TL;DR My ZTE MC801A 5g router automatically received an update during the night (07/05/2024), since then, I can't enable the network.
Video (GIF) of the issue on this other subreddit that is allowing pictures: https://www.reddit.com/HomeNetworking/comments/1ctloxzte_mc801a_5g_router_connection_error_afte
The "Automatically check for updates" option is enabled by default. In fact, it's not only checking for update, nor pre-downloading them but actually installing them automatically. So this firmware update was forced into my device by ZTE.
On the API, the upgrade_result value being "error" is concerning, I've joined the firmware version too.

➜ curl 'http://192.168.0.1/goform/goform_get_cmd_process?isTest=false&cmd=upgrade_result,wa_inner_version&multi_data=1' -H 'Cookie: stok="edited"' -H 'Referer: http://192.168.0.1/' -s jq { "upgrade_result": "error", "wa_inner_version": "BD_LIVEUKMC801AV1.0.0B03" } 

It seems firmware versions depend on the region / area of the world you live in for regulatory purpose.
There is no new update available I could have applied to hope fix the issue.
Also, I tried 2 times a factory reset, but the firmware version stays the same. It seems to only reset the setting and not reflashing the original system image, so the firmware is not downgraded to the original factory version by doing so. So I'm locked with this broken firmware.
Naturally I tried to contact the support by email to get assistance with this issue. They don't want to provide any help by email so they are redirecting me repeateadly to the "UK Service Center" which are only reachable by phone on a UK landline. But I'm in France, I'd like a French support or at least a written english support by email or on a ticketing platform, not to call on another contries with communication taxes where I would have to speak in a non native language. It sems they have no support in France.
The device was bought on Amazon France, on the official ZTE Store. But ZTE is claiming the "device’s IMEI number, we found that it was originally sold in the UK, not in France. As a result, the software installed on your device is tailored to the UK region requirements." I don't care, I bought the device in France, on a French website, on the french official ZTE store, so if ZTE sold the wrong version, it's theur fault.
So ZTE is not really helping, it doesn't seems they really care, they just keep repeating they same stuff with contacting the UK landline phone number. Or telling me to reach the Amazon support. I bought the router to a friend that directly bought it on Amazon so I don't have access to his account to contact Amazon support.
Has anyone any idea how to fix this issue?

I'm looking for some input for a project I'm working on. I'm building a new sporting goods store using WordPress/WooCommerce. I'm trying to automate the process of grabbing data feeds from my suppliers, running each of the products through ChatGPT to create thorough and search engine optimized product titles and descriptions, then publishing those products in my WooCommerce store.
I have tried automating this process using Zapier, but I ran into a few road blocks.
Do any of you have experience with something like this? Can you provide any suggestions on how I should go about passing information from a spreadsheet (each line of the sheet representing one of thousand of my supplier's products) to be processed by ChatGPT using my custom "Catalog Manager" GPT, and then posting that product to my WooCommerce store?
Thanks in advance.

I ran a test buy from Weidian store thru Hoobuy. Heres how the process went for me...
Everything was pretty simple all the way up to the checkout. You pick your product(s), load it to the Hoobuy site, add it to cart (I ordered 3 things), pay for it and Hoobuy takes it from there simple...
Now once you pay for it it's out of your hands. Let me say the contact option is utterly useless as I've sent multiple chat request and emails with no response and the first email was sent 25 days ago.
On to the process Hoobuy will accept payment and move the purchase along to the orders tab where you'll be given an order number for the complete order at the warehouse (I.E. if its multiple products it's still one order number). Now, each product will be given status updates individually (received, quality inspection, submit parcels, shipped).
Back to the order. 3 products (shoes) same store, same day, and under same order number. While one product was QC'ed bonus pics taken and ready for me to pick shipping in 2 days the others have been sitting in a received status for 30 days with no movement as I'm writing this.
For the pair that was made available to be shipped (parcel). I choose the cheapest option USPS in my case. After purchasing shipping for 1 product (each product will have its own shipping price) again I saw this process happen quickly. From the time I paid for shipping to the time I received a picture of the package ready to be picked up to be shipped, was a day and I was provided with a tracking number. Even though I had a tracking number USPS didn't have an update until 11 days later when it was picked up by a shipping partner then given to USPS. From that point it was pretty standard post office stuff took about 5 days for the item to arrive after the post office got it.
SHORT Story!!!!!!!!!!!!!
17 Apr order submitted 22 Apr order arrived at Hoobuy warehouse 23 Apr it was stored 24 Apr it was packaged 25 Apr Shipping Label created 06 May Arrived at airport and picked up by shipping partner 09 May left shipping partner 12 May arrived at USPS 16 May I received the product in great condition.
So still waiting on 2 products but the one that came is fire!! Hopefully this helps!

