It means we have less insight on what they are doing with our passwords.
- Comment on Top 10 Anime of the Season - Summer 2024 (Anime Corner) 1 month ago:
I only watched the first 3 episodes, but it handled things pretty well up to that point. The characters were mature which was quite appealing. I only dropped it because I have limited time and need to choose what I watch.
- Comment on Risk Of Rain 2 slaps a patch on the bug-ridden DLC that accidentally made the final boss invincible 2 months ago:
The title makes it sound like the patch was what caused the boss to be invincible.
- Comment on Blue Protocol to be discontinued in Japan, will no longer release in the west. 2 months ago:
Damn. Had this one on my wishlist.
- Comment on What is the better game...The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time or Final Fantasy VII? 3 months ago:
I would switch mechanics and atmosphere myself, but I agree overall that it is 2-2. Both are good for different reasons and they weirdly do not overlap on any of them with the exception of music which both were only slightly above average. With that said the OoT soundtrack is much more memorable. There is only a single FF7 track that I actually remember well.
- Comment on When Harris had to pick a VP, all media kinda agreed it should be a white male, to balance the fact that she is black and a woman. So Waltz is the DEI hire. 3 months ago:
This. I don’t understand why people think diversity is a bad thing. True democracy and progress comes when everyone is well represented and everyone’s opinions are heard.
With that said we have a lot of institutional barriers that need to be utterly demolished before the people will actually be heard. We have a long way to go, and the first step is to participate in your local elections and vote for the people who actually listen.
- Comment on YSK there are more than 3 US credit bureaus 3 months ago:
Your credit, which is a fancy name for the profile that financial companies build on you to determine whether you are able to pay back loans. When you apply for a credit card, get a loan, rent an apartment, or buy a car, the seller will look at your credit to determine whether you are a risk of not paying and will use this info to set interest rates and payment plans.
Locking your credit means preventing these financial institutions from releasing your financial information to people who request it. This will prevent malicious actors from opening lines of credit in your name, but it will also prevent you from doing so as well.
Unfortunately in the US we can’t tell a single entity that we do not want this information released. We need to inform multiple entities not to release this info since they are all independent.
- Comment on Hyundai and Kia car thefts fall sharply after software upgrade, study finds 3 months ago:
I have never had a phone that has successfully unlocked the first time using biometrics. I wouldn’t say it is a solved problem or a solution. There are also implications with law enforcement when using biometrics. They can’t force you to unlock something with a password, but they can forcefully unlock something with your fingerprint.
- Comment on Grassy green JRPG Visions Of Mana gets free demo a month ahead of release 3 months ago:
Glad to hear this. It tells me they have confidence in the product.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
One of my friends is looking for a job and he never gets feedback when he is rejected. It never occurred to me it could be because the legal team had a stick up their asses.
- Comment on Windows 98 Disk Defrag Simulator 3 months ago:
As a kid I would sit there and watch the defrag window. To this day there is something really satisfying about watching colors arrange themselves.
- Comment on How a North Korean Fake IT Worker Tried to Infiltrate Security Awareness Firm KnowBe4 3 months ago:
They treat you like a child with no self respect. They are awful.
- Comment on Anime music piracy website closes after industry goes to court 3 months ago:
It’s their right and all, but I don’t want to hear how their international sales have dropped and how profits are down.
- Comment on I pinky promise I'm not a demon that was summoned during an unfortunate ritual 4 months ago:
The non joke answer is that the document attempts to prove who you say you are. The joke answer is that this is an attempt and is public info that anyone can use.
- Comment on sure you can have latkes :) 4 months ago:
Delicious and some of the most tedious foods to make.
The secret ingredient is chicken fat.
- Comment on Demon Lord, Retry! R Key Visual 4 months ago:
The first season had an all-star VA cast, but it was like they were told to give their worst performances. It was full of animation errors as well. It just felt really sloppy overall.
- Comment on gotdamn 4 months ago:
You know what else kills a human? Forcing them to give birth even if they are not healthy enough to do so.
If you are going to make talking points at least be cohesive.
