I have Google TV on my Sony TV and found that I was able to disable the ads and crap. There was a setting to toggle. They tried to make it unattractive by saying I wouldn't be able to use the Google Assistant feature but this just seem

Ad-blockers still work fine on the site tho, you're paying Google money for no good reason. Money of which only a small part goes to the creators. If you actually want to support the creators, do it via a more direct method than paying

There is some talk that YT are making it such that trying to seek will not skip the ad.

Tends not to matter, the context usually makes it clear what is being discussed.

Just your usual internet attention seeking I guess. Narcissism is a powerful stimulant ;-)

I really don't think Sam needs more encouragement, thanks. Also, if this is your definition of magic then...yeah...

Oh really? So when some local newspaper reports about some random old person in an old-age home that's political? Please, take this destructive attitude and reassess it. Not all things are political and making them so actively makes th

Interesting post, honestly feels like the NFT cult: Discord full of true believers, leader with wildly optimistic takes on everything, nonsensical profit model. I will say, however, that the authors one comment "Vlad is one of those pe

This is why I preferred Shadow Warrior 2 to Borderlands. Millions of randomly generated guns sounds nice, except they're mostly trash. I'd rather have the 70 hand-crafted options in SW2.

Early 3d generally hasn't aged as well, probably due to extremely low resolution textures and so forth.

Ah yes, 24gb top-of-the-line GPUs, I happen to have a whole warehouse full. /s

Nonsense. Nintendo bring this in themselves with their own policies. There are so many hardware platforms I can support, and one that hardly ever does sales and refuses to bring their games to other platforms is not that appealing. I buy ga

Right...because requiring developers to actually grasp the code they're outputting is gatekeeping. If you want to pretend the rush to AI won't lead to more incompetent chefs in the kitchen than we already have (which is too many a

You're both right and wrong. Corporations and governments do consist of people and people do care...but it's also the case the being a cog in a large organization does have a tendency to induce stuff like "I was just followin

Fun fact, I generated an image for Homo Sapiens a few hours ago (After trying white man, black man and neanderthal with no success) and was greeted with someone that looked very much like an Orc XD

Another solution in search of a problem... Unless the problem is Apple fans having too much disposable income, in which case I guess this is an excellent solution XD

Right, but did anyones attempts to contact emergency services get affected in this case? I'm guessing not. No matter how you paint it, this was probably rather excessive on the part of the police.

The heck are you on about? Have you ever tried to "train a human"? They don't work that way, not unless your "training" involves so weird torture stuff you probably shouldn't be boasting about. Maybe try ask so

It pretty clearly is. Less of a story that is.

Plenty of people would disagree so clearly this is not a settled matter

I dunno, I worked with Qt5 and Qt6 recently and creating a UI felt pretty fast and smooth to me (Much more so than the last time I did frontend web work anyway) That said, I've never used VB6 so maybe I'm missing something...

Gadzooks! You're right! If only NYT had realised the secret to success was spewing out articles reacting to other articles reacting to other articles, they would all have been millionaires!

I think your kid analogy is flawed because it ignores the fact that you couldn't reasonably use said "kid" to rapidly produce thousands of works in the same style and then go on to use them to flood the market and drown out t

Vivaldi is chromium based and they've pledged to do whatever they have to to rollback manifest v3 in their browser.

Honestly, OpenAI seem more like a cult that a company to me. The hyperbole that surrounds them fits the mould nicely.

For example...they're both jerks! :-)

Are you guys seriously involved in a WPM pissing contest?