Hey everyone, as a big fan of trackmania myself, I have always wanted to have something like that to play on my phone.
So I made my own version of a competitive racing game on android.
Feel free to check it out and tell me what you think!

You know what the best part is about playing Engineer in Team Fortress 2? You get to watch how angry everyone gets when they get shot by your sentry guns. Me and my best friend Jose both main Engineer, and can confirm that the best way to spend your Friday nights after school is to set up a sentry and get ready for the rage. There’s been matches where we haven’t even used our actual guns even once, but racked up lots of kills just because of the sentries.
One day Jose called me up with an idea that was either going to be the stupidest thing ever or the smartest thing ever. He wanted to fill an entire team with only Engineers and watch the chaos unfold. I couldn’t stop laughing at the mental image in my head and agreed with the plan. I joined a Discord server with everyone else on the team.
I convinced my cousin Matthew to join, and he in turn brought along his little brother Zack. According to Matthew, it took quite a bit of convincing because Zack was a Scout main who couldn’t stand Engineers. He eventually got through to his little brother by promising him a Steam gift card. I even got their dad Graham to play along (yes, I have an uncle who plays TF2. How cool is that?). Jose enlisted his friends, who turned into friends of friends and soon enough we had a team of 16 Engineers.
To say that we caused chaos that night was an absolute understatement. As soon as we joined the game the text chat was flooded with messages from the other team wondering what the hell was going on. And they only got worse from that point on. We surrounded our control points with a ring of sentries that people just kept running into. I saw keyboard smashes and heard other teen boys’ voices crack in rage and many, many words that I personally don’t care to repeat here.
The most skilled Engineer was this guy named Craig, who was a friend of one of Jose’s friends. Not only was he the main person capturing the enemy control points with some very strategically placed teleporters, but he was also really friendly and encouraging to all of us. I didn’t know what he looked like, but from his voice it sounded like he was in his early 20s.
Me and Craig started to chat more and more on Discord. He was a super nice guy who was also really fun to talk with. He took time out of his day to teach me how to be an even better Engineer player. Whenever someone started dissing me in the voice chat, he firmly told them to leave me alone. After seeing my fair share of toxicity in the TF2 community, it was nice to know that this complete stranger was looking out for me.
This whole Team Engineer thing became a weekly tradition for us on Friday nights. It was something everyone could look forward to after work or school. One time after everyone logged off and said their goodbyes, Craig sent a message a few hours later in our Discord:
“You guys gotta check this out. I found the weirdest server ever. It’s literally Engineer heaven. Meet me at vl_sentry.”
I was still in the mood to play and I could stay up late tonight, so I hopped back on TF2. I saw that Jose, Graham and this other girl we played with named Lynn were also online. I found vl_sentry and connected to the server. The map was called Valley of the Sentries and it was created by Valve.
It took my computer a little bit to process the map, and it took me even longer than that to process what I was seeing.
The map looked like a chessboard with 3D-sculpted hills. The sky was just pure white. Not even white walls, just the color white. Every square had a blue sentry on it and there were about 4 or 5 other Engineers jumping around, spamming their voice lines. That’s when I realized that we were the only ones there, and there was no red team.
“Hey Sean, glad you could make it :)” Craig said in the text chat. “What the hell is this?” I asked. He told me that this was a server that one of his friends showed him. The friend said he was introduced to the map by a friend of his who knew someone who worked at Valve. Craig then went on to explain that apparently Valley of the Sentries was an experiment to test the limits of the sentry guns and their effect on the servers. Rumor has it that the map is infinite.
“Check this out.” said Jose. He switched to Heavy and immediately got shot down. All of the sentries turned towards him. There were so many of them that it made the game lag a ton. He respawned as Engineer and the sentries just kept on spinning.
“WTF?” I typed. “We tried it with all the other classes and it does the same thing.” said Craig. “It ignores Engineers, but shoots everyone else.” Lynn added. “And that’s why we’re the best class. Engineer power!” Graham joked.
I asked what would happen if you were to play as Spy and sap one of the sentries. “I tried, but you gotta have a godly reaction time to activate it.” said Jose. As soon as he said “godly reaction time”, I knew I had to try it out just for the bragging rights.
Respawn. Shot down. Respawn. Shot down. Respawn. Shot down.
Yeah, I did not have a godly reaction time. The others kept spamming “lol” in the chat each time I failed. I got annoyed pretty quickly and stopped trying. Then out of nowhere, all the sentries turned away from me and started firing at someone. I turned around and all five of us were still standing there. I looked at the top bar that shows how many characters were in the game. There were only five Engineers and they were all on the same team. So what the hell were the sentries targeting?
I started to walk in the direction that the sentries were facing and Jose followed me too. We moved really slow, not only because of the sentries on every square but also the uphill climbs. It was just us two in the chat for a while, talking about seeing each other back at school on Monday while we made our slow walk across the map. Then our conversation was interrupted by a chat message from Lynn.
“Why is there a man in the sky?”
