    ouroesa reacted to Dracarris in Apple has to stop selling the iPhone 12 in France due to too much EMF Radiation.   
    So does sunlight. In principle everything what you say is true, but even if we go over the current limits by several x, we are so far below the amounts of thermal energy that everyone receives by basically living and going outside, with the added danger of receiving UV radiation that is actually dangerous..

    ouroesa reacted to divito in Toyota’s Japanese production was halted due to insufficient disk space   
    I was just pointing out the image only referencing China is a bit disingenuous, as this practice isn't exclusive to China.

    Unfortunately Toyota isn't the only company to suffer something like this, and they definitely won't be the last. Many large corporations that end up having many international subsidiaries/hubs, and utilize legacy infrastructure, will face problems like this, especially one where administration and logistical operations have been a bit stale. The timeframe of implementation and the active lifespan of its deployment means knowledgeable IT/engineering staff are fewer and far between when certain issues arise.

    ouroesa reacted to maplepants in Plex blocks IP addresses from Hetzner as of October 12, 2023   
    Plex staff have always recommended that users run their Plex server at home though. They're setup guides talk about accessing the server over localhost, or over the LAN IP. They're setup guide doesn't mention anything about SSL certs, firewall configuration, rate limits, or any of the other stuff you'd need in order to set up an internet facing service.
     
    I would also imagine that the number of regular users hosting their library on Hetzner is tiny. I'm a Hetzner user myself and opening up my own admin console I can see that storage volumes are €52.36/mo per TB. That'd be ~€450/mo for me without even touching bandwidth costs.
     
    I'm sure the "false positive rate" for a ban action like this would be pretty low.

    i don't care what someone's track record is, if they make the claim that they have the best x but no one is able to verify those claims, then i'm going to take their claim with a mountain of salt.

    IMO this is a non-story. These cards have been out for over two years and preventing sag has well known prevention options.

    ouroesa reacted to starsmine in Modded GeForce RTX 3070 with 16GB memory gets major 1% lows FPS boost   
    Major 1% low fps boost*

    with the foot note being they set up the benchmark to fill out 16GB of vram half artificially (half because the engine just lets you do that without modding in larger textures, but half because its not realistic). 
    its the same as forcing the CPU to read from page file to do a calcualtion for no good reason.

    ouroesa reacted to YoungBlade in Modded GeForce RTX 3070 with 16GB memory gets major 1% lows FPS boost   
    Are you telling me that the RTX 3070 can take advantage of a 16GB VRAM buffer?! That Nvidia shorted it with just 8GB in a way that cripples it for newer titles that came out only 2.5 years after release, despite the fact that the GPU core is plenty fast enough?
     
    I never would have guessed. In a billion years, I never could have come to the conclusion that the card deserved more VRAM than it was given. I am shooketh.

    Nintendo has always been on the wrong side of consumer rights when it comes to fan-media. Emulators are no exception.
     
     
    The gaming industry is not going out of business because J-random-nitwit decides to play a 30 year old Nintendo game on an emulator because the hardware hasn't been available for 30 years. That has never been the problem and Nintendo knows it. The problem is companies like Nintendo and Disney, decide to just "stop making available" products and then seemingly are surprised that there is demand for it. Sitting on IP is stupid, and if you are not making it available to watch or play. Then people who want to play or watch it are going to do by so by any means. That is why emulators exist. That is why CD and DVD rips exist. That's why ROM sites exist.
     
    There are 716 official licensed NES games. How many does switch online have? about 60. That's LESS than 10%. How are you supposed to play the rest legitimately? Time machines are fiction. Repro carts on eBay are ALSO pirated copies. Analogue FPGA consoles are the only way to play original NES carts as intended. Good luck getting a vintage NES. The Analogue FPGA consoles can also be jailbroken to play all 716 licensed games without owning them, but that's not what it's marketed as. So why doesn't Nintendo just have an official emulator on the Switch or on Mac/Win/PS5/Xbox/iPhone that just downloads the ROM as a one-time-purchase from Nintendo itself to play it? That would solve the problem. But Nintendo won't do that. The closest we got to that was the Wii/WiiU virtual console. The NES classic? They could have loaded every single game on it and sold it, and just unlocked the games with e-shop codes.
     
    Repeat that for the SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, GB, GBC, GBA, DS, and 3DS. Why Nintendo won't is baffling, it's leaving money on the table, that the pirates are more than willing to create repro carts and consoles for, and then Nintendo has to constantly hire people to send VERO notices to eBay to take these down by the thousands every week.
     
    Those pirate carts are only ending up on eBay in the first place because Nintendo is not selling any legit way of buying the game in the first place. Yes many of those pirate carts (such as pokemon carts) were competing directly with legitimate carts for consoles that people can play (such as GBA carts in DS units), but they wouldn't be such a problem if you could buy the game in some form.
     
    99% of the NES/SNES/GB/GBC/GBA carts you find on eBay are pirate copies. They are designed to deceive people looking for "brand new" vintage copy. A real vintage copy is likely going to look like a dog chewed on it and have no box. Every game I bought off eBay, I took apart to check, because if it comes with the box, but not the manual, it's likely counterfeit. Only one wound up being counterfeit, because all the others were bought without a box. Sure enough the one time I tried to get one with a box, it was a flash Repro cart.
     
    In all seriousness, a NES/SNES/N64/GC+GB/GBC/GBA classic television "console" that just works with the Switch bluetooth controllers, is something that is needed.  
     
    https://ausretrogamer.com/how-much-storage-would-it-take-to-store-every-nintendo-video-game-that-can-be-emulated/
     
    It doesn't even require that much storage.
    1TB of flash storage would cover everything but the Wii. A 1TB SD card costs you between $35 to $150. Now consider that the Switch hardware is basically Tegra X1 Nvidia shield, and costs $200, you could reasonably, at retail prices, sell a Nintendo console for $350 that plays everything Nintendo ever made before the Wii. All the hardware and software to do so, already exists. It's just Nintendo's unwillingness to have a product out there that "competes" with it's current offering, despite the life of "current offering" never, EVER, includes legacy games. There were more virtual console games on the Wii and WiiU than there has ever been on the Switch.

    ouroesa reacted to Holmes108 in Microsoft bans emulators from the xbox store front citing Nintendo as a reason.   
    All that is completely separate from any point I was making, so I do indeed get it. Going after perfectly legal software makes no sense, whether or not you think piracy is warranted.
     
    Edit: Also, games could be readily available, and all cost $5 and some people would still pirate, and a company like Nintendo especially, would still fight it. So while it's not that I think your points are without merit, it's hardly the be all and end all of the issue.

    this is more implications for sloppy QC, and someone was reading up on bitcoin on his break, and needed to scan "the nearest document" in the afternoon to test the app.
     
    the idea that this implies that apple is somehow running a coin miner on every mac in existance is about as valid as the idea that if that document were to have been ham lasagna it would somehow have made apple antisemitic, because (some) jewish people dont eat dishes that combine milk and meat.

    ouroesa reacted to Holmes108 in AI Pause Called For By Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, and other tech leaders   
    As far as the "we're all going to lose our jobs" aspect... well in the past I've always been on the opposite side. I've always argued that people have been saying that for over 100 years with every innovation. And while some industries certainly get affected, as a whole, we've always become more wealthy as a society. Net positive overall.
     
    But for the first time, I'm thinking AI could be the exception. Not because of the tech itself, but more with how quickly it seems to be improving. We need to do some serious real world tests of alternative policies, like universal basic income, etc asap.
