I read it as credibility with Russia’s citizens. They believed that their government will prevent any attack coming to Russian soil.

Eh when the founders are dead long enough, people stop caring. Ex: Chanel

No they’re not!

I might have worded my comment poorly. I did not mean to insinuate that it was “safer” but that there is more variety. That is, it is easier to find 18th century toaster porn today than back in the 2000s.

The porn landscape has changed quite a bit since the 2000s:

• Accessibility: In those days people had the “family computer” which limited the time you could access porn and had to be extra careful as to not get caught. Nowadays you can see porn on a plethora of devices and can basically see porn 24/7.
• Variety: Nowadays you can find porn for anything and it can get pretty dark. Porn addicts get bored of regular porn and go down a dark rabbit hole. Back in the day you had to make due with what you get or go through a lot of effort to find something you like more.

Mind you I am not saying that porn should be outright banned but there should be barriers in place. Example porn can only use the domain “xxx” so parents can add the filter to the parenting controls of whatever devices. Sure there are ways to circumvent that but it at least takes more effort.

But wouldn’t them buying all the rights to “basically everything” incentivise them more to jack up prices and include ads since the user base has no legal alternatives ?

The Autopilot was in TRAINing mode

Yeah, has me confused as well

Let me fill you in. The article details how the games you own change. If you own a Zelda game and get this prosthetic it changes to a Tomb Raider game.

Ah wasn’t aware of the ability to change assistants. I stand corrected!

Not sure what the surprise is. It is a device that needs you to sign into an account and have an internet connection. Ie it is just a dumb terminal. Kind of like how Alexa speakers are useless without an internet connection. All the processing is done on servers.

Even if it was not an android app, you probably could have made a clone of it since you are basically interacting with a web api.

In their defence the device has the advantage of giving you instant access to their ai through the touch of a button whilst on phones you would need to physically open the app as the “assistant” functionality is already reserved to Siri, Bixby, etc. EDIT: I wasn’t aware you can change assistants.

Personally I like the concept if the processing was done within the device, but considering you need monster machines to run llms I guess we are least decades away from that reality.

The fact they chose india is probably for the low wages. So I wouldn’t get my hopes up.

Sounds pretty gay*

Speaking metaphorically they basically have to create “doors” for the hundreds of “walls” they made to originally prevent this.

I say “doors” since they will probably make them oddly shaped and hard to access to still make it difficult to allow you in.

I am guessing noone is suing discord for hosting these groups were Nintendo might be threatening a lawsuit for hosting these devs.

So not a matter of morals but self-preservation.

Follow the white rabbit

And they are all judging you.

Yeah helix has become my main editor since it comes with batteries included. I do miss the vim bindings though.

I am currently in the process of setting up nix but it is a bit of rabbit hole.

The kicker is that the devices are usually locked down so even if you have the motivation to get your hands dirty, you can’t. The device dies as soon as support dies.

Comments don’t count