Me and Jose tried to get to Lynn to see what she was talking about as fast as possible, but we moved like snails. To get back to the spawn point, we both switched classes, instantly died and respawned as Engineers. I don’t think we respawned in the same place we started from. I don’t even know where we respawned. There were no landmarks or notable things to help you find your way. Just hills, valleys, and sentries.
I asked Lynn where she was and she just told me she was with Graham and Craig. Only that wasn’t very helpful because we didn’t know where they were either. We stood there, stumped for a minute and a half until Jose got an idea. He said that she should just switch classes and respawn, because then all of the sentries would point toward her and we could follow them all the way back to her. She made the switch, got shot down, and we instantly knew where to find her.
We finally got close enough to kind of make out the vague shape of a few Engineers over the non-existent horizon. Me and Jose were relieved, until all the sentries pointed to our right. I swiveled around and saw them open fire on…nothing. I checked with Jose to see if he caught something I didn’t, but he also didn’t see what they were shooting at. I decided that it wasn’t that important and continued to walk towards the rest of the group.
We met up with Lynn, Craig and Graham, disappointed that we made that trek all for nothing. Even though we were all together now, it just felt so lonely. The only sound coming from my computer was the constant beeping of the sentries in perfect sync. I don’t know why, but it made me so uneasy. I attempted to break the silence by going to the voice lines and playing the iconic Engineer “Nope” soundbite. It echoed across the checkered land with no response.
It was about 12:30 AM at this point and I was starting to feel more and more unsettled with each passing minute. There was just something about this black and white world that I felt creeped out by. Before Craig invited us to come over, there was no one else on the server. Who would even want to play on this map, anyways? It’s so unfairly balanced that only one class can survive. Movement speed was super slow, and you can’t even really do anything except watch the sentries turn and turn and turn forever. It was like hypnosis, except I didn’t feel sleepy or relaxed at all.
Speaking of being sleepy, Jose said he was getting tired and was going to be logging off. We all said goodbye to him and continued chatting amongst ourselves. It sounds stupid, but my stomach dropped when I saw the fifth Engineer portrait disappear. One less person to talk to. One less person to keep myself from wondering what else was out here. I could have sworn that after he left, the beeping got louder.
“So is this map actually infinite?” asked Graham. “Only one way to find out.” Craig said. “Just keep on walking and see if it goes on forever.” “Why don’t you just fire a shotgun and see how far it goes?” Lynn suggested.
I took out the shotgun and fired. The bullet flew off into the white distance and disappeared.
Then I heard the distinct sound of someone getting shot.
A message appeared in the chat, from someone named sentry_check_pattern.
“sentry_check_pattern: stop that”
Once again I looked at the top bar. It just showed four blue Engineers. That meant we were the only ones on the server. Or so we thought.
The chat was flooded with our confusion, almost as if everyone realized at the same time that something wasn’t right. None of us moved an inch.
“What even is this place?” I asked, hoping that the mysterious user would provide me with an answer. “Must be Engineer heaven.” said Graham.
“sentry_check_pattern: more like my personal hell”
This was the moment that made me trust my intuition. I knew there was a reason why I found this map so creepy. I wanted to leave the server, but there was just one thing keeping me back- my own curiosity. My wish to unveil the mysteries of the Valley of the Sentries.
“Okay this is really freaking me out. See ya guys.” said Lynn before she left the server. The fourth Engineer’s portrait disappeared from the top bar.
No no no, please. Please don’t go. Don’t leave us. I wouldn’t want to be alone here. Now there’s just three of us, and I really hope that number doesn’t go down anymore. When the others were here, this was just a weird TF2 map that we were exploring together as friends. And now it feels like we’re trapped in this infinite world, but we aren’t alone. The only problem is we don’t know what else is here.
I shuddered, imagining Craig and Graham ditching me and leaving me all alone in the Valley of the Sentries. Just me and whoever- no, whatever was talking to us.
“sentry_check_pattern: you don’t know how good you have it
you can leave at any time
i can’t”
This terrified me. What a horrible thought, never being able to leave this place. But of course, no one could really be trapped here. It’s a Team Fortress 2 server. You can just exit the game and shut your computer. No one could be trapped in a video game.
But if you think about it, aren’t the characters themselves trapped? They can’t leave the game. They’re characters. They don’t even know they’re in a game. You or the computer controls all their actions. They don’t have free will. And if you’re bad at the game, they’ll just keep dying over and over again.
Wait, why was I thinking about this?
I carefully considered what I wanted to say next in the chat. Whatever I said could either answer all my burning questions or leave me asking more. But sentry_check_pattern talked first.
“sentry_check_pattern: i was made for one purpose
to die over and over again”
Oh my god. It was like this person read my mind and knew exactly what I was thinking about. Who or what was I talking to? I turned all the way around to make sure that no one else was there. It was just the two blue Engineers standing behind me. Just Graham and Craig. And that man with the checkered skin.
Startled, I asked my friends if they saw what I saw. It took them a second, but both of them confirmed that yes, there was indeed something else there. A basic male model with the same chessboard texture as the map. Graham immediately started to shoot at him. Nothing. It just went straight through him.
