Google just permanently banned a manga artist’s entire Google account, just for uploading his own old manga files to Drive.
AI moderation triggered and flagged it, he tried to submit appeal then he got rejected it by Google and now he has lost everything like Gmail, Drive, all linked services is gone.
He never even sharing the files publicly, it’s only backing up his own a private work like any creator and artists.
This is Google Drive “AI moderation” in action. No human support and no serious to take action.
Physical storage or real private alternatives only.
Support the artists getting screwed by this. This level of corporate overreach is insane.
When Atari's last gasp, the Jaguar, came out, John Carmack was fascinated because it claimed to be the first 64 bit system. He really really wanted to work on it.
Literally everyone else at id Software felt the Jaguar was going to fail. For one thing, it was being marketed by Atari, a company with a proven record of ineptitude. But also we were doing so well with Doom on the computer side, why mess with Jaguar? Even more obviously - why do it ourselves? Couldn't we get some outsider to program Doom for the Jaguar, so the mighty John Carmack could spend his time moving ahead on Quake or adding a few features to Doom 2?
Nope. His mind was made up. The potential money made no difference, and he never used it to argue for the Jaguar. It was all about how fun and interesting it would be for him to learn it.
Well, John Carmack is John Carmack so he got his way.

Linus's views on AI:
- “AI is clearly a bubble, but it will change how most skilled jobs get done.”
- “Vibe coding is great for getting into programming, but it's a horrible thing to maintain.”
- “I'm a huge believer in AI. I'm not a huge believer in the things around AI. I find the market and marketing to be sick. There is going to be a crash.”
@GameSack I think it WD had just toned down the humor a bit (not removed it entirely) they would have been much less controversial.
Personally I'll take WD's with all its flaws over some of the "accurate" translations I've seen.
@GameSack A lot of people think they want literal translations instead of translator interpretations, but really, they don't. It's so bad. Conveying intent (correctly) and matching the vibe is more important.
@RetroRGB@GameSack While some of WD's writing is definitely goofy (they should've toned down the humor), I cannot stress how correct Bob is here.
Literal translations from Japanese sound so bad, and WD did an excellent job making the language sound much more natural in English.
USB C PD Li-On charging, regulators, video out, a GBA + GBS-DOL interface chip, and digital audio all on one PCB.
I have had to design some serious hardware for my projects, but this is the first time I have tried to fit everything for my portable on one board.
I'm tired man.
@klin1309@ElectronShep I've spoken to several people exactly like he is talking about, and no I promise he isn't.
They want products cloned so they can get them cheap.
It’s been a long time coming, but I’m nearly done with what I’m calling the ⚡️ElectronLCD⚡️
This is a general purpose LCD driver for low resolution RGBS video inputs (specially designed for the Sega Nomad, but other video sources are accepted as well).
Currently supports 3.5” and 4” displays (IPS and non-IPS) at 320x240p.
A powerful OSD engine has been developed with individual setting options for modifying the video output as well as quickly switching to known-good presets.
Thanks to @iFixRetro for all of your guidance throughout this project! If all goes well, then I’m expecting to have these available for purchase at the end of September.
@virtua_shenmue@ElectronShep My understanding is that it is a 640x480 image in a 720x480 frame, very odd tbh. Especially considering 720x480 is the EDTV standard I believe, and the Dreamcast uses RGBHV for output.
