ChatGPT can't believe RAM prices in c/fuck_ai@lemmy.world
[–] 20 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I guess the AI's price memory was frozen at pre RAM crisis (or earlier), so it thinks the current (inflated) price is abnormal.

(BTW, I don't think police will take the case about the pricing, they would just tell you to find another store(s) with more reasonable price. :) )

    Valve aren't putting any exclusives on the Steam Machine because they see "the whole PC catalog as our 'launch exclusive'" in c/pcmasterrace@lemmy.world

    There were some games that can be run on Steam Deck, but will not run on other Linux systems, I think they might be able to do similar stuff for the Machine.

    IMO I think it is just limited the game's visibility, but ultimately it's up to the game devs. (Like tech support or "fairness" reasons)

    EDIT: This list show games that only run on Steam Deck or SteamOS, but not other Linux systems https://www.gamingonlinux.com/anticheat/status/steamos/

    It were possible but it's more on the developer side at that moment.

    Framework proved repairable laptops can work, but almost nobody is willing to buy one in c/technology@lemmy.world
    [–] 1 point 4 months ago

    I'm surprised noone builds laptops from desktop components. I don't care if it's huge. Just give me that

    Clevo did help other companies to OEM/ODM laptops with desktop CPU and sometimes with modular GPU module. But it's super rare in the current laptop market.

    The power consumption and the heat might also limited the performance they can give.

    Vietnam Bans Unskippable Ads, Requires Skip Button to Appear After 5 Seconds - Saigoneer in c/technology@lemmy.world

    I encountered a crazier one recently: the app will just refuse to start if you block the ad servers they're using, showing "connection unstable".

    Went to connection history and saw lots of requests to ad servers, unblocked them and I finally started the app without error, but yeah I did see ads too.

    I deleted the app afterwards.

    • Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret in c/technology@lemmy.world
    [–] 1 point 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

    eSIM is really hard to change device in Taiwan due to government (NCC Department) "instructions" (that carrier sometimes misinterpreted it):

    • Can not transfer by yourself, you need to go to carrier to transfer.
    • 300 NTD (~10 USD) per move (can be waived under some cases)
    • Might deny if you move too often recently.
    • And now (actually start few days ago), you need to show proof of purchase (or gift) of the target device. Carrier can deny if you fail to do so, and they'll say they're following government instructions. NCC said it should not be applied to eSIM as it's one-time use only, but such rule already executed for few days and caused troubles for some people.

    So physical SIM is more flexible here. (For now)

    EDIT: NCC Department said the instructions are just suggestions, carrier should do KYC properly, but how all major ones do the same annoying stuff is beyond me...

    EDIT 2: NCC Department clarified the new KYC instructions. (Chinese) 媒體揭露KYC指引相關報導恐有誤解，NCC今日邀集三大電信業者溝通說明，持續滾動因應實務情形
