It’s a jet injector.

Numerous studies have found cross-infection of diseases from jet injections. An experiment using mice, published in 1985, showed that jet injectors would frequently transmit the viral infection lactate dehydrogenase elevating virus (LDV) from one mouse to another.[16] Another study used the device on a calf, then tested the fluid remaining in the injector for blood. Every injector they tested had detectable blood in a quantity sufficient to pass on a virus such as hepatitis B.[15]

But Jensen has shovels to sell!

Ai generated trailer, the face around ~2:10 is pretty bad.

AI Generated Content Disclosure
The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

During the development and live service of the game, AI-based tools may be utilized to support in game visual content creation, marketing materials, live chat translation features, and partial in-game dialogue and script localization. In all such cases and regardless of the workflow, the final product is a reflection of our own development team’s creativity and artistic expression.

It was more so a comment that they could have used a connector for the ram to make it user serviceable, instead of soldered on, and I combined it with a sentence that the storage should be user serviceable and upgradable instead of making my earlier comment overly explicit/wordy. The quote I took from ifixit right above even says that the mobile chip is why it was limited to 8 GB of RAM.

Some changes would have to the layout be made to accommodate fitting a physical stick instead of just the soldered modules, but there’s CAD software that plots traces, so that really shouldn’t be an issue.

All it takes is putting a SODIMM socket into the device instead of soldering in the RAM, making it possible to salvage the device if the RAM begins to fail. It’s a basic laptop, meant for browsing/writing documents, I can’t really see anyone swapping in 16 gb of ram to a device like this, and seeing any performance uplift.

The laptop is built on an A18 Pro, a mobile chip first seen in the iPhone 16 Pro, which limits the machine to 8 GB of RAM. Storage comes in 256 or 512 GB, and whichever one you buy is the one you keep.

They could have easily made the RAM and Storage user serviceable/upgradeable, and from what I can find, they don’t provide a way for the enduser to expand storage with a secondary SSD/HDD either, so you’re either forced to carry around an external hard drive for a product that is meant to be portable, or use cloud storage where you might not always have reliable access to the internet/data caps.

Anecdotal, but the only component that has ever failed on me is a hard drive, if that happened to me on the new mac book, it would be e-waste.

I actually thought your instance was dead for a while. Kind of funny finding out it’s still around on a post about another instance being offline.

If Steam is running in the background, it could be taking your controller input and remapping it to a keyboard and mouse input. You can quickly check by fully exiting Steam and seeing if your controller is detected correctly. If it is, you can try adding pcsx2 as a non-steam game like the other comment suggested (but then you would need to do this for every other non-steam game using a controller), or you could disable Steam Input for “Non-game controller layouts”.

With your controller connected, open steam in the upper left, and open to Settings > Controller > Desktop Layout > Edit. From there, disable Steam Input, and see if PCSX2 starts detecting your controller as a controller instead of a mouse and keyboard.

It’s an issue with VA panels starting cold. You probably notice that it’s more common when the temperature in the room is cold.

If your monitor settings appear at the bottom of your screen/overlap with the affected area, you know the issue is with the panel and not your gpu/cables.

My MSI Optix G24C has the same issues (uses a VA panel manufactured by Samsung), and can take a couple min to warm up if the room is cold and hasn’t been used in a while.

Just count the number of toes to make sure it’s real. Also, it’s well known that Elon has two left feet.

They honestly feel a bit like a satirical version of North Korea by isolating themselves with certain policies, and making crazy threats to anyone they can.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they locked online behind a ps+ subscription.

I think it might just be your NSFW filter. Not sure if it was always marked as an NSFW community but it is currently.

NSFW Off - doesn’t appear in the community list

NSFW On - shows as the top community when searching for Ukraine.

Have you checked that you haven’t blocked the person posting?

Also, those posts in the signed out view all have the English tag set, you may need to go into your settings and add English to your selected languages. Keep Undetermined selected as a fallback for when people do not set a language for their posts/comments.

Bots advertising crypto scam. If you look at the first comments they’re essentially all the same nonsense and just adding in random buzz words associated with crypto/ai.

Your subscription list is hidden when you’re currently viewing a community or a user’s profile. It should be at the bottom of your sidebar on the right if you’re on https://lemmy.world/ or whatever instance your account belongs to when using the default desktop view.

You can also use something like https://old.lemmy.world/ and your subscriptions will be in the dropdown in the upper left under “my communities”. This can be viewed even when viewing another community/user’s profile.

A little more complicated than that, if you want to go to a community hosted on your instance (in your case lemmy.ml), you would go to https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy. This is different from the Ask lemmy hosted at lemmy.world.

To navigate to this community hosted on lemmy.world from your instance, you would instead use https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy@lemmy.world <your_instance>/c/<community>@<instance_hosting_community>

deleted by creator

There are lots of reasons for for wanting to delete comments without wanting to delete any replies.

For example in this comment, I bring up the use of macros as a solution to fix a mouse issue. If someone brought up a point that this software was against the games TOS, I would want my comment removed as fast as possible because I view my comment as potentially harmful (and from context, it would have been obvious what the deleted comment would have contained). If there were other replies giving advice on how to solder (one of the other solutions I give), I would want those replies to remain visible to anyone else viewing the post. Some people, like me, might not have been aware that deleting a comment would remove all other replies, I’ve never seen a warning message that this would happen when deleting something.

Deleting the comment on mobile instead of editing out bad information is also a lot more likely because it’s a “one button fix”, and a lot more convenient than trying to edit the post (some apps don’t render markdown correctly, and may not display strikethrough text). With the above example, quicky deleting my comment would have been an appropriate way to remove harmful advice, and a reply warning about the use of macros and advice on how to solder would still be helpful without the context of the original comment they were replying to.
