My memory is pretty hazy but the cheat application emulated the process that teachers used to do a system reset.

Iirc, it let you press menu, select reset, confirm, and showed the (fake) confirmation screen.

Also IIRC, you had to install it from Mirage OS, which I don’t think was an OS (?) but rather an app that everyone had to play games from.

They did that here too, but students would use a cheat program that made it look like teachers were resetting it, but really the memory was safe

Is there a minimum system requirements? I have bare metal nextcloud on a raspi 4, 4 GB ram, and it’s pretty snappy.

I would consider migrating to the AIO version for more stability but IDK what toll the virtualization would take.

There is a good Adam Savage video on yt about the engineering of the thunderbolt or whatever cables.

They still should be shipped in bulk to the store but it makes more sense why they wouldn’t be given away free

Afaik they’re a discount brand? That you have to buy from Newegg? But I’m glad there is at least one option!

Lol they absolutely are subsidized. Look how expensive non-smart TVs are new

We say this now but in 5 years, cars could go the way of smart TVs… sold at prices subsidized by advertisers.

Thanks for succinctly explaining what thunderbolt is

Skype was annoying to use and so is element

HMD not allowing bootloader unlocks is indefensible

“Being better than human drivers” is such a low bar because human drivers are terrible. But even if AI cars do better statistically, the mistakes they do make are so strange and preventable, it really makes you think.

Just because something is safer statistically doesn’t mean it doesn’t need to be better. Heck maybe the whole system needs to be better.

You can argue for both automation and fair treatment for workers. For example, if gas lamps become electric, you could give the lamplighters some time or new training to find a new job. I’m sure a labor academic would know better how to navigate jobs being obsoleted, but the answer to technologic progress isn’t “keep taxi drivers at all costs” it’s “protect taxi drivers from corporations”

Can you imagine all the troll farms automatically using all this power

Not Y tube, just Y. As in Y???

That’s hilarious because Dexerto is a plausible name for it lol

Upon reading your comment I couldn’t figure out what it meant.

Now I think that X’s new video thing isn’t called Dexerto.

A website called Dexerto reported on the story.

Now did I get it right?

Should have called it Y

I do kind of like how it makes mastodon feel smaller since I cannot interact with or post quote replies, unlike Tumblr or Twitter. Those sometimes accrue millions of interactions. But it is a choice that will keep Mastodon small

Jah, cool! Yeah there’s a whole other set of problems for people with real followings… Not good

From what I can tell from within the Mastodon echo chamber: quote replies and moderation
