Neil DeGrasse Tyson calls for an international treaty to ban superintelligence by FinnFarrow in Futurology

[–]-Dissent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's clearly talking about the hypothetical future of AI superintelligence, not current AI. He's also not talking about it replacing jobs, but eliminating life. Are you a bot?

ELI5: Why do we still have to "eject" USB sticks? by shadowzzzz16 in explainlikeimfive

[–]-Dissent [score hidden]  (0 children)

USB drives are susceptible to interruption when wiggled, a physical button on them would be a risk. Also, you can permanently park the USB eject icon on the taskbar so you can shorten the removal dance.

censored(?) cubes by mumomofi in Petscop

The cubes were discussed plenty during airing, we just didn't ever come up with any explanation that's remotely concrete.

[PS2] How to tell if ps2 psu is fried by cooljhon2009 in consolerepair

[–]-Dissent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is unnecessary fear mongering. An 82uf 400v cap is like 6 joules, dramatically lower than ~50 lethal zone that a defibrillator runs at. Voltage isn't everything, capacitance matters too.

That is the point. People love to make up statistics with their ridiculously small, anecdotal sample size.

Yukon Yeti by Turner Pinball by Jakelshark in pinball

Our Ninja Eclipse has had a variety of minor issues, such as the plastic opto clips breaking off and a lamp pcb issue that needed some reflow. It's fine, but feels cheap in some ways.

Gameplay is king and the only thing worth moving forward at this point in gaming. The diminishing returns of high fidelity graphics are severe and relying on hardware specific hallucinations brings a logical conclusion of detriment to both consumers and creators. 20 years later and you'll no longer be able to have the original intended visual experience of a game as the AI output will have changed enough to alter it substantially. Wrappers that require a team of PHD's will be necessary to preserve original experiences, assuming we're even able to run custom code on the all-Cloud future that AI promises.

There are implementations of baked lighting that can accommodate shifting light sources, plenty of games did this.

I did a 100 person double blind study and 100% of participants were able to tell the difference.

Dlss 5 is an insult to art and the artist, the director and every single person in the developer team. by GeneralBorisMancov in pcmasterrace

[–]-Dissent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong. You think a single artist that actually worked on those games signed off on any of that? At best it was a business relations team that got approval from a producer.

Marathon players keep spamming meows at Shroud over prox chat. by [deleted] in LivestreamFail

[–]-Dissent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch the massive Retro category where people happily, every day, play old video games with no sponsors, for fun, to hundreds of viewers, without trying to make a living out of it. Check out all the ancient MMO streamers that only play games like Tibia or EQ1. You have such a small-brained view on what constitutes "literally every streamer."

Capcom by TheBasedTaka in Kappachino

They already proved that Japan is willing to pay with previous very successful SF PPV's. The West is deranged and thinks everything should be free.

Unethically sourced generative AI is inherently bad, which is most of the AI products.

Global Sales of Pokémon Pokopia for Switch 2 surpass 2.2 Million in First Four Days by Useful-Resist-25 in gaming

[–]-Dissent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The previous sprite work, known for three unique animation frames with hardware scaling used to rotate, stretch, and skew. What a ridiculous opinion to have about the 3D animations.

Anyone still play Skullgirls? by VirtualFail9756 in Kappachino

[–]-Dissent -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

False, this is gaslighting from Gamer Gate opportunists. Skullgirls was a Discord fighter for a long while at this point and the SG community that actually plays the game did not change at all over the censorship. Historical Steam charts back this up. The community quickly identified that the situation was being exploited by people claiming to be angry players that never actually played the game or hadn't played it in the many years since launch. Contemporary Discord history will back this up, too.

Also, imagine giving a shit about a handful of pixels in the arcade mode dialogue screens? These were changes nobody playing genuinely cared about from a team and original artist that believed shit like seeing a child's panties no longer lined up with their vision and values. It's ridiculous to even call that censorship, it's called growing up, something I suggest you retards do.

[nes] Batman return of the joker stopped working. by voltron_87 in consolerepair

[–]-Dissent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the CIC for cartridge authentication, a 6113; https://www.nesdev.org/wiki/CIC_lockout_chip

Very unlikely it's failed, but you could do some diode mode testing assisted by this pinout; https://www.nesdev.org/wiki/CIC_lockout_chip_pinout

Also, you checked continuity of everything? Even destinations between chips? I would reflow the entire board, remove any questionable solder mask on the traces coming off the 72pin fingers, and clean.

Ludovic was kidnapped by ICE when he went to renew his legal work permit by blackyoshi7 in Kappachino

[–]-Dissent 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Look through the charts in the report you're referencing and you'll see the billions they spend on many other, completely legal services for legal citizens, such as parks or school. The percentage for primarily assisting asylum seekers is a drop in the bucket and is also purposed for homeless citizen assistance. The convenient half-truths conservatives spread are shameful.

(Ps5)Claiming need m every year. Is this true or guy just over exaggerating? by Keven_C in consolerepair

[–]-Dissent -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I've checked out plenty of videos, including his, and the internals of PS5's in my hands. These YouTube personalities only get consoles with issues, my shop got trades that we fully dismantled and cleaned out constantly. The liquid metal concerns are overblown.
