The reason those games are so popular is that they’re inherently exploitative. I have no issues with predatory app developers being priced out of business.

Correct.

It’s hard to care about people who develop games to encourage and monetize on gambling addictions.

That’s the point that’s being made.

One of my wife’s friends just had her trip to Japan delayed by 36h and she just got an email saying she’d have to go through the CTA even though they promised her the money at like 3 separate points.

People actually read the article?

Good riddance. Less bullshit to uninstall when I get a new phone.

It’s all relevant text. Like I said, you have to intentionally try to hurt yourself with a microwave. A bit of a shield leak won’t do anything.

Yes, but a neural network is just a collection of ML algorithms.

You were wrong about everything else, but surprisingly you’re right in this instance.

It’s not. There are two types of electromagnetic radiation: ionizing and non-ionizing.

Ionizing is the radiation that is bad for you because it also shoots little tiny particles at you that damage your DNA. Think X-rays

No-ionizing radiation doesn’t shoot tiny particles at you, so it’s mostly safe. Microwaves use this type, and it’s the exact same radiation your wifi router uses (which is why it can cause interference)

The worst a microwave oven can do to you is give you a burn since they work by heating up water molecules. But, that would require you to trip the door switch and putting a body part inside.

So, in conclusion, it’s basically impossible for a microwave to harm you with EMR unless you’re actively trying to make it harm you.

Also, as an added bonus but of knowledge, it’s completely safe to microwave metal, if it’s in the right shape. Some microwaves even have a metal rack for heating up casseroles and such (mine did at one point)

A few months ago I was tasked with translating a script from one IBM emulator program to another because the owners of the first program wouldn’t respond to requests to purchase a new license.

The scripting language used on both was unique to the software, and the documentation was basically non-existent. Plus, the script was written over a decade ago, and the guy who wrote it was long gone.

For weeks I banged my head against the wall trying to figure out the logic flow before I realized that it was essentially BASIC, which I haven’t touched in over 20 years.

I mean, true AI isn’t really a thing yet. People have been using AI wrong for a very long time now. Even ChatGPT isn’t real AI.

Microwaves leaking radiation is absolutely not a health hazard.

If operating a microwave interferes with any of your 2.4GHz networks, you need a new microwave.

You’re just trying to get the device into a known good state.

The truth is that it’s rarely worth trying to find the root cause of an issue unless it’s a frequent problem.

Something somewhere went wrong. We don’t know if it’s a hardware or software issue, so we’ll try a solution that covers both.

Powering the device off stops the flow of electricity, and waiting a few seconds makes sure that any capacitors (think of very tiny, very fast batteries) bleed off the power they’ve stored. Then turning it back on makes it go through the full startup process which is likely to result in a working state.

Or we could all just move to nano and be less frustrated.

Are you high?
