Squadron 42 Receives a 2026 Release Date, Will Have 30-40 Hours of Gameplay
  • QuadratureSurfer QuadratureSurfer 5h ago 100%

    I think you meant Squadron 42.

    Star Citizen is an MMO while Everspace and Squadron 42 are single player games.

    You can hear them, but manufacturers had to add external speakers to electric cars to make them louder.

    You can go into settings and change it so that it doesn't show to anyone. But at some point they made an update and it reset those options to the default setting even if you had previously set it to hidden.

    At that point I just went in and changed my name on my account settings.

  • Meet the mothers in small-town Hungary leading a fight against Chinese EV battery plants.
  • QuadratureSurfer QuadratureSurfer 2d ago 100%

    Title is slightly misleading. They don't care which country the battery plants are coming from, they're just against EV battery plants being setup nearby in general:


    Locals fear environmental degradation, and previously spent years opposing South Korean battery plants.


    “We fear that CATL will bring pollution and environmental consequences on our land,” Kozma said.

    I have cat allergies, but as long as I don't touch my face after petting them I'm usually fine.

    I don't have any cats, but I do enjoy their company when I'm visiting someone who does have them.

    Reports: Tesla’s prototype Optimus robots were controlled by humans
  • QuadratureSurfer QuadratureSurfer 5d ago 100%

    I think you're misunderstanding what AGI is.

    A robot operating on its own does not mean that it has the achieved the ability to think for itself and reason at (or beyond) human levels.

    It doesn't sound like anyone here was thinking that AGI had been achieved.

    Keyboard issue when replying/posting in certain circumstances
  • QuadratureSurfer QuadratureSurfer 6d ago 100%

    i'm also experiencing this issue.

    One way to narrow down this issue would be to downgrade voyager to an older version before this started happening and figure out at which version it was introduced.

    If downgrading doesn't fix it, then it's likely a GrapheneOS update that caused it... But considering I haven't seen this happen on any other apps I'm leaning towards this being a Voyager issue.

    Why video game preservation matters for everyone
  • QuadratureSurfer QuadratureSurfer 2w ago 100%

    Video game preservation absolutely matters and there's been an alarming trend in the industry to release a game only to shut it down a short time later with no ability for the players to be able to play it further.

    For those in the EU, let your friends know about the petition here:

    Baior recently posted a thread asking for feedback on changes to ship components where everyone basically responded with a "How would we know unless someone datamined the info?" ::: spoiler Tap for full text from Savrals-CIG's response to the feedback > Hi > > Thank you all for your feedback so far. We are aware that we are not doing the best job yet in presenting the stats of each item.\ This is something that we are actively looking into improving moving forward since we do not want our players to be required to use external tools (we are very thankful that they exist though).\ \ You have been heard and we have better stat visibility on our list we are actively looking into.\ But we wont have a solution for 3.24.2.\ \ As additional side note to Baiors message:\ \ Since this patch has the biggest change we ever did for the ship components yet, we are still iterating over the values.\ \ Here I personally ask for all the feedback that you can provide\ \ What are you expecting to see when we talk about our classes like competition, military, industrial and stealth?\ What are the component loadouts you have for your mining or salvage endevours versus your PvP setup?\ What is your favorite item and why shouldnt we nerf it 😛?\ \ \ To be super clear here, everything helps us right now, but what helps us the most is a description of what you are expecting in words 🙂.\ Additionally it helps describing what you already like and what you think still needs improving. > > Cheers, \- Savrals-CIG :::

    Is ChatGPT right that if you get denied appeal on a permanent ban you can try again in 6 months?
  • QuadratureSurfer QuadratureSurfer 2w ago 100%

    I've used it for translating reviews where the website's (or google's) translator does a terrible job. It seems to do a much better job (at least the reviews made a lot more sense and I got a lot more out of it).

    But I absolutely agree, don't ever trust it to be completely accurate, especially with something important like contracts.

    edit: grammar.

  • Many companies won't say if they'll comply with California's AI training transparency law
  • QuadratureSurfer QuadratureSurfer 2w ago 100%

    It would be interesting to see just how often Instagram sold its users' images to companies creating generative image models.

    I see a lot of artists complaining that their work was used for training, but they also agreed to upload their photos to a company along with a royalty free license.

    And that's when scammers/disinformation campaigns can really take advantage of this system.

    People are more likely to trust a "blue check mark", so finding every way to trick the system into either giving one, or making it look like they have one will become a high priority.

  • California governor vetoes major AI safety bill
  • QuadratureSurfer QuadratureSurfer 3w ago 50%

    What are you talking about? AI is way too broad of a term to be talking in generics like this.

    Are you talking about ML models that help with diagnosing patients, find new cures, find new planets, upscaling, motion prediction, self driving cars, image generation, object detection, text generation (ChatGPT), audio generation (music, voices), etc?

    If you're talking about some "AI" that's meant to replace a system where we already have a simple solution (like a rain sensor) then, yeah, training a model on that is not worth the effort.

  • Can chargers really damage your smartphone?
  • QuadratureSurfer QuadratureSurfer 3w ago 97%

    If you read the article, it's more of an "it depends" answer.

    Most phones have safety mechanisms built in to them to protect from things like overcharging or overheating during fast charging. They will also default to a low power charging state if it doesn't detect the correct signal from the charger.

    There is a very rare possibility that a charger may not be grounded correctly and that's why it's recommended to stick with big brands if you're going with a 3rd party charger.

  • What is the hardest video game(s) in your opinion, why, and what other games are you comparing against to make this conclusion?
  • QuadratureSurfer QuadratureSurfer 4w ago 100%

    Probably "Trap Adventure 2".
    Imagine an old Mario game where Bowser has the most rediculous traps set up. You need to memorize all of the trap locations as well as have the coordination to tip-toe around them to survive.