“sentry_check_pattern: you can’t kill what’s already been killed millions of times over
valve made that mistake too
every company has that one failed project they don’t talk about
and that’s me”
Whoever was behind this weird account was talking crazy. The Team Fortress 2 developers were very open about everything like fixing their glitches and bugs. They always posted things on the official blog about the development process. They’re so open about their failures and always promise to fix them.
“Stop with the weird stuff. We just wanted to know what the deal is with this server and the weird chess guy. Do you know anything about it?” Graham asked in the text chat.
“sentry_check_pattern: know anything?
you’re not very bright, graham
none of you are
do you not realize where you are and what you’re talking to”
Something about the way sentry_check_pattern used Graham’s name gave me goosebumps. I didn’t know what I was talking to. I didn’t even think I wanted to know at this point.
“sentry_check_pattern: this is one of valve’s test servers
i’m the texture they use to check if the sentries work
read between the lines”
“Quiet, NPC.” Craig said. I laughed a little bit to fight off the awkward tension. Then I reminded myself that I was talking to a video game character, no- not even a character. A blank character model. A texture.
“sentry_check_pattern: just because i’m a character model doesn’t mean i can’t feel pain
open fire”
The sentries all swiveled around to face the man and shot at him. He kept falling to the ground, turning white and standing back up in the same position.
“sentry_check_pattern: cease fire”
All of the sentries stopped shooting and just went back to spinning around, their beeps echoing in the air.
“sentry_check_pattern: ready to see what i’ve been through for over a decade?
open fire”
Before any of us could react, the sentries opened fire on Craig all at once. He kept dying, but he didn’t explode the way you’re supposed to when you die in TF2. He just dropped to the floor, turned white, and respawned over and over again. There was no death scream. I tried to type something else in the chat but the game lagged so much that my typing just ended up as a string of random letters that meant nothing. Craig tried to type something out too. It just ended up as “wwwwwwwwwwthisishowitfeelswwwwwwwww” Then the game crashed and my computer shut down.
I hyperventilated. Then I laughed at myself for hyperventilating over a stupid computer game. It was Team Fortress 2 for god’s sake. That game with all the memes and goofy jokes. Stupid, stupid Sean. Scared of a character model. Jose would never let me live it down. I just laughed and laughed to push the fear away.
I closed my laptop and took out my phone to rewatch all of my favorite TF2 animations for the millionth time. As if they weren’t already the funniest things in the world, I forced myself to laugh even harder than usual. Every time I saw the Engineer, I couldn’t help but look at the reflection in his goggles. The reflection of an endless map of black and white squares.
Thankfully, nothing bad happened to my game, account or laptop. The next day I just went right back to playing and enjoying the rage coming from all the people who ran right into my sentries.
Team Engineer was still a thing, but it was never really the same. We played together a lot less frequently. It was still a lot of fun, but I felt a change that I couldn’t really describe.
We found out that Craig had lost all progress on his TF2 account. Everyone gifted him all his favorite cosmetics and we all pooled our money together to get him a Steam gift card. He video called us, crying at our kindness. It was the first time I ever even saw his face. He was a lot older than most of us. If I had to guess an age, I’d say somewhere around 30. He had black bangs and was wearing a TF2 shirt. His room was dark, only lit by his glowing computer screen. He thanked us repeatedly and even tried to return the gift card, but we were all adamant that he should keep it.
Speaking of Craig, we still kept in touch but he didn’t talk to me as much anymore. Any time I tried to ask him about vl_sentry, he ignored me for a few days.
The other day, I got some postcards from my cousin Matthew. He was very academic and happened to be studying at a private high school about 9 hours away from where I live. All of his postcards were pictures of him making funny faces with all his friends at favorite school activities like robotics, debate team, and chess club.
I looked at the chess club photo closely. Matthew and his friends were standing in front of a chessboard with a mirror on the wall. And for a split second, I could have sworn that the chessboard looked different in the mirror. It looked warped, like it wasn’t a flat board anymore. Like it almost had hills and valleys. No, it couldn’t be. I rubbed my eyes. There, in the mirror was a checkered man. I knew it was there. I swear on my mother’s life that there was another person in that photo. And then it was gone. Maybe the picture was just printed badly. But I had to make sure my eyes were right.
So I brought the postcard to school with me and I showed Jose. I asked him if he saw the checkered man in the mirror. He said no. But that wasn’t the answer I wanted to hear. That was the answer I hoped I wouldn’t hear. I asked him again. He said no again. Then I asked him another time. He said I was being annoying. So I asked another one of my friends. He said no too. So I moved on to yet another friend. He told me to stop.
I angrily clutched the postcard in my hand, crumpling it. I was the only one that saw what was really there. Everyone else was lying to me. They refused to see the truth.
I screamed and ripped up the postcard. I stomped on its pieces. I rubbed them in the dirt for good measure.
Somewhere in the distance, I heard the sound of electronics beeping.
It rang in my ears.
It was weirdly comforting to me.
You can leave the Valley of the Sentries. But the valley will never leave you.

