I heard this game is a bit cryptic. You have to spend some time on the clues.

Um…not sure if I’m too old, too young or too poor, but what is the Miiverse?
- Comment on The world's first foldable phone maker is now out of business 1 month ago:
The only usecase for foldables that made sense is that since phones keep on getting bigger, so having a foldable phone would save some pocket space. However, I think phones stopped growing after 6" and foldable phones have been considerably more expensive. People are just more comfortable with a normal “slab” phone.

Game mode is way better than big picture because
- support for decky loader
- control system level settings from game mode itself
- has gamescope which handles win32 game settings much better
- disables other OS processes/the desktop and frees up resources (not sure about this)
- control more things with controller instead of the touchscreen

- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 2 months ago:
What kind of use-cases was it, where you didn’t find suitable local models to work with ?
Any time you ask very domain specific questions; eg “i have collected some soil samples from the mesolithic age near the Amazon basin which have high sulfur and phosphorus content compared to my other samples. What factors could contribute to this distribution?”, both of-the-shelf local models & OpenAI fail.
The main reason is because these models are not trained on highly-specialized domains of text. Sometimes the models start hallucinating and which reduces our trust upon them.

I think mkdocs is easier than hugo but less flexible in terms of capability. However it serves all my needs (list of webpages accessible from a central frontpage)
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 2 months ago:
My company is realizing that hosting a model which will be private, cost-effective, and performing better than traditional algorithms is like finding a unicorn. Few months back, the top execs were jumping around GenAI like a bunch of kids. Fortunately, the Sr. research head beat some sense into them.

People (the general populace) think that if a group visibility is set to Private, then it’s truly private 🤷🏻
- Comment on Someone Put Facial Recognition Tech onto Meta's Smart Glasses to Instantly Dox Strangers 3 months ago:
Do not share the image in a private Facebook group. Don’t post it on popular direct messaging services.
The only way (which I still don’t trust), some privacy-preserving E2E encrypted file storage server or (which I trust) via your own Matrix server.

- Comment on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second 3 months ago:
Good point. We can have a honeypot wifi. Check my other comment in the thread.
- Comment on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second 3 months ago:
I think for the TVs internal wifi, it’s better to create a honeypot Wi-Fi exclusively for it, or a VLAN. It will constantly try to send data and fail. If we don’t let it connect to anything, the TV might start sniffing for other open networks.

- Comment on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second 3 months ago:
but the smart fridge in your upstairs neighbor’s kitchen could still be helping with smuggling your data out I can understand that if you have a Samsung TV and a Samsung fridge, they can talk with each other. But will it work if you have a fridge from a different OEM? (I’m assuming the OEMs haven’t formed a cartel for illegal data smuggling)

This is why you need to do DNS hijacking to handle hardcoded DNS requests. Check masquerade in OpenWrt
- Comment on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second 3 months ago:
Sorry for being paranoid but can the TV piggyback the connection used by the the streaming device/android box to send data back to the TV OEM?
