- Comment on Netflix to take on Google and Amazon by building its own ad server 5 months ago:
It’s only logical. They already show ads. When they run their own ad tech stack, they cut out the middle man and earn all the money themselves.
Sure it takes a bit of work to get customers and such, but when you’re a company of that size with that many customers, it shouldn’t be that hard.
- Comment on Nearly all Nintendo 64 games can now be recompiled into native PC ports to add proper ray tracing, ultrawide, high FPS, and more 5 months ago:
It’s referring to both. The recompiler links to the Zelda project and basically tells you “if you want to haven an example how to.proceed/what to implement yourself after the recompilation finished, you can use the Zelda project as an example”.

Well, usually those re-compilers or transpilers just translate the binary to some sort of intermediate language and then any backend should be able to compile it for your target system. So, in theory those handheld could be targeted. Problem with this project is that it’s not just “start transpiler, load rom, click go and your port is ready”. It’s more like "ok, here’s your game logic. Now implement the rest (or use several other projects and duct tape their libraries together to get what you want).

Nah, it just marks your question as duplicate.

- Comment on Microsoft wants to hide the 'Sign out' button in Windows 11 behind a Microsoft 365 ad 6 months ago:
Do you know the term “trust thermocline”?
Basically it described a problem with the boiling the frog technique. There’s a point for every user at which they’re fed up with the bullshit, lose all trust in you(r company) and are hard to impossible to get back as a customer. Every customer leaving has a little unnoticeable effect on you, but with time there will be so many people that you lost that all your tactics to lock your users in will fail.

I read it as “no, we won’t use your data for advertising, but collect it anyways. If you ever dare to stop paying, we’ll retroactively process this data, too”

- Comment on Former Blizzard president wants to be able to leave a "tip" after completing $70 games: "I wish I could give these folks another $10 or $20" 6 months ago:
Your tip is “make another game and I’ll buy it because the last one was good”.
I bought your product and you want me to pay extra because it lived up to what it promised?
For an indie game that I bought cheap (maybe even on sale), I do sometimes feel that the price was way too low for the game and I’d appreciate a easy way support the dev/studio a bit further. For AAA $70+ titles? Nope, not gonna happen.
What’s up with this guy? Was he told “f u pay me” too often by his developers, that he took this phrase and found a new meaning for it?
- Comment on Somebody managed to coax the Gab AI chatbot to reveal its prompt 7 months ago:
Yeah, basically you have three options:
- Create and train your own LLM. This is hard and needs a huge amount of training data, hardware,…
- Use one of the available models, e.g. GPT-4. Give it a special prompt with instructions and a pile of data to get fine tuned with. That’s way easier, but you need good training data and still a medium to hard task.
- Do variant 2, but don’t fine-tune the model and just provide a system prompt.

- Comment on Using AI to spot edible mushrooms could kill you | AI tools are good for some things, but don’t trust your health to apps that make frequent mistakes 7 months ago:
The EU at least tries to regulate AI with the AI Act
It’s not a catch all, but some things are banned from using AI and others will need an assessment before going live. Some other will not need an assessment, but serious incidents need to be reported

- Comment on Reddit introduces a new ad format that looks similar to posts made by users | TechCrunch 8 months ago:
Uhmmm based on my behavior before I left, the engagement is probably “click the three dots, hit report, select spam and block user”. That worked at least for a short while before they got rid of that feature…

- Comment on How Spoutible’s Leaky API Spurted out a Deluge of Personal Data 8 months ago:
They basically did. I bet they just used an ORM in the backed and then pointed the API endpoint to the user entity without filtering the fields. This results in a dump of the user table (although row by row indexed by users instead of a full dump)

Depends on how much current the drive draws. If the m2 SSD needs more current than your regular thumb drive, your phone might not supply enough power and it stays unusable.
Besides that, as long a the enclosure uses the standard protocol and the filesystem is supported by Android, it should work
