It’s ironic considering their early days in gaming. They were targeted by Universal over a BS lawsuit for using “Kong” in Donkey Kong and him being a gorilla like King Kong.

Now they’re pulling the same crap on smaller people/businesses and also working with the very company who did the lawsuit to bring their games to the movies.

Reminds me of Crimson Skies! I miss that game and it’s a shame we never got a sequel.

Wait so there will be two different types of cartridges? Some that do hold game data and others that don’t and are just the digital key?

I was under the impression this would be all cartridges for the Switch 2.

They made a change that the cartridges no longer hold the game data but will require a download of the game and the cartridge is just a key for the digital game.

That will stop game dumping from the cartridge. But with a jailbroken console, we can still get the game that way.

I didn’t even know this was on Steam, or PC for that matter

In addition to adblocking, some people use it for family censoring like blocking porn and gore on the domain level. It’s a more effective means as it would mean that your kid can’t go to ph on the family computer as well as their iPad.

You can block individual domains if you wish but there are also a lot of lists out there that are generated and maintained by the community to include new sites as they arise.

I like it for my iPhone for playing free games like solitaire and the like. A lot of these have intrusive ads but the PiHole effectively blocks the ads and I don’t have to have any third party apps running on my phone.

Additionally, I set up a VPN on my Raspberry Pi so I can take this adblocking on the go too.

You can also set up the PiHole to keep a log history which some people may want or you can use it to never keep the history for privacy reasons. I suppose this is another use case in ensuring your DNS server at home doesn’t keep a history of websites you visit from any device on the network.

I’ve gotten it 3 times from 2 different accounts. The first account sent it to me twice on two separate days. Ironically from an account that I had replied to months before it spammed me.

Then it sent me it again a few weeks later from a different account, same picture but different name.

I’ve blocked both accounts so far, so they may have sent more and I just didn’t see the other attempts.

Hilarious chaos has been pretty cool in this regard. I like that the admins don’t take themselves seriously and are very active here.

Why is this just about “minorities” and what is a “minority”? Who is going to define this definition? Why is this not also for hate of any kind such as calls for violence to “non-minorities”?

Who decides what is hateful and worthy of removal? How is it not censorship? This is such a dumb article lol

You don’t have to be a free speech advocate. It’s fine if you want censorship, just quit changing definitions to make yourself sound less authoritarian.

I always thought the abomination that is SaaS came from Adobe

Yeah…what we have today as “AI” makes a ton of mistakes. Well, maybe not a ton, but enough that it cannot be relied on without a human to correct it.

I use it as a foundation at work.

ChatGPT, write me a script that does this, this, and that.

I often, like 98% of the time, won’t get what I asked for or will get something that it interpreted incorrectly. It’s common sense to me but maybe not to others to not run whatever it spits out blindly. Review what it outputted, then test it somewhere. I often create a similar file structure somewhere else and test there and then after a few tests and reviewing and making modifications, then I feel comfortable running whatever it spit out to me.

But I don’t think I’ll ever not double check whatever any type of AI spits out as a response to me for whatever I’ve asked. Humans should always have the last word before action, especially when it comes to healthcare.

If you really value free speech, you’d let people speak things that you disagree with. Otherwise, no, you aren’t advocating for free speech.

I’m all for free speech! But only if you say things that don’t upset me :(

There’s an app I got for Plex for my Meta Quest 3 and I gotta say that it is top notch. They have a bunch of settings for how you’d like your environment to look like but I prefer the one that makes you feel you’re at the movies and it really does feel that way.

Not sure if that’s what you were getting at or not but I enjoy it when I’m out and about instead of using my iPad or iPhone.

Downside is that you need to sideload this which requires a Meta developer account (free, just unnecessary hassle) as far as I know. Other is that it requires Plex and not the native Netflix/etc. app. Though YouTube has a similar format in their official app.

I mean I want one but the only reason I don’t have one is because I’m not paying $3500 for one. And even if I could get one used for under $1000, I’m still not because a majority of customers feel the same way, so this was DOA for that reason alone. No developer is developing anything fun for this en masse with no customer base.

I think a majority of people are in this boat. People flock to anything with the apple logo on it, but this was just too damn expensive.

That headset is more expensive than most MacBooks, just for reference.

Nice! Thanks for the recommendation, I love having alternatives in case anything unexpectedly goes down.

There’s a good one for Amazon called Keepa that shows you the price history of the item. Helps a ton keeping prices in check during sales like Prime Day to see how much you are actually saving, if anything.

Also nice to see how much you could potentially save if you just wait for the next sale or if there was already a price decrease. Often times it looks like I’m good buying without waiting for any sale as the sales only knocked off a few dollars, at most.

I got that too until I backed out and came back in.

Oh really? I didn’t know that was a thing.

So you tell Siri “Use ChatGPT” and then it switches over?

I had asked Siri what it could do after the update and didn’t get much information on what new features there were or how to access them.

I really don’t get the advantage. It just feels like Siri with less.

My ex’s last name was pronounced worse after the upgrade too. It used to enunciate the T in the last name and then after spoke it like there was no T. Always bothered me when I would ask Siri to make a call to her.

It looks pretty? But beyond that, I’m not feeling any advantages like what ChatGPT or Copilot have.
