But once it’s recompiled it runs so smooth.

Between season 18 and 19 was when the movie came out it IMDb’s dates are correct.

I think they’re just saying that if you’re a multi billionaire and get a 50% net worth fine, you’re still a billionaire once it’s done.

So this makes Amazon, Microsoft and Google jumping on board the nuclear energy train. Meta would have to be the next domino surely?

I can see where you got watch from looking at the picture as a thumbnail rather than a full image!

Probably had leftover screens after they stopped making the 3DS and wanted to use them for something.

That’s basically what I got out of it as well. They’re not trying to give the police access to our devices, they’re trying to get the police to become users of Apple tech themselves.

For most of my internal services that are sitting behind Traefik I use step-ca which basically gives you a Let’s Encrypt style certificate while working over the local network. The root CA has a long expiry (so might not be what you want if your goal Is a short lived root CA) but the actual certificates for each service are short lived (a touch over 24 hours from memory?)

Capitalism?

I saw a similar comment in the last week or so (might have been on TikTok?) but it was specifically Japanese court that they’d said they’d never lost in. I don’t know if it’s accurate though, took it at face value and didn’t really think much about it.

I figure brand new major features would be slower in coming. But security would be improved.

I feel there’s going to be an element of “old man yells at cloud” here, but that isn’t inherently a bad thing. I just use Windows at work at the moment but there’s very little I do in Windows that I couldn’t do as far back as Windows XP as long as driver support kept up. I don’t use it for the OS, the OS just enables me to use the applications I need.

Same with MacOS. I know Apple always act like every minor enhancement is the greatest thing ever (look, we added Tabs to Finder 🤩), but ultimately the OS is there to act as the pathway between my applications and my hardware.

If the focus switched from features to security, would we really lose anything of value? At a minimum I wouldn’t have family contacting me cause their PC looks different than it did previously (looking at you centralised Windows taskbar 👀).

I assume the extra padding was a function of touch screens becoming more prevalent since trying to hit the 2003 style buttons with a finger was not that easy, although I don’t remember offhand when touch first started becoming a thing in Windows so it might have happened the other way around. But either way it’s likely still a factor in why the ribbon with its extra padding has stuck around.

They do, they’re probably just hoping the advertisers don’t and keep paying for more ad space.

We had a system at work that generated 4 character alphanumeric reference numbers. Originally to avoid this they just excluded vowels from the letters but eventually they grew enough they ran out of available reference numbers so they added the vowels back in and I had to built the blacklist to avoid stuff like this happening. I reckon I probably tripped every IT filter known to man in a week long period looking for swear words in a variety of languages 😂

The part where people share asterisks when they talk about their passwords? Just seems like good security honestly 😂 Glad Lemmy is keeping up with this pinnacle of security best practices.

Games that have already been classified prior to September 22nd aren’t affected by this unless they need to go through classification again, however I’m going to laugh if Pokemon Red & Blue are rereleased on the Switch 2 at some point in the future and get slapped with an R18+ rating 😂

I’d argue there’s enough difference there to flag them separately. The original number two is more about personal responsibility; choose a different retailer, go to a different place, etc. Voting with your wallet so to speak.

Government regulation, while it’s still about people pushing back against companies, with the state of most western governments at the moment you can’t assume they will automatically have the public’s back. So there’s a tie in to the personal responsibility aspect by electing representatives who represent your interests, but given that’s not always feasible (either because not enough people share that view to get someone elected or because there isn’t a suitable candidate available to support) I would argue it’s distinct enough to warrant its own category.

Regulations and anti trust laws would both fall under a government intervention category though I think.

Be the change you want to see in the world! Spank, and be spanked in return.

I’m more taking issue with this quote from the article:

“Researchers behind the project say similar AI models could be used to create games from scratch in the future, just as they create text and images today.”

This doesn’t strike me as something that can create a game from scratch, it’s something that can take an existing game and replicate it without having access to the underlying source code, and use an immense amount of processing power to do it.

Since it seems they’re using generative AI based technology underneath it, they’re effectively building a Doom model. You might be able to spin a Doom clone off from that but I don’t see it as something you could practically throw another game type at.

That being said as I said in a different reply, I was viewing it through the lens of something more product based rather than that of a research project. As a field of research, it’s an interesting topic. But I’m not sure how you connect it to “create games from scratch” if you don’t already have an existing game available to train the model on.

That’s a fair point actually, I’m looking at it through a product lens, not a research one.
