- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 6 days ago:
Bad terminology choice, I meant the cert issuer. Need to revise the language later. I was thinking of it in terms of who verifies your IRL identity. The issuer can only issue the cert after you met them and they checked your documentation, etc

More like getting a TLS domain cert from a CA both sides recognize, but yeah

Zero-knowledge proofs still require that third party but only once, to issue it initially. Then the user can issue their own proofs locally
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 6 days ago:
Correct, as a cryptography nerd I can assure you that you MUST at minimum have a trusted verifier which met you in person at some point (such as whatever office you get your physical ID card at) and they have to have your information.
And then you’re trusting both Secure Element hardware and fancy cryptography where both must be flawless in order to protect the end user’s side of it, all while the end user now carries much more personal information with them than before

That’s because it doesn’t, your brain does
Speakers do the simplest thing possible and literally just vibrate. A recording being played literally just recreates a recorded vibration. It’s a tiny choreography that your ears are incredibly sensitive for.
All the fancy stuff happens in our brains, after our ears has split up the sound around us into different ranges of frequencies (you can think of the hairs in the inner ears as tuning forks). We learn to recognize which frequencies goes together, and then we learn how the frequencies from multiple sources can overlap, and we learn what it all means
The real crazy part is how something as simple as sound can carry so much information and how reliably our brains can tell it all apart and make sense of it

- Comment on While we eagerly await the second coming of Steam Machines, it's worth remembering what a gloriously awful mess Valve got itself in over a decade ago 2 weeks ago:
The secret trick is that they can do both.
The actual software target is their Steam Linux Runtime container. So all you need to install is the container environment, and if your 3rd party OS does that for you then you’re already done.

Depends on model. Almost all older ones does (using radiation from the isotope to electrically charge smoke particles that pass through, which then can be detected by a sensor).
Many newer ones are optical.

So the term you want to look your is telescoping controller, when you’ll use it with a foldable.
Something like this one would be perfect with a Razr for DS emulation;

Galaxy Fold running Nintendo DS emulator, with theme
If you have a split game controller, I recommend using that over touchscreen controls. And using a controller like this plays better with a vertically aligned foldable phone (clamshell) rather than the pseudo-tablet sideways foldables, as you fully recreate the original physical controller layout
- Comment on The Last Truly Custom Nintendo: A 3DS Retrospective 4 weeks ago:
Some of the things make sense, but overall I agree.
3D display simply died, everybody did it for a while but so few things used it well that it wasn’t worth the cost (especially since it hurts quality unless you can get the player to use special glasses).
You could use touchscreen compatible stylus, but no extra features connected to it.
Definitely miss analog triggers, which also hurts emulation (GameCube). Something streetpass-like could’ve been put in the mobile app (which also is way too limited and supported by too few games).
Absolutely miss customization too.
Gen 1 Switch should also already have gotten a top side USB C port - with support for accessories like a camera + mic (which wouldn’t have necessarily been built in, but supported).
Switch 2 could benefit so much from better local discovery especially now that it has GameShare, you could have it passively advertise supported games so you could discover opportunities to play even games you don’t have (much like how Download Play used to work on the Nintendo DS and GBA)

3.0 and 2.0 are very different. 3.0 has more pins and gigabit speeds. It’s 3.0 and 3.1 which are essentially equivalent, and USB 3 Gen 1, and whatever else they called it

No, they called it a non-stick non-toxic coating, they didn’t originally claim ceramic.
They claim the new surface is ceramic (and it looks plausible from seeing how damaged pans look in photos)
