  Looks like some of the biggest changes the series has ever seen. I’m excited for it, but like many others, not excited enough for the price they are asking right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google To Allow Double Serving Ads.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I dunno, all I see on Roku is an image banner on the home screen. I never even look at it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google To Allow Double Serving Ads.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, normal YouTube is totally unwatchable. If you have a Roku device, the Playlet app can let you watch without ads. There are probably methods for other devices too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question about the ds lite, dsi, and gba games.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Something to note about the DS lite is that they did tend to have issues with the plastic on the hinge cracking. It happened to mine, but I did play the heck out of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question about the ds lite, dsi, and gba games.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to use a gba flash cart on the ds lite, and it was essentially full compatibility aside from carts that had extra hardware built in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨California’s A.B. 412: A Bill That Could Crush Startups and Cement A Big Tech AI Monopoly.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  AI often gets painted as people vs businesses, but that’s not necessarily what it is in many cases. The EFF is arguing for fair use, which is something that they have stood for as long as I can remember. As the article argues, the businesses creating AIs can easily abide by this law, it’s the little guys training things that would be impacted the most.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨California’s A.B. 412: A Bill That Could Crush Startups and Cement A Big Tech AI Monopoly.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone have a link to the text of the bill?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did you get your job?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m kind of in between the business and tech. I make sure some of our internal software is running correctly and I run SQL queries and stuff to look for problems in our data. I can help create stories to pass to IT for them to develop fixes for issues or for new functionality in our software.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did you get your job?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Graduated around 2008 as the economy was crashing, and struggled to find anything. Eventually got hired at a call center for a large company (about a year after I had applied for it). After a few years of that I was able to transfer into a different department where I didn’t have to deal with customers directly, then kept getting promoted to different positions until I found one I was really comfortable in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The new 3B "fully open source" model from AMD⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And we are still waiting on the day when these models can actually be run on AMD GPUs without jumping through hoops.

  Will Fuckin’ Guile

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digital Fingerprinting: Google launched a new era of tracking worse than cookie banners | Tuta⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Would it be possible for a browser or extension to just provide false metadata in order to subvert this type of fingerprinting?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chinese algorithm claimed to boost Nvidia GPU performance by up to 800X for advanced science applications⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Per the article, they just developed a faster algorithm for a specific type of material simulation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Making a Blocklist to Remove Spam from Search Engines⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This looks like it has some potential. I’ll probably give this a try.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia Announces RTX 50's Graphic Card Blackwell Series: RTX 5090 ($1999), RTX 5080 ($999), RTX 5070 Ti ($749), RTX 5070 ($549)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  LOL, their demo shows Cyberpunk running at a mere 27fps on the 5090 with DLSS off. Is that supposed to sell me on this product?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So I’m hearing that you don’t use an adblocker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the difference between lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What does it matter which users are on which server, since we all get the same content anyways, aside from defederation?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Super Smash Bros. Creator Masahiro Sakurai Reveals He Started Work On A New Game 2 Years Ago | Retro Dodo⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of times when translating articles, and going for click bait headlines, things get mangled. I was searching for where Sakurai may have said he was not making another smash game, and I can’t find anything like that. On the contrary, I am seeing articles saying things like he can’t see another smash game happening without his involvement: www.si.com/…/new-super-smash-bros-game-sakurai

  But regardless, it’s easy to get burned out on something and feel like you never want to touch it again. Then a few years later your feelings on the matter change. It’s happened to me. Doesn’t mean someone “is full of shit”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World of Warcraft adds $90 mount to in game store⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m more surprised that this game is still running. I haven’t heard of anyone playing it in years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Altech’s sodium chloride solid state battery exceeds expectations⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It sounds like it works really well. The physical size does sound quite large, but I’m not sure how that compares against other types of batteries.
