I’m guessing this only works with older iOS?

• Good keyboard with text navigation keys (Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down) and a sensible layout: delete at the top right, no stupid replacement of normal modifier keys with fingerprint readers or copilot keys, no tiny arrow keys, etc.
• Good touchpad that’s precise, doesn’t lag, and allows clicking on most or all of the total area

I don’t think these should be that important. Even if one uses a single device for every need in the form of a laptop, one can still attach a keyboard and mouse to it. The worst customizable keyboard and wireless mouse will still be better than whatever the laptop has built in.

I have an acquaintance who is a lead Dev at an Indie studio where he is developing and training an NPC behaviour engine with thousands of responses and actions. Think fallout or mass effect response wheel, where 2-4 dialogue choices have 2-4 outcomes, but instead you can tell the NPC anything and it will have a different response. Or it will do different things whether you hand it a book, give it book, throw a potion at it or cast a healing spell on it or hug it. It could also change tactics if you tried to snipe it vs if you went at it melee. All of these are trained and accounted for and made in a way where it can be built into any game using a certain engine. And this is just aimed at generic npcs, not companions.

So if this is what disclosure of the use of generative AI means, I’m not against it. I think there is nuance to what can be done with it. Using final art assets? It’s theft. Writing? Theft. NPC behaviour? Definitely not.

How do you side load apps onto iPhone?

IPoF? IP over Fax? Almost as good as IPoAC.

Time for pirate sites to use something other than cloudflare?

Would it have been better if they were named “Safe Pyrotechnics”?

I think they mean the automated party queueing and match making systems, which takes out the social aspects from MMOs altogether.

Okay… And what’s China going to do with your encrypted data running through their VPN servers?

Maybe that’s all the more incentive to use them, since they deffo won’t tattle on you to the UK or Canadian govt.

Must be a pricing issue.

That dude is +4 for me, and I haven’t noticed any weirdness!

But Microsoft already bought Activision Blizzard.

Magnetic USB cables are usually dogshit though. They are not defined in the USB spec, so it’s the wild west out there.

Stop lice!

No, they are saying that Android and Apple both have a privacy issue on the same level.

Maybe it’s the regular vs Pro lineup. I never had any experience with the regular lineup. I’ve bought my wife a 14 Pro, and the experience there is the same as on mine.

Weird, I have the opposite experience. After an S3 Mini and a Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro, my gf let me try her iPhone 8 for a bit and I was amazed by how smooth it was running. I’ve bought a 11 Pro in early 2020 and have been using it ever since. Still works like on the day I’ve bought it, no slowdowns, smooth as hell. I did do a battery swap after the fourth year though.

I wouldn’t mind trying a Pixel with GrapheneOS though. But all Pixels are so large compared to the iPhone Pro lineup.

Man, I had an uncle that would routinely go 5 around his cottage. He always wore an oversized shirt that would cover his bits, but still. Weird dude.
