Gmail would like a word
- Comment on Here’s how much Valve pays its staff — and how few people it employs 4 months ago:
The total number is even in the first paragraph. Not the best summary I’ve ever seen.
- Comment on I'm an adult, I do whatever the fuck I want 4 months ago:
Liam Neeson tried eating Trix and got his ass beat.
Stay safe OP!
- Comment on GameCube Gets Achievements Thanks To The Dolphin Emulator | Time Extension 4 months ago:
Feeling kinda neutral on this one. Nice that it’s added but I always liked that Nintendo games didn’t have these. I can just tell people I beat the SMS Plinko game.
- Comment on Sony is killing off recordable Blu-ray, bidding farewell to disc burning | TechSpot 4 months ago:
As long as there are people for whom streaming compression isn’t acceptable, there’ll be a market for Bluray movies/TV shows.
- Comment on Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative 4 months ago:
Making a web browser that’s fully compatible with modern standards is not easy nor cheap (and worse it’s a moving target because the standards keep evolving). I’m rooting for these folks but eventually money will be an issue.
- Comment on Online Content Is Disappearing 5 months ago:
There’s some old Reddit posts like this too. Advice threads where the person who posted a solution went back and overwrote their comments during the boycott last year. I know why they did it but we still lost some information in the grand scheme of things.
- Comment on OpenAI strikes Reddit deal to train its AI on your posts 5 months ago:
Does that really matter? The owner of a given instance can still choose to sell everything on their server, no?
- Comment on Google now offers ‘web’ search — and an AI opt-out button 6 months ago:
Keyword searches stopped being useful years ago. Every site owner stuffed every single word they could think of into that field making the whole thing effectively useless.
It’s like how they’re now returning results stuffed to the brim with AI-written crap. Google can only show what’s on the web and that’s all the web is now.
- Comment on Zelda 64: Recompiled for PC - Majora's Mask Release Trailer 6 months ago:
They’re much more likely to spend time on the easy wins than on anything that’ll take time and money to fight in court. Since these folks aren’t redistributing any of Nintendo’s copyrighted content, it’s not as simple of a takedown as an emulator that includes private keys.
- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 6 months ago:
Yes but it still looks bad because it’s saying “you can talk about it, but only if you say nice things”. A full embargo would’ve made more sense and wouldn’t have raised any eyebrows. This current contract leads me to believe it’s a shit game.
- Comment on Sam Altman takes nuclear energy company Oklo public to help power his AI ambitions 6 months ago:
Laziness, porn addiction and maliciousness have been powered by worse energy sources for over a century. But I do agree that power efficiency should be the focus before we go to the “insanely fast scale-up” phase.
- Comment on "Yeah, yeah, I totally know what a lion looks like, just give me the brush" 6 months ago:
That lion has seen some shit
- Comment on Stack Overflow and OpenAI Partner 6 months ago:
It’s not difficult at all, these companies just have no reason to do it that way. They force you to agree to their terms before you can use the website at all, which means they’re in a much better position to make demands. We can’t counter with anything, it’s just “agree that we own this copy of your content”.
And most of us agree to it because we have no way of knowing that someday our content might actually be worth something.
- Comment on Rabbit was once an NFT company that it wants you to forget about 6 months ago:
iPhones only, basically. Google Assistant is available through an app, but that’s still more convenient than buying a $200 device
- Comment on Rabbit was once an NFT company that it wants you to forget about 6 months ago:
The ultimate issue is exactly what you said; phones exist. I’m not carrying another voice assistant around when both Siri and Google Assistant can be installed on my phone.
Based on MKBHD’s review this whole product category definitely screams “solution in search of a problem”
- Comment on Microsoft ties executive pay to security following multiple failures and breaches 6 months ago:
And in Microsoft’s case you also have to preserve backwards compatibility. It’s one of the reasons the OS continues to dominate despite how it treats its users.
