Virtual environments are really not viable for music production. Latency and other inconsistensies makes it a no-go.

High level Music production requires very low audio and input latency in addition to consistent and 100% accurate sound reproduction.

A virtual environment is a wildcard here that I at least would not bother trying to make work. (Not saying it can’t be done, just saying it would potentially be a big headache and extremely conditioned on spesific hardware, drivers and configuration settings.)

It’s not the guy in the trenchcoat next to you you need to worry about.

It’s the fact that some unknown entity owns/has set up the WiFi.

Anyone working with complex network setup and admin will tell you how much you can abuse owning the network a user is connected to.

The network guys at work never use public WiFi, not hotels or anything. Neither do I, even with my much more limited knowledge of network administration.

Breach of trademark, not copyright, whole different barrel of fish.

The thing is… I think a lot of people don’t know that they have uefi support…

I have had the same windows install and motherboard (AMD is so great with long term socket support) for years, and figuring out how to change my bios and os setting so that I got a propper uefi boot was non-trivial.

Uefi has been a thing for a long time, but it’s not been the default for motherboards afaik. So you have had to go into bios and find the right settings.

Quote me after dealing with print drivers acting up and spooler service crashes for the nth time that day (also worked in it support for several years):

“We can land men on the moon, but somehow getting a printer, a technology that has existed litteraly since before computers had screens, to work is still complete and utter black magic…!”

Let’s hope Apple puts their “privacy first” money where their mouth is.

Sadly I do however think the ability to further lock down and control what uses can see and access might be just as tempting for them…

Love it so far on my phone.

On my tablet I really wish there was a “2-pane post view” as in spreading the posts out across my tablet screen to view more at the same time. (see for instance thunder for an 3xample on how this could look)

While I appreciate the intent behind the tablet view in sync it doesn’t suit my needs as much as just scrolling through more posts would do. :)

This is what scares me the most.

I absolutely agree that they need to “play it safe” this time.

But for their consoles they have had a “it’s not worth launching something unless it’s really innovative” philosophy for quite some time. And if they decide on some bonkers idea that screws with my simple wish, a better switch, I think I’m going to be disappointed.

And I say this as a guy who has loved Nintendo and their products since I got my NES back in the 90s. I stood in line to get the Wii at launch, heck I even liked my Wii U. (Even if it was under powered and confusingly marketed, I liked that they tried to do something new…)

But this time Nintendo, just stick to a good, solid, backwards compatible , iteration on your original idea.

This.

Anyone who looks into this tech properly, beyond sensationalist headlines made to draw readers or outrageous claims to attract investors sees this emperor as the naked illusion that it is.

It’s a great tool for what it’s good at (generating convincing text outputs). And completely useless at others.

The risk to jobs currently are owners and managers with little to no knowledge trying to actually replace their employees with llms. These are companies setting them selves up for amazing and spectacular failure at this point in the game.

It’s impossible to say how this will play out in the long run but currently it’s interesting as a research tool, a tool for saving time when writing texts etc etc.

What happens when clever people integrate these models with other systems in intelligent and responsible ways is going to be interesting to follow.

Currently the most important thing to emphasize with AI is that a lot of the coverage and general writing on the subject matter is filled with misconceptions about how the technology works and what it is capable of. It’s full on hypecycle season.

I’m currently deep diving into AI and specifically LLMs to strengthen my ability to give respondible advice about it and to explain it in an understandable manner to our bosses and decision makers at work.

There are lots of great deep dives and explainers out there all ready and a few manage to get the fundamentals right without going completely bonkers technical as well… but the (and I hate using this word as it’s being abused way to much) main stream media is not a source with even a grain of propper comprehension when it comes to what this technology is (and perhaps even more important isn’t).

This is the video I currently recommended to get a good start at the subject of llms: https://youtu.be/-4Oso9-9KTQ

It is general enough for most people to follow but detailed enough to burst the biggest illusions on the subject.

Some reviews and summarises calling it a “match 3”-game is really doing the gameplay a disservice. While it has elements of such games (you do match three to create attacks/blocks) it’s different enough to be interesting even if you don’t traditionally enjoy match 3 games.

It’s a nice puzzle/strategy game with enough depth without getting to complecated.

Hope you find it enjoyable if you end up getting it at some point :)

My guess is that this version is based on the other console versions of the game, and they didn’t think of it.

it’s perfectly fine without, but touch would make it playable one handed.

Still miss my pebble…

Rocked a Garmin a few years, now I’m trying galaxy watch 5 pro. Miss the week long battery but 2+ days is “ok”, a lot less annoying then I first thought it would be.

Exelent integration with my phone is a big plus. (For instance the Garmin never let me respond to alarms from the Samsung clock app :/ )

Moved on to the second character in the campaign now. So far it’s a great port.

I loved this game back on ds, but never finished it cause other games took focus. So far the port seems just like I remember the game. (Except for exelent new visuals)

Only “minus” so far is no touch input, but it’s not a big minus at all and most players won’t even think about it.

Played this on DS ages ago. Instant purchase for me, really solid little puzzler. Never completely finished it on DS, not cause i got tired of it but other games got my focus. Ready to try to finish it completely this time.

Everybody Hertz
