  • It's a pretty cool concept. Loved the art style and it has a few interesting puzzles. On par with Superliminal.

  • UK police blame Microsoft Copilot for intelligence mistake

  • As far as I can tell, the frog incident was not real-world. It was a police department vetting a system by doing fake test stops. They did one with Princess And The Frog playing in the back seat and the transcription system interleaved the traffic stop and film dialogue, then took that at face value for the summary.

    System still sucks, but at least they were testing before blindly relying on it.

  • A throwBACK as usual, I see.

  • World's Video Game Companies

    Jump

  • These are all public companies. Roblox is RBLX on the NYSE. It hit an all-time high of $141/share in September, and this infographic was probably produced then.

    It's now back down to $80/share, which is $56.8 billion in market cap.

  • The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is 100.00% decompiled

    Jump

  • This makes a port possible. You need to replace the graphics and system API calls to make a port to another platform and you need to pull in the assets.

  • What are the best/your favorite versions of classic Christmas tunes and why? Interested in both classical pieces, and vocal songs.

    Jump

  • My favorite version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is the version by The Quiggles which appears on the Nitronic Rush soundtrack.

  • 'The Expanse' at 10: The Outer Space Drama That Should Have Been as Big as ‘Game of Thrones’

    Jump

  • It's the same writers for the books and the show. While the two aren't identical, I found them to be equally good.

    I thought Amos was excellent. The only problem is that you never get to see things from his perspective, which is where he gets a lot more depth in the books.

  • What Youtube channel has maintained high quality standards over the years?

    Jump

  • Cross-instance linking is a mess. You linked to an ad for your mobile app, which links to a kbin instance, which links back to lemmy.world... The app page devotes most of its space to download links while kbin demands the viewer log in before it will show them anything.

    Technology Connections are great, but this doesn't feel very connected.

  • Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux

    Jump

  • It bothers me. There are too many things that are either not standards-complient or support different parts of the USB feature set that compatibility is a wildcard.

    I carry a large backup battery when I travel for work. It can keep my laptop going under load all day, allowing me to not care at all about proximity to outlets when working. It also allows me to painlessly recharge phones by just handing it to someone.

    Last week, I was running something from someone else's laptop (enterprise HP, like mine, but different model). It got low, so I pulled out my battery. Plug it in... No power. I could see the voltage fluctuations of it negotiating, but nothing after that.

  • Look at this nerd with his airline industry operating model jokes.

    Consumers greatly prefer the kernal-to-kernal operating model.

  • Earthsea is a fascinating read. The first book is 1960s groundbreaking fantasy that forms part of the root of all modern fantasy, but feels very old by modern standards. The series saw infrequent releases for decades, creating a window into how fantasy has matured.

  • Type-2 Diabetics of Lemmy: What were some of your symptoms that you only realized after your diagnosis were symptoms of diabetes?

    Jump

  • The only real impacts it has had are making me pay more attention to how I feel and more intentional about how I eat. I'm not going back for seconds just because they are there since I consciously decided that my initial portion was a good amount. I'm also not going a day without eating since it didn't cross my mind because I can see that little line slowly go down and it reminds me that food is good.

    Modern tech is amazing. The management of T1D has been reduced to a glance at my phone every once in a while and a couple keystrokes when I eat something.

    I was talking to someone recently who was diagnosed as a little kid and the stuff that they went through sounded awful. Their adult management of it is no better than mine is for having gone through that.

  • Fortnite chapter seven: Pacific Break adds self-revives and "self-build", as its art faces AI use allegations

    Jump

  • I think the culprit is a clock in the background. I grabbed some clocks off image search, collaged them, and halftoned them. The numbers are bad, entirely possible I grabbed an Al clock and wasn't paying attention.

    Stock and royalty-free image sources are getting so flooded with generated imagery that basically nothing will be 100% AI-free going forward.

  • Type-2 Diabetics of Lemmy: What were some of your symptoms that you only realized after your diagnosis were symptoms of diabetes?

    Jump

  • Sounds similar to the months before my T1 diagnosis at 27. More and more thirsty, less and less hungry. Water would fly through me too, making me suddenly have to pee not long after drinking.

  • Widespread Cloudflare outage blamed on mysterious traffic spike

    Jump

  • It was actually the system Cloudflare uses to catch and block bots that went haywire.

    They had a fake database you could query that would pull content from a bunch of different shard databases. They updated the config so that systems querying it could see the shards in addition to the main dummy DB. The tool that pulled data out of it assumed that it could only see the dummy, however, so it just asked for everything when it pulled a report to pass to the filtering system.

    The filtering system assumed the report it received would be properly formed and crashed if it got one that was malformed.
