That’s better in all cases. But the original comment sounded like “look how I can go to this authoritarian county, encounter police who would ask me for my phone, and remain free and safe afterwards”. That would not be a good idea.

So you are okay with not getting your phone back from authorities…

That’s not an expectation. The experience is that this became a reality thanks to google, and that it will only get worse in the future. More competition within browsers is the expectation. Better chance for better frameworks to emerge. Eventually it may cause google code to shift into a better overall state too.

When trying to render a relatively simple page consisting few thousands of text lines in a table, any current browser will cause mouse cursor to lag for some time, then you’ll discover it consumes at least 2 GB ~ 4 GB of RAM. YouTube lags like I have 2 cores instead of 16. Any electron app is either clunky or too clunky, also either hungry or too hungry.

I’m sorry but I don’t have time to look up other cases.

I can’t understand how people can continue relying on chrome and derivatives like electron, CEF etc. and not see it as a problem.

it’s the most elegant and cohesive system. My favorite example of this is when you send an email with Mail.app. Pressing send plays a whoosh sound effect and it’s in stereo! Discovering these details over the years has been a delight

Omg an app is able to play a sound!

I wonder if it means something for handheld devices like Steam Deck.

I think AI doesn’t need consciousness to be able to say what is on the picture, or to guess what else could specific details contain.

They don’t reconstruct anything and they have no understanding of what the image contains.

With enough training they, in fact, will have some understanding. But that still leaves us with that “enhance meme” problem aka the limited resolution of the original data. There are no means to discover what exactly was hidden between visible pixels, only approximate. So yes you are correct, just described it a bit differently.

I mean if we consider just the reconstruction process used in digital photos it feels like current ai models are already very accurate and won’t be improved by much even if we made them closer to real “intelligence”.

The point is that reconstruction itself can’t reliably produce missing details, not that a “properly intelligent” mind will be any better at it than current ai.

How is guided pattern recognition is different from imagination (and therefore intelligence) though?

Did someone think about backing up the commit history? I believe it can be useful for future devs.

Installs are nothing. Fork it. Improve it. Even better if original devs would still contribute.

It’s already a tragedy if original developers will no longer work on it. They also worked on citra. Generally speaking, I think human resource is crucial and emu devs aren’t doing enough to protect themselves.

through business savvy predictions.

More like through shoving its solutions onto everyone around.

And nope, “earn” is a wrong word.

You’re not actually following what I’m saying and just keep going.

This is false.

If you want to believe there are zero Russians with basic opsec knowledge

This was never assumed in my comments.

Though if you want to believe actions of Russian army like “buying Starlink terminals and using them on the front lines” can’t be opposed, I wish there would be enough people around to point out this fallacy publicly.

It’s not about what I want. It’s about what Starlink can do to make sure their help to Ukrainian army (which is paid by the US department of defense) goes only to Ukrainian army.

lol SSL does not make a VPN redundant, good lord.

I said it about what you described, not about actual VPN. In context of Starlink it’s like proposing to wear a mask while your neighbor still sees you from your window in your room.

And it doesn’t matter where they currently are.

Check the Starlink availability map. Starlink is able to command what each satellite does, and surely they can see the list of connected modules for each satellite, with accounts. Wether they use VPN or not is irrelevant.

Unless you think starlink employees are going to be analyzing the location data of every device in and around Ukraine in an attempt to figure out which devices are potentially under Russian control?

They could, it won’t take much effort, and it will be in everyone’s interest to analyze what can be done about it.

Have them delivered anywhere in Ukraine, wherever improves their chances of it actually arriving, and then transport it north.

North - where? Europe? Then to Russia and to the front lines? Then there is no point in involving Ukraine at all. Ukraine bashes EU for not controlling export with Russia properly, why would it not strictly control its own exports anywhere?

They aren’t going to have it shipped to the front lines

Where they were shipped before getting delivered to the front lines is not much of an interest, as it will still be different from batches that Starlink directly shiping to Ukrainian military as per agreement with the US government.

You keep approaching this like the people involved would be idiots.

1. I know a lot of people involved are not educated good enough to understand that they should not help Russian aggression.

2. What approach do you recommend? All I see is nasicay “Russians control everything and we are powerless”.

insuring the direct operator(s) stay in UA

The key point is right here. Staying in UA is not the same as using Starlink modules on the front lines. The UA territory is devided and it’s visible on Starlink’s availability map.

A VPN would prevent anyone from being able to tell what the data was, where it was going, what it was for. The moment a VPN is introduced, there’s no way to tell what the device is being used for.

VPN will not let the module use a satellite outside of its current location. Starlink is the service operator, not the website you connect to. Also SSL makes the VPN you describe redundant.

Russian operatives can still purchase things in Ukraine.

… And get them delivered how exactly?
