Yes, barrel distortion correction has been a basic software feature for decades.

Yes, it’s been well known, especially in California. Other places around the world are only learning this now apparently due to climate change.

Not at all. Anything an attacker can connect to is a potential vector.

Keep in mind, this goes for outbound connections as well. If something is compromised server-side, and you or your software reach out to it, that’s also a potential vector. Less likely, since the attacker has to compromise that server and pass their attack off as legit traffic, but it’s possible.

I have one. It’s not connected to the Internet, and it doesn’t complain about it. Works great for me.

Regardless of what you choose, consider what happens when you lose Internet service or power. A copper line needs neither. If a bad storm comes through and someone gets hurt, you need to be able to call 911.

Or get a modchip. Works great for me.

Don’t try doing the install yourself unless you have microsoldering experience. I killed a Switch when I tried it myself.

Yes. A settlement means there was no finding, and no admission of guilt.

The claimants have deemed it acceptable.

Models don’t need cracking. You just load them into whatever software and go.

Just use Immich. It’s easy and apes Google Photos.

Ente is the other main option, but I never evaluated it because Immich worked so well.

Connect via VPN instead of reverse proxy. Don’t expose services directly if you can avoid it.

Julia Roberts played fake Julia Roberts in one of the Oceans movies, so she’s qualified.

I’d be more surprised if people weren’t already doing this. They do with iPhones when they lease and upgrade with their carrier.

Maybe there’s some kind of filter software that could limit the visual whiplash. Like you can adjust brightness and contrast on the monitor, but maybe there’s some other software that could add motion blur to fast changes, kind of like volume leveling in audio. Even if a game doesn’t support it, you might be able to use something like ReShade or some system software. Just spitballing, you know your body better than I do.

Plenty of online games that don’t do that. Hell, you can play chess online. Any turn-based game shouldn’t have fast-moving graphics, for a start.

Why can’t you?

Used to be, maybe. I think they’ve changed.

Depends on how you define “win”. It only takes one small hydrogen leak for a catastrophe. A train will wreck any car or truck for sure, hit or miss with another train, but even a simple derailment of tanker cars often results in a significant mess.

There are nuclear rail transport containers that have been tested in collisions, and they’ve never leaked, but they’re very big and heavy for not a whole lot of volume. And they’re sealed, while a fuel tank needs holes to let fuel in and out.

No. I looked up the capability of lasers to permanently damage an image sensor. You’d have to get a powerful laser, small enough to be carried around, and keep it on your target at a distance. Such a laser would be expensive and not readily available for purchase, and trying to aim it would be nearly impossible without a tripod.

Yes, that’s basically what the article is about. They run the LLM across both GPUs.

But that’s a feature of llama.cpp. SLI doesn’t really exist any more, and NVlink requires a specific setup, which the 4080 is not part of (the 3090 was the last consumer one, apparently). So you couldn’t pool the VRAM.
