Sponsorblock's been epic! Props to the coder and the contributors.

Why is Firefox getting involved in ads? 💵? To reduce their dependence on Google's payment for keeping Google as the default search engine?

Exfat if you wanna use your usb drive on Macos or Linux.

I have Windows so I'm OK with Ntfs.

[-] drawerair@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

About 10 years ago, my usb drive was Fat32 by default. I changed it to Ntfs due to Fat32's 4-GB cap. 1080p movies that were 4+ GB were getting more widespread then. I'm using Ntfs till now.

I'm awaiting the day a firm makes a practical quantum computer. I'll be stoked on that day. Idk how folks will write programs for it or if the idea of "program" will apply to it at all. Will it make things faster? Like compiling code or frames per second in gaming?

👍 article. Firebricks may accelerate our transition to sustainable energy.

Was the tablet's touchscreen as responsive as iPad's? What was the operating system? If Windows, I can see how it failed. Previous versions of Windows were mouse-and-keyboard-first. I think Windows 8 was the 1st to truly consider touch and iPados was still better.

Microsoft had an Arm Surface device a few years ago. It had a 💩 chip.

I viewed "let's play" series of Alan Wake 1 and 2. Just wanna share my thoughts re AW2. There are spoilers below.

So much reading. Yes, you can skip a lot of those. Yes, the title is Alan Wake 2 and Wake is a writer. But a gamer who very much dislikes reading may be turned off or think "I may be missing much by skipping most of the reading, so I'll drop this game."

It seems Alice is alive. So she's been living sans Alan for 13 years minimum. Extremely :(. I wanted a :) end for them. I can imagine an AW2 where the year is 2013 instead of 2023, and Alan was able to escape the "dark place" in 2013 and live with Alice happily. The writer (I dislike Sam Lake's writing so I'm not saying Sam Lake) can figure out the plot gymnastics in between to make the game so interesting.

Scratch slew Jaakko Koskela so easyyy. So powerful. He could just slay Anderson, Casey, Cult of the tree and the Fbc at the start.

The Fbc's light arrays placed far from each other outside the sheriff's station were plot convenience.

Anderson aided Wake with writing the end despite Wake inserting Logan and David in the tale. Meh.

Sarah and Barry were sidelined. :(

Sam Lake most likely disliked a fairy-tale :) end for AW2 but don't say that in horror, the hero must pay a price to save his pals (or something like that) like it's a rule.

It's time.com's best 2023 game but it's 👎 for me.

Thanks.

The problem says “Some boxes hold 10 clips and some boxes hold 100. He has some clips left over.” I think it’s a poorly worded problem but let’s just suppose that “some” means 2 minimum. I read a comment that went like “If you’ll say that there are some donuts and I’ll find out there’s only 1 or 0 donut, I’ll be disappointed.” Sensible.

It’s assumed that Brian put clips in boxes as much as possible, so the number of leftovers is less than 10.

x2 = x1 + 3

n = x2 − 2

x2 should be 5 minimum

The total number of clips is 523, 634, 745, 856, 967, 1078 or 1189.

I asked Llama 3.1 (405b), Claude 3.5 sonnet and Chatgpt 4o after I solved it. I edited the problem to improve it. I was curious if any of those could solve it. Claude 3.5 sonnet and Chatgpt 4o did. Llama 3.1 (405b) got 523 but didn’t talk re the other answers. A follow-up of “Are there other answers?” yielded all the 7 answers.

I'm thinking re the latest vid of @mindyourdecisions

No need to view his vid. Here's the problem –

Brian has some boxes of paper clips. Some boxes hold 10 clips and some boxes hold 100. He has some paper clips left over. He has 3 more boxes with 100 paper clips than he has boxes with 10 paper clips. He has 2 fewer paper clips left over than he has numbers of boxes with 100 paper clips. What number of paper clips could he have?

  • let x1 be the number of boxes with 10 clips
  • x2 be the number of boxes with 100 clips
  • n be the number of leftover clips

I thought of 100x2 = 10x1 + 300

Is that equation right? Something tells me I shouldn't equate 100x2 to 10x1 plus 300. Something tells me I shouldn't make an equation re number of clips as it isn't explicit in the problem. I'm confused.

Frequently unresponsive or very unstable apps shouldn't have been in the Play store in the 1st place.

Anyway, to the Play store's credit, I downloaded many bank apps and I never got a fake bank app.

Been using Samsung messages for years, not Google messages, but I just wanna comment.

I'm OK with it. It's been an ai race. It's natural that Google is taking advantage of the millions of Android phones and of the fact that many are using Google messages and Gmail. Adding Gemini to Google messages is sensible to me. I just hope it won't be annoying.

Gmail has been my main email but I didn't see Gemini in it. Maybe in the future?

[-] drawerair@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

These news articles support my idea that Google doesn't care re privacy. I've been using a Samsung phone, which has Android. Android has permissions re cam, location, 🎙 and others, but I won't be :o if Google can bypass all the privacy features if it wants my data.

I'm an avid Marques fan, but for me, he didn't have to make that vid. It was just a set of comparisons. No new info. No interesting discussion. Instead he should've just shared that Wired podcast episode on his X.

I wonder if Apple is making their own large language model (llm) and it'll be released this year or next year. Or are they still musing re the cost-benefit analysis? If they think that an Apple llm won't earn that much profit, they may not make 1.

Dave said that the Ally (not Ally x) was too cheap, maybe. Maybe Asus didn't include the cost of customer help in it. Hence the warranty issues.

I'm not convinced. Asus is a big firm. If they mistakenly made the Ally too cheap, they could eat the cost of customer help. It's just right to provide 👍 warranty service. And the Ally is their 1st handheld. They wanted to build a 👍 reputation. Also, other Asus items had warranty issues. They must fix their internal process.

It's a long vid. I suggest prepping your fav drink before viewing.

It's re Nvidia's new gpu architecture for ai, NVlink switch, RAS diagnostics and other Nvidia announcements.

Nvidia knows it's the star of the backbone of the current ai boom and seems to be going full steam. I'm hoping for more innovations on tools for ai and gaming in the future.
