Those better sources for you?

It’s not three straight rows of keys with the other buttons on a fourth row at the bottom. That’s what BB had a design patent for.

Nokia had quite a few, the E-line (e.g E6, E63, E71) being some of the most “blackberry” looking ones.

BB didn’t have a patent on the idea of a keyboard on a phone, but they did (do?) have a design patent for one of the most optimal layouts and dancing around it was tricky and risky. Or you can just be Typo, directly rip off a BB keyboard, and act surprised when you get sued.

My HTC Desire Z (aka T-Mobile G2) got many years of extra use as a dedicated emulation machine for exactly that reason.

Yes. But it’s better than being identified as a unique user which is much more likely without it. You can test it yourself on https://amiunique.org/fingerprint

You should definitely not try to find info on how to take your Kindle on a WinterBreak ;)

They are also frequency-hopping, meaning they constantly switch what part of the band they use, and there are a few rc radio protocols use a dual frequency system for redundancy. FRsky has one that does 2.4Ghz and 900Mhz at the same time.

So to make sure you are jamming all (commercial) drones, you need to deafen everything from ~850Mhz up to 5.9Ghz.

Also Android has an option to allow numbers that call you twice in 15 minutes to get through as well, which they would do anyway if there is an actual emergency, and someone is really trying to reach you asap.

Way too many apps implement a hide/mute functionality and then call it a “block”, though.

If I block someone, I don’t want to simply hide their messages from my view, I want them to not be able to see and interact with mine. It should be a restraining order, not just sticking your fingers into your own ears and shouting “LALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU” while they continue to shout slander to anyone passing by.

Sources say.

Because the United States Board on Geographic Names now says so, as demanded by Trump by Order No. 3423. They are the government body that defines what places are officially called.

But unless you are a US federal employee, as Nick Fury once said, “I recognize the council has made a decision, but given that it’s a stupid-ass decision, I’ve elected to ignore it.”

Yeah, out of all the generative AI fields, voice generation at this point is like 95% there in its capability of producing convincing speech even with consumer level tech like ElevenLabs. That last 5% might not even be solvable currently, as it’s those moments it gets the feeling, intonation or pronunciation wrong when the only context you give it is a text input, which is why everything purely automated tends to fall apart quite fast.

Especially voice cloning - the DRG Cortana Mission Control mod is one of the examples I like to use.

First people didn’t really understand computers, so we taught about them to children - back in late 90’s when I was in school, we had a few school years of dedicated computer classes every week.
People then started to assume kids just “know” computers (“digital native” and all that) and we stopped teaching them because hey, they know it already.

And now we are suddenly surprised that kids don’t know how to use computers.

LLM is a type of a machine learning model, which is a type of artificial intelligence.

Saying LLMs aren’t AI is just the AI Effect in action.

Something that pretends or looks like intelligence, but actually isn’t at all is a perfectly valid interpretation of the word artificial - fake intelligence.

Notice this place? Lemmy?
The place made because "Fuck the white supremacist Reddit admins, want me to set up a self hosted one for /r/communism?"

That place?

It will make it look more fluid. It will feel like it’s running at a lower framerate, and at the framerates BG3 runs at on the Deck, around 25fps or 40ms per frame, the increase would be quite noticeable.

NFS Most Wanted, the original, is fantastic, though it requires manual installation as it’s not on Steam.

Sadly the redux modpack version is just a bit too heavy as it includes a bunch of shaders and stuff you can’t disable. It runs, but you get maybe two hours. Vanilla barely taxes the deck.

But only hackers and cheaters use Linux, didn’t you know???

In our efforts to combat cheating in Apex, we’ve identified Linux OS as being a path for a variety of impactful exploits and cheats. As a result, we’ve decided to block Linux OS access to the game. While this will impact a small number of Apex players, we believe the decision will meaningfully reduce instances of cheating in our game.
