  • Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy?

    Jump

  • This is called a nonce.

    Which as a Brit is a really bad name for anything used to access porn.

  • The Way Billionaires Are Using AI May Cause Concern They Have Actual Brain Damage

    Jump

  • They've always been this way.

    Clever at one particular thing, and rank average at everything else, bordering on stupid.

  • Happens everytime

    Jump

  • Fitted sheets are an abomination. They don't fit and they don't even fold nicely.

    Just buy a massive flat sheet and tuck that shit under. Egyptian cotton preferably.

  • Framework stops selling separate DDR5 RAM modules to fight scalpers

    Jump

  • That would be scalpees.

  • Someone At YouTube Needs Glasses: The Prophecy Has Been Fulfilled

    Jump

  • I went into Netflix recently to find the same thing. Hardly anything visible on screen, just a handful of massive buttons.

    You can see maybe two movies to the right of the main one, and the top half of the row below.

    I assume this is just to hide the fact that there's precious little worth watching on it.

  • Here's a list of the best retro handheld sales for Black Friday

    Jump

  • Yeah, seems powerful enough for anything pre-HDMI at least. If it's newer than that, I probably still have the actual hardware plugged in...

  • Just to be safe

    Jump

  • Also sounds non fatal, so not the kind of thing they worry about on packaging.

  • Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy?

    Jump

  • It can. Zero knowledge proofs have been around a while and are ideal for this.

    They'll try not to have that because data gathering is what they're after, not keeping little Timmy from seeing some tits.

  • Plex is now enforcing remote play restrictions on TVs

    Jump

  • I got around that by being a bad pirate. If I've watched it, chances are I'm nuking it in a few days from my download drive to make room for something else.

  • TIL the number of pedestrians killed by drivers in the U.S. rose by 70 percent between 2010 and 2023

    Jump

  • That number is sure to drop soon, as clankers run everyone over instead.

  • ELI5 What is the hate against socialism? I mean doesn't it mean a system where the people take care of themselves and neighbors?

    Jump

  • What you have to remember is that socialism means everyone paying their fair share, and some people don't want to do that.

  • 'Are you insane?': Billionaire CEO Jensen Huang blasts Nvidia managers who are 'telling their people to use less AI'

    Jump

  • That's a pretty low net worth considering Nvidia's market cap.

    I assumed he could afford to start Jurassic Park for real by now, purely to skin a T-rex for his jacket collection.

  • Steam Deck LCD 256GB model on sale until December 1st!

    Jump

  • I saw the Legion Go S for £399 at Costco as well, with 4 times the space. Is there any downside to that one over the Steam Deck? I think it's marginally better performance and a slightly bigger screen, but is the compatibility as good?

  • Average westoid logic. May your troops burn in hell 🔥

    Jump

  • An entire PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory, even after a discount — simple memory kit jumps to $600 due to DRAM shortage, and it's expected to get worse into 2026

    Jump

  • A PS5 currently costs less than £300. I can't even get 32GB of RAM for that, let alone a GPU or any of the other parts.

    PC gaming is dead for now. The only affordable way is Steam Decks and similar.

  • Happy DB Cooper Day to those who celebrate!

    Jump

  • Dems eye new way to shake up 2028 primaries: ranked-choice voting

    Jump

  • The problem with the two party system, is the only thing they'll always agree on is that it should remain a two party system.

    We had the same issue in the UK. We had the choice of something else and it was dismissed as "too complicated" and "too expensive".

    So instead most of us have their votes thrown out locally, and then most of the rest have them thrown out nationally.

  • The median price of best-selling new games on Steam has dropped in the past 2 years, research finds: "Charging >$25 is getting trickier, as players compare value to the $10-$15 indie titles"

    Jump

  • I've got to be honest, the price of a game is probably the least important factor on whether I make a full price purchase.

    I'm not going to rush out and buy something I've no real interest in. I can count on one hand the number I've made this generation. On PS2 I'd be grabbing something every week or two, but now I just can't get excited for the latest and greatest updates on old formulas. Half the time I buy just to encourage them to make more games like that, like I did with Talos Principle 2, Astro Bot and Split Fiction.

    I might pick it up later if I feel inclined, or see it on a decent discount. Like Clair Obscur, that I picked up for £29 in a sale just because I remembered it existed and fancied something to play over the winter holiday.

  • Valve confirms Steam Machine will be priced ‘like a PC with the same level of performance’

    Jump

  • A good APU solution like in the consoles would be a nice option though. Especially now with RAM prices through the roof again.
