Whatever they do, they better stay away from proprietary memory expansion, unless they want people to nope out like they did with the Vita. Anti-piracy measure my a**. Read more

I love the idea of a “playstation 4 portable” as much as the next guy, but from a business perspective, why spend the money developing more hardware to let people play the playstation games they already bought on the go when you can re-release your last gen games for PC and let people pay for them again?

You don’t need to trick ChatGPT to write malicious code. GitHub Copilot uses GPT without the guard rails, and writes whatever you ask it without complaint. It takes a few more steps and doesn’t write a whole program for you the same way ChatGPT does, but if you have prior development experience it’s still easy to get Read more

Got my account permanently suspended for “promoting violence” and then all my other accounts were suspended Read more

A ton of the schools in my area (upstate NY) were swatted yesterday. Even my daycare sent out notifications and updates about it. I think at least five high schools and several middle schools. Everyone was terrified for hours.  Read more

Every count should be an attempted murder charge.  Read more

The FBI executed an arrest warrant for Garcia at his Seattle residence on Thursday Read more

Does this mean Judge O’Connor might have someone from his family die because of religious something-or-other? Or is the politicians in robes’ insurance good enough? Read more

I got permabanned yesterday for “harassment” saying that anyone justifying lolicon porn was a pedophile! Read more

I’m amazed people still think 4chan is anything bad. Yeah, there is some racism, but seen worse things on 9gag or facebook. On worst boards (subforums) on 4ch you’ll see mostly porn, transvestites, mix of both, and unfunny jokes you’d hear in any rural area. On best boards, so like 99% of the website, there’s just Read more
