But he does have a guess as to why Nintendo targeted him. The first copyright strike landed on his video about the MIG Dumper and the MIG Flash, a pair of devices that let you turn genuine Nintendo Switch cartridges into digital files and then carry around an entire library of those ROMs in a special microSD-equipped flash cartridge for your console. I’ve watched the video, and while Crandall does explicitly take an anti-piracy stance, it’s easy to imagine these gadgets being used by bad actors, too.

“I think the first strike was simply due to the fact that they wanted to minimize attention around the MIG Flash cartridge and dumper […]"

Looks like he also mirrors his channel on Odysee, so the removed videos can still be seen here: https://odysee.com/@retrogamecorps:6/mig-flash-v2-and-cartridge-dumper-review:9

Kitboga has used AI (STT, LLMs, and TTS) to waste the time of Scammers.

There are AI tools being used to develop new cures which will benefit everyone.

There are AI tools being used to help discover new planets.

I use DLSS for gaming.

I run a lot of my own local AI models for various reasons. Whisper - for Audio Transcriptions/Translations.

Different Diffusion Models (SD or Flux) - for some quick visuals to recap a D&D session.

Tesseract OCR - to scan an image and extract any text that it can find (makes it easy to pull out text from any image and make it searchable).

Local LLMs (Llama, Mixtral) for brainstorming ideas, reformatting text, etc. It’s great for getting started with certain subjects/topics, as long as I verify everything that it says.

For fun I’ll probably setup GLaDOS like what was done here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1csnexs/local_glados_now_running_on_windows_11_rtx_2060/

Orison in Star Citizen. One of the coolest cloud cities in gaming with some of the most amazing sunsets.

Edit: It’s hard to pick a picture that captures the experience (so I picked a few). A video is better, but actually being there in-game is a whole other level. Everything from the bars, food court, living spaces, shipyard and space port add to the experience.

Ok, this is a bit more than what the title implies. This isn’t just outputting the code in text, but rather the ability to verify its own answers before responding to the user asking questions using code.

Claude could attempt these tasks before. But, because it lacked a mechanism to mathematically verify the results, the answers weren’t always incredibly accurate.

So now if you ask it a math question or for it to create some visual bar chart, it will actually do the work to verify that what it’s saying is valid.

I’m sure there will still be ways to trip it up, but this is a good step forward.

Yeah. I have a note hidden somewhere on my phone where I keep track of the dates for every time I lose the game. That way I can keep track of every time I restart and how long I lasted.

No! I just lost the game…
I made it a little over a year this time though…

Any kbin user can see everyone who upvoted something. They used to be able to see all of the downvotes as well, but that was disabled with most kbin instances…

As far as I know, all you need to do is find a kbin instance that allows their users to see both upvotes and downvotes (or set up an instance yourself).

It’s best to treat your votes here as public if you’re coming from Reddit where you normally expect this to be hidden.

What do you mean?
All I see are hearts and love ❤️❤️❤️❤️. /s

If you’re going to be wasting space for a QR code, you might as well make it look good.

The Netflix version of mobile games have their micro transactions removed (or at least all the ones I’ve downloaded).

Most likely a VPN issue as Lemmy.world attempts to block vpn users from creating posts/comments.

You can still upvote/downvote though.

It would be interesting to see just how often Instagram sold its users’ images to companies creating generative image models.

I see a lot of artists complaining that their work was used for training, but they also agreed to upload their photos to a company along with a royalty free license.

Another reason why content creators should be mirroring/uploading their videos to other platforms like Nebula/PeerTube/Odysee/etc.

And that’s when scammers/disinformation campaigns can really take advantage of this system.

People are more likely to trust a “blue check mark”, so finding every way to trick the system into either giving one, or making it look like they have one will become a high priority.

Probably “Trap Adventure 2”.
Imagine an old Mario game where Bowser has the most rediculous traps set up. You need to memorize all of the trap locations as well as have the coordination to tip-toe around them to survive.

Though Nintendo’s not going after Pocketpair because lamballs look uncomfortably similar to wooloos, we do know the company is famously litigious in protecting its brand.

So no one really knows what exactly Nintendo is accusing them of yet.

Here’s an older video by an attorney that did a deep dive on Palworld and its legality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns3ATH556NU (Warning: long video).

Edit - Update:

A patent lawyer Was able to narrow down which patent that they could allege was infringed by looking at the combined patents between Nintendo and The Pokémon Company (since they filed a joint lawsuit). There are 28 possibilites and they are claiming that multiple patents have been infringed. https://gamerant.com/nintendo-pokemon-palworld-pocketpair-lawsuit-which-patent/

One likely candidate is a patent that was filed (and requested that the review process be expedited) in July of 2024 that’s “primarily centered on creature-catching mechanics”.

This has been driving me crazy.

I’m using a Pixel with GrapheneOS and the FUTO Keyboard.

Slight workaround for everyone on Android: Click the keyboard selector at the bottom right of your screen and just select the already active keyboard. This will temporarily fix it until you start to type up a different comment.

Flappy Bird wasn’t the first to even implement a game like this.

I remember playing a very similar game with a helicopter and another one with a worm long before that app released for phones.

Flappy Bird is just the game of this type that ended up going viral in its time.