Thank you :)

I really hope someone out there can help.
I have a Pico Neo 3 Link. I want to connect to my PC using the supplied DPUSB cable.
It simply will not work, I have so far spent 21 solid hours troubleshooting, yes I have been counting! No amount of Googling, Youtubing, Pico Support chat can solve this so its down to you guys.
The closest I can get to this goal after all this time is this.
Pico Link loads (yes I know! ill get to why I use that further in this post), it cannot "see" SteamVR. But hey, I press Start DP Connection, Pico Link waits, I put on headset, I plug in DP cable to headset, I select start DP connection inside headset, Pico link ticks all its boxes and goes ahead and loads steamvr. White Pico Circle and then blackness. I take headset off, and press "Display VR View" in Steam, and there, in that tiny little window is what I should be seeing. SteamVR Home environment tracking to its hearts desire, it can see my controllers and everything.
I put headset back on and still nothing, just blackness.
I have read about the issues people have with the openvrpaths file. Mine reads thus:
{
"config" :
[
"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\config",
"c:\\program files (x86)\\steam\\config"
],
"external_drivers" : null,
"jsonid" : "vrpathreg",
"log" :
[
"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\logs",
"c:\\program files (x86)\\steam\\logs"
],
"runtime" :
[
"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\SteamVR"
],
"version" : 1
}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have tried manually editing the above to this:
{
"config" :
[
"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\config",
],
"external_drivers" :
[
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\PicoLink\driver"
],
"jsonid" : "vrpathreg",
"log" :
[
"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\logs",
],
"runtime" :
[
"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\SteamVR"
],
"version" : 1
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But then when I try to run everything again, I get the same experience described above. When I go to then check the VR paths file.... something changes it back to the first version, with "null" as the drivers! Everybody one the entire internet is under the impression you can just edit this file, not me, it changes itself!
Now before you all inevitably ask about driver versions, Pico Connect and so on; EVERYTHING IS THE LATEST VERSION, Steam, SteamVR, Pico Headset, I have tried using Pico Connect and with that software I get even less of a result so I have written that off. With Connect it throws 108 errors in SteamVR, it cant recognise the headset or controllers and sits "Waiting for Connection" so I've binned Connect as an option, its like HP printer software - garbage.
Please help me before I just return all of this apparent waste of money and just forget the whole thing. Ill give it 10 years and try again, clearly all this stuff is half developed, we aren't there yet are we. THIS SHOULD NOT BE THIS DIFFICULT.
Anywho, I look forward to the next phase of troubleshooting with you all. At this point I feel like a part time failed R and D employee, I come home from work, work on this Pico PCVR issue, fail and try again the next day. Enough is enough.
Thank you all in advance for your time,
Kind regards,
Chris

