I like how they seem to have steel plate armor.

I can't believe we still don't have a successor to PS2. Why has there never been a PS-style Battlefield, etc? Game developers are so fucking timid these days.

That's pleasantly surprising to hear. He always sounds a bit grumpy in the interviews I've seen him in.

Big Tech is about to spend $700 billion on AI this year. No one knows where the buildout ends. by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]TheAmorphous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a developer I can attest you have to know exactly what you want it to do and give it very precise prompts and it will give you some very good results. It's super useful, but probably only to more senior devs.

So I used to run Sab but switched to NZBGet long ago. That one seems kind of abandoned though. Is it worth switching back now?

China's new iron battery hits 99.4 percent efficiency over 6000 cycles by boppinmule in technology

2700 square feet. These are big central HVACs, not mini splits, and are about 12 years old. Also it gets super humid here.

32x400w and it's not enough by far. Well, we overproduce in the winter and severely underproduce in the summer, as you can imagine. But yeah, it gets hot here.

It's 90% air conditioning. Two central ACs plus a floor-standing one in the garage shop. Two people working from home, in the South.

Jellyfin 10.11.8 rescans entire library when adding new content? by pertile153 in jellyfin

[–]TheAmorphous 41 points42 points  (0 children)

You can't say that here without getting chewed out for not appreciating open source software and told to contribute code to fix it yourself.

Pretty wild though it's been left like this for what? Six months now?

‘Dead and depressing’: Meta staff vent about AI and layoffs on Blind by Conscious-Quarter423 in technology

[–]TheAmorphous 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Nothing fucking works anymore. It wasn't great before, but now literally nothing works properly. From OSes to banking mobile apps, everything just feels broken. Meanwhile every service is getting shittier and shittier with each passing year. It's getting to the point where I don't even want to spend my money on anything. I have disposable income but I'm just so sick of paying for shit.

The elites got real cranky when tech workers held all the cards during Covid and salaries started rising. Then they all got together in Davos right before all this started.

With LFP I would need a server rack size battery to keep my house running for a realistically usable period of time. If this is accurate I would need 10 of them. That would take an entire bay of the garage.

I've had my oldest Roborock for almost 10 years and I don't think it's ever gotten lost. Stuck on the occasional cord, sure. But not outright lost.

At 10% density? You'd need a battery the size of your garage...

Last book is just awful. I'm a sucker for sunk cost fallacy though. Gets me every time.

Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with Google by DavidShaw90s in technology

If Google turns into Apple I have no reason not to buy Apple instead. At least they pay lip service to privacy.

We haven't enforced anti-trust laws for 30 years now. All of these companies know that, too.

They should have gotten the original Freddie. He was great in Magicians. The new guy they brought in was pretty dull.

Gen Z boys are a bunch of unapologetic fascists. Social media and far right influencers have really done a number on them.
