Touch My Hamm

Some believe they wanted the ability to see all info including text/images shared, etc and full control while others were fine with having no control.

Although, you should keep in mind that, on the Android side there could be some manufacturers that have better parental controls than others .

That is a odd issue for android. I wish they had a more universal one built in based on account like apple. I believe they have the family app but I dont believe its in base android or that companies have it installed at startup.

I will be speaking around and assisting others in a workshop where one of the points are for family controls on both iphone and android and one of the questions they wanted answered is which is better. I personally am a huge android user but my wife and family use iphone as I can help put restrictions agreed upon with the younger users. What are your thoughts on one over the other. Some of the pre-questions they wanted answered which I setup are:

is this a huge invasion of privacy that children should be entitled to?

If yes or no (for the users present) why do you believe this.

Which is better for app permissions iphone or android for my child?

examples that make X better then Y

which one is easier to setup and change when the child is older and allowed more freedom?

other thoughts on family use for the family controls on mobile devices since they are almost a part of everything these days.

I thought it was an excellent conversation as privacy concerning younger users and giving knowledge to some users who may not be as tech inclined may not know of some of the dangers of the internet. Honestly I miss the day of getting notes and reading them in the classroom. I also remember my first cell phone and when texting became a thing and racking up a +$200 onto the bill and my parents freaked.

I was thinking:

https://en.akkogear.com/product/acr-top-75-kit/ or https://www.amazon.ca/Glorious-Mechanical-Keyboard-Tenkeyless-Gaming/dp/B01MSVHZTT/ref=sr_1_9?m=A1DYE0JBXZTW6W&marketplaceID=A2EUQ1WTGCTBG2&qid=1687285927&s=merchant-items&sr=1-9&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.c1b088f5-04b2-4ab6-9d7a-b4ccd9a2b544&th=1

with Cherry speed silver manually lubed or https://nuphy.com/collections/switches/products/nuphy-polaris-switches since they are factory lubed. Then buy some random doubleshot pbt caps.

One random thing I was think about is spacing between keys. definitely the most random thing. Im sure its most likely standardized spacing. I remember trying corsair keyboards and thinking that either their keycaps are shaped odd or they have alot of spacing between keys. But it may be that they where using something:

where it just felt like there was odd spacing between keys when there isnt and im just an odd ball lol.

Do you remember the total travel of your Ducky keyboard?

I previously owned the NuPhy Air75 keyboard and would highly recommend it. (I have since "upgraded" to the Halo75)

 

It uses Gateron Low Profile switches which have a total travel of 3.2mm +/- 0.2mm

Full-sized Gateron switches are 4mm max.

 

You could find a keyboard with (or swap it with) MX Cherry Speed switches if you want to stay full-sized. Total travel appears to be 3.4mm, so essentially the same as LP switches.

- - - - - -

Edit:

According to this article, Razer's Linear Optical and Clicky Optical switches have 3mm total travel.

So you can look into their Huntsman keyboards if you're interested.

 

I was actually looking at https://nuphy.com/collections/keyboards/products/field75?variant=40550066749549. my complaint would be the aesthetic is.....something ....

LF new keyboard. been using bloody b945 for years, Mostly used Ducky since shine 1 release. I wont mind building one out but withing a $150-225USD price range. Due to nerve damage I sue very light keys with short travel distance (this was a selling point for the Ducky since its like 1/3 the travel distance and light). I am looking for a TKL/75% as I can simply get an external numpad. Any suggestions for base/switches/caps that would fit under the $250 would be much appreciated. trying to find switches that are light/short travel is limiting and not always the sound people are after but its more a preference of my finger dexterity from years of typing like a madman lol. I don't mind building or buying prebuilt tbh, it would be nice to lube some switches as it may be fun project.

i think everyone gets paid somewhere between that.

well that isnt true as there are workshops still in the world where people get paid under that https://www.theworldcounts.com/challenges/people-and-poverty/slavery-and-sweatshops/sweatshop-workers-conditions. Sweatshops = bad. I wish we could all just get along and stop the terrible in the world

jesus that is a big range

 

My job pays anywhere between 5 cents and $4 billion an hour, for comparison

I get paid somewhere roughly between that as well.

2 very different jobs and skill sets. There is some overlap but in the IT world you have every sort of person. We have audio heads who play guitar and use only mac and hate windows, gamers who only build their own pc, as well as people who work out and ask others about pc parts questions for helping buy pcs for their kids. You can check some certifications that alot of entry levels get like https://www.isc2.org/Certifications/CISSP. The process of understanding networking, tools, software, policies that help protect data etc in a business is very different than putting together pc parts and assembling a gaming/work computer. There is overlap as I said but its less of an overlap as a medical doctor at a hospital being able to perform tooth removal vs a dentist trying to perform full examinations in a hospital. There are devs who work in mac and windows programming new software yet have issues with their headsets and boardroom cameras for meetings and call tech support.

