- Comment on Bethesda's re-releases and remasters are getting outta control. 1 month ago:
to be fair what has happened to oblivion is that the game still runs entirely on the old creation engine, but the renderer and all the graphics assets have been swapped for unreal engine. you get old bugs as well as new bugs.

for the biggest crypto investors it isn’t even really gambling. they use celebrities to hype a memecoin and then rug pull and split the profits harvested from the celebrity’s fans.

there’s probably some primordial vampire or anti-vampire god going through each case one by one and either letting the vampire come in or not, and it all happens in an instant. i imagine the results would change with the political ideology of said god.

it is a way to vent, and venting/relieving stress can be pretty good. it doesn’t really solve the underlying problem and actually adds some problems of its own, but y’know.

- Comment on Zero-day: Bluetooth gap turns millions of headphones into listening stations 3 months ago:
phones are already very full and dense, and a headphone jack is a very large component. plus, the Bluetooth is simply part of the small SoC, it’s a microscopic size. That doesn’t mean I prefer Bluetooth, but it makes some sense.
- Comment on Zero-day: Bluetooth gap turns millions of headphones into listening stations 3 months ago:
as someone has been fiddling with dongles for years, it’s not that bad, and you can just permanently connect your headphones to your dongle. the apple dongle is excellent and beyond enough for iems and a lot of headphones. I personally have one dongle + iems for my phone and another dongle + headphones for my PC, and that setup works really well for me. You might want to consider it. Otherwise, those big beefy Bluetooth headphones might be semi-repairable, and there are of course also Fairphone Bluetooth earbuds that are apparently fairly repairable (though I know nothing about those). At least you can replace the batteries and the ear tips or pads, and that’s usually enough to last you a decade with these things.

yes but what if a company has the ability to create billions of close friends who can recommend sponsored products to you? why would it care about whether you want that or not?

that story didn’t actually happened the way those headlines said it did. the AI was a genuine LLM, but the company also had human contractors that could custom build features for you.
- Comment on The 16‑kilobyte curtain. How Russia’s new data‑capping censorship is throttling Cloudflare 3 months ago:
i meant other types of captchas as well, but yes, cloudflare is fairly configurable. I also know other captchas can be more aggressive. And of course captchas can also block or harass “high privacy” configuration browsers and clients, and there’s also the strategy of infinite delay, where a captcha is never quite sure you’re really a human, so you have to work through 12 phases of it only to have to do the exact same thing again the next time you’re on the site. Recaptcha V3 with its “automatic” background captcha is also in a surprising amount of places you’d never know about unless you’re infected with some kind of The-Mainstream-Internet-Hates-You disease. Captchas discriminating against poor countries isn’t some big secret though, as far as I’m aware it’s fairly well known.

they also often prevent legitimate traffic from poorer countries, and aggressively so
