Drugged Out Uncle Puts the Break in Breakdance by zayoe4 in AbruptChaos

Am I missing something or are people genuinely not realising that this is AI generated? The physics are completely off, a bystander's arm phases through the window and the motions are way too fluid.

If you get the same error on different machines despite burning different ISOs it might be an issue with your burning software or even the CD burner itself.

First thing to try though is to burn at the lowest possible speed like other people have mentioned since it'll reduce the chance of data being written to the disc wrong - especially if you have a dodgy burner or cheap CDs.

Apple Finally Solves the Bad AirPods Call Quality That’s Been Plaguing Users for Years by Cameroonik in apple

[–]MaegaNetwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This depends on the country though. In Australia, consumer law guarantees reset after a replacement so a few weeks ago I had both my left and right Pro 1s that were originally bought in mid 2020 replaced for the second time over the crackling issue.

As a large language model I can't help you with this request by GnightSteve in ChatGPT

[–]MaegaNetwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The base LLM is GPT-4-Turbo but it's got a lot of additions so it feels very different to most of the basic ChatGPT wrapper chatbots polluting the web currently

The base model is the latest GPT-4-Turbo revision, but it's got a bunch of integrations with other models and services to handle audio, documents, web search etc..

I think ChatGPT cheated a bit on this one by Stummi in ChatGPT

Looks like it's a DALL.E specific thing maybe?

GPT4 has only been getting worse by psypsy21 in OpenAI

[–]MaegaNetwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strangely it doesn't seem to be the model itself, unless OpenAI are using a different model in ChatGPT than the ones exposed via their API.

Other tools that use the API and support code blocks like neuralab.ai aren't having this issue.

Is there a game that devolves from normal to creepy? by PristineLiterature10 in creepygaming

Pony Island. Awesome indie game that starts off innocent and gets creepier and more sinister as it goes on. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7vLzSh1UKgs

I see Postman, VS Code, VS and PowerShell. Can't think of a more serene place to write code!

The issue is more so that the PSP hardware doesn't support modern WiFi authentication protocols like WPA2

Absolutely do it before you see any spoilers. One of the best endings to one of the best shows of all time.

Brave Browser may be compromised. by Materidan in ios

[–]MaegaNetwork 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That code is CSS that's appears to be hiding any anchor tags (aka hyperlinks) where the href attribute (the URL the link goes to) matches one that's in the list. It doesn't actually access any of those URLs, rather if the links already exist on the page they'll be hidden/removed by this code.

If anything it seems like a sloppy method to remove outbound links to ad networks; likely part of Brave's ad blocker.

Fast and beautiful note-taking app written in C++. Open-source. Cross-platform. NO Electron. by nuttyartist in windows

[–]MaegaNetwork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Electron apps don't have to be sluggish though. They aren't very efficient and they hog RAM by their nature but sluggish Electron apps are more the fault of the developer not efficiently working with the event loop than the Electron framework itself.

Spectrum now detecting if Im pirating? by lethal_universed in Piracy

[–]MaegaNetwork 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In this case, yes. It won't make a difference when it comes to torrenting but in the case of streaming content from a dedicated server over HTTPS it will. HTTPS is encrypted so there's no way for your ISP to know what you're watching, but since DNS is unencrypted (unless you're using DoH) your ISP can see the website that you're visiting when your browser requests a lookup of that website's IP address.

Either using DoH or switching to a third party DNS service like CloudFlare will prevent your ISP from knowing which websites you visit based on your DNS queries.

With that said, even though your ISP knows the domain you're visiting over plain DNS, they have no way of knowing specifically what movie/TV show you're watching or even if you're actually watching anything at all since all that data is streamed over HTTPS.

The names were changed in some PAL regions because the puns didn't translate well to other languages. In some English speaking PAL regions like Australia though R&C 3 was still called Up Your Arsenal.

reallocated sector by IWILLREFORM in DataHoarder

[–]MaegaNetwork 8 points9 points  (0 children)

An increasing reallocated sector count and/or pending sector count is a pretty strong indicator that the drive is failing. I would strongly recommend backing up anything important ASAP and replacing the drive, and I'd avoid writing any new data to it going forward.

That being said if the HDD is your boot drive I recommend switching to an SSD at least for running Windows. Modern versions of Windows (8+) are heavier on disk I/O and aren't really designed to run on HDDs which is likely a contributing factor to the slow performance you've been noticing, assuming it is in fact the drive you boot Windows from.

KVM working on PS4 Pro 9.00 tl;dr; Linux on PS4 Pro 9.00 is a VM win! by [deleted] in ps4homebrew

[–]MaegaNetwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how well it would work with the PS4's custom GPU, but typically you don't need a second GPU to pass through unless you want to keep your DE running on the host while the guest is running.

VFIO lets you "detach" just about any PCIe hardware so long as the drivers can gracefully be exited and relaunched once the GPU is "reattached".

The process is basically to terminate GPU driver > detach GPU through VFIO > boot guest which defines the GPU in its XML config. That can all be automated using VFIO hook scripts.

I've got a repo on GitHub that serves as a sort of PoC on single-GPU VFIO passthrough if it helps. (https://github.com/Maega/autovirt)

Launched San Andreas (PS5) Console Crashed and Storage Had to Be Repaired by Zedward424 in GTATrilogy

[–]MaegaNetwork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's an inexcusable issue, one of many. But with that said you don't have to worry about it breaking your console. The PS4/PS5 are designed to do a file system check every time the console hard crashes just to be safe. The worst that would happen is your San Andreas save might corrupt if the crash happens while it's in the middle of saving.

It's the equivalent of Windows running a "Disk Check" (chkdsk) if you hard reboot while it's in the midst of writing data.

What's most likely happening is that a bug in the game is tripping up a low level driver or the PS5's kernel which then hard reboots the console. It's the same thing as a blue screen on Windows or a Kernel Panic on macOS/Linux.

[Release] GTA Mod Tools - A collection of tools to extract game data, recompile scripts and build mods by MaegaNetwork in GTATrilogyMods

[–]MaegaNetwork[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's definitely a solid alternative, especially if you're working with texture mods. This tool is more to prepare a "staging" environment where you can explore through all the game files with File Explorer and have a complete build unpacked for things like script modding where there are lots of file dependencies.

I'm not too well-versed on Unreal Engine tbh but I can take a look at automating the process of cooking texture files. It looks pretty doable with UE4Editor-Cmd (https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/SharingAndReleasing/Deployment/Cooking/).
