Cool. I just thrifted an iMac G5 the other day, excited about its PowerPC architecture, and I while I was driving back, I was wondering if the Wii U was the most powerful PowerPC computer.

Are we at the point where we need a set up where java should almost always be off?

I think so, if you are vigilant about your privacy. That's what I've been doing for the past decade. I use uMatrix with IronFox configured with everything off by default, and I manually approve page elements. Occasionally it slows me down when filling out forms I need or something, but generally it's fine.

I think uMatrix cannot be used with Vanadium. I would personally recommend IronFox over Vanadium. GrapheneOS devs have recommended avoiding Firefox browsers in the past, but that may have changed ever since Firefox added per-site isolation to Android.

This is quite reductive of the situation. Android is not going anywhere, and neither are the third-party app repositories.

AOSP will be further restricted, but that really only affects anyone who doesn't use LineageOS / GrapheneOS / your favorite ROM. The Venn diagram people who care about side-loading, people who can't afford to switch to a supported device, and whose device is new enough to support the side-loading restriction is not zero, but they will be smart enough to go through the process of enabling side-loading.

Sorry, let me be a bit more specific. This article is an advertisement for Cosign from its CEO. It's an AI analysis of information provided accessible to an yone with a login to CoStar, and I might add, a poor one. It uses a lot of words to say little. If I were to guess, he paid AZBigMedia to publish it using a small amount of his advertising budget.

I don't care if it's a boring topic. I welcome niche. I don't care if people use AI to speed up their process as long as the result isn't trash. I commented because the article a waste of time. Please don't take this personally, you didn't write it, and maybe you found the topic it covers interesting.

I don't mean to be unkind, but if I see slop, whether human or AI, l will continue to warn others so they don't waste their time. I know the Phoenix community is pretty much dead, but please, no content is better than trash. Please be more selective what you share here.

This article is certainly AI slop.

I think by this time, the Wii had already been out for a bit, which for the record, could play GameCube games.

For sure. The SNES demo definitely didn't get far at all (if you play it there's not much there), but the N64 screenshots looked at least a little bit further in development.

I'll try it out later and report back!

A different provider would probably work. Unsure about the other ones here. I believe root is required to disable Sim Toolkit pop-ups or notifications.

In the US, on eBay you can get a used Pixel 7 Pro for around $200. It's a flagship from a few years ago, and you can install GrapheneOS. I'm willing to bet it's more powerful than this phone, too. I'd always recommend something like that first. Maybe not as feasible for people overseas though?

Yes, OEM Android is becoming more restricted, but LineageOS is compatible with most of these current devices and isn't going anywhere. Disclaimer: was never interested in emulation handhelds. I use my 3DS or phone with attachment.

Funny, I've been having a lot of problems with Mullvad DNS so I just switched to Quad9.

Ignoring my previous beef with PVS-Studio and the crappy AI-generated image...

I think the post is not entirely on the wrong track — dependencies can get pretty ridiculous, but some of the points he (or the AI?) makes are bizarre. I mean, recommending WinAPI over something "non-portable"? I guess there's always Wine, but I am genuinely curious about what crappy libraries he's using that are less portable than WinAPI. Also, you could argue most of the points he makes apply to code whether it's a library or not (for example, compiler compatibility and vulnerability patching). The best point he makes is the one about potential license changes, but even then, the example he gives is softfloat, which went from a hand-written permissive license to BSD, which if anything, made it more permissive.

My best guess is either it's a crappy AI-written article or his points only apply to whatever niche he specializes in.

So they used a distributed cache for a library that didn't need to be distributed, switched, and then profiled it for fun? It sounds like they might not even need SQLite, it could be accomplished in a few data structures.

Basic etiquette, you'd probably want to ask the university portal maintainer.

Scraping is generally considered bad manners, and yes you would be immediately blocked if you ignore robots.txt. I assume by OAI you mean OpenAI? I'm unsure what kind of integration your university has, but like with many AI integrations, there is little oversight, which leads to... oversights.

You didn't mention RetroArch, have you had any issues with that one? I know people have opinions on it, but it's always worked for me.

So, to start off, I'm someone who does not typically perform well during interviews because of anxiety (but through some miracle has had no issues with employment), so take this response with whatever bias that brings.

I believe this is bad too. You're still essentially asking a gotcha question, expecting one phrase in your answer and failing the candidate if you don't hear that phrase. And, in fact, I disagree with the premise. I think the question is defined quite well in the context of programming, given that someone answers with the possibility that there are many ways to hash something and many uses of hashing.

Don't want to get the project owner in trouble, but I think there is room for simply moving the project's jurisdiction, changing hands, and renaming the project.

Honestly, is anyone of value still on Twitter? Everyone I known has left. I don't think I've ever needed to view something on there in the past few years.

Oh, that's totally fair to call out, but to be honest, I didn't understand what you meant the first time.

It's a valid question that created a lot of interesting answers. When you shut down questions like these, people go elsewhere to ask these questions and get racist answers.
