I'm with you.

I tried out ChatGPT the first week or so but it is so apparently useless that I have been more and more depressed since then by watching the world get fooled by this illusion. It feels like a really bad magic trick where the whole audience seems to be impressed, while only I saw all the props and fakery.

Having discussions about this with friends and relatives becomes tiresome since they are so happy fantasizing about a future where they only need minimal amount of effort, while I became quite good at spotting GPT output and starting to see the same boring writing style in more and more places.

I wouldn't mind if facebook managed to present some interesting suggestions to me with this "AI", because their current algorithms just doesn't work out.

I have been trying to teach their algorithm that I am not interested in Ancient Aliens crap groups, but they keep being suggested to me.

I have probably blocked hundreds of these nonsense groups by now from their suggestions.

My issue seems to be that I am interested in actual archeology, and they seem to not make a distinction.

For everquest, there's been some projects over the years. I dont know if any is very active at the moment.

One is https://github.com/daeken/OpenEQ

For more info, see the EQEmulator / ProjectEQ discord channel #project-open-eq

bashing on "big science" seems to be the latest and greatest of the crapflood that is social media today

i saw a video addressing it the other day:

I am guessing the context here is:

MAME 0.262 was just released

It doesn't quite fit the bill of running on their own hardware

The article explains how ars was used for a second stage payload.

The device would have to be initially compromised by other means (by usb drive in their slides).

Browsing ars did not expose any users.

Did you read, or just writing comments anyway?

> You can't emulate 3DS on the Steam Deck

Its's just less work has been put into 3DS emulation atm, nothing else.

Some of the 3DS citra emu devs went off to focus on Yuzu iirc, but lately citra is more active again.

Firefox needs to have other income than the google search money, that's hardly surprising.

So did Opera, if you read the article you would have a clue. They described the Opera Mini moneymaker in the third paragraph already.

> The (summary) message seems to be: Don't use Opera because "The company is chasing trends and extracting the most money possible from its declining users".

Your summary is dumb. Here's why, and I quote from the article you claim to summarize:

> Hindenburg alleged that when the Opera browser continued losing users (due to competition from Google and Apple), the company shifted gears to building mobile apps that provided predatory short-term loans. The interest rates on those loans ranged from 365-876% per year, and loan terms from 7-29 days. Opera also falsely advertised longer loan terms and lower interest rates in the app descriptions, because the Google Play Store had rules against predatory loan services.

> The loan apps specifically targeted customers in Kenya, India, and Nigeria.

Nobody read the links anymore, just chatting??

Also, everybody check out Firefox, not corporate boring Chrome!

Their C# JIT [1] generates x86_64 or ARM native code. This is why it's fast.

UltraHLE was a very advanced emulator for its time (played Mario64 and more in January 1999).

> the successor will reset jailbreaking/emulation progress back to zero.

It is possible, but in the past Nintendo didn't reset.

Wii-U, 3DS and Switch share some parts in common still.

> Sure, games that run on 4.51 or lower are cracked. New ones? Uncrackable, until a new jailbreak is found.

The PS4 scene is full of downgrade patches. Many games targeting 10.x for example didnt make use of newer syscalls and it was discovered how to patch the game for 9.0 (the 9.0 firmware has a jailbreak).

FWIW, there's a path to downgrade PS4 to the previous firmware, see https://wololo.net/2022/12/06/it-is-apparently-possible-to-r...

> By contrast Playstation 4 emulation is barely at the proof-of-concept stage a decade after launch, and years into the lifecycle of its successor.

This is unrelated to being jailbroken. PS4 was jailbroken in october 2015.

> They learned from a lot of older emulator projects

They learned from themselves after doing just that for many years. Lately they have been working hard to get rid of game specific overrides.

They still have a gazillion tho, see here: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/tree/master/Data/Sys/...

There's models for this, see https://readcoop.eu/model/german-kurrent-and-sutterlin-17th-...

A social option is to look around in ancestry study circles on facebook for your country. I know we have one or two pretty good groups in Swedish with mostly old folks helping younger decipher old handwriting.

Yikes. About the discoverability issue. I can add a little story.

I can not for the love of my life get Siri to resume play in my native tongue. It is supported by Siri, I just have no clue on earth on what phrases she accepts. Tried many, started feeling dumb. Turned off Siri.
