Then any Chromecast or Firestick device that runs the Android TV OS will work fine. Just have to sideload the SmartTube app. Directions will vary by device, but it’s generally not too tough.
I believe the best cost to feature value is Walmart’s one. Don’t recall the name at the moment.
David Tennant’s performance in Jessica Jones stuck with me for a while. It took a while for me not to assume his characters would be evil after that, and I was already familiar with his run as The Doctor.
Dude, you’re getting banned because you’re being an asshat. Just downvote, block, and move on when you find that someone isn’t worth replying to. Lemmy is still small enough that you’ll filter out the people you personally consider shit quite quickly.
I wrote an article about the 3 games and just how good they are. Imo, they're extremely underrated. I really wanna play more games similar to it but I can't find much in the way of isometric collectathons(?) at all. Looking for any suggestions. Apologies if this isn't the right spot. GBA is retro right?...
You’ve got a bit of misunderstanding of how bitcoin works, and they definitely aren’t using the juryrigged supercomputer for unmasking. Most likely human analysts and investigators with some minor algorithmic help for analyzing tumbled transactions on the chain.
Bitcoin is inherently traceable. The entire concept of the blockchain originally was to have a distributed ledger of all transactions available and verifiable by anyone, so the banks couldn’t go “no that transaction never happened”.
The anonimity of being able to instantly and freely create wallets with little to no identifying info attached was a side purpose, but not a true purpose. Your wallet is effectively just a username they’d have to find a way to connect to your real identity.
All bitcoin transactions are auditable by anyone.
So most criminals use tumblers, scattering a transaction into irregular pieces that move across a shit ton of wallets before slowly making their way to the actual destination wallet.
But even those are traceable, just difficult. Over time and through seizing black market servers, intelligence agencies can build maps of what wallets match up to what. Sellers leaving donate links in forum signatures, finding the tumbler accounts from a seized market, etc. Then by using external info like knowledge of the payout amount and how many wallets its going to end up in, they can analyze the block chain ledger and connect the dots.
TL;DR- Bitcoin has always been psuedonymous, not actually anonymous, and is more easily traceable than other options by fucking design. You are only as anonymous as the distance between your real identity and your wallet address. Practice proper OpSec for shady business.
Who prevents him from buying an atomic weapon and setting it off for a meme stunt or internet points ?
You have to be joking.
Nearly every military in the world. Countless regulatory agencies. Intelligence agencies the world over. It’s pretty much known that the US made stuxnet to kill one country’s nuclear program. Do you seriously fucking think they wouldn’t stop a single billionaire?
There’s also the fact that even he’s not that insane, and any other billionaire out there who wouldn’t want the effects of a nuke going off to get in the way of their own shit.
If you were talking a dirty bomb, that might be within his reach. Buy some mines in third world countries, mine up some material, strap it to a conventional bomb. That’s also many orders of magnitude less severe (while still horrific). Also, most mining rights in areas with worthwhile radioactive material available have already been bought up by other entities with similar financial levels of backing.
Actual nukes require quite a bit more than just an explosive and some radioactive material to build anyway, and things like nuclear material refinement facilities are quite easily visible from satelite imagery. They also require specialized hardware that is closely monitored. Sure he could pay to reverse engineer and/or get it built. Good luck keeping that secret for as long as it would take.
The man’s a living embodiment of a chode with a diamond studded piercing. There’s plenty of shit to be upset at him about, or worried about, without getting anywhere close to this absurd. I sincerely hope that you weren’t being serious.
If you want shock factor, talk about the slave mines his family wealth comes from, and the slave mines where we source lithium from for EV batteries. Talk about the high frequency of using child soldiers as security for said mines, in addition to the child slave labor.
Talk about the highly likely intentional killing of Twitter by Saudi Arabian government’s investment into Musk as a retaliation for the Arab Spring and as a way to further control rapid information dissemination during crisises.
There’s real reasons to despise him, going for such extremely ridiculous exaggerations only hurts the point you’re trying to make.
Are you ok? You’ve doubled down on nonsense. Seriously, take a breath. Look into some treatment for anxiety.
The whole danger is that AI text generation doesn’t misspell, and comes across highly confidently.
There’s actual research out there on spotting AI generated text. Most of it is based off tone, frequency of some specific phrases, and sentence structure.
If you’re mixing this with the idea that spam emails and scamming comments are often misspelled, that’s done in an attempt to avoid word filters, and also to help ensure that people who fall for them are dumb enough not to notice, making them easy marks more likely to overlook other warning signs. If they aren’t trying to get you to take an action, or a coordinated push to manufacture consent, the chance of AI is low.
Also, the statistics about internet traffic you’re thinking about is about bots. That’s largely scripts and web scrapers, less so automated posters making arguments multiple levels down incredibly quiet threads on low user count social media like lemmy.
Your hypothetical is so amazingly absurd that I did not fully believe you were being serious until I saw your response.
I’m still wondering if this isn’t some sort of weird ass false flag attempt to make people who dislike Musk look like absolute raving loonies.
I tried to give you places to begin looking into things yourself so you (and anyone else as delusional as you) wouldn’t be worried about something so unlikely as to be effectively impossible.
I’m not doing that work for you, I’ve already had to sit through countless discussions of this shit in my lifetime. Multiple nuclear engineers in the (extended) family, have met members of the regulatory orgs through them, and that’s what my parents wanted me to grow up to be (I fucked off into computers though).