No matter how many years experience you have in the IT world, there will always be some small random error/issue/flaw that you may have to search up that someone else may know off the top of their head. Its not that they dont understand their topic but knowing when to research to confirm isnt a sign of weakness, but a sign of knowing when you dont fully know, and searching up an answer.

Happy for Emily and wanting Emily vids as the old vids are some of my fav recent LTT content. Cant wait for great new totally way to in depth content explained so well.

this comic comes to mind whenever a company wants to help fix standard by creating a new standard for people to use.

I dont eat Wendy's to begin with. Unless the cost reduction from not having that employee is reflected into the purchased product I would simply go somewhere else. I have talked about this before. We will start to see larger and larger layoffs as companies push into AI creating a new "industrial revolution". Companies trying to max profit will cut as many humans out and when too many companies do this nobody will have the funds to purchase the product thus they all collapse and the large companies will get bailed out. There will most likely be a requirements put into place to control the implementation and mass layoffs or we will start to hear more and more about layoffs and people no longer spending and instead saving.

We need a place to move these workers into so they can work and make money or we will be in some trouble as more and more positions are replaced with AI quicker and quicker.

Though I thoroughly hate TikTok I dont believe it to be bannable on a regulated level by a government as it poses no threat that youtube/facebook/etc dont already pose. There could be some back ended dealings stealing or trying to push a narritive but this is the same with every social platform so its nothing new. There should be ALOT more educating to people to understand what is happening in these apps and ALOT more control for younger audiences. The amount of freedom in tech for young and the ignorant is what I believe is causing concern. If people understood and had proper easier to understand controls it wouldn't be such a huge problem.

I do believe heavily is warnings against fast tracking AI and how places are trying to push for it asap. We are about to hit another renaissance of shifts in the workplace. We can look at history when we went from mostly factory/farm work to office work. There was a transitional period where alot of people started losing jobs quickly as factories shut down and alot were not trained or equipped to the changing landscape of work moving. We are about to hit another one with AI where jobs are going to be taken and we do not have places setup yet for humans to migrate into. We need that net to be created and educated first before companies start mass changes into AI jobs replacing humans. To me this is the immediate danger in AI. AI taking over the world with some rogue program like Terminator isnt a great concern yet as we are still a way off anything to that extent.

I feel this mostly because I deal with AI alot in integration and see its potential where alot of places want to jump start with seeing Chatgpt using AI like that to replace people immediately. Not seeing the consequences

This post could be much better if you simply asked if and how you would either deactivate the apps in question or if there is a way to remove the files from android. You may need some reinstall base android to allow it to happen.

• Don't ban players.  Silently place them on cheaters-only servers.
  • This is about vendor incentives rather than player incentives.  Vendors continue to make money from cheaters, and don't have to be so adversarial.
• Input devices (mice, keyboards, gamepads) that generate private key signatures on data packets (based on embedded tamper-proof hardware to store the key), which are passed on to the server. Mouse movements that are not signed by a vendor-published public  key are a sign of cheating.
• Vendors should hire someone to cheat, so they know how to detect cheating, both at the user level (the wiggle), and at the lower software level (how does the code work, what mistakes might it make).
• Vendors should implement traps in their code designed to catch cheaters.
• Smarter tracking of mouse aiming statistics.
• It seems like a cartridge could be designed that makes it more difficult to cheat, without having to put the entire game processing engine (CPU/GPU) on the cartridge.  A tamperproof private key, and a fast encryption engine, for direct comms with the game servers that can't be intercepted or read from system memory.
• Anti-cheat needs to be a cross-vendor, cross-platform, cross game effort.  It could be prohibitively expensive to try to do some of these things one game at a time, but becomes much cheaper when that person you pay to cheat is learning about 20 different games.  it is also much more of a disincentive if getting banned on one game gets you banned on all the games.

1. This is done on many games.

2. This would add latency to inputs and not nearly as easy as software adding a line of code. It would be a complete rework on how Windows interacts with devices and drivers.

3. Vendors usually dont release information like that. But they do reverse engineer the software but "paying" for the software will only help the people they are fighting against.

4. Again this would add latency and how would you grade this? sometimes people have crazy shots is it based on %? The AI algorithm to calculate that on scale would be astronomical.

5. I am not sure what you are saying there?

6. Companies use anticheat that work for multiple games. "EasyAnticheat" being one of them, The issue with everyone using 1 company is that people creating the hacks then only need to worry about 1 anticheat that they program for the cheat to avoid which would make it easier to create hacks for other games.

There wont be a forever solution to hacking 100% as money is very lucrative. As long as people pay to cheat then there will be cheaters.

video editing is silly hard and there is a reason there is schooling and jobs specifically for that. between color correction, audio levels, then finding what works and molding it all together in a timely fashion is legit a skill.

very subjective. Depends what you want out of it and what its use case is. You could in theory use the argument of price to X for many things. Do most people who have trucks NEED trucks? How about large houses? Expensive cars? Luxury watches, shoes, the list can go on forever. Each person must decide what its worth to them and its use case and what you can afford and budget.

