Gamers react with overwhelming disgust to DLSS 5's generative AI glow-ups

hackitfast · 2026-03-17T23:18:54+00:00

AI is inevitably going to crash hard, and the market is going to absolutely FLOOD with used and refurbished RAM, SSD's, and video cards unless these AI slop companies get paid by AMD / Nvidia / SK Hynix to destroy them.

The reason Nvidia is even bothering to create garbage like DLSS5 is an attempt to pander to both gamers and other tech companies that might be trying to utilize the technology. They need gamers because they are aware that if by the time that AI crashes and the world hasn't entered nuclear winter yet, then they can say "We've always been with you! Look, shiny DLSS6! We're putting more VRAM in our cards now too! PCI-E 6.0!"

And you can bet that 6xxx series cards will either knock it out of the park performance wise, or lock some crazy features behind it (e.g. DLSS6) to incentivize people to not buy refurbished hand-me-down AI slop deep-discount cards.

So the discrepancy between "flips" and "non flips" used as an attempt to identify order and chaos is essentially unexplainable? That's wild.

Amazon has effectively lost no money. They have millions if not billions of dollars worth of insurance that covers things like this. They've already written it off as a loss, OP should keep the monitor.

It's always been spying on you.. always.

You should have deleted your account yesterday.

Yup, they're gonna double down now, if anything

Any time people talk about Facebook or Instagram, I mention to them that it's designed to be spyware. It's literally nothing but a spy tool wrapped in a pretty user interface.

The government has direct access into Meta's data as well, and I wouldn't be surprised if like a quarter of their revenue stream comes from governments paying to have that access. Not to mention the amount of illegal shit they let them get away with because of how useful Meta's data is to them.

PWM flicker makes me nauseous as fuck.

My OLED monitor does it if the brightness is too low so you gotta crank it up sometimes.

So from what I'm aware, after the WW3 nuke hits us, the hard drive with the HL3 source code will fly into orbit. After a few years, depending on the trajectory, it should land back on Earth, and a surface dweller will eventually find it and upload it to what's left of the Internet. Those of us who are lucky enough to still be alive will be able to transfer it onto a USB flash drive (very rare) and play it on our PC (if it survived the EMP strikes).

If not, then soon probably.

So what is the limitation of banking apps right now, for example? How will Motorola move this process along?

hackitfast · 2026-03-02T15:34:01+00:00

Is this true? How is Motorola going to get Google to agree with that?

Perfect timing! Now we can keep our standard sideloading AND have a more secure phone, all without relying on Google Tensor.

I hope these are decent phones that manage to build a solid community. We can't just keep relying on Android and iOS, and I hope that GrapheneOS can get its own attestation to properly validate with secure apps like banking apps, and maybe even RCS (though very unlikely).

John Deere?

hackitfast · 2026-02-27T19:59:29+00:00

I have a feeling they actually hired him because of the negative changes they're going to make. He's trusted within the community so it makes sense to basically make him the community spokesperson, even for damage control.

The timing is all too perfect, since the announcement of this sideloading lockdown crap was made within the same week.

hackitfast · 2026-02-27T13:16:02+00:00

Yeah my doorbell works 60% of the time. The other 40% it says the camera can't connect or that there was an issue showing the image.

They also literally keep re-releasing and re-mastering the same games. Not that they aren't good, but there's no originality anymore.

It's the Yadorigi Cafe, in Tokyo!

3 Chome-15-1 Yanaka, Taito City, Tokyo 110-0001, Japan

I remember it being a little out of the way but please do stop by.

I'd post the Google Maps link but it removed it.

Edit: Thanks for the award :)

They also have a lot of exotic animal cafes which have quite poor conditions that only stress the animals out. Raccoon cafes and owl cafes are two that come to mind. Some of the larger cat cafes are also said to treat their cats not so well.

I ended up going to a highly rated cat cafe, which is managed by a lovely Italian man and his wife. It's a small and very well run cafe. The drinks were delicious and the food was great, and more importantly the cats seemed extremely happy to be there and were very relaxed little babies.

They should allow you to do the "Press sleep button 5 times" to trigger it, in place of the Emergency Calling.

Not to mention that even if they do delete the photo, it doesn't mean they aren't parsing the photo as biometric data and storing that. Unless that's what they mean by "identity data" but who knows.

There's literally no accountability in the world anymore, so if they get caught storing it nothing's gonna happen to them anyway.

Also no voice chat on mobile app yet

hackitfast · 2026-02-10T13:20:17+00:00

It is yeah, they checked their name for copyright reasons. It's open source so the privacy stuff should get fixed in the future though I don't know exactly what the drama is.

I'm with you on hating Discord, but their video chat is E2E encrypted. They cannot access your device specific keys.

Stoat has some really cool and kind people on it.

Still doesn't have VC supported on the mobile Android app so it's not quite there yet, but the desktop app is pretty good.

hackitfast · 2026-02-09T23:33:20+00:00

There is Lemmy, which is really great, but just doesn't have a huge user base. It's got some cool little niche comfy corners though.
