Unity was also the first game in the series to have actual multiplayer co-op missions. Previous AC “multiplayer” was just dumb mini games.

I tried sublime but I very quickly moved to vim. If you don’t like using the keyboard for everything, you can enable mouse support.

I think it was Coolermaster actually. But the brand of keyboard isn’t super important because they all use the same brand of switches (Cherry MX). I’m now using different switches (Hako) but I don’t think the failure rate is really any different.

I personally prefer https://hackertyper.net

Many of the 1st party Nintendo games go for $30-$100 on the used market. Plus buying something to play it will be at least $100. If you are actively playing a lot of them it could be worth the subscription.

I’m sure Apple over-engineered the security of this to prevent this from becoming a vector for jailbreaking.

As a nice side effect, I would trust it.

Plus the people you would get firmware from like this would be your family/friends/coworkers or maybe an Apple Store employee if you really don’t know anyone else with an iPhone.

Fits like this on my phone

We aren’t talking about current cameras. We are talking about the proposed plan to make cameras that do cryptographically sign the images they take.

Here’s the link from the start of the thread:

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/09/google-seeks-authenticity-in-the-age-of-ai-with-new-content-labeling-system

This system is specifically mentioned in the original post: https://www.seroundtable.com/google-search-image-labels-ai-edited-38082.html when they say “C2PA”.

It’s not that simple. It’s not just a “this is or isn’t AI” boolean in the metadata. Hash the image, then sign the hash with digital signature key. The signature will be invalid if the image has been tampered with, and you can’t make a new signature without the signing key.

Once the image is signed, you can’t tamper with it and get away with it.

The vulnerability is, how do you ensure an image isn’t faked before it gets to the signature part? On some level, I think this is a fundamentally unsolvable problem. But there may be ways to make it practically impossible to fake, at least for the average user without highly advanced resources.

Doubling the size in each dimension should at least double the damage

Updating my computers from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 was a whole day process. It doesn’t help that the upgrade tool requires you to press enter every so often.

(Yeah yeah I should try other distros. I’ll play with other distros when I’m not spending my time as pictured in the meme.)

(To be clear this is on a couple computer I personally own. The ones the lab owns are on Ubuntu 20.04 if I’m lucky…)

Take a high-quality AI image, add some noise, blur, and compress it a few times.

Or, even better, print it and take a picture of the print out, making sure your photo of the photo is blurry enough to hide the details that would give it away.

Even if you assume the images you care about have this metadata, all it takes is a hacked camera (which could be as simple as carefully taking a photo of your AI-generated image) to fake authenticity.

And the vast majority of images you see online are heavily compressed so it’s not 6MB+ per image for the digitally signed raw images.

lol your VPN company is going to kick you the instant you turn on LOIC through them. Your packets wont even get to the target site because you are basically attacking your own VPN.

I got a monitor stand to put my monitor such that the middle of the screen was level with my eyes. Made my neck hurt worse. It needs to be a bit below eye level.

Counterargument to your trash idea link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daryl_Davis

Cellular respiration is sugar + oxygen -> water + CO2

Combustion reactions are often characterized as anything that is something + oxygen -> water + optionally something else.

I’d recommend looking for keyboards with hot-swappable switches. They may be more expensive up front, but they are repairable so they will be much more cost effective in the long term. Plus there are fun things you can do like trying out different switches or even mix-and-matching different types.

I usually have a key fail about once a year or so. For a keyboard without hot swappable switches that’s a new keyboard each time one key fails (assuming it’s a key that’s important, which it usually is - keys you use more frequently are more likely to fail sooner). Keys are like $1 a pop (although you usually have to buy them in bulk).

I used to buy the Corsair keyboard for like $50 each. I switched to a $150 keyboard with hot swappable switches. I’ve had my keyboard for about 5 years now and I think I’ve replaced 3 keys.

is less about character and more about factors like social awkwardness, lack of friends, poor hygiene, unfortunate genetics, spending too much time online or gaming, etc

The struggle to form relationships comes from issues like what you mentioned here, which are mostly things that are a part of your character. The incel logic is circular.

I primarily use Signal because I like my chats end-to-end encrypted. iMessage is not that bad on that front.

I avoid any Facebook-written code like the plague, including WhatsApp and Messenger. They literally have a track record of putting malware in their products. I don’t understand why Europeans aren’t bothered by this.
