It’s not legal anymore but that doesn’t mean you’ll get caught

You already can.

Go bling up your heat spreading

It’ll stick anyway because Microsoft is not about to let all that data go. It’s great for training better AI and for advertising, and those seem to be the only businesses in big tech lately.

Like that, but filtered through an AI.

Features: questions like “Hey, where’s that file I worked on last week”, “What was that recipe I found the other day” or “hey can you pull up a copy of this document from 3 days ago so I can compare them” all work. Its nice to be able to just do that, and you can apply all the normal AI editing things to them, too. They’re all available.

Downside: a black box AI system the user doesn’t have full control over has the right to record literally everything you do on your computer. They promise its local, for now, but not only is Microsoft not trustworthy in that regard, even if they’re honest we don’t know if or when they’ll change that policy. I would not be surprised if the next step was “A small amount of none identifiable information is transmitted to our servers” snuck in, and they used that permission to have Microsoft Recall answer queries for advertisers directly, technically without ever identifying you. Advertisers could directly ask your own computer for all the info they’ll ever need.

And, yes, Mac still has Time Machine. Linux has its own version, too. Both are very handy and I’ve used them each personally. In my personal opinion, a basic search with time machine does enough of Microsoft recall’s job that I’m not going near it, but honestly at least you’re getting functionality out of them selling your data, so it could be worse.

That… Was what you asked for. Things you hadn’t heard of. Now you’re in the lucky 10,000.

Because reddit has blocked guest VPN users lately.

Definitely defeats the point, but its deliberate.

You really were coloured triggered. You did it.

But that’s actually one of the reasons they avoided putting her up there. Better to set precedent using someone who can’t throw all the money at a lawyer. Stops the rich from buying a precedent.

Its horrid that that level of politicking is even relevant in crime like this, but it is, so its good she’s not the precedent. Need to set that precedent then get back to her next criminal act.

Yeah that’s right. No routers needed.

All local wireless gameplay on the DS is the same ad-hoc networking, too. Some games, like Mario kart, could use ds download play which is the same thing but a host would send over full game data before playing, too.

The 3ds also used it for local streetpass.

Nintendo experimented with it a bunch, honestly, although I always felt it was relatively unexploited in the ways they did. DS download was cool though because it was a mobile console’s split-screen gameplay, instead of selling you 4 games to let 4 people play.

DS had full WiFi, just nothing to do with it unless a game needed it, but yeah pictochat did use that receiver. As far as I know it was a proprietary protocol so not actually WiFi, but same antenna and bandwidth and everything.

Obviously you need a bluray player per disk and then RAID them together. Simple. Also a lot of extension cords and USB hubs to coordinate all that.

Yeah but 2e is the newer one, and is default now. Assuming 1e is like assuming 4e for DND, it just doesn’t make that much sense.

If the chart was gonna include 1e, it would need to say so explicitly.

Well, assuming no one will have direct experience, there’s two safe options.

You can get a virtual machine and install it there, and run every virus scanner you can find on it before installing it on your normal machine, or you can just leave it on the virtual machine and permanently sandbox it.

You can do the same with an old computer, too, just disconnect the internet after downloading.

Dang I didn’t think of that.

Could definitely play it on a computer and link the sound to a recording device, although then you lose all the metadata like chapter info and get some loss. But as a personal copy, that’s arguably fine.

Piracy and libraries can mix. Once you have your file, use calibre or similar to strip out the DRM and then return the book immediately.

Raises the borrowings in the library’s records, showing use, lets someone else borrow the book, and now you don’t have to return your DRM-free copy.

Right but this is in the context of Bhutan, which has just achieved 100% sterilization.

Shelters will become very niche there, very quickly. Most of my local shelter’s cats are kittens, given up because a cat wasn’t sterilized. Give it a year, maximum, local shelters will close and it’ll be regional shelters full of the oddballs with medical conditions and the like. While shelters will always have a place for rehoming those animals and dealing with the lost-but-not-found, those lost animals that become strays won’t reproduce, and very shortly the only new cats will be from authorized breeders.

It’s the role they should have. Not dealing in pedigrees or exotic cats, but just providing the demand for common cats, because shelters won’t be able to meet demand, in Bhutan. Good for them.

Raw links get downvotes because it lets indexers find sites much easier, and helps get takedowns. I dunno that that’s what happened but when I saw your link I went “hey, do it properly”.

Lemmy isn’t a big as Reddit though, dunno if that’s really something we gotta worry about.

Almost think they wanted to let it die, purposefully not letting in any moderators.

I mean while it’s bound to have a lot of that sentiment, considering why most of us are here, that’s not a rule and this is pretty much the only community on Lemmy where the post is relevant.

If you only have self-control because you have no outlet for boredom, you don’t have self-control.

My dad used to get bored and go out in the woods and stick firecrackers into frogs. A lot of people in his generation died doing stupid things because they were bored. They didn’t have phones, so they must have had self-control? Nah.

The kid won’t be better without the device. They’re not bad kids now. They’re reacting, really badly, to an awful situation. It just so happens (not a coincidence, though, they’re linked) that this particular technological innovation was at a similar time as all the shit above.

People said that about newspapers, too.

The issue isn’t the device, it’s the lack of restraint the kids were never taught. Of course they want that Dopamine hit. It’s free. Same reason very few people seek the satisfaction of building your table yourself, when you can buy one.

Not to say kids aren’t worse, they are, and it’s awful, but it’s a symptom, not the problem, in my opinion. The problem is they have no goals. Where do they wanna end up? The world is fucked, and most of them talk about the future as if there isn’t one. They won’t own a house, they won’t get enough to live off of with a job, a good job is locked behind ungodly amounts of debt, and the world is literally on fire. Then, the people who should fix it, the people who get elected, are selling them out for money instead of fixing it. There’s no point in doing hard things if there’s nothing to gain from it.

Kids won’t improve until the world does, because they have no reason to put down the devices. The devices offer a hollow life, and that’s more than real life is willing to give them.

Sorry about the rant, I just think it’s important to keep the focus on the problem. Kids engage wherever they get the most reward. It’s our job, not teachers, to make real life better, and it can be. Until then, sorry about the kids. I’m trying to raise mine to value what there is to value, but they definitely suck right now, even if it’s not their fault.
