It’s 70,000 claimed clips for a single ad. From Coca-Cola’s official YouTube channel, the AI ad in question:

The “behind the scenes” video with the 70,000 statistic:
Even with all the tweaking time in the world I don’t believe you can get a pc set up so that it can reliably and intuitively be operated with just a controller 100% of the time.
The Steam Controller also had a failed attempt in 2015 so I guess that’s also out of the question then?
No, not just his methods, unless you agree with shit like this:
Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good and successful. They hate America, they hate Western civilization, they hate white males, they hate rationality. The reasons that leftists give for hating the West, etc. clearly do not correspond with their real motives. They SAY they hate the West because it is warlike, imperialistic, sexist, ethnocentric and so forth, but where these same faults appear in socialist countries or in primitive cultures, the leftist finds excuses for them, or at best he GRUDGINGLY admits that they exist; whereas he ENTHUSIASTICALLY points out (and often greatly exaggerates) these faults where they appear in Western civilization. Thus it is clear that these faults are not the leftist’s real motive for hating America and the West. He hates America and the West because they are strong and successful.


From that article it looks like this is supposed to be a joke and you’re not actually supposed to hold such a position unironically.


Why is it not surprising? Are people with anime profile pics more gullible or ignorant than the average person?


We already have tools to rank titles and if it is AI slop, a low effort copycat game, the ratings will reflect this regardless of the tech that may or may not have been used.
It is not enough for me. I want to know if AI was involved so that I can avoid it even if it is good.
I have seen enough devices get kneecapped by the manufacturer after release to know that the FSF’s viewpoint is the correct one.
If you don’t make a conscious decision to disallow free software it becomes too easy to normalize its inclusion.
even prior to bookworm it wasn’t endorsed due to having the toggle in the first place, which I find super weird.
They probably predicted (correctly) that this attitude would eventually lead to the decision that they ultimately made in 2022.


You can use letters and symbols in windows hello pins.


You can use windows hello without biometrics.


I don’t believe there is any particular advantage of linux insisting on password input for privilege escalation. Obviously there is no proof of this, but I suspect that the design of this privilege escalation flow in linux is at least partly caused by its popularity as a server OS, for example the UI flow for Windows UAC wouldn’t work if you’re trying to remotely administrate a server through the terminal.
Is Windows + UAC + no password secure?
It should be, in fact I believe that by default if your local admin account doesn’t have a password set, remote logins and run-as is disabled for that account so you might even be able to argue that it is more secure. It’s probably one of the reasons why Windows 11 comes with a recommended option to disable passwords and only authenticate through Windows Hello.
I’ll try to exercise my “assume good faith” muscle here because I think the above poster is at least genuine about what they are posting: I believe this poster wishes that the people who oppose the proliferation of AI at the cost of human connection would “put their money where their mouth is” by reaching out to the people that this poster feels are unfairly ignored.


Yep. I thought $100 for 8TB was expensive when I checked earlier this year and now the cheapest one is $140. Fuck 😂


You can generally pass through modern Nvidia GPUs as the entire device, provided that you let go of it in the host. It not supporting vGPUs just means you can’t virtualize and split up the GPU workload across multiple VMs, which I believe is also the case for consumer AMD GPUs as well.


The above post only applies for HTTPS traffic using a third party secure DNS - traditional P2P torrenting will leak what you are downloading to your peers. There are anonymous P2P networks like I2P that (allegedly) solve this issue, but it is not widely adopted.


For virtualization users, the driver addresses a soft lockup issue involving the vfio-pci module, which could occur after powering off a virtual machine with a passed-through NVIDIA GPU. This fix improves reliability for users running GPU passthrough in environments such as KVM or QEMU.
