aww, that woulda been funny :p

just saw all the clones posted at engadget...really mind-boggling.

i may get one but theres no use for it as an mp3 player since i have an ipod, i probably wouldnt play games at all, and i wouldnt really watch a lot of movies on it. so, is there really any other uses for it, or would it seem useless to me?

it's useless to you...you wouldn't use it for all the things its intended for

I am going to get my brother buy one from the USA, what are the chances that it has a defect. I mean dead pixels can happen after purchase, but the chances of bubbles etc.?

Also I think I will get Ridge Racers, I guess no one has any complaints.

I heard somewhere that in the near future, sony will release psp's with better batteries, so that the 33mhz barrier can be reached without taking a huge hit on battery life.

That's what they've been planning from the start, eventually they will since the PSP is only running at 50% = 222. (and it's 222mhz not 22)

I just noticed something about the way the PSP handles photos. I used JPEGBook to convert a lengthly eBook and it came out at around 1600 images.

However, despite there clearly being 1600 images in the folder, only 1000 images could be displayed and the remaining 600 were unaccounted for. I can only assume this is some limit to how many images it can deal with in one folder. (Btw before anyone mentions it, yes 1000 images in a folder is more than sufficient for most peoples purposes ;))

that would suprise me.  but you have no problems putting the remaining 600 in a second folder right?

also, pretty cool usage of the psp, never heard of anyone using it for a book before.

Yeah that's what I did, split the files across 2 foldersso it's all good. The programs been around for a while and can only convert a text file with no formatting into a stack of JPEGs at the PSPs native res

I'm still a bit meh about Mercury, perhaps it's because I've had no time to get into it but having played and loved Monkey ball the dynamics feel inferior. I know it's totaly different but it's not. The nub doesn't really do it justice.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
