  • "We have a strong will to continue it in the future": After Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, Hidetaka Miyazaki Wants a New Installment for One of His Oldest Franchises

    Jump

  • Awh. As someone who played King's Field through emulation, with "cheats" to give it modern controls, I loved Lunacid! I actually beat it 100% by following a guide online.

    What did you not find to your liking, if you don't mind me asking? :)

  • I also went and installed Debian on it because I knew it was no longer supported by MacOS. I know I could've tried the OpenCore and I did at one point, but it wasn't very stable and still ate through the battery. :/

  • I've realized, thanks to tal, that I was under the wrong impression and had thought the CPU was just too power hungry. Maybe it is, but it has always had not so good battery life unfortunately.

    I have bitten the bullet, and upgraded to a newer laptop. The battery actually lasts multiple days of youtube, plex, and anything else like games I throw at it. I just wanted a laptop I didn't have to worry about charging unless I got a few uses out of it first! I will always miss the glowing apple on the back of the lid though. That was some good times. :')

  • Wow. Thank you so much for this post! I always thought I was flipping crazy, but it actually makes sense now!

    As an aside, I just went ahead and bit the bullet and got a new laptop as I was under the impression the CPU was very power hungry, and that no matter what upgrades I gave it, it would never be "efficient" enough for me to use for what I need a laptop for, which is battery life.

    Thank you for helping me understand the issue was always there, and that I should've definitely researched more before I bought these upgrades!

  • I see I didn't mention that, but it also had a Samsung SSD that I put into it when I upgraded my desktop with a bigger SSD. :(

  • I read about this from people like you, but I did NOT have the same experience.

    I recently upgraded a 2011 Pro Macbook with new RAM, and a new battery. I am furious at myself for even wasting the money to do that in the first place.

    The battery, even when brand new from iFixit, barely lasted an hour or two on Youtube while I am at work. Two videos around 15-20 minutes, medium brightness, 720p, and the damn thing barely lasted those two videos. God forbid I want to use it for anything after those!

    I'm assuming it was because the CPU is way way power hungry, which is okay, but DEFINITELY not usable in real situations. My main point is that my side of this situation was not at all good, and to not waste your money!

  • DeviantArt’s Downfall Is Devastating, Depressing, and Dumb

    Jump

  • How was it? What was your use-case for it? The software/theme part of the website started to get drowned out by furry stuff, and the occasional live nude models or just scantily dressed models, which is fine but not what I went there for.

  • DeviantArt’s Downfall Is Devastating, Depressing, and Dumb

    Jump

  • Ah, man. I remember when I went to this site to get themes for windows cursor, windows themes, and even skins for some of the programs I liked at the time. They went downhill quite some time ago, maybe around 2014 or 2015, as I stopped using that site as much because of the increase in pornographic stuff that showed on the front page. It will be missed though, either way.

  • Fallout 4 mods are broken again following update

    Jump

  • Definitely not, no. It was a high quality product to begin with, so mods weren't as needed/wanted.

  • Fallout 4 mods are broken again following update

    Jump

  • I'm glad you can play Fallout 4 without mods. I really just use mods that make the experience better than vanilla such as:

    The AWFUL dialogue options they did for Fallout 4The bad voice acting for my characterThe lack of options for character creationThe lack of diversity between characters and the armor/guns they use And any cool clothing/armor/weapon mods I would like to use or add to my companionsOH and changes to the AI for the companions and enemies to make them just a wee bit better than just standing there in the open like a fool

    The Witcher 3 has had plenty of very good mods, though. And modding is so important to people that CDPR is releasing a whole ass modding kit, so...

  • iPhone owners say the latest iOS update is resurfacing deleted nudes

    Jump

  • Right, right. I understand that. I was just explaining why the option is good for people like me. I don't take nudes, and I don't receive nudes, so I don't mind if the data is still there or not. I'm just glad the photo of me and my friend was still there when I noticed it was missing from my album after a recent meme deletion spree. lol

  • Fallout 4 mods are broken again following update

    Jump

  • Without mods, Bethesda's games would not have been so consistently played since:

    2011 for Skyrim's FIRST release2014 for Fallout 4's FIRST release

    Saying that mods aren't important, is actually kind of weird. Without those mods keeping the games afloat through the internet ether, they would not be AS popular as they are today.

    People STILL play Fallout 3 and New Vegas TO THIS DAY, because of mods that LITERALLY allow the game to be played as crash free as possible.

    From that context, I would assume mods are pretty damn important for these games.

  • It's to prevent you from accidentally deleting a photo you would never want to delete. If you want to make sure it's deleted, you just go into the Photos app and delete it from the Recently Deleted folder. I prefer this approach, as I have accidentally deleted a photo that I did not mean to, and luckily it was still there. Use cases are different though, so.

  • So, the whole point of learning is to ask questions from people who know more than you, so that you can gain the knowledge you need to succeed…

    So… if you try to use these LLMs to replace parts of sectors, where there need to be people that can work their way to the next tier as they learn more and get better at their respective sectors, you do realize that eventually there will no longer be people that can move up their respective tier/position, because people like you said “Fuck ‘em, all in on this stupid LLM bullshit!” So now there are no more doctors, or real programmers, because people like you thought it would just be the GREATEST idea to replace humans with fucking LLMs.

    You do see that, right?

    Calling people fucking stupid, because they are learning, is actually pretty fucking stupid.

  • Siri for iOS 18 to gain massive AI upgrade via Apple's Ajax LLM

    Jump

  • Yes. That is turned on for me, or else it wouldn’t have answered in the first place.

    The issue is that instead of looking at either the integrated weather app, or the CARROT weather app that I mainly use, it wants to try and look it up on safari.

    The biggest issue about Siri for me has always been that it is inconsistent as fuck about they way you ask it things.

    I swear. One moment, “Play my radio station” works, and the next day it says, “I’m sorry. I can’t do that right now. “ or the weather request earlier.

    Jump

  • Finally. It has been, for the last ten years, almost exclusively useless.

    “Hey Siri, what is the weather like right now?”

    “I’m sorry. You’ll have to unlock your phone for that. “ it says from across the room, as I’m looking at what clothes I should wear for whatever weather it is.

    “You are such a fucking waste of electricity. I don’t even know why I keep trying to use you.”

    “I’m sorry. I won’t respond to that. “

    “You never do anyway, so no change there!”

  • I use a VPN at all times, because I want to, and I have now learned to not Google anything as it takes me to these CAPTCHAs that I refuse to do. Bing may be crappy too, but at least it doesn't block me from a simple search. There is no reason, in my opinion, to block a VPN from SEARCHING something. Disgusting.

  • I guess for me, it being closed-source and the fact that the Bitwarden password manager and now Bitwarden authenticator are open source. Truthfully, I just see how they handled the desktop version of their Authy software, giving no fucks if consumers wanted it or not, being a big red flag of what could come after. Having used Bitwarden for years now, and giving them $10 a year, makes me more biased and inclined to use their other software, since they've never let me down. :)
