- Comment on God of War Laufey and Wolverine are snubbing PC, as rumoured, but I bet they come crawling back sometime after the launch of PS6 20 hours ago:
There’s no justification in the article for the second part of the title. Console exclusives have been a thing for decades because they work.
- Comment on Privacy isn’t dead: it’s just that tech companies have made it inconvenient 20 hours ago:
I can’t inconveniently ask mobile carriers to stop tracking my location 24/7. I can’t inconveniently ask credit card companies to stop tracking my purchases and a lot of places simply don’t accept cash anymore. I can’t inconveniently ask my car OEM to stop tracking me, and eventually there will be no old cars left or no parts available for them. I can’t ask my bank to disable SMS authentication. I can’t get a good job without forking over intimate details to sites like Indeed. I can’t inconveniently ask websites not to use browser fingerprinting to track my activity across the web, and there’s really no way to even block that effectively, either.
In some ways its inconvenient, in other ways its nearly impossible. Or expensive.

100GB. Its a lot but not really that unusual these days.
- Comment on Tesla's own AI trainers don't trust 'Full Self-Driving' or its safety stats, Reuters finds 1 day ago:
If you treat it like driver assistance its fine but probably not many people are capable of that, and the advertising is plainly fraudulent so…
- Comment on "What the f*** do I pay you for if that’s your opinion?" Gabe Newell reportedly once shouted at one of Valve's Lionel Hutzes during Steam porn debate 1 day ago:
This is clearly a clickbait hitpiece
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney throws shade at Valve / Gabe Newell for Steam Deck pricing 5 days ago:
Alternative title: guy causing hardware prices to go up insults competitor for raising prices.
- Comment on Intel Arc G-Series processors announced for next-gen handheld gaming PCs 6 days ago:
They seem to still be selling the $2k models just fine, and those cost 2x the top tier Steam Deck

Jacobin Mugatu?

The CEOs are getting paid. In America, that’s the only thing that matters.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
This doesn’t sound like it has anything to do with AI, but rather a Doordash integration that gave contractors transparency into order statuses. Which they then exploited to optimize efficiency for themselves.
- Comment on The PlayStation 5 Linux project has been upgraded to support more firmware 2 weeks ago:
This doesn’t really seem like a big deal. As of right now it only works on PS5s that have been stuck in a closet for several years. At least that’s my understanding.
Plus, why wouldn’t you just buy a PC to run Linux? Its not like PS5s are a great deal, financially.

- Comment on First Apple M5 memory exploit discovered using Anthropic AI, gives root access on MacOS 2 weeks ago:
What does any of this have to do with tricking the user?
- Comment on First Apple M5 memory exploit discovered using Anthropic AI, gives root access on MacOS 2 weeks ago:
If in order to get root, you just convince another user to give it to you, that is not an exploit.
- Comment on First Apple M5 memory exploit discovered using Anthropic AI, gives root access on MacOS 2 weeks ago:
trick a user into running
That doesn’t sound like an exploit at all. You can “trick a user” into running
sudo rm -rfas well. That’s not an exploit. - Comment on Mozilla using Claude Mythos AI Preview to help fix major security issues in Firefox 1 month ago:
Being they’ve been all-in on AI since the beginning, and it was omitted from their blog post, I’m gonna venture a guess that no one verified these supposed vulnerabilities.

Yeah I’m well aware. Both options are shit.

Thanks. I’m not entirely pro-piracy but in the case of Denuvo I will make an exception.

Nowhere is safe anymore.

The main issue isn’t even the technology itself, it’s that it’s Meta and owned by the Zuck.
There are a thousand corporations tripping over themselves to out-horrify the public.
I’m sure there are ways to engineer this so the data stays on device and use it for specific scientific purposes exclusively.
I’m sure there are but if you see one in public, how would you know? Best just to ban them all.
- Comment on Meta Is Warned That Facial Recognition Glasses Will Arm Sexual Predators 1 month ago:
them because the tech wasn’t there yet 10 years ago.
That’s not true. They didn’t take off because they boiled the frog too fast. They were rejected by polite society. That society is gone.
