GenderNeutralBro, in China's state subsidies in green technologies significantly higher than those in EU and OECD countries, distorting competition, researchers say

Okay. Good for China?

This seems like a really weird way to say “EU countries aren’t investing enough into green tech”.

jaschen, in China-backed hackers stepping up attacks on Taiwan, cybersecurity firm says

Please leave us alone. We are doing nothing to you. We just want to exist with your torment.

Jolteon, in Are you embracing AI?

I can definitely see a lot of potential in using LLMs like a templating service. The entire point of an LLM is to generate something that, on a surface level, looks correct, which is basically what a template is.

Hey consumers! Would you like a customizable function button that’s actually not customizable? Can we get VC money in the chat?!1/?!?

Maybe that is an L and it plays random Weird Al songs when pressed.

Likely it’s as simple as a pop up window with UI dedicated for constructing text with ChatGPT. Very useful, nothing more.

My guess is that you can reassign a different command just like other logi mice.

Jolteon,

I mean, crypto apps don’t prey on poor people anymore than casinos do.

Turbo… It’s that damn “turbo” again but now AI

In the eighties “turbo” was all the rage and I kid you not, everything had the label “turbo” on it. Now it will be “AI” all over things. Hold on to your hats boys and girls who were not alive in the eighties, it’s gonna be wild…

evatronic,

I remember. The turbo on my 386 didn’t make it faster. It made non turbo mode slower.

And009,

Totally makes sense, the non-turbo was always an eco-mode

DerisionConsulting,

Some games/software expected/relied on a certain CPU speed to run correctly. If your computer was faster than that, the software would run too fast. The turbo button let you toggle between the maximum speed your computer could go, and the speed that the software needed/expected in order to run normally.

Basically, there was an actual reason for the turbo button, it wasn’t just marketing on computers.

blindsight,

Indeed. As a silly example, I had a Pacman clone game that ran based on CPU cycle speed. I needed to turn the in-game speed setting way down and toggle turbo off to make it slow enough to be playable.

I hope you need a 500mb driver to use it too with an installer that pops up every reboot, even if you press cancel.

Otherwise, it’s clear that it fails at being a mouse

filcuk,

Don’t worry, logitech comes with a unified receiver driver, new unified app i forget the name of, logitech g hub, logitech options - and you’ll be forced to use a combination of at least 2 and likely 3 of those to setup a mouse.
As a bonus, the mouse won’t care to remember what button maps where, if used on a device without said software.

Vivendi,

A cheap shit MSI Interceptor mouse that I used for 10 fucking years and bought for chum change could remember it’s settings because it had persistent memory on device

And Logitech is still scamming the fuck out of people

Kissaki, in Finally a useful feature (no)

Will it move the mouse for me?

Trainguyrom,

I got one for work. It literally just pastes into ChatGPT

I know it’s officially not cool to like Rick and Morty anymore, but I cannot read a description of a suspicious bad thing called “Project Nimbus” that Google is getting itself involved in, without picturing a weird creepy sexual supervillain riding a giant seashell into a meeting with their executives

It became associated with aggressive internet shutins bleating about Pickle Rick and the szechuan sauce, although it's hard to tell where exactly the line was between "these guys are losers yelling and being obnoxious at McDonalds," and "stop cyberbullying we're all just internet weirdos who like a funny cartoon and that is fine." And then, Justin Roiland had some kind of sex abuse allegations and the worm turned and the world is officially supposed to hate Rick and Morty now, I think.

I mean, allegedly. I'm with you; some of it is still some great funny shit.

Thanks for the recap. Yeah I think I was more or less aware of most of those bits. I guess I didn’t get to the conclusion. 😅 Also I think they handled Justin Roiland’s issues fairly unambiguously. Assuming he was a bastard, I didn’t skip a beat watching the Justin-free season.

MindTraveller,

Rick and Morty fired Justin Roiland and got two new voice actors to play Rick and Morty. Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden. They’re great, they voiced season 7 and it’s the best season of Rick and Morty yet.

mozz,
@mozz@mbin.grits.dev avatar

I hadn’t fully been aware of the changeover, but yeah I saw season 7 and it was definitely more coherent and solid and less wandery and desperate than some of the middle seasons, absolutely there was an uptick in quality to me yes