Beyond that, I tried to give you some stuff against Musk that’s far more rooted in reality than the wildest speculation.
But I really couldn’t give a shit what you talk about. I just dislike seeing people undermining legitimate points by throwing around absurd exageration. Especially when there’s plenty of legitimate criticisms and concerns out there about Musk.
Please, do go on about how he’s going to somehow outsmart intelligence agencies that took out an entire country’s nuclear program with a single goddamn computer virus. At this point it’s just entertaining.
Lol, that’s not how this works. Unless you plan to either take away a shit ton of people’s voting rights, or to just kill them, you have to “play the crowd”.
That’s just how this shit works. As long as enough “deplorables” exists to tip the scales, you have to address them somehow, not pretend they don’t matter because they’re wrong.
Obama understood that there’s a massive amount of the voterbase unhappy with how things were, and campaigned on a generic idea of change, appealing to frustrated people on both sides of the aisle.
Talking down to people or calling them names isn’t a good strategy to get them to cooperate.
Unfortunately all you can do is try to thicken your skin and attempt to “manage upwards”.
“I appreciate the feedback and I’ll bear that in mind in the future, but there’s nothing I can do about this months later. Next time let me know when I still have an opportunity to correct the issue and I’ll gladly course-correct.”
And refuse to sign the review. Be specific that you don’t accept being penalized for mistakes you made months before you were told the rule.
You can push back while being polite and professional in some places, so it’s worth a shot if you’re already being shit on or are on the way out.
If you’ve tried it and gotten nowhere though, just disengage and try to stop caring so much.
Your manager’s failure to communicate is their problem, not yours.
That’s pretty much what the Xbox has been since the beginning. The original runs fucking directX and runs so similarly to PCs of the era under the hood that porting shit to it is famously easy. It’s why the homebrew scene for it was so mind bogglingly huge.
Numerous times at E3 when they had demo units of new consoles people saw that the debug menus meant for staff were some mangled form of the current (at the time) Windows OS.
Most modern game consoles don’t use much specialty hardware anymore. The OG Switch uses the nvidea shield CPU just downclocked, and can run android easily. Some emulators literally run better on the Switch through Android than as homebrew “native” apps.
Been meaning to ask, are you limiting yourself to the GBC palette? Either way, these look nice.
If you do any of the ones with japanese text in them, there’s a romhack that translates the text in the photos, so you could use the translated ones as your base if you want.
Given what you’re describing, this sounds a lot like my wife’s issues with anemia. It’s nothing super major, but worth looking into with your doctor. Usually can find out with a basic blood test.
That’s cool, but I think I’ll stick to watching them at home. I like the machete viewing order a lot, and being able to use the Harmy “Despecialized Edition” fan cut of New Hope is wonderful. (Need to check if he ever completed any of the other movies with that treatment).
Personally if I’m going to watch through with the in universe timeline order, I like to mix in some of the side shows and movies, which makes it far too long for an extended continuous viewing anyway.
And here we have yet another point towards religions being at least partly “how to survive” guides in ancient times, and there still being good secular life lessons that can be learned from them.
I’m religious as well (with the same command for a day of rest), but even when I was not, I could recognize the potential social, community, and moral benefits.
There’s a lot of bullshit, and a lot of assholes out there looking for any backing they can use to be self-righteous about their asshole beliefs. But there’s still good rattling around too. Like I love Christianity’s core rule that effectively says “Don’t be a shithead to people unless you want them to be shitheads back”. Wish more Christians could live that. It’s not the only plainly practical advice either.
I also personally believe that there’s a lot of problems in society stemming from the general disconnection that most people have from any source of local community and the people living around them. Communities definitely don’t need a local religious organization to gather around, but historically they were cornerstones. In the modern world we’ve moved on from them without much concentrated effort to backfill the benefits that have been lost.
I think most people have moved on to other programs past VLC. I think the “informed nerd choice” is MPC Classic now for videos, but don’t quote me on that.
For music, the last time I checked it was MusicBee. Intensely customizable, tons of skins, visualizers, and some (kinda janky) support for WinAmp visualizers.
The milkdrop visualizer format is still around and kicking, but yeah, visualizers aren’t built into nearly any desktop software anymore.
I have an old formative memory of a big crt TV sitting on the corner of the librarian front desk (I think in elementary school?) with really mesmerizing animations on it. Looking back, they were definitely some sort of procedurally animated art thing, or much more likely they were music visualizers. Maybe given the year they were just VHS’s of trippy computer graphics in the same style that we’d eventually see with visualizers.
No matter what it was, it sparked a lifelong interest in that sort of art and style.
Damn, I should pick back up my old Processing language image manipulation projects. Can do some real trippy stuff really easily by just doing arbitrary math on pixel color values and x,y coordinates.
Anyone know of any glitch art communities on lemmy?
I use EAC- Exact Audio Copy. It’s definitely more hardcore than the average person needs, including features for testing the physical capabilites of your disc drive and having settings for detecting and attempting to re-read CD sectors that have errors, but after you set it up you can easily rip to .flac (lossless, technically the best format to rip to, but larger) or to .mp3 vbr0 (99.9% of people can’t tell the quality difference from flac, and it’s much smaller size).
Ugh

Anyone know any games similar to the Spyro GBA ones? Isometric collectathons? I need more like this.

I really wanna play more games similar to it but I can't find much in the way of isometric collectathons(?) at all. Looking for any suggestions. Apologies if this isn't the right spot.
