  The ability to miss games has been there for years, you could go to the game in the Xbox app and open the modifiable app data folder. The problem with this is that, developers can choose not to expose that capability on a per game basis.

  Still there’s ways aroused it at least but it certainly not as straightforward.

  Great if your culture encourages that I guess? I do that in East Asia and I’ll get weird stares from everyone. And they’ll ask you to mind your own business which, I agree. It’s basic respect here to not talk on the train.

  Anyone know if Nexon is a concern for this game? I haven’t heard much about them recently but their shitty practices from way back then (and continuing) from their older MMOs doesn’t inspire confidence.

  How do you account for off site back ups though? I’m currently setting up my own set up but I’m not sure how I should perform off site back ups.

  I mean sure, but that’s not the case for the majority of the user base of these banking apps. Is it the most secure? No but it’s way better than it is right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure how it works the way where you live but where I live, the way the banking apps are implemented completely violate MFA. They rely on SMS verification which is absurd since if you’re phone is already compromised, no doubt your SMSes are too. There’s no true multi-device authentication in place and this has led to a huge number of victims being scammed after their devices get compromised by a phishing attack.

  Shouldn’t they also be comparing it to Strix Halo instead?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asus ROG Xbox Ally Gaming Handhelds Cost Up to $999.99, Preorders Open Now⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like I’m the only one who finds this pricing reasonable? I looked up similar devices from Ayaneo and GPD and they’re priced similarly. It’s a premium ultrabook shrunk to a handheld size with a built in controller built by a company that can’t offset costs from an online store like Steam can, what were people expecting?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forza Horizon 6 Japan setting confirmed⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Really, for most people, there’s not much reason to buy the new ones, except that they keep de-listing the old ones and making them impossible to buy.

  Isn’t that because of music licenses or something? I wish they’d just patch those out for people who buy it after the licenses expire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify is finally taking steps to address its AI slop and clone problem⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s an issue with how AI is defined though isn’t it? A decade ago, no one would have counted Miku as AI. It’s just that marketing teams and the media has abused the term that now almost any algorithm can be termed AI even if it never utilizes any mechanism that would be under the umbrella of the academics’ definition of AI.

  Might I suggest Notepads (yea with an s) instead? It’s a 3rd party app that’s similar to how Notepad works. The dev actually started work on it back when Notepad was pretty basic and has pretty much all of the new Notepad improvements and no AI nonsense way before Microsoft started revamping Notepad.

  Considering their trend of cutting everything other than the bonuses for their executives, I find that hard to believe.

  Any idea how well this works for anime? The built in Jellyfin option absolutely shits the bed for anime and gives me subtitles from shows that aren’t remotely the same.

  I mean it is clear that it’s an aggregator (? Not sure what the right term is for this) but I can’t even begin to count the number of times I access Radarr instead of Sonarr because I forgot which one is for shows or movies.

  Its why there is no real point in deciding whether something should be a film or a tv series because you can just release it as a four part miniseries or stretch things out for a full eight and so forth.

  There absolutely is. A movie is still expected to be watched in one go in its entirety and so is an episode of a mini series. It has a huge effects on the pacing of the media and how you segment episodes of one.

  What region are you in if you don’t mind me asking? It works perfectly fine in Singapore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's plan to restrict sideloading on Android has a potential escape hatch for users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s anything like how Windows does it, you would still be able to override it. It just gives you a scary warning and hides the option unless you click “more info” or something.

  What kind of apps are you installing? I’ve never ever had any issue with installing APKs on Samsung, you just have to allow the app that triggered it to install APKs one time and every subsequent time, it just works.

  The clickbait titles and thumbnails destroyed most of the interest I had in their videos but at that time, it was clear that they were pivoting to a more typical less enthusiast-level audience. I still found some of their occasional videos somewhat interesting but the increasing hypocrisy and shit they’ve pulled made me stop watching all together.

  Honestly that’s just how Civ has been for the past few releases, most people don’t get it until the typical set of 2 major expansion packs come out and eventually go on sale. The base price of the full package has always been crazy high.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that’s why u was asking for an example of sorts. The problem is that if you’re just starting out, you don’t know what you don’t know and more importantly, you won’t be able to tell if something is wrong. It doesn’t help that LLMs are notoriously good at being confidently incorrect and prone to hallucinations.

  When I tried it for programming, more often than not, it has hallucinated functions and APIs that did not exist. And I know that they don’t because I’ve been working at this for more than half of my life so I have the intuition to detect bullshit when it appears. However, for learners they are unlikely to be able to differentiate that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Could you expand with an example because what you said is too vague to really extract any point from. I’d argue that if it gives you wrong information, doing something wrong is worse than doing nothing.