- Comment on "Outrageously" priced weight-loss drugs could bankrupt US health care 5 months ago:
Read the article. This is not a US product.
I agree with you though.
- Comment on Prison Architect 2 transitioning game to a different studio 6 months ago:
The first game is still loaded with bugs to this day. I had no faith in a second game, and this news does it no favors.
- Comment on Manor Lords is off to a flying start on Steam, just hours after its early access release 6 months ago:
Banished is a low bar. It had a lot of issues. I would argue the recently released Farthest Frontier is a better comparison. It also has some flaws but is leaps and bounds better than Banished.
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
I may be misunderstanding how it all works, but the venues choose the ticket service, not the artists.
- Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house? 7 months ago:
These are the same assholes who sound like a jackhammer when they walk in apartments.
- Comment on Microsoft is blocking Windows Customization Tools 7 months ago:
Do NOT blame the devs for this. They are not the ones to decide the direction of the product or the priority of the tickets they work. Blame upper management for making these poor decisions and the product managers for being spineless and not pushing back.
- Comment on Proton's Free plan now offers up to 5 GB (up from 1 GB) on Proton Drive and 1 GB (up from 500 MB) on Proton Mail after completing certain tasks. 8 months ago:
One of these is linking/forwarding from a Gmail account. I have yet to figure out how to not have to do this.
- Comment on Funimation Anime Streaming Service Is Shutting Down And Crunchyroll Is Raising Its Prices 9 months ago:
Closing the Funimation service is totally understandable and I would make the same business decision. There is no point in owning two different services that do the same thing. That price hike though. That is BRUTAL. The catalog isn’t nearly large enough and the quality of the streaming service and subtitles aren’t remotely good enough to warrant that price.
- Comment on Tech Used to Be Bleeding Edge, Now it’s Just Bleeding | After a decade of scandals and half-assed product launches, people are no longer buying the future Big Tech is selling. 9 months ago:
Nobody wants to invest 2 months paycheck into hardware that the developer is going to drop support for in 6 months.
Hardware is too expensive for the average Joe to buy and those of us who can afford it are tired of being burned by companies that provide subpar service then drop support for the thing. Cool, bleeding edge tech means little if there is little use for it or if nobody can afford it.
- Comment on I lost my job after AI recruitment tool assessed my body language, says make-up artist 9 months ago:
For a brief moment I worked in that industry as a programmer. The whole point is not to find the most qualified candidate but to find the one that fits into the company culture the most in order to reduce turnover. These algorithms will throw away applications from people of color because they have “behaviors not in line with the company culture” or applications from disabled people because they would “not react properly to certain situations”.
Of course they aren’t explicitly rejecting these people, but the questions and answers on the tests for applications are specifically and painstakingly crafted to filter out these people without making it clear what type of person the question is trying to filter out.
This doesn’t necessarily have to do with the AI in question, but my point is that the entire hiring/firing process is totally fucked, and companies are constantly looking for ways to get around discrimination laws.
- Comment on RTX 4070 Super launch day sales are rumored to be a ‘disaster’ – what’s going on with Nvidia’s new GPU? 9 months ago:
I don’t know about everyone else, but I still play at 1080. It looks fine to me and I care more about frames than fidelity. More VRAM isn’t going to help me here so it is not a factor when looking at video cards. Ignoring the fact I just bought a 4070, I wouldn’t not skip over a 4070 Super just because it has 12GB of RAM.
This is a card that targets 1440p. It can pull weight at 4k, but I’m not sure if that is justification to slam it for not having the memory for 4k.
- Comment on Prison Architect 2 - Official Announcement Trailer 10 months ago:
They still haven’t fixed the major bugs after how many years in the first game. I don’t think I can trust them with a second.
- Comment on A cargo plane flew 50 miles with no pilot onboard using a semi-automated system. An aviation expert says the technology could address the pilot shortage. 10 months ago:
Pilots are paid bank BECAUSE the training is so expensive. If you make the training cheaper the compensation will drop with it. Of course lowering the barrier to entry is a good thing, but don’t expect the compensation to remain high.
