Something to think about. GeForce Now isn’t about making it so you can play video games no matter your own hardware. It’s a test bed to show that cloud based hardware rental is a viable and achievable goal for the likes of Micro$oft etc. it’s a proof of concept for those companies to “show” that people would be “happier” renting their hardware than buying personal computers.

Long term goal is to price the average user out of the computer market and have them just buy a dumb terminal to do their computing on. This will also have average income gamers not able to buy a PC and instead be forced to rent one. This was M$ goal about 20 yrs ago, but internet speeds weren’t good enough for the ~30% if the population of the world they care about. These days we are getting much closer to that being a high enough % of people with good enough internet to start pricing people out of their luxury gaming PCs. And eventually grandma is going to be buying a preset Chromeb00k style laptop to connect to a subscription based service so she can check her email.

Been drinking tonight, but this idea has been sticking with me for more than a year, punctuated by the recent Micron public statement.

And Ollama.

And for those who like story mode, Ollama paired with Sillytavern gets you a storytelling AI.

There is YouTube++ or YTlitePlus. They haven’t been updated in a while but do work as long as return downvote for shorts is disabled.

I consider it worth it for an ad free utub sideload as well as a manga app I found through AltStore. The utub on its own was worth it.

For sure should be fine connection wise, maybe it is the connection on the ground that starlink has a connection with. Not meaning at your coworker’s place, but on the ISP end. Unfortunately not something that can really be addressed.

Very interesting, I’ve done full zoom lessons for hours and almost never had connectivity issues like that. Our dish has full open sky view, so that may be part of a difference, as well I think it’s the first version of the dish, not one of the later ones.

Have been using starlink for more than 2 years at this point and can confirm from my view that there are very few connection issues. I’ve almost never looked at my connection as the issue when gaming since getting it. It either went down completely for a few hours (2 times I can remember) or was very solid.

EDIT: Not excusing or fanboying for Musk, as his personal direction has been questionable in recent years. But talking about the technology perspective.

Interesting point of view. I’ll think on it.

After some reading, I realize my mistake. It’s not segregation, it’s self-segregation, as per: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-segregation

Agreed that it is not the legal definition of segregation. It is segregation by choice in my own opinion. Because we refuse to move forwards as a world.

Yay! Segregation again!!! /s I guess we go backwards because people are incapable of moving forwards.

There is a new tribes game being made now. Play testing on steam if you are willing to try the new one.

Thanks for the insight. I’ll make sure to update things on my end asap.

Reading the article I’m a bit confused, can someone confirm for me that it only affects windows running with Japanese, Traditional Chinese, or simplified Chinese locales? Not other locales.

You may want to try and put some prompts yourself into chatGPT to see the results without making an uninformed comment based on what you perceive chatGPT will do/answer.

The difference between Tianamen and things that have happened, like the gulf war etc. is that we are allowed to discuss disparate views without being thrown in jail. And tools/toys like chatGPT are allowed to try to write an opinion on them.

Agreed, but not a “charge overnight for years” but no degradation at all.

Impossible for battery health to be at 100% after years. May still be working great, but not 100%.

There is one app that runs the model on an iPhone. It’s called “draw things: ai generation“. But you aren’t wrong about AI image generation usually needing a gaming pc or at least a video card with a lot of video ram to hold the model in while it works.

Want to echo what was said here. RAID is not a backup solution. RAID is for always on capability. Do not use RAID as a way to keep valuable data safe. Just have double the drive space and keep a backup of the data on the second drive.

That makes more sense, and a bit beyond my depth as well. But this is not the sites issue at this point, just some honest questions about the online fix.
I was under the impression we needed the online fix for it to work with other legitimate players. It doesn’t make sense to have an online fix if one isn’t needed. I’ll look into that part more, but I can see it being titled ransomware if they redirect queries to another server to make them go to the legit server and bypass the legit check.
Still depends on if we needed the online fix or not from the beginning, and then the question becomes, “how did they make the online check work, and where does it redirect to?”
