- Comment on Trump says he plans to put a 100% tariff on computer chips, likely pushing up cost of electronics 4 hours ago:
He meant that this is a disincentive to manufacture a phone in the USA.
Phone built in china: 30% tariff on the total assembled unit (this week is 30% or it changed again?)
Phone built in USA: 30% tariff on all the components because they’re made in China, 100% tariff on the processor, AND spend 1000% more in assembling the device because finding, training and paying skilled workers is way more expensive
Maybe there might be an incentive to move production to a country different from China, but the situation changes too wildly. The risk of spend millions to move production to Vietnam to get a lower rate, then a week later Trump gets diarrhea from eating a bahn mi and imposes an immediate 50% tariff as revenge

Girls gone wild is still in activity? Didn’t they lost the lawsuit for coercing all those girls and even have some minor in their videos?

Go to chatgpt, ask for 50 images of a cartoon style human and all of the 50 will have
- the same style of drawing with those eyes
- The same “font” with slightly irregular borders
- The same yellow tint overlayed over it for some reason
- Comment on Great Advertise 3 days ago:
It’s the style of drawing, probably stolen from stock websites like this sozai-good.com/illust/person/mother/44455

In the First image, there’s a yellow tint that chatgpt absolutely loves to always apply to everything. White is never white

The article isn’t really honest btw, it says indian company and very vaguely alludes to sanctions.

- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 6 days ago:
No, on aur there’s
duckstationwhich is the old GPL3 version (stuck to one year ago) andduckstation-gitwhich downloads that git with latest license and compiles on the end user machine. Both versions respect the dev intentions of “no packages” as it downloads the code and compiles it. The problem that it was about were probably two-
Documentation on how to compile is insufficient. It depends on many libraries but doesn’t say which exact version which causes issues at compile. Someone did the guesswork and wrote “instructions” (the pkgbuild file) for everyone but it’s not the main dev and it breaks often
-
Because it downloads the code from git, it might be an issue if it’s not tagged correctly, users get the latest commit instead of latest release and that’s undesirable (didn’t check for this case, but it was an issue for other emulators where non devs could run buggy code and complain about non-issues)

It’s more a case by case situation, not universal. In a place where car thefts are rampant they wouldn’t offer that, for example
And the initial deposit is massive
- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 6 days ago:
the license change is invalid as it’s based from GPL3 code and previous contributors did not allow the change
- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 6 days ago:
Refuse to build in Arch package environments. My license does not allow for packages
but it’s not a package. On arch it downloads the source from his own git and it compiles it on the end user machine. He is a dev and doesn’t know that? Or just pretending?

How often do they change flavors that they need a full blown computer to show the logo, probably downloading it from a remote server, compared to just a backlighted sheet with a printed image?
- Comment on Hertz' AI System That Scans for "Damage" on Rental Cars Is Turning Into an Epic Disaster 1 week ago:
it’s because with credit cards they can check the credit limit, then be sure that the card can pay the insurance deductible in case of crash
instead with debit i can rent a car, close or deativate the card, crash/total the rental car and then avoid paying any extra fee
most rentals don’t rent with debit cards because they want to be sure, and who accepts debit:
- they preauthorize thousands of dollars instead of hundreds
- they only rent the lowest end of the available cars

in this case, hertz doesn’t rent to who doesn’t have a credit card
debit = no rent

I have that exact Aiwa music player.
Last Sunday when I went back to my parents house, I noticed that the clock was blinking because there was a blackout, so I turned on and I saw that the 5 CD changer not only gets stuck but the laser doesn’t see the discs anymore 😢
I’m sad

Usually asking to LLM works like this:
“I want to do this and I think it’s a good idea, what do you think?”
✅ Perfect, it’s a fantastic idea and you need to do that ASAP (add three paragraphs of slop about why it’s the best thing ever)
“Someone told me I should do that but I’m not sure, what do you think?”
❌ Absolutely no! They have hidden reasons to push you like that (add three paragraphs of slop about why you shouldn’t trust that person and how to cut them from your life)

In the 90s, in my country, a single person made a webpage stating that Microsoft minesweeper promotes war and violence, so since windows 95 if the Windows locale is set to my language, minesweeper becomes “flower field” and you have to find flowers instead of mines

He gets the papers already ready to sign, I can’t imagine him writing bills.
At most he can choose the name of the bill, as shown by the latest one, it’s so obvious that even stupid algorithms can guess it

- Comment on Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA 2 weeks ago:
It’s already happened that Nintendo remotely bricked a switch 2 because its owner bought an used game, but that game was dumped by its previous owner.
You also have no intention of buying 100% genuine original, but used, games?
- Comment on Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA 2 weeks ago:
Switch 1 was feasible as its CPU was similar to the ones found on a $200 android tablet from 2018 so even a Chromebook can emulate that.
Switch 2 is comparable to a mid range modern gaming PC so we have to wait at least a decade for full speed emulation, if not more

ChromeOS is going to the Google graveyard, to be replaced by android
(Maybe this is a good thing as Chromebooks have an expiration date averaging 3-5 years where they stop getting Chrome updates, when if it’s android can get updates to the browser for a much longer time AND have Firefox as default)
