The "iPhone SwitchBoard" of the feature phone world: Qualcomm Reference Devices

This is a Qualcomm Reference Device, the example here is specifically known as the "6280 F-US" as noted by the sticker below the screen. It's a very interesting piece of tech, including both BREW and J2ME runtime support as well as having a plethora of debug and testing apps.

I've also included some direct screenshots of the phone's user interface, shown below the photos of the phone itself. An interesting tidbit is that remnants of the icons and background can usually be found unused in certain CDMA firmware dumps of various brands. I am sad to report that "3D UI" does not do anything on this sample :(

And yes, the firmware has been dumped! Thank you again to MC4f for lending this (and many other) phones over. https://mega.nz/folder/DbB3FCAC#2OnBYDiCTt7qQYl9vRJRTA

Rema - The Making of “Baby (Is it a Crime)”

They.. they remind me of loser baby..

I’ve had this idea for ages but I couldn’t be asked to draw it until I was bored one night and insomnia was standing strong. 🫡

Gordon the big engine from Thomas the tank engine (preferably model era)

A 4-6-2 tender engine, the strongest and fastest steam engine on Sodor, pulls the express. Pompous and arrogant about his position, looks down on others as inferior, though also good hearted and willing to forgive or assist others.

Reminder, the premise is “would a normie think it’s weird to find them attractive?” (Would they have to “hear me out?”)

Applying for my Master's in gender studies kind of feels like shooting myself in the foot, but then again, it's not a useless discipline if it's being systematically censored and erased.

i need to remember to start specifying that when i refer to ia i almost exclusively am talking about her voisona/cevio 2.0 voice (and occasionally her 1.0 when talking about how good it sounds in certain electronic genres) because that really is the quintessential ia voice for me, maybe a little too much because i keep forgetting v3 exists LOL

#1622

Quillbot introduced a new feature: level of confidence its AI-for-AI supposes something has been generated or touched by the AI.

This feature, as predicted, rolls like the utter shitewheel it certainly is, because of course the AI will mark M-dashes and parenthesis incised into the sentence as at least AI-refined. And no, there would not be a clear guideline for how to use this feature.

By that I mean a clear instruction for how to… *sigh* Text generation is math. A lot of teeth-cracking math, some rigid programming, and all of that is based in linguistics. Neither field is particularly easy to get into and have a solid grasp on, so it should be logical a tool presented as easy-to-use and entirely-comprehensible in regards of all this—so in the form of percentages and now Confidence—*must* include explanations for either category with which it will mark texts.

welp

according to my doc, i hurt myself worse than i thought, so i am off fieldwork for a while until i get the go-ahead again. that means i'll be here more often for a bit, when not doing busy/paperwork.

so in lieu, feel free to add my Discord if you want to chat and plot at all!
