The game is pretty fun, but currently limited to a small play area. Which is fine for what it is marketed as. But it would be nice if it could scale up. And maybe add some humanoids that walk around and interact with the created landscape. It’s not really a game, it’s more like real time...

What is the consensus? Is Tencent a good thing?

Study finds that Linux computers with open ssh port with no root password and Apache homepage that says hack me please are vulnerable. Thus proving how unsafe Linux is. This is like one of those news stories that says thieves can steal your car using just a comb, so long as they have the keys to...

is there a technical reason people don’t use the online account, or just out of principle? I can’t imagine how licenses I have tied to my account, it’s gotta be hundreds. Especially with massgrave. Doesn’t seem to be an issue.

It’s kind of nice working at a large American semiconductor company that nobody ever thinks of. We just sick back, take it easy, and let the wafers sell themselves. 😎

Can replace them with MiniDisc Data. Still get that satisfying click when inserting and removing. They actually did have something similar that was popular in industrial…can’t remember the exact name. Was small magneto optical disc…MO Drives we called them on the old computers. Pretty cool.

Hopefully laptop manufacturers will keep the same size batteries to give longer run times and not decide that customers are used to 10 hours, so that means they can reduce the size of the battery and save a couple dollars.

I bought an intel video card for video encoding. It was very goood at it and was very power efficient. There were some driver issues issues that were annoying. I put a nVidia 1650 in there and zero driver problems. I moved on with the experimentation. I got an Apple Mac Mini with M2 and the...

I’ve been pretty happy with the concept that all data on an iPhone is secured since the data must go through multiple controlled interfaces.

AMD brought it upon themselves. Intel has shown repeatedly that there is no need to change what you are doing. If you’ve been doing the same thing for 10 years, just keep doing it. Especially in the world of computer processing. 😏

corporate greed is the only reason you can think of why not having removable storage might be a purposeful design?

We can’t allow people to watch their local teams on TV, so therefore we MUST make everyone else who is less likely to be interested in the team pay for it. 😂

it’s not often that unlimited funds are spent for the entertainment of the citizens. Enjoy it while you can. It might not happen again in your lifetime. https://youtu.be/8Bx79bq7ukY

I’ve still got a couple Microsoft mouse’s from the early 2000’s that just refuse to die. The longest running items still in active usage for me.

I don’t think it’s particularly anything indicative of the magazine itself, just like I don’t hold a lot of stock in the claims of “XYZ TV show lost XX% of its viewers in the last year” being a significant indication of the TV show (when measured as cable/ota viewers). Things are changing...

So far the only significant product I’ve seen from A.I. is making YouTube videos more interesting by being able to add new background artwork or short videos over what would otherwise be recycled stock photos. The fake ads on YouTube aren’t impressing me though. Channels like The Why Files have...

For some reason this thread just gave me a flashback to mail in rebates on lots of Frys Electronics purchases, back like 10-15 years ago. Forgot all about mail in rebates.

Had to read kind of far into the article to find out what the underlying issue was. The issue with Craig Wright claiming to be the inventor of Bitcoin is that he was using that claim as the basis for lawsuits against other companies to extort money. Obviously that is a problem. Somebody randomly...

That’s really impressive. When I was getting into building computers in the late 90’s, we are now at a process mode that is 1/100th what it was 25 years ago. Here’s to another 25 years.

Was going through my apps on my phone recently and saw Redbox and was a little shocked I forgot about it. I also used it mostly for ripping as well. But other methods exceeded it. The movie part wasn’t really ever an issue, but I did try to buy used games from the kiosks several times and that...

One government agency provided proof that another government agency needs more money and resources. Sounds great 👍 just take my money already 💸💸

They should move their headquarters to Ukraine. It’s not very far, and Ukraine doesn’t have elections either, but America is ok with it there.

With how big games are getting (100GB+), I could see consoles using built-in storage merely as temp space and you have to download or stream the game from a server. And of course that would be a subscription.

It definitely takes a real job to afford all the storage space for pirated content.

Our species does seem to have a really good track record of finding innovative ways to get rid of jobs, yet requiring more to be created as a result. We’ve been innovating people’s jobs out of existence for thousands of years. Yet we still all have jobs. Maybe this time will be different.

I recently bought The Abyss and True Lies on 4K disc. I don’t know if I will even open them. I downloaded a copy from torrents so I could use as I wanted. Mostly just wanted to support the artist. No regrets.

Maybe it’s a usage case thing. Both my M1 MacBook Air and M2 Mini have 8GB of RAM. Has never once been an issue for me. RAM is designed to negate the effects of slow storage. Get fast enough storage and that need becomes less evident.

This is good news. We’ve had some brainstorming sessions at work lately about how we could manufacture in the future using A.I. generated pictures of dogs wearing hats while playing basketball. We have some solid leads so far.

I dug a mass grave and the license keys just magically dev right out of it.

I'd venture to guess that had AMD not invented AMD64 at the moment in time that it did, Intel was probably getting ready to revoke it's x86 license from AMD.

Been messing with this for a week. Apple Music on Windows is garbage at worst and pre-release beta at best. The Windows version is *only* the main window part of the app. So any feature that would require a different location other than the main program is missing. For example turning on Column...

Wondering if I did good by buying a 4TB for $230 recently. Maybe they will come up with something new like a Moobibyte to allow for shrinkflation…less NAND, same great price.

Ready your PhysX Cards boys, we ride again!

USB-C negotiates the connection. If the device and charger are capable of agreeing on a different voltage and current rating than the baseline USB standard, then they will take advantage of better power delivery possible with USB-C. But if either side can’t say what it is capable of then you...

We just got the iPhone 15's and when trying to sync the phone, iTunes said we could no longer use iTunes and would need to use the newer programs to access iPhone 15's. I have been using iTunes on Windows to share my music and movies out to other computers and Apple TV's on the home network. I...

So in 4 years when they come off server lease, they should be very reasonable price 😎👍 I’m currently upgrading to 12TB SAS drives at $100 each. Those should hold me over.

If you owned a store, how much would you keep after the sale of products made by other companies? Would you keep any of the sale price? Just enough to cover operating costs? Or would you profit? You can’t sell anything if you don’t have a distribution channel. Epic is free to build its own...

The iPhone nor iCloud were hacked for the Fappening. The users were hacked and passwords were collected. But if people were selective in how they discussed it, it gave the perception that Apple products had been compromised. And THAT was the story many wanted. We just had to see a soccer players...

Intel is making chips that are space heaters. Rambus is in the news. I feel 20 years younger. Any moment now AMD should announce the ability to run 128 bit programs on 64 bit CPU’s.