GPT-4o can seamlessly handle text, speech, and visual inputs, making it more versatile than previous models. It offers real-time, human-like responses with the lowest delay being 232ms, simultaneously processing text and audio inputs.
Additionally, GPT-4o is designed to work more efficiently in multiple languages, making it a powerful tool for global users. This upgrade means users get a faster, more integrated experience!
Here’s a little taste of just how fast it is at doing 3 moderately difficult tasks at once:

Although the GIF is sped up 150%, it took GPT-4o only about 13 or so seconds to generate a 4K image of a snowman dancing, a python calculator script, and a Pushkin-like poem in 2 languages — isn’t that insane?

Here’s the gist of the latest features & upgrades GPT-4o presents

1. Multimodal Capability - it can handle text, speech, and visual inputs, allowing for natural & seamless interactions.
2. Real-time Processing - responds as quickly as 232 milliseconds for speech & text output, which is much faster than its predecessor, GPT-4 Turbo.
3. Cost Efficiency - 50% cheaper in API costs compared to GPT-4 Turbo.
4. Global Usability - not only is it 100% free for everyone, but GPT-4o has enhanced language support for over 20 languages!
5. Paid Features Now Free - The GPT Plugin Store is now available to everyone with a ChatGPT account, no need for the Plus subscription anymore (we’ll complain about this later in the post)
6. Mac Desktop App - GPT-4o launched with a Mac Desktop app, with which you can capture meetings, share your screen for an integrated experience & more.

Let’s break down some of the improvements in a little more depth.

I really hope someone out there can help.

When I go to then check the VR paths file.... something changes it back to the first version, with "null" as the drivers! Everybody one the entire internet is under the impression you can just edit this file, not me, it changes itself!
Now before you all inevitably ask about driver versions, Pico Connect and so on; EVERYTHING IS THE LATEST VERSION, Steam, SteamVR, Pico Headset, I have tried using Pico Connect and with that software I get even less of a result so I have written that off. With Connect it throws 108 errors in SteamVR, it cant recognise the headset or controllers and sits "Waiting for Connection" so I've binned Connect as an option, its like HP printer software - garbage.
Please help me before I just return all of this apparent waste of money and just forget the whole thing. Ill give it 10 years and try again, clearly all this stuff is half developed, we aren't there yet are we. THIS SHOULD NOT BE THIS DIFFICULT.
Anywho, I look forward to the next phase of troubleshooting with you all. At this point I feel like a part time failed R and D employee, I come home from work, work on this Pico PCVR issue, fail and try again the next day. Enough is enough.
Thank you all in advance for your time,
Kind regards,
Chris

