not batshit crazy theories but actual, not so secret, conspiracies) behind a lot of it. As they say, follow the money.

[@ShowXTech]

With the (7000/)8000G CPUs and an ITX board with TB4 and 10G Lan you could build an awesome quiet, serviceable mini PC 🤩

[@JasonDrums24]

I think Ai npcs will be great in open world games. But the story important characters should be voice acted for real. Also Ai commentary in sport games would be a game changer to get rid of repeated lines that ruin the immersion

[@mellertid]

TV-stuff: I just thought of a thing; brightness capacity is probably important, Smell-O-Vision will remain a bit of a joke but! What could be done and really boost immersion is radiant heat. Sun, explosions, exiting a climate controlled car to hot climate. Rather simple IR-emitters could do it. Encoding would be lacking, but AI could probably work it out from frame analysis (maybe with some look-ahead to counter device lag). Room would need AC though...

[@zukacs]

Funny, but Most of the features Rabbit has, Google just discontinued in Google Assistant because people don't use them.

Linus's casual mention of "The Palace" brought up some old, long-buried memories. I was on CompuServe before that, spending most of my time in the RPG "portal." Think I moved over to the Palace when we went to AOL.

[@danielpope6498]

Nvidia Pulsar and that 360hz oled are basically just giving you the same experience a 120hz crt did back in the day. The crt inherently already has the strobing built in.

[@Cliffdog01]

1:11:16 Since for a long time these TVs are going to be out of reach for normal people do you think a Movie Theater (probably one of those smallish Dinner Theatres) will switch from using a Profector to using a Megascreen like your TCL (but probably even bigger). I think if they're the future they'd need to be more easily serviced like how your one has a dead pixel.

[@NuDimon]

Tbh at that scale you could get a technician to come in and solder a replacement part if it's not a substrate based assembly. Or just have replacement panels where a technician recalibrates the screen to compensate for any variance between the panels.

[@Shaojackify]

BG3 on integrated makes sense, it leverages the CPU a lot more than most games.

[@malaki7123]

Vis a vis the Rabbit AI thing, I love that out of all the futures predicted by the Mega Man series of video games, we're actually living in the Mega Man Battle Network timeline with the Internet of Things, cyber crime now affecting physical infrastructure, and AI assistants being everywhere.

[@firstlast-kk6bz]

Btw, it's not just the nits of brightness, but the color spectrum. And yeah, I know you know that it's not the full color spectrum, but with the sun especially you're forgetting that people can see varying degrees of ultraviolet light. Cameras definitely aren't capturing that and screen's definitely aren't reproducing it.

[@Exonaut315]

For the cheating display, in games like hunt showdown or tarkov, having it analyze for hidden enemies would be a big advantage. Couple that with audio analysis by having it listen to gun sounds, foot steps and such, you could probably have it display a fairly precise map of enemy movements in that type of games. I don't know how to detect something like this. Behavioral analysis may be able to detect if a player is acting on information that should not be available to them to that degree. But since all that comes from information technically available to the player that may be very difficult.

[@handlesarekindadumb]

@@PhilipPetkov I think this argument is weak, it takes the skill out of managing your information and making the connections, If a program just tells you "oh those footsteps you aren't sure about? They're coming from behind this wall, here's a circle on the wall where the sound is coming from", you are no longer making the connections through your skill and experience. If not everyone has access to the tool, nobody should have the tool because it creates an uneven playing field.

As an adult, I've noticed it takes my brain longer to comprehend what is happening around me compared to most other people. Because of this, I prefer turn based strategy games; faster paced games tend to require a certain level of reflexive speed to succeed, which I can't do very well. In a scenario where someone were to throw a ball at me, my brain would have just processed the fact that a ball is coming towards me by the time that ball has already hit me-- which is a real thing that has happened to me more than once. It affects everything I do, including video games, driving, and delivering a response in a conversation. I would also argue that in order to be precise in a game like air hockey, you need to be able to process information in the moment quickly enough that you can adapt to the situation and deliver a precise shot.

Wouldnt the reaction of the audience finding out about cool stuff like the hidden options with the service remote make companies know in an even more clear"er" way that thats something that they should be more focused on to improve upon rather than lock it out! Thoughts?

[@jace4817]

Several reasons makes stuff like this complicated. If a few dedicated people do it, little harm is done. But if people start to buy a cheaper model and "unlocking it" rather than buy the premium model, now they are losing money. And if mainstream people do it, they might ruin or break the product and now they blame the brand, which can hurt them long term. As well as there somewhere within the company there is a person who will get 0 credit/positive outcome if it goes well, but that might lose their job if it doesn't. That person has 100% insentive to lock it down and play it safe.

FYI OLEDs can still do backlight strobing, the difference between LCD and OLED backlight is that LCD has at most a few thousand backlights, where as OLED generally has one backlight per sub-pixel. Yea thats alot more complicated, but at least it is a monochrome that transitions to off at the same speed as opposed to an RGB-LED/RGB-OLED that might have different sub pixel transition types for the different colors Fun fact the reason most OLEDs use a monchrome backlight rather than true self emissive pixels where the pixel itself is responsible for the light and contrast without using a color filter/converter, is that different color LED/OLED tend to "burn in" at different rates. In other words, a true RGB-OLED/ RGB-LED screen might be super bright in blues 5 years after it was first turned on, but green might have completely faded away, so instead of seeing yellow a yellow submarine, its just red.

[@coolgirladrian]

(the comment is NOT in an angry tone. apologies if it seems as such! I just like talking about TF2 and Portal) Valve "cracking down" on fan projects is interesting; TF Source 2 deliberately took assets and gameplay from Team Fortress 2, *without* Valve's permission. GMod may be a clear defense for TF/S2, but you must note that GMod has a legal liscense to use assets from Source Engine. Alongside this, if you would wish to use assets from a game like Counter Strike: Source, you must OWN the game, then mount it to GMod, turning missing texture models into the actual CS:S models. TF/S2 had none of this. Portal 64 had no legal threat from Valve. Valve only advised the creator of Portal 64 that due to using Nintendo's repositories, Nintendo may pursue legal action. And everyone knows nobody can out-copyright Nintendo. That being said, I still think the backlash against Valve is justified. At the same time as the DMCA being notified to the public, the TF2 item servers went down for a bit under 2 days, making ALL TF2 servers (including community servers) force players into being completely stock only. No hats, no taunts, no weapons. Which while that's a really fun twist to the game (Hats, cosmetics, taunts are irrelevant to this--but not actually, since a lot of them are worth a TON) forcing players to play with stock classes, it's ridiculous that this game just hit an all-time-high this last summer and this is how Valve treats the game. Alongside this, the bot crisis is still running rampant. And if an intern just wheeled their chair in the TF2 room, it would be fixed in less than a week. But nooo.

When it comes to ai tools I think a hybrid approach is often best. An animator making the base animations and an ai I tweeking them in real time for when you start that animation from a position that wasn't made or accounted for.

Not entirely made by but polished and progressed by it.
