Edit was because it's uncalled for. Hoped you wouldn't have to read it. Sorry about that.

The article makes a presumption, that the active listening is actually sending voice data as audio. Then tries to splurdge, that "acsthually it's other data"

Then tries to splurdge, that they would require to download all "wanted" words as keywords, and it wouldn't be feasable.

Not like you would only need some words of intent "I would like to (enter 10 s of transcription)" and just hit send.

The whole article smells of washing, and the question is directed to other people, who maybe followed the story more closely, and actually has the idea what exactly is "active listening". Maybe someone reversed engineered it.

Thanks for your useless comment

Wasn't the whole CMG active listening about sending transcription data only? It's not like it can't be done directly on the device..

Nintendo is extremely aggresive when it comes to intelectual property.

There is an argument to be made, that IP laws are too powerful giving exlusive rights for shit ton of time (170 years or sth like that)

The law basically is there for corporations to force small companies out of business and keep their monopolies.

So just excersing a law written by the rich for the rich, for them to stay rich is evil. And by extension the company is evil. And by extension, not supporting the company is inherently good.

You can be principled on multiple fronts at the same time, food for thought...

Steam deck is as plug'n'play as it gets. With direct steam game purchase you just play.

Where do you see more fuss?

Where does one just use such edition?

I love how this trancends language barriers

This graph is strange to say the least. Are there reasons why it doesn't add up to 100%?

Interesting, although most info about cluster munitions I've read were tube artillery (the leaving convention part). Since tube artillery has little in path correction. (There are a few, but most of it is not)

The countries will have to purchase or produce the ammunition, because they don't have it stocked. Though.

Just to be clear:

I completely agree that fragmentation-based ammunition is much safer for everyone involved.

I can also agree how it might have some additional Effectiveness in offenisveness, just because your not mining your path forward at the same time.

I also agree that such artillery might have little use against combined-arms based combat USA uses.

But I'm yet to see proof, that it beats air released cluster munitions, when trenches or foxholes are involved. A.K.A. The Great War style warfare. (Which Russia seems to be oriented with)

Also with current transparent battlefield, any artillery and single-use drones reign supreme. So with the new META changes it does feel that we're arguing about nothing substantial at this point.

Anti personnel mines are used together with anti armor mines. They provide the crucial element of slowing de-mining by not allowing infantry (mobiks) doing that by hand. Used alone you could argue, that they are not so effective, but that works for any weaponry.

My argument is use whatever weaponry is effective. Even if it is old technology. Would be stupid otherwise.

Also arguing for rocket artillery to replace casual artillery is... Strange. Rocket artillery is expensive and it's ammo is used up very quickly. I doubt any country can allow itself avoid regular artillery.

Cluster munitions and anti-personel mines are effective AF, seeing how the Ukrainian-Russian war is progressing.

The countries in question will create additional factories just for these bad boys. The old stock if any is pretty much useless.

These things are dangerous for civilians, but far less than an aggressive nation by your doorstep. Notice how all the countries border Russia?

It is useless if you have air superiority, but only US has that, and no one believes they'll honor article 5.

At least Biden support is continuing

There are like a thousand different cloud providers. They provide exceptional services, even for better prices. Just google your local VM providers.

For the Visa/Mastercard EU has instant bank wire transfers, all you need is an IBAN.

The hardest switch is everything that is Windows-based IMHO. So much software is written for x86 Windows it's not even funny.

Pretty funny seeing it happen for the second time

Why do you say so?

I'm quite surprised about the high percentage, considering that it's not a given that Canadians would be equal in terms of citizenship (voting for example) if annexed by USA

Easy there, Powder... Although you are absolutely right

Money is your vote on what the society should produce. Income inequality actually fucks over everyone except the wealthiest. That's why everyone is bombarded with ads for luxury items. While housing, food, and medicine is becoming more unobtainable.

It's a long process initiated during presidency of Dalia Grybauskaitė that required cooperation by all 3 baltic states. A lot of work was done preparing for network stability and resilience from outside actors (Russia). That is why so much news covering this.
