  Genuinely curious how you interact with it?

  I’ll occasionally amuse myself by making up scenarios with Gemini. And the Google search summary is there - but tbh I mostly find myself ignoring that or seeking confirmation it’s not just made up.

  I guess I passively use it quite a bit through Google search.

  Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one not regularly using AI, am I getting old or something?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone using a BMCU⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been slow going I’m afraid (not the fault of the BMCU). What I’ve learned is some kind of buffer/auto rewinding spool holder is needed for the P1S for the filament retraction and that’s making things too big for my enclosure, so I’m going down the route of solving that problem first.

  On the BMCU side of things, everything is printed and ready to assemble, just need some time 😄

  Oh nice, how good is the MiSTer with Saturn games?

  No Saturn?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Think about what today is considered next level vs what it used to be⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I definitely would if I had the space and time to build it. Too many projects too little time (and space)

  They also installed the product incorrectly in a test and shat all over it and the initial response on the controversy from Linus on the forum was pretty terrible.

• ⁨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:

  If you’re offline only, they can’t afaik. In the case of online I’m lead to believe each individual cart is signed with a unique certificate so they can tell if that cart has been used in more than one console. If there’s two instances of the same thing online at the same time it must be pirated.

  In terms of reversal - I’ll work from the premise we agree that it’s unacceptable a customer loses access to a device they purchased and own because the company doesn’t like it. But let’s say it happens, how much hassle is it going to be to undo it? The console is bricked so it’s presumably not running/able to go online? Do I need access to a PC to fix it? Do I need to send it off to Nintendo? Go to a game store?

  Fwiw I like tinkering with consoles and devices - not necessarily because of piracy, I just like running weird software on them or making them do things they weren’t meant to. It’s not a common use case, but it’s valid enough. Why should Nintendo control that.

• ⁨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:

  Which is fine until the piracy detection system has a false positive and you lose your Switch. Or you buy a second hand copy of a game the original owner made a copy of and continues to use and your switch gets bricked. I understand you’re in the EU, but this kind of nonsense would definitely put me off a system that’s already inordinately expensive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Like “I need to get home to see my dying child” and they think “oh yes, what a perfect opportunity to demonstrate our ability to extract as much money as possible”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder about these fuckers, like what is wrong with them. I totally understand theorising about this crap, it wouldn’t be the first time I’d been down a line of thought purely thinking about “how could I maximise this” or “how could I solve this problem” but at some point I take a step back and “wait no, this is a horrendous idea” occurs to me. And then there’s this twat who thinks “oh yeah, we should extract as much money from paying customers as possible and then we’ll do it in other industries” and says it like they think everyone is going to think it’s a good idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nexus Mods to Enforce Digital ID Age Checks Under UK and EU Laws⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Genuinely curious, is it just as a side effect of appearing to come from an EU server that means you trigger automated privacy systems? Or is there a legal basis by which you can say “I routed this through an EU server therefore I’m subject to EU privacy law” (maybe there isn’t even a difference)

  Thanks! Definitely want an umbilical. I’ve been slowly talking myself into a 2.4 over the last couple of years and it never ceases to amaze me how much the meta moves. For ACM - like aluminium honeycomb? Eddy probe looks pretty exciting too.
