Right? Training data is an absurd blob of everything the algorithm can get its hands on. It’s like trying to assure that there’s no alcohol or coca-cola in a lake.

If there’s a personal information field, filling it with random noise is marginally better than leaving it blank. The pronouns field is new but I’ve noticed a lot of women friends (that have gender neutral usernames and profile pics, and no linked social media) opting to not use it or set it to he/him because having it filled out accurately caused trolls and bots and incels to fill their DMs.

The equivalents for Android, precompiled ReVanced APKs, are commonly used to spread malware. Following the instructions to patch the app yourself isn’t hard. Google taking down precompiled modded versions of YouTube but leaving patches and the the tools anybody can use to apply them is a neutral thing at worst.

Also I don’t see anyone in this thread glad that Google did this, aside from the first half of the joke / fakeout / pun post about IPA beer.

I use Paxmod instead. It supports multi-row tabs like old Tab Mix Plus.

I’ve seen them in the wild, I live in the bay area. They look worse than in the pictures. The brushed steel catches every speck of dirt and oil. It’s like they’re driving a damn crock-pot.

Which is why this flashcart is saying “don’t go online unless you’re using your own backups”. This cart spoofs the unique signature and such to the console. If you download mario kart 8 from a torrent and run it here, you’ll trip Nintendo’s copy detection. If you go to a gamestop and buy a used mario kart 8, then back it up to this thing and return the cart to the gamestop… Well one of two things happens.

1: Nintendo’s system is manually managed and Nintendo checks cartridge certs against a known dataset of pirated copies. You can now play pirated Mk8 online because of your valid cert that doesn’t match any known dumps.

2: Nintendo’s system is automated and will permanently ban anyone online with a given cert in two consoles at once. You can now play pirated Mk8 online until someone else goes to the gamestop, buys the cart you used, and tries to play online at the same time as you. Now you and the guy that bought the used game are perma’d.

Thanks for Priiloader! Still using it multiple times a week in 2023.

I love f4mi’s videos. They’re an absolute treasure and she’s clearly passionate about the Wii/DS era of gaming which was my own awakening point for modding the absolute christ out of every bit of tech I can get my hands on.

I thought RAID1 enabled faster reads too, because both drives have the complete file. Writes don’t get a speed bump ofc, since those are still bottlenecked by the slowest single drive in the array

Edmund McMillen’s (The Binding of Isaac, Super Meat Boy) upcoming game Mew-Genics seems right up your alley!

Ingredient quality does. The employee gives no fucks but if better beef is getting slapped on the grill the food will be better.

On the flip side, I’ve been using FX file explorer for this for years with no issues, but my roommate on the latest iPhone (a year ago) encountered a pretty horrific oversight in the default Files app’s way to handle this (and no option to use third party apps).

Whenever she tried to copy more than 2GB from the network drive to the phone via Files, the phone would completely lock up and freeze (and stop transferring, which I confirmed by looking at read operations on the home server). She had to hard reboot and copy the files over multiple operations instead of just queuing up 50GB of audiobooks once and letting it transfer in the background. It turns out the Files app handles network assets by loading them all into RAM and then writing them to the iPhone’s NAND, and if you try to perform an operation that takes more than the phone’s current available RAM it just does the Apple equivalent of a bluescreen.

It’s also possible to fake Pal Park. Pkhex can import a gen3 Pokémon into a gen 4 file, and any 3DS can back up, restore, and edit NDS Pokémon saves.

Every method of communication known to man short of identity verified adult-only channels is a potential direct route of communication from a child to a pedophile. No, I don’t think that Lemmy, Discord, Reddit, Xbox Live, PSN, Steam, Twitter, Tumblr, XMPP, Signal, 4chan, Whatsapp, Snapchat, Messenger, SMS, Neopets, Geocities, Kik, Club Penguin, or IRC should be shut down because of that potential abuse case, and I don’t think that Nintendo should avoid a decent friending/communication infrastructure because of it. And I’ve been using some of those services since i was a child. And no, I don’t think that wholesale banning kids from communicating online so that companies get to distance themselves from abuse is the right answer either. But just not having a communication system because maybe someone will use it for child abuse or drug deals or media piracy or coordinating the assassination of the President?

I didn’t buy this one. However, the biggest problems here are tied to the setting - there’s just not really a good way to do “Skyrim in space” that doesn’t just turn into “Skyrim with more loading screens”. “Space” is just too big and empty of a setting for that kind of game. Setting a sci-fi game on one planet would be fair game, or maybe even limiting to three or four fleshed-out worlds but this game tried to be set in “space”.

The next Elder Scrolls or Fallout will not be set in space. Even if the combat and role-playing systems and character writing stay Starfield / FO4 / Skyrim levels, the strengths of Bethesda rpg design won’t be completely incompatible with the setting the way they are in Starfield.

When the game’s level design is set up to comfortably accommodate four players (which NSMBU is), those accommodations don’t necessarily make the game better when played solo. NSMBU has a lot of “extra” space and a really wide camera zoom compared to traditional 2D marios like World or Bros 3, and very few jumps require any degree of precision or P-speed (because if they did, it’d be really hard for four players to do them at the same time due to collision and camera shift).

Wonder has really tight level design, which makes the 2-4p feel cramped and necessitates the removal of player collision. But those changes make it a much better single player experience.

The correct response to pedos or whatever on your social service is moderating your social service. Every service has pedos and nazis until they’re sufficiently discouraged by being banned and reported to authorities often enough.

Nintendo’s response was “welp, we tried. Guess there’s no way at all to let people meet each other and socialize through our games, because any form of communication can also be used for exposing children to sexual predators”

It’s not a block on these sites, it’s there to prevent porn and piracy sites from showing up in the “suggested” page that every privacy conscious user already turned off completely.

It’s almost certainly easier for an app like duolingo to support a conlang like klingon, elvish, etc than it is to research a real language that matters. If they add something like Cherokee it’s imperative that it be near-perfect, since any errors stand a real chance of causing damage to the “endangered” language. See the whole Scots Wikipedia fiasco.
