- Comment on WiFi signals can measure heart rate—no wearables needed 1 week ago:
All these Wifi for tracking people methods use the channel state information (CSI) that is used to help decode the transmitted data. CSI is obtained from pilot signals that are transmitted as part of a regular transmission. This is done in basically all digital communication standards, so you could do this not just with Wifi but also with 4G or 5G or older mobile communication standards. This is all not very surprising, there is a lot of research in contactless radio based heart rate monitoring, they usually build on radar systems not communication systems though. The buzzword for 6G for all this is joint communication and sensing.
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 1 week ago:
Assuming it’s 768GiB, then it would be 824.6GB, not 832GB.
- Comment on How decentralized Bluesky is compared to the Fediverse. 2 weeks ago:
It only has to be compatible with Mastodon, not necessarily be an actual Mastodon instance, see Meta’s threads.net.

You have to pay google to use it (only works on pixel phones afaik).

- Comment on At Gamescom, it felt like the industry now has a plan: make games quicker | Opinion 3 weeks ago:
Probably, which means the developers (or managers) didn’t really identify the problem.

And GTA Vice City was originally planned as an expansion to GTA III, then turned into an independent game and released just a year after GTA III.

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes.

No, that would be a Wiener, a Weiner is someone who cries.

Visual snow is different, it’s constant and looks more like tv static or film grain, fun stuff, not.

Looks like a normal friday.
- Comment on Day 392 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 4 weeks ago:
I think it suffered from being named after another game and a lot of people being confused or disappointed by it having nothing to do with Prey from 2006. It should have gotten a different name. I played it for the first time last year, can recommend.

The french memes on !rance@jlai.lu are more about stuff and less about bakery, but they’re not that active lately.
- Comment on Spotify to raise prices in September 5 weeks ago:
Two things come to mind, spotify was always a browser based app on mac/linux/windows, I think that was way more inefficient in the early days of doing apps that way. The other thing is that spotify originally used its users’ computers as cache to serve other users, that might’ve caused some additional load.

- Comment on HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron 5 weeks ago:
I literally worked for a company where one of the two people in HR paid for her studies with modelling, the kind where you mostly keep your clothes on. Also I’m pretty sure my boss only hired her because he wanted to fuck her.

- Comment on Xbox Series X and S: Microsoft Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 30 Million Consoles This Generation 5 weeks ago:
I recently played using one of the new xbox controllers, I much prefer the ps5 controllers, with or without the fancy force feedback. The old 360 controllers were great compared to the playstation controllers at the time, but the new ones don’t feel good.