Issue with AI and the internet is its ability to filter data. Humans over time and instinctively filter data we preserve, we always see our nose all day but our brain filters it and ignores it even though it is there. AI on the internet if you program it to filter XYZ data then is it really AI making the decision or simply software code we put in? If we allow it to think for itself and filter what it chooses we have seen it get weird very quickly. I believe we are still a ways off real AI and simply have software that appears to be more "human like". It will be a slow process of killing off jobs as companies think they can save pennies by being the first to replace.

I'm more worried about the transition from people working these jobs and what is next for "work" and making money to sustain. When the time comes where jobs start being replaced companies higher ups will initially be happy but when it starts happening on mass either well need to transition to find new work for people or the cycle of purchasing/creating goods sort of breaks and we hit a recession that would be larger then when factory work started to disappear.

Exiting to work in AI/ML data sets but its in a very awkward phase of its life where people want it to be farther ahead then it is. Its not ready to take off and run full jobs while being 100% connected to the internet. But it can be a fun tool and investments should be made in that area.

From the coherent answers I see is more like a request to tone down the sexual innuendo jokes in videos. This is a much more realistic take than claiming sexual harassment in the workplace. I am sure that with 80+ employees that work culture is taken seriously and they have a clear cut what can and cannot be said/done in the workplace. On Camera antics should always be taken with a grain of salt as its almost 100% scripted and has gone through multiple hands to confirm everything is ok for the video. Live streams can be another beast entirely but this again would go under youtube persona which has its own thing.

Its an online persona...Very common in the world of youtube just like how most actors act in movies (some you could argue just play themselves). Shouldn't get caught up with who they present themselves in videos on youtube as you could be in for a odd encounter IRL with some people of Youtube.

I remember the EVGA sr2 o man that was my dream back then to own that board. I remember the old video of NCIX having 4 of them in a pc which I wanted them to use this board with 2 cpus and do a full cooling loop with 2cpu and 4 gpu. I miss parts like this.

I don’t think that the whole company is at fault here. I think that the main problem is the CEO guy. Honestly he seems like a bad person.

I dont say people are bad people but I do think his persona on his streams comes off more like a salesman, imo I would have someone else who is more charismatic and talks less about benefits to his company. Its weird to me how many times he brings up about how to help him and benefits to his company...

Sorry but the "streamer" is very clearly at fault here. If you have only 2K followers and not a single one clicked your referral you are NOT a content creator. Not every dipshit who begs people for follows and puts a referral link under their stream is a follower.

This person essentially just wanted free shit and got mad when they didn't get it.

 

It is completely right that the company should have added more detail to who qualifies but at the same time you have to take into account that this "company" is not even a year old and they are so small that their CEO is doing the giveaway, Their computers are very expensive and this girl is expecting to get a free high end computer while making $0.00 for them, literally nothing.

if a company decides that they qualify as an ambassador and they met the contest rules, then it's the companies own fault...not the person who realized the opportunity.  It's like when the Mint offered $1 coins for $1 price tag, and a guy bought like $10k worth of coins on a credit card (which got rewards points).

One of the large issues is if you watch the start of their stream or other streams they are not too clear on the rules.

My understanding of the giveaway from the short excerpt on their stream Monday.

1.They must be an "Ambassador".

2.They must be producing content.

3. Use their updated panel with a link to their website.

4. must stream.

5. communicate with their company.

Most of these rules can be up to interpretation which is a mistake on the company holding it. They needed ALOT more clear rules as to WHO can win. If you read the twitter for the person who got mad they didnt like how the CEO of their company went on a short brigade about the stats and lack on growth etc about their channel as well as wondering why they didnt win when they fit the initial criteria. They went over a few "winners" but this one was picked up due to how the CEO comes off with his communication.

person enters a contest that they were able to enter (if they wanted to put restrictions on it, then that's on Artesian not the streamer), streamer wins, and the company decided to go the illegal route and rescind the prize

This is the a big point as it depends on what the rules where set out and alot of the confusion stems from this. Where rules set out and this person didnt actually qualify? or where the rules deliberately vague so they can pretty much pick and choose and come off as douche? Is making the rules vague illegal in their state?

Opinion ahead***

IMO the CEO is the biggest cause and after watching a few of the recordings I don't find his personality at all appealing as it comes off more car salesman than someone interested in being content creator. Alot of his talking points are VERY geared towards benefits for his company. To me it seems ALOT of the popularity of the streams is really in hopes for a giveaway and not as much interest in their paid builds. I understand the companies point of view how they dont see the plus in giving away the pc to the specified person. As a company they should know that not 100% of those giveaway products would be able to be recouped in price. Since it was also held by Intel how much did they really pay? Plus the write off for taxing or that its a business expense you would have when doing giveaways.
