To me, the difference there is that the jokes about snake oil and homeopathy, healing crystals, or essential oils are roughly the same - e.g. "what do you call X that works and has been peer reviewed? Medicine."

So far, there has been no equivalent positive usage in the crypto sphere. Medicine, though often administered to different levels, is a good idea in itself.

Actually, for most uses of crypto it's attempting to muddle in and "add" value to a previous known-good thing. Is the comparison here that crypto is snake oil currency, snake oil databases, or snake oil contracts? In every case, to me, crypto is the snake oil salesman trying to sell you the brighter tomorrow - without adding anything positive, and often getting the heck out of dodge (or folding a company and moving on to, e.g. LLMs) before delivering on promises.

Had to look it up, but "most probably" built between AD 1000–1050. Love that it's old enough that we're not entirely sure...

Out of interest, have you seen the recent headlines around Windows 11 stopping working on unsupported hardware that it had been installed on anyway?

Hold up. Digital zoom is, in all the cases I'm currently aware of, just cropping the available data. That's not reconstruction, it's just losing data.

Otherwise, yep, I'm with you there.

I don't think loss is what people are worried about, really - more injecting details that fit the training data but don't exist in the source.

Given the hoopla Hollywood and directors made about frame-interpolation, do you think generated frames will be any better/more popular?

Like what?

Forgive me if this comes across bluntly but, having seen roughly no details on price or actual performance of the still unannounced PS5 Pro, are you pulling the 3-4x cost comparison out of the ether?

If the expectation is that it will increase performance by frame generation, and that's accepted (e.g. non native resolution performance), then I'd argue you could get away with a very reasonable build and upscale to 4k for a similar imaginary price point - but without any released details (or third party reviews/benchmarks), that's hard to say seriously.

That's great to hear! Thank you

I'm having an issue where the toggle for post-title -with-share when sharing an image does nothing - but I don't see anyone else with the issue, so maybe it's just me?

From what the steam reviews say, it's using Dosbox for the former.

Just FYI, it generally seems that none of these require origin or the EA app or any more than Steam as DRM.

QuickBooks, by far. Running that on premise (which we did before they offered it as a service) was an absolute pain.

Online mode seems closer to the worst, with a screen to kick you back to the main menu.

Once back at the main menu, due to the way all travel resets areas, you're likely to have lost progress since the last gate. You'll retain items and XP, but lose map reveal and have to run through the areas again.

Thanks! Some fun bits!

What sort of control tuning have you done?

From what I've seen, he seems pretty alright. May be wrong.

Came here to say this. It hugely weakened any investment in characters and story, for me.

I would not recommend playing legion for the story. Or, arguably, at all - but particularly not for the story.

Out of interest, at a high level, why?

Did they patch out interesting exploits/speed run things?

But it's a hellishly expensive thing that seems to not attract enjoyment from current Firefox users, and seems unlikely to bring new users, and (again) seems to be prioritised over other things that could better use the money, like developers, so...

Why.

Picard Musicbrainz is pretty awesome for recognising and then moving-to-the-right-place. I think it can also be automated, but I haven't got to that level of trust yet
