haywire

AI generated content is great and all but it drowns out everything else on there. Anyone can type a prompt and generate a great looking image with a couple of attempts these days it seems.

The people spending days, weeks, months and more on a piece can’t keep up.

When it comes to WiFi Mac’s mobile phones have fudged them for “privacy” for years, if this goes main stream I see the same thing coming in for Bluetooth.

They promise the macs are random but I don’t have much faith in that.

Looking up a real Mac to see what manufacturer it came from is something I do almost daily sorting out network issues for customers and really is not difficult. From there it takes a leap to guess what the device is if it’s name doesn’t help but more often than not it’s easy enough to see what’s out there, the random macs of phones stick out like a sore thumb as they don’t come back as anything usually so you can then track that around the network and see what they are up to that way.

To be fair, they may have a rule about anything without the original plug/cord I know places near me do. Still a shame it ends up going to waste.

Isn’t that an animation in one of the 3DS titles?

No problem, hope you get things sorted. The formatting sometimes goes screwy posting on mobile so I try to space things out.

I’m intrigued by pasta and and strawberries, gonna have to do some research now

Boil pasta and drain.

Add tuna/sausage/vegetables (sweetcorn/cucumber/carrots work, pineapple if you are daring)

Add sauce, BBQ, Mayo, sweet chilli

Add cheese to taste.

Pick a combination that sounds good.

Tuna, mayo, sweetcorn

Sausage, cherry tomatoes, BBQ sauce

Eat enjoy. Got me through many tight times.

Yup, killed the one reason I had to go in there apart from the Pokémon codes.

Merch is overpriced, they won’t part-ex anymore. They closed stores and moved to crappy corners of sports direct and what not. It’s dying. It’ll be an online portal where kids send links to grandparents at Christmas soon.

Nintendo being Nintendo. They’ve killed websites, device vendors, projects and more. Otherwise Liksang and Bung would still be around. They take the same destroyer of worlds tactic to any meetings. Crush the opposition, no survivors.

This time I think the internet may surprise them, unless they just get a blanket order on anyone hosting copies of the code or related materiels.

I acquire the MP3 of the song I want from where ever I can find it. Be that buying it, YouTube converter or elsewhere. Then copy it to the SD card on my phone to listen to. No ads, no data connection needed. I even bother to set the album covers and tags up so it is all searchable in the Oto app I use on my phone.

Thinking out loud but wouldn’t chrome bookmarks for the URLs backed up to a file/account work better than a sheet of it’s just for access?

As we have mostly Windows based machines we look after everything is in Pulseway or TeamViewer. Routers and misc tend to be on specific ports on their connections IP and we have a shared Keeper repository for passwords and notes.

The company I work for has been buying other companies and customers like is silly season in the last year so we are digesting all the extra crud that came with it and trying to streamline half a dozen CRM, RM and Monitoring systems at the moment.

It may be a stretch but Spyro, Tomb Raider and Portal may scratch that itch it thier own ways. Rad Rodgers is a side scroller 3D shooter and anything in the Contra style is going to be madness. The old Skylander games depending on the characters you used could be played as shooters I suppose.

And since they are shutting down they won’t be in touch at all

RIP you butt

If it’s gonna use a load of memory let me theme it, colour schemes, skins based on games and let me switch off the community feeds that are full of shitty trying to be funny guides and crap.

Custom toast popups that pair with the game you are playing.

Reminders for the free stickers in the mobile app during events?

My thoughts are with those finding out they need to find new jobs, their whole lives just got upended.

With Destiny, we have had artificially extended seasons before, during COVID if I remember right. Seeing as we have stuff to do in game still we should be ok. Maybe they can mix things up a bit and rotate the exotic missions more often or allow a playlist of those.

Best thing to say when they let you go?

Forever is a long time to miss me!

I don’t have the DLC yet but I am enjoying some variety in the raids. Being able to transfer in some extra Pokémon from Home is cool too.

It might not even take that long. Inside 5 years they’ll be some other trend everyone’s chasing and they’ll have committed, they can pivot but they aren’t the young upcoming they once were so they get lost in the crowd of disaffected people entering their 30s with no outlook, no purpose without their “brand” and no way to start again.

Maybe I’m a little pessimistic, I never bother with social media. I see enough of it via my friends and family. Reddit/Lemmy gets the highlights so I don’t need to bother with anything else.

Influencer culture just needs to drop off a cliff.

I was expecting some exploit of the ancient underlying OS but that looked relatively simple.

The fact the exploit was able to infect config backups to persist is interesting too.

I’ve been using Firefox at home for as long as I can remember. I’ve not found anything I can’t do with it yet.

If something doesn’t work you can always try it in edge of something either way.

As little as possible!
