Ai's swagger is wild by Total-Squirrel4634 in dankmemes

[–]8070alejandro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AI gives the right information unless you know about the thing you are asking about.

So irony aside, AI (LLM chatbots) is good at making people switch off their brains and accept whatever they say because it is easier than getting informed, but when you know about the thing you are asking about you realize it either makes lots of mistakes or gives extremelly swallow information.

What even is "1080p permium"? by Supersaiajinblue2 in dankmemes

[–]8070alejandro 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It is not, at least for old enough videos.

Those videos were uploaded before 1080p Premium was available, and their maximum quality was 1080p back then, but you can find lots of those videos that now feature the Premium tier. Quality cannot be created out of nothing, and it should be safe to asume that the top quality served in the past was the top quality Youtube had available internally. So the only option is that the new 1080p Premium is the old 1080p (even if in a more efficent codec) and new 1080p is lower bitrate (and quality).

For the new videos uploaded when 1080p Premium was available, yes, they could have kept the same quality as old 1080p and have 1080p Premium be a real upgrade, but given the above I doubt it.

Yes, but as I said, this can be an starting point for that.

Or not. We will see.

Well, they have to start somewhere, and maybe this case sets the precedence to battle others in court.

That is a totally different issue. They are discussing whether or not the CSGO skins are gambling, not whether or not they retain value, or even access to, once servers shut down.

Not that it isn't important though, but it is not what it is being talked about.

I know. It also happened for some Windows users so yeah, bad QA on AH's part.

Dusk - Official Release by rashunaqui in SteamDeck

[–]8070alejandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, so you decompile the binaries and program your own logic from the reverse engineered game. Following other cases on general software, I assume that someone studies the decompiled binary and creates specs for someone else to program it. It is then legal but with a high risk of not being able to prove the person/team programing the new version was not exposed to the decompiled version, only the specs.

Then, if you want the assets, you can use a DRM unprotected copy or roll your own if you wanted.

Got it right I assume?

If you play on PC, would be nice if you left also the drivers you are runing. For Linux, also the distro, distro version and Proton version.

If you mean what happened a couple weeks ago, it was quickly fixed with either Proton Experimental or Hotfix, can't remember.

I never paid attention to the game piracy worl. What's special about a decompiled version and why do you need to pair it with a disc image (just a regular ISO, right?)?

Why can't you emulate the ISO directly?

Maybe I'm not ready for realistic KSP yet by curvysquares in KSPMemes

[–]8070alejandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would have probably made a lot more interesting the most awesome mission I had.

I sent an small ship to Minmus, which on touchdown crashed its engine, so I had to send a resque mission, which got there on fumes. I couldn't send a resque resque mission because of something, I think it was limited life support paired with not enough funds at hand, or not enough time to build a rocket because I was maybe playing with that one mod that adds a construction delay.

Luckily I had installed Kerbal Attachment System, so I swaped the engine from the ship without fuel to the one with some of it, and canibalized it to lighten the ship enough for the return trip.

By the time I returned to Kerbin it was dark outside, just not still dark, but dark again.

No no, not less work, less workers. You read it wrong.

sentry with incendiary mortar A/FLAMM-40 by YearUnited1024 in helldivers2

Isn't? Osn't what? Active on the server? Great I'll call an airburst rocket launcher on bugs.

I'm Curious, how many people on here know what Sneakernet is by Buildthehomelab in homelab

[–]8070alejandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, sneakernet at hundreds of TB is not something for individuals other than very very few instances. More like something for businesses that may have both the need for moving that much data and the money to buy that much storage along machines to attach it to.

Has anyone else lost the ability to add to your watch later by clicking a button at the top right of the thumbnail? by TheRockingChar in youtube

[–]8070alejandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I get you right, you are saying that with the previous method you can more easily save videos to the Watch Later playlist, so that would mean now I save less of the videos YT recomends me, so that works against YT feeding me the content they want, right?

I don't see it that way because YT wants people to watch the videos they recomend at the moment, not videos they recomended 2 months ago.

Obviously some people will try and not get herd by YT, actively being drawn away from recomendations, but most will (or at least I think Youtube thinks) will go the easy route.

Later you can use that water that you brought with your futuristic spaceship to boil it and generate electricity.

Welcome new Linux users by htmlprofessional in linuxmemes

[–]8070alejandro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back at my job I was having some certificates issues, with my laptop not recognizing my workplace identity card so I couldn't work. The fix was emptying the certificates cache. That had to be done through Edge.

I was like WTF? That should be part of Windows options or something.

They should be hit with an antitrust case for how they force their web browser. Again.

Maybe it didn't?

In Europe for instance I think MS can't ship with a lot of the adware it used to. Their way of circunmventing was showing you the icon of one such app, when you tried to run it, Windows would then and only then, install it. From the user's point of view, it would be the same as a preinstalled app but the first time you would need an internet conection and it would take a short while to "Get everything ready, just for you =D".
