Scraper can grab video game maps and manuals automatically as part of it’s process if you want them for older games.

The whole cart and horse thing

I also wouldn’t say it’s sketchy. It’s just the overall political leaning of a lot of Lemmy is relatively left leaning and having those measures in place kind of demonstrates the vibe the instance is trying to create.

The level of censorship is going to be different depending on your instance and where you are posting to. A lot of instances are managed by individuals or small teams out of passion. They can do as they please and don’t have to pander to everyone for commercial appeal like Reddit or Tumblr. If someone doesn’t like what they’re doing they can join a different instance or create their own.

Instances can defederate from each other over these differences. A lot are defederated from the instance Exploding Heads because of their alt right content for example. From what I understand you can also report content to the administrators of your instance if it goes against their rules and I think they can remove it from appearing on your instance (or block the user that posted it). This isn’t going to stop it from appearing elsewhere.

What do you enjoy about it? I’ve never played a Final Fantasy game

Once I’m at that point I wouldn’t really be looking for that kind of precision. Just something roughly in that range.

Every so often I stumble across cables that are a tad thicker than others (usually they came with cheap electronics) so I know they are floating around out there. They’re just not labelled as being this way.

Hell yeah. I tried to train one to feed me misinformation and encourage bad habits like drinking and driving and it was a lot more fun and lively than anything else I’ve seen

Thanks for the response. I guess I didn’t really considered the amount of light that would be required to get a decent glow on. The mid-level light someone might have while using their desktop computer followed by just the light of the monitor might not be great for it.

Where did you get your stickers?

Of course on both accounts. I imagine it would gradually fade out over the course of around an hour or so.

I mentioned it in my post and another comment but I thought it would have been an occasional novelty you would see online. Maybe in an weird Ali Express device.

I know it fades. I’m not talking about bringing back the radium girls here.

What do you think I am misunderstanding?

I mentioned an LED solution probably being cheaper because of things like that and the ThinkLight.

Like I said it’s more the novelty aspect of it that I think people might like. Kind of like transparent shells/cases for devices.

I could see mainstream large companies like Apple and Microsoft not doing it because there are better solutions out there but I figured it would at least be more present in the hobbyist side of things at the very least.

I say backlighting but I’m talking about either having the characters on the keys or the entire key lighting up. Mimicking the purpose of backlighting

Yeah I feel like having control over the things you use is definitely a big part. Something that really hampers my enthusiasm for AI is that so much of it is out of my control and generally disconnected from me.

Having AI that I can modify and run locally on my devices seems a lot more sci-fi than something that can relies so heavily on the Internet and rigid responses.

Sorry about the wait. I kept forgetting to post it when I wasn’t on mobile!

I find it’s a lot of those ideal use cases I find futuristic. The RISC V architecture and Briar are kind of similar. They’re really neat and I could see some cyberpunk style uses for them but the drive for their adoption and the level of it just doesn’t seem to be there yet.

I’m glad they aren’t planning on releasing incrementally upgraded devices.

Retroid makes a lot of handheld emulators that are decent quality but it feels like they release a new model every few months that’s just slightly better than the last. It’s an easy way to feel cheated and hesitant about what you’re buying.

I feel like that really depends on how you view futuristic.

I think things with colored e-ink displays, USB C chargeable AA batteries, handheld emulators, 2230 NVMe drives, and USB C power portable displays are really cool but I feel like their availability these days has made them lose a bit of their futuristic luster. They would have blown my mind when I was a kid.

More niche products like Meshtastic and ESP32 Marauder devices are things I view as futuristic (and can be found for under $100).

Yeah. I feel like the headline also misrepresented the extent of what happened.

But the firm rejected claims about the extent of the damage caused by the unnamed individual, saying they “contain some exaggerations and inaccuracies”

Is probably the key takeaway and a good summary of what the article is about

Yeah that’s pretty much it. I get that it’s not a good idea but I could see myself using them for old electronics that have just gotten worn down after cleaning them like you mentioned. Stuff I’m probably not going to invest time or money into repairing.

Like a micro USB cord with larger and more aggressive clips for example.

It’s kind of like dealing with a bolt that doesn’t want to loosen by adding more force. It might work or make things a lot worse but it’s a “right now” solution

I don’t think it’s a bad idea. I’ve used a lot of controllers in the past that have felt worse than the controls on Anbernics handhelds. If they are willing to switch things up and breakaway from the typical from the typical Switch Pro controller look a lot of third party companies use I think it could be cool
