Stadia was a Squandered Opportunities masterclass. That platform had SO much potential; the tech was there, and the tech worked, but Google hired the worst possible person to run the project.

I mean… now that Grok mentions it, they do look kinda similar…


The final art will still be based on the AI (read: stolen) art.
You’re making assumptions both of the developers’ workflow, and of their AI models.


Because it’s not a big deal, and IGA are technopuritans who can no longer be taken seriously.


Which is why we have serifs, so you can tell the difference between I and l.


Welcome to Lemmy, where everything is wrongthink.


Search engines haven’t worked reliably for several years now, the top results for almost any search are from social media pages that you can’t even read without an account. The Internet is broken.


Read beyond the headline. This is about Pixel MDM including more data, not about RCS actually having any significant update.


This isn’t really even about RCS, but okay.


I used to work as a PQI contractor at Nest, and we actually had test setups like this in the office that were just a circuit breadboard mounted on a plate behind the thermostat. The thermostat doesn’t really “communicate” with the HVAC control system at all (all it does is just send ~3V along the circuits based on its current mode), so as long as you have the circuits routed properly on your board, the thermostat will think it’s connected to a real system.
The stock firmware doesn’t let you go above a certain temp (like 80F or something, I forget the exact limit). But if your custom firmware allows it, the only thing that would realistically happen is that it just runs a 3V circuit to what it thinks is the heater, infinitely, since nothing is actually causing the ambient temperature to raise at all. The ambient temp reading comes from a sensor on the thermostat, itself.


DEI isn’t intended to be “colorblind”, it explicitly suggests that employers give consideration to applicants from disparaged demographics, who may have otherwise been ignored during the application process. It doesn’t, however, imply hiring quotas; there is no such thing as “a DEI hire”.
Many people seem to confuse DEI for Affirmative Action, as evidenced above. This article explains the differences pretty succinctly: https://natlawreview.com/article/dei-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-v-affirmative-action-they-are-not-same
While Affirmative Action is often seen as a legal and policy-driven approach, DEI is more about cultural transformation and ongoing efforts to create a supportive and inclusive workplace. Both are crucial for building a fair and equitable society, but they operate on different levels and address different aspects of inequality. DEI initiatives, though can impact hiring, focus on the workplace and people in it. The intent is to embrace the collective, minimize bias and treat others in a respectful and understanding manner.


Rocks are woke now.


Neither of those are DEI.


I feel like you may not understand what DEI actually is. What, precisely, do you think a “DEI hire” is?


So Roblox is the only of those companies that can handle proper region failover if us-east-1 shits the bed?
Either that, or the reports stopped coming in since it’s a school day.
A lot of the affected services seem to be partially functional right now. It looks like the AWS network that went offline is one managing real-time analytics data, mostly.


Whatever you do, you shouldn’t accidentally spill saltwater on it. That could destroy a very expensive piece of spying equipment, and would be a terrible, tragic accident that could interfere with the advance of nazism.


Good idea! How do I get past the boarded-up doors, though?
But what would I fill the jar with?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
