  • Voice control is dangerous

    Jump

  • I’ve since revoked that access.

    A few releases ago they made it so you can DEFAULT new entities NOT to be controlled by the VA.. I cleared ALL entities and changed the setting. I only add things one at a time to voice control now.

    SO many integrations ad switches it is a high risk to default the VA to have access to all new ones.

  • I am in the camp that there is a benefit to the managed store. Since moving family members to iOS devices the number of times they have loaded malware or asked me for help installing ANYTHING dropped to zero.

    Should techies be able to side load if they want? Sure, should that be a primary install method? No.

  • Epic isn't wrong about Apples payment requirements being BS, but Epic also isn't exactly a hero here.

    Will be interesting to see how this pissing match plays out over time.

    Should you be able to use other payment providers outside of apple pay YES!

    Should you be able to install other APP stores on an iPhone? Not sure.

  • Noncoders are using AI to prompt their ideas into reality. They call it 'vibe coding.'

    Jump

  • I like the story’s coming out where the AI puts the API keys for expensive pay per use services in plane text or creates ultra inefficient code that makes unnecessary calls.

  • Why is my Dreamcast displaying tiny with a new HDMI cable?

    Jump

  • And I meant choppy like lines and such. Should’ve said “crispness”. The game plays flawlessly on the tv with no output issues.

    You probably need to take a picture, you might be describing that the output is 480i interlaced where every other line is drawn and some modern TVs will render that badly. In which case it is a deinterlacing issue.

    Take a look at this link some games support 240p output mode..

  • Why is my Dreamcast displaying tiny with a new HDMI cable?

    Jump

  • If your TV has a crappy upscale then you can look into external hardware, however seems odd this is making it choppy, does your TV have a low latency GAME mode?

  • Why is my Dreamcast displaying tiny with a new HDMI cable?

    Jump

  • I’ll have to check the display mode on the tv and see if any other options exist. I did play it in Fill mode which kept the 4:3 resolution but I feel like that sorta defeats the purpose of using hdmi.

    Well no? You are getting a digital signal which will be MUCH clearer than analog RCA.. Upscaling / fill mode is the Only way to make it bigger.

    What’s your ultimate unpopular opinion?

    Jump

  • They used to be more lax, the current rules are more strict because it IS a problem and there are studies showing it to be. Hence the lower BAC limits.

  • Does Anyone Else Find the Sega Genesis' Sound Annoying?

    Jump

  • I always thought the SNES music was over all nicer, however some Genesis titles had some rocking tunes.

    • Why? this is important as it will probably eliminate some options.
    • What? What do you expect? Do you have specific clients you want to work (iOS mail app?, Samsung mail app? etc), are you good with a 3rd party app? Web interface only? Do you have or want a custom domain or are you migration to @newcompanyhostingme.com?
    • Price? What is your budget? Outside a hand full of options that sell your info to be free almost everything else has a cost.

  • What percentage of people you've met do you consider a genuinely good person? Someone you could trust your life with if need be?

    Jump

  • There is a big difference between a good person that will not intentionally do you harm and is happy to help vs one that would enter risk to save you in life or death.

    I know lots of people I am confident would do me no harm and treat me well. I know a few that do not care / can’t be trusted.

    As for my life that is fairly limited to select family and a few friends.

  • Why didn't oil fired steam locomotives take off?

    Jump

  • I don't even need to do the math, you would have two liquids, one you are boiling for steam and one you are using for fuel.. Replace that ALL with fuel..

  • uBlock Origin is no longer available in the Chrome store

  • Firefox was stubborn enough not to support H.265 till JUST recently and only on windows.. Doesn't work with my 4k security cameras as well as Chrome or Safari based browsers.

  • uBlock Origin is no longer available in the Chrome store

    Jump

  • But ublock origin lite is by the same dev.. Not as many features but it conforms to the new rules and is still much better than not having a blocker if you use chrome or edge.

  • OpenOMF v0.7.0 released

  • OpenOMF is an Open Source remake of "One Must Fall 2097" by Diversions Entertainment.

  • console = network, game = content.. is my argument.

    IE Nintendo was happy to sell more units with Sega content, and sega moving to software / content had no choice but to sell on other platorms.

    I’m not sure if Nintendo would get a percent of a 3rd party devs profits.

    Nintendo makes money on EVERY cart sold and every electronic purchase.. it is a major part of their EXPENSIVE model and why Nintendo platform games always seem more expensive. It is also why they still sell cart based systems so they are the ONLY supplier of the media, but now they have their own eStore as well.

  • Nintendo allowed Sega’s Sonic Heroes to compete with Super Mario Sunshine on their own game conosle

    99% sure that only happened after Sega stopped making competing consoles. IE more game content benefited their console platform
