It’s crazy how normalized gambling became the last 10 or so years.
It used to be really hard to gamble legally. Now it’s hard to find someone not pushing “legal gambling” everywhere. Meanwhile, we still can’t smoke weed in some parts of the world? What?
One step away from being relocated to their actual destination: the bin.
Nvidia is only begging because they didn’t realise that putting out a free product that essentially makes most work redundant would bite them in the ass as it would mean less people able to buy their products.
Oh, and because they’re worried about what happens when they start charging the companies who fired everyone the real price of the AI service they’re currently providing for free.
I thought I was having a stroke during the 2024 debate. It went that badly.
You can thank legal weed for that. Oregon weed prices have stayed pretty cool and low for a long while now. Helps that this stuff is pretty easy to grow.
Where do people who use kobo readers buy their ebooks? Is there a reliable non Amazon e-reader shop that sells from free books? (Besides humble store)
What AI profits?
Shit like this will continue to happen until governments start enforcing interoperable open standards and resume enforcing antitrust laws, which were, in practice, suspended for a long time, for whatever reason.
Which will never happen if we keep ending up with republicans every 4 years. Sad state of affairs, but technology will remain corporate as long as people are awful putting their money where their mouth is (or time, in the case of social web)
Electricity production vs electricity waste, the choice is pretty obvious honestly.
Ignoring the fact that I also don’t think I could trust any company in 2026 to maintain a nuclear power plant well, it feels like we’ve actually gone backwards in that front specifically.
No, the prompt won’t respond to non keyboard input devices. You have to click with a mouse or keyboard.
There should really be a timeout confirmation, you know, like most prompts of this sort. It’s a pretty big design flaw imo.
No, believe it or not it used to be Netflix because it was so high in the stock market value.
By design, too.
Ah I’ve been noticing some weird youtube behavior lately. This probably explains it.
Crazy something like this passes a company as large as Google’s eyes.
I was thinking this as well. You would have thought they took the “Jeeves” as an agent name.
I had always heard “binary blob” said when it came to opaque code, but I see that blob is what is used to describe unexplained binary data as a whole in database lingo, so I’m willing to say your usage of it is probably more correct than mine here, assuming the binary data isn’t an actual program (afaik there’s no elf-file like characteristics but who knows.). 😇
It’s a bit strange that this code requires a binary blob to verify, I think people who want to experiment with this should take some caution as it could be an exploit-in-an-exploit (user is highlighting a real exploit, but also trying to take advantage of people testing by effectively installing a back-door.) I won’t say that’s happening for sure, but take running this yourself with extreme caution.
Very nice!
Have you cross posted this !artshare[email protected]? That community also loves this type of content as well so it might be worth sharing there too.
Granted, sure, but they don’t even need the data (or a disc, for that matter) and that would still beat forcing a login every 30 days (at least IMO)
My guess would be no. I think this is effectively a “log in to play this game again” check that will happen if you are disconnected from the service for a month, basically.
Honestly, I would prefer they adopt a game-key-card approach if this is really the direction they’re going to take. At least a physical key would make more sense than a digital key that needs constant online connection for validity.
I don’t think we want 50% stake, where things are going. This sounds like we’ll end up bailing them out one way or another…
