Mini PC maker "AceMagic" ships systems with factory-installed spyware
  • Toms has never claimed to be perfect but they are one of the last places you can look to for some very detailed breakdowns that don’t involve scrubbing through a youtube video.

    Back on topic, calling it spyware is a slap on the wrist. Metas tracking pixel is spyware. What was found was a keylogger, password stealer, and cryptowallet key stealer that was baked into the initial windows install and recovery partition.

  • Andrew Tate is a symptom, not the problem’: why young men are turning against feminism
  • Not saying you are wrong. In my view, having grown up under the system of being a disposable male, seeing something like “mens mental health day cancelled because of lack of female representation” https://www.theguardian.com/education/2015/nov/17/row-after-university-of-york-cancels-international-mens-day-event is right on par with what I grew up with and honestly what we should be working against.

    I do agree media has their hand on the scale making things worse. That said, media isn’t the sole contributor to the problem. Foisting the responsibility onto an amplifier ignores the baseline sentiment.

  • Removed
    Will Technology Replace Teachers In The Future?
  • Used it to explain stuff during my full stack bootcamp. It is immensely helpful when you have an idea of what you don’t know but are unsure what question you need to ask to find the answer. Even better when you know what function you need from a different language but don’t know what it’s called and has some esoteric name you cba to remember.

    If a libraries docs are indexed it also helps quickly find the method you need to implement.

    LLMs will likely always have a place as a supporting technology during and after education.

  • Palworld is now the second ever game to hit 2 million concurrent players on Steam
  • I took Pokemon Legends Arceus to 100%. I can firmly say Palworld has a better loop than PLA.

    We were almost capped on Palworld and reset our server yesterday. I have spent over a dozen hours since our reset playing the game. I would have put PLA down permanently if I was almost done with the 100% dex and lost my save data. I am missing 2 achievements on Horizon Zero Dawn on steam for that exact reason.

    Early access is fine if you look at the game as it is now instead of thinking about “what it will be”.

  • Three years after the January 6 attack, propaganda about the insurrection is poisoning the American public
  • To continue upon others threads. In theory, on paper. You are correct. In practice, that was left behind decades ago. Back in the 1940s the Christian Right began to coalesce. In the 70s it became a prominent voting bloc. Cut to present day and you have preachers telling their congregation who to vote for because they have a wink and a smile contract. Hurt the people we hate and we will give you power.

  • 2023 was the year that GPUs stood still
  • We had hardware getting massive leaps for years. Problem is, devs got used to hardware having enough grunt to overcome lack of optimizations. Now we got shit coming out barely holding 60+ on 4080s and requiring usage of FSR or DLSS as a bandaid to make the game get back to playable framerates.

    If you’ve got 30 series or 7000 series from AMD you don’t need to look for a more performant card, you need devs to put in time for polish and optimization before launch and not 6 months down the line IF the game is a commercial success.

  • How to sync desktop like onedrive, but not one drive?
  • While eating lunch I remembered network topologies. I am using Syncthing in a Spoke network. The hub knows all endpoints. Each endpoint knows the hub, but doesn’t know there are other endpoints.

  • How to sync desktop like onedrive, but not one drive?
  • I have had a mesh setup end up with one device throwing old files across the entire mesh and it took me an entire hour to fix and get replication working correctly again. So right now I have all devices connecting to my plex server only, no mesh. If a device updates, it goes to my server then propagates to my other devices.

    This lets every device be able to update a file or pull back updates. Because the plex server is the sole adjudicator of changes, I dont have to deal with any file mismatches or keep a single source as read-only.

  • How to sync desktop like onedrive, but not one drive?
  • syncthing is what I use to replicate projects, notes, etc between my linux desktop, macbook, ipad and cell phone.

    Everything routes into my plex server so I have one authoritative register of changes. If all you want is to tell a program “backup this folder”, can’t get much more straightforward than syncthing

  • Motoring MMO The Crew is going offline in March, making it impossible to play
  • No one “called it”. Pretending always-online, server sided games will “always exist” is akin to saying the sun didn’t set because your eyes were closed.

    If profitable MMOs being shuttered wasn’t the canary in the coal mine then you have been blind for a long, long time.

  • Some impressive level up
  • Im gonna go on a bit of a logical leap here using current information regarding The Completionist. Karl Jobst and SomeOrdinaryGamers released their initial findings regarding the charity fraud in their own videos. As they have each found info that develops the situation, they release another video pointed at that specific information. Karl does a high level whereas Mutahar does deep dives so his videos take a couple days longer to emerge.

    In this instance, they are releasing one video pointing one finger at one issue at one creator rather than a 4 hour compilation at nearly half a dozen people covering dozens of complaints. Bald mans video, at the very least, has hallmarks of a compilation rather than any actual investigative value.

  • Steam cloud unable to sync

    Every time I launch a game on GFN I get the error that steam cloud is unable to sync so all my saves are being locked in GFN. Anyone have any idea how to resolve this?
