Last season showed just how hack RTD and Moffat have got (and I say that as a fan of prior work)

I mean come on, Harriet Arbinger?

What’s the dumbest thing you ever got in trouble at school for? in c/asklemmy

[–] shrodes 6 points 1 week ago

Kid I knew ripped the IT dept account and password out of Windows using a boot disk and told a few people including me.

You could use the account to remote access any computer on the network. I used it to set a friend of mine’s desktop background to an image I made of the world’s ugliest dogs. Teacher caught me and I fessed up.

Got yanked into the coordinators office and got a big spiel about how the account could have been used to access exams and reports and whatnot. Surprisingly didn’t get in that much trouble since I didn’t really use my great powers for anything crazy. Had to write a letter of apology to the principal and got detention for a bit and that’s it.

Kid who ripped the password didn’t do any time from what I remember. Don’t think I ratted, or at least I hope not.

Why don’t you cough up something you like so we can mock it for no reason

Nintendo patent confirms Joy-Con mouse functionality rumored for Switch 2 in c/nintendo

[–] shrodes 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think this is a tacit admission from Nintendo that they consider the Steam Deck a competitor. Whereas for so long they have really not considered either Sony or Microsoft as competitors in their space.

If it brings more PC M+K style games to the Switch then that is only a good thing for the consumer I think, and there may even be a plus side for stuff like Metroid Prime 4 having mouse aim which would be cool.

Why I am not impressed by A.I. in c/technology

It happens even if you ask how many “r”s are in “strawberry”. It’s a well-known AI gotcha that happens on most if not all current models. The typo in the original post is a little misleading and not that relevant.

It’s still very possible for iOS in app purchases if you use gift cards and a Turkey iTunes account. Some regional pricing has been adjusted but many have not

New US Rule Aims to Block China’s Access to AI Chips and Models by Restricting the World in c/technology

Aren’t China the ones making the chips in their foundries? What’s to stop them from not exporting the chips to US hardware manufacturers in retaliation? Are there any AI chips being made in the US?
