Is this some SEO bullshit?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 months ago

It fits the definition they provided on that page.

I like the page on "Pumping" which as far as I can tell is a completely made up term https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/glossary/what-is-pumping/

It's like giving your computer a little energy shot, enhancing performance when needed.

wut?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

Lmao what.

As a software engineer who has a bunch of infra and hardware expertise too, I’ve never heard this terminology before

There's a page for "Minecraft commands" but not one for Minecraft. It's also incredibly wrong.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Oh no...

For example, they can spawn mobs, summon items, change weather conditions or even initiate a minigame.

To undo a command, the first thing you need to do is locate the command block that contains it. Then you can use the "/undo" command to revert back to the game state before the command was executed.

... while "/weather" lets you change the environment from rain to snow.

Building a house in Minecraft requires the use of several different commands. Firstly, you'll need to use "/fill" to quickly and easily create walls, floors, and other structures. After that, you'll want to make use of "/clone" so that you can copy and paste specific parts of your house without having to build them all from scratch. Finally, you'll use "/summon" to spawn in furniture and other decorative items. With these four commands, any player can have a beautiful home built in no time!

The 4th command is a secret well kept...

The "/noai" command in Minecraft can be extremely useful when trying to create a more challenging and realistic gaming experience. This command prevents any artificially intelligent entities, such as zombies and creepers, from attacking or following the Player.

Ah, yes, more challenge by literally making zombies be braindead.

LMAO /noai sounds like someone's successful attempt at poisoning the model

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

tbf it's pretty realistic for a rotting corpse to be braindead

Some finds:

Run

Yes, Run can significantly improve the startup time of your computer. By prioritizing essential startup processes and optimizing the boot sequence, it reduces the time it takes for your system to be fully operational after powering on.

Mickey

The number of mickeys in a mouse is determined by its hardware and sensor technology. Modern mice have high dots per inch (dpi) sensors, which provide more mickeys per inch, allowing for fine-grained control.

Incognito Mode

You should also clear out any cookies stored from sites visited while in incognito mode so that they don’t continue tracking you even after turning off private browsing modes.

The Future Of AI

"Will AI help me become a better programmer?" Absolutely. ... This means you'll be able to write code that's more efficient and with fewer errors, saving you time and effort.

Apparently the Mickey thing is an actual term, not something they made up

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I searched around trying to double check it, and the first related thing I found was this same 'glossary entry' :|

I went to a trivia night at a local bar with a guy from high school and his family. We were in contention for the top. The whole night I was useless, since most of the questions were about European sports legends or actors or singers from the 20th century. The guy starts feeling up the last question:

"This is a tricky one and one of my favorites. Going to the realm of technology... What is the name for a unit of measurement, named after a Disney character, which is related to how far your mouse moves?"

The whole family looks at me, cause I'm known to be a tech guy.

Complete blank. Flustered. Uhhh uhmmm it's called DPI? Pointer speed?? Is there a Disney character called Peter Pointer?...

We lost. They were disappointed, but not as disappointed as I was in myself.

Went up to the trivia guy at the end to ask him to show his sources. He pulled up a legit looking wikipedia article so I accepted my defeat.

Definitely AI, but they might do it because there is a lot of clueless parents who, when their kid have a problem with their game, decide to call the first brand they see on the PC (here Lenovo). Putting those answers in a glossary saves Lenovo's time.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 4 months ago

As a side note sqlite had a similar problem with McAfee:

2006-10-31: The default prefix used to be "sqlite_". But then Mcafee started using SQLite in their anti-virus product and it started putting files with the "sqlite" name in the c:/temp folder. This annoyed many windows users. Those users would then do a Google search for "sqlite", find the telephone numbers of the developers and call to wake them up at night and complain. For this reason, the default name prefix is changed to be "sqlite" spelled backwards. So the temp files are still identified, but anybody smart enough to figure out the code is also likely smart enough to know that calling the developer will not help get rid of the file.

Stealing that

They have like 100 different AI terms in their glossary, most of which just redirect to their page on ChatGPT lmao

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Didn't try very hard but couldnt get a prompt injection working. Not sure if it's software they wrote looking for terms or what but I got an invalid request.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I think it's pre-generated if it's giving everyone the same results. What probably happened was that someone fed all their help articles through an AI and told it to generate a glossary from them or something.

That's one way to protect your AI: airgap it

LMAO What the fuck are among us "bonus points"? (See the section about the goal of the game for context)

It's good to know that even the AI Lenovo uses also has just given up caring. I swear you could say to their CEO "Did you know you owned Motorola for a bit?" and the first question he'd ask would be "Did we make sure to kill the spirit of everyone who worked there?"
