Nawor3565 , 2 months ago to Technology in A new NES emulator was briefly available on the Apple App Store

I highly doubt it. The NES has been completely reverse engineered for decades, there really isn't any reason to use proprietary code for an emulator for it.

That's true, but this is also ensuring that people can vet whatever they get out of an AI and make sure it isn't just hallucinated garbage

Assuming I'm understanding correctly, only a few states allow people to vote in a primary for a party that they're not registered as. Honestly, I'm not sure why any states still allow that, because I wouldn't want any registered Republicans voting in the Democratic primary any more than the other way around.

I think Google Voice still gives out a free phone number as long as you tie it to your actual phone number. I used it for Craigslist all the time years ago to avoid giving out my actual number

I mean, they never claimed it was to protect users. It was to protect their user's data from being used without paying Reddit. They didn't like that AI companies were using Reddit content as a free source of training data, they never gave a shit about their users' privacy.

I wouldn't expect much sound, water is very dense so only very low frequencies can effectively travel through it. From the pictures, this thing doesn't seem big enough to make much of an impact in that regard. As for marine life, it would probably be a matter of how fast it travels underwater, which the article unfortunately doesn't mention.

The reason they aren't is because methods for cracking DRM like Widevine are kept extremely secret so that the exploits don't get patched. It does mean that a lot of content is locked to whatever the scene decides is worth their time to crack and distribute, but if anyone made the methods they use public, they would stop working very quickly.

Funny. That sounds exactly like how they tried to use "intelligence tests" to prevent Black people from voting. The questions didn't explicitly exclude Black people, but we're written in a vague and subjective way so that the test-giver could claim that any answer was right/wrong and thereby exclude anyone they wanted.

Nawor3565 , 5 months ago to Technology in Bloomberg: Apple targets 2028 release date for its own electric vehicle

Pretty much every smaller Android manufacturer only gives two years of updates. Google and Samsung are the biggest two, and it's great that they're giving longer support, but if you want to try another manufacturer (Asus, for example), you're getting two years.

Nawor3565 , 5 months ago to Technology in Bloomberg: Apple targets 2028 release date for its own electric vehicle

Look, I dislike Apple's walled-garden as much as the next guy, but let's give credit where it's due. Apple has been phenomenal at supporting its older devices, much longer than most Android manufacturers. The iPhone 7 only recently stopped getting updates, and it was from 2016. The standard for Androids is still 2 years, so when it comes to long term device support, the point undeniably goes to Apple.

To be fair, I'm guessing the majority of Pi's are used headless anyway. Plus even the older Optiplexes have DVI, which is just HDMI without the audio or fancy stuff like ARC. Won't be getting 4K or anything, but still a very good video output and IMO adequate for almost all use cases.

Nawor3565 , 10 months ago to Privacy in Google seems to be blocking API access for Piped video servers

Not to be a downer but... how did people not anticipate this happening? Google is likely going to do everything they can to shut down non-official clients like Piped, since they're sidestepping all of YouTube's revenue streams. Hopefully they don't take the nuclear option and somehow lock down the API and make it much harder to download videos via tools like yt-dlp.

I've been wanting to do this for awhile after having problems with the cooling coils freezing over. My question is, what sensor would you use for this? A battery-powered one would need to be recharged and a wire running into the fridge would break the seal
