The interview then took a bizarre turn, with Huang admitting that he lacks some surprisingly basic life skills himself.

“There are a lot of skills that don’t matter,” he said. “My first confession, I actually don’t know my address… one day I had to pump gas — it was a few years ago. They needed my ZIP code, and I panicked. I didn’t know my ZIP code. I don’t know my telephone number. I forget these things. I can live with it.”

This is one of the people doing the most to destroy the world. Assuming he does not have dementia, what the fuck does he do all day? I thought he was just greedily selling the idea of not having to think, but it seems he genuinely loves not using his brain.

The worst part is the lack of transparency and credit to the actual authors. Many of the reposts are personal to the OOP, and it feels extra scummy.

Thank you! I think it fits a lot better as the icon to the left of the sh.itjust.works title. And possibly the favicon, if it scales down well.

If it matters, this was drawn in GIMP with a mouse, with a free maple leaf clipart thrown into the mix

There is a real lack of submissions, so here’s a Canadian flag lemming concept that somebody cool should pay an actual artist to re-make decently!

edit: fixed the text

Apparently not, and it works when the device’s audio is muted.

The AliExpress website was found processing a fixed audio waveform and examining the resulting numerical values. Tiny differences can arise from the browser, operating system, CPU behavior, audio hardware, and drivers. When combined with other signals, they become another input that can contribute to a browser or device identifier.

Investigation of the page’s code reportedly found audio-processing graphs that were set to zero volume but remained connected to the system audio output. That explains why a user could hear nothing, and why muting a browser tab would not necessarily prevent the processing. All the relevant work was occurring within the Web Audio graph rather than through a conventional media player.

That was unexpectedly powerful.

Back when I was messing with ROM hacking, I had wanted the ability to change the graphics without being constrained by the limitations of the SNES resolution and ROM size. My old dream of making a hand-drawn EarthBound without having to learn game development could become a possibility with this.

Also curious about the audio enhancement. Replacing all the samples and synths with uncompressed versions could destroy the original intended sound, but I wonder if the planned re-adding of effects can remedy that.

The clothing ripples are crazy

Holy vicarious hobbywork, thank you for bringing me along for the entire journey. Awesome skills!

Oh sweet, looks like the US is getting it’s own “Kim Jong-Un looking at things” style photo blog sometime soon.

Try plugging your monitor in a motherboard port instead of the GPU ports.

I hope this is still around when i need a new phone, because the ~$200 Motorola models have been GOATed for a while now.

Radical. I wonder if you can post a screenshot of how it looks from the forum side and have it show up in Lemmy.

That site only displays correctly in Wetscape

Scrolling while hovering over taskbar icons to control that app’s volume? The future is now!
