- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 6 days ago:
This is reminding me of how Ars Technica recently metaphorically stepped in it in regards to AI BS in a story less than a month ago. What an information nightmare we’re wading into
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 6 days ago:
Windows Central? They’re not affiliated with MS, unless they also don’t like the nickname.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 6 days ago:
Quick resume is pretty much the only thing about the Series X that has stood out for me. It’s nice being able to hop into multiple games without waiting for loads and being right back where you left off. It’s by no means a must have though. It’s way better than the PS5’s equivalent.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 6 days ago:
Windows central is reporting that the windows 12 rumor is bs. I think they went so far as to call it an AI slop fabricated story.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 6 days ago:
Yeah, I’m hoping they don’t wall that stuff off from the general PC space for business reasons.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 6 days ago:
Their emulation work is one of the few bright spots of the Xbox platform on the past decade. Things like FPS boost and Auto HDR are nice for improving older games. I’m not sure if any third party emulators can do the same, admittedly.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 6 days ago:
The PC cannot currently play non-ported Xbox games at this time, though. I get why you’re saying “just a PC” but that’s a distinction worth noting. I hope the PC platform in general will gain the ability to play all Xbox games and not just Xbox branded hardware. I also hope PCs gain the ability to use some of the features that are nice about Xbox (mainly Quick Resume).

Yeah I trust Windows Central more than whatever this site is.

YSK that apparently you can post whatever the fuck you want to this community
- Comment on YSK: There are hundreds of monuments around the world to people who abetted or took part in the murder of Jews and others during the Holocaust 3 weeks ago:
Yeah but a lot has changed since 1991. Wagner was named after Hitler’s favorite composer, and I don’t think that was a mistake. I suppose outright putting up a statue of a Nazi is still taboo there though.

I have a hard time believing there’s only one in Russia.

Is this why my wife is constantly complaining that her playlists constantly keep playing the same songs over and over?

North Jersey is a wild sprawl of highways. It’s a shame it’s not more pedestrian friendly.

- Comment on FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled 5 weeks ago:
It’s not like it was a press release, it was gleaned from a court document. I suppose they could be happy with what info they got off of it enough to let this prosecution fail if they can follow up the chain, but I’m still skeptical. Who knows, maybe they have a functional quantum computer they don’t want to advertise
- Comment on FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled 5 weeks ago:
This news sparks joy. It’s a shame the FBI is wasting their time on petty political bullshit like this instead of going after real crime. What a shameful chapter for the FBI, and that’s really saying something given their illustrious history.
- Comment on CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant 5 weeks ago:
Alex needs more people working with their hands. You know, stuff like tilling land, then planting Coca seeds. Follow that up with nurturing said plants until they can be harvested and then he’d like you to use your hands to help process those leaves into sweet sweet Colombian bam bam. From there he’d ask you to use your legs to help transport that magical white nectar to wherever it is that he is currently located so he can deposit it directly up his nose. This is an essential process to delivering value to shareholders interested in trading in subjugation and death.
- Comment on Over 7,000 cannabis shops in Thailand close due to stricter regulations and new law 5 weeks ago:
I watched a guy rip a pretty large bong while riding on the back of a scooter while I was in Bangkok four years ago, it was pretty awesome. Sad to see they’re killing the industry.

You create a new account on a Piefed instance. There’s a lot to choose from like Piefed.social, piefed.ca, piefed.blahaj.zone, etc
Theres a lot of animosity right now between some Piefed and Lemmy users for some reason. I use both, I dunno why people are picking this fight right now, it seems pretty fucking dumb to me.

One of my friends finally joined for two reasons. First he was disgusted by the Reddit ICE ads, and second he realized his Reddit feed was half shit he doesn’t subscribe to.

- Comment on Ring Cameras Join Flock and Amazon to Now Create Direct Data Access for ICE 1 month ago:
Fishing expedition an expression for cases where a police officer or agency goes after someone, generally someone they don’t like, usually for personal or political reasons, by searching for crimes the person has committed in absence of any actual suspicion of a crime being committed. Basically digging up dirt on someone as retaliation for whatever they don’t like a person for.
The current DOJ is doing a lot of it. They make up bogus justifications for what are clearly illegal search and seizures so they can make their political enemies’ lives more difficult. None of the charges will stick, but they’ll still ransack your house, confiscate your computers, shit like that. I don’t want to make their lives easier in the event they want to dig up dirt on me; at least they’ll need a search warrant to come in and steal my DVR drive out of my home rather than hitting up a tech company that doesn’t care about me beyond my being a revenue stream to get my data.
- Comment on Ring Cameras Join Flock and Amazon to Now Create Direct Data Access for ICE 1 month ago:
It’s not just a random person, you’re opening yourself up to the government subpoenaing wyze and collecting information about you without your knowledge or consent. In a normal world with a responsible government that wouldn’t be a huge deal provided you’re not doing anything seriously wrong, but that ship has sailed as of late. Don’t let them incriminate you with a fishing expedition for convenience

My bad, I mixed up wyze with nest, which google owns. Amazon owns blink and ring. I do know wyze was founded by former Amazon employees, which is definitely not the same as their being controlled or supported by Amazon. That said, you may want to read up on some of their security breaches, which have happened multiple times.