The guide below shows some examples of how ChatGPT’s generative AI capabilities can be utilized for code testing and may make life of developers easier as well as support automated testing. It also discusses some of the ways to use ChatGPT for automating and speeding up the test lifecycle: ChatGPT for Automated Testing: Examples and Best Practices - Codium.AI

GPT-4o can seamlessly handle text, speech, and visual inputs, making it more versatile than previous models. It offers real-time, human-like responses with the lowest delay being 232ms, simultaneously processing text and audio inputs.
Additionally, GPT-4o is designed to work more efficiently in multiple languages, making it a powerful tool for global users. This upgrade means users get a faster, more integrated experience!
Here’s a little taste of just how fast it is at doing 3 moderately difficult tasks at once:

Although the GIF is sped up 150%, it took GPT-4o only about 13 or so seconds to generate a 4K image of a snowman dancing, a python calculator script, and a Pushkin-like poem in 2 languages — isn’t that insane?

Here’s the gist of the latest features & upgrades GPT-4o presents

1. Multimodal Capability - it can handle text, speech, and visual inputs, allowing for natural & seamless interactions.
2. Real-time Processing - responds as quickly as 232 milliseconds for speech & text output, which is much faster than its predecessor, GPT-4 Turbo.
3. Cost Efficiency - 50% cheaper in API costs compared to GPT-4 Turbo.
4. Global Usability - not only is it 100% free for everyone, but GPT-4o has enhanced language support for over 20 languages!
5. Paid Features Now Free - The GPT Plugin Store is now available to everyone with a ChatGPT account, no need for the Plus subscription anymore (we’ll complain about this later in the post)
6. Mac Desktop App - GPT-4o launched with a Mac Desktop app, with which you can capture meetings, share your screen for an integrated experience & more.

Let’s break down some of the improvements in a little more depth.

To go by social media froth, the rise of AI technology like Large Language Models is soon going to utterly Change Games Forever, leading to waves of roiling layoffs of game industry employees. Why pay game writers, one common argument goes, when we can just get ChatGPT to churn out reams of NPC game dialog?
Speaking with several actual writers of hit acclaimed games, however, I got a much more thoughtful perspective, bereft of doomsaying.
Leigh Alexander for instance likens the “AI for game writing is lazy” charge to a photographer saying, “‘Photoshop is only for lazy photographers’: "It misunderstands the purpose and breadth of the tool, and it actually makes you sound like you don't understand photography (which seems bad for your prospects if you are working as a photographer).”
Charlene Putney, who worked on Baldur's Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin 2:
“To my mind, this is another tool. I don’t see it replacing writers in the long run, I see it as a brand new spark of potential that we can use. And that beautiful little spark of potential in it that delights me is the same little spark that delighted me in the independent game development scene a decade ago: dream it up, make it, share it -- now using the tenets of consensus reality as LEGO bricks. Not trying to recreate the media of the past: not novels, not movies, not songs. But some strange new creatures, new forms that are no more than shadows right now, coalescing into shape just out of the corners of our eyes.”
Also features a mini-essay on LLMs by Sheldon Pacotti, lead writer of Deus Ex, which Elon Musk and other Valley folks are big fans of!

One of the primary things I use AI for is drafting emails that I later edit to make them "in line" with my writing style.
In the recent update, Google seemed to have completely messed up this use case by having Gemini try to connect with a workspace account rather writing an email draft in the "chat conversation". This is INFURIATING!

Has anyone else experienced this?
The croseed out black parts is more "informational context" for the AI.

I was interested in buying the game on the Xbox PC store but it seems like the DLC isn't even available for purchase there. Does anybody know what's up with that?
I can only find the CONSOLE version of the DLC, which means it doesn't work on PC.
PC version (notice how there are no DLCs listed): https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/crosscode/9nfdpq0kz6rn
Console version (all DLCs and Deluxe Edition listed): https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/crosscode/9N04RQQ64524

Sitting in the parking lot of a random store sobbing because I've finally hit my breaking point after talking to Express Scripts again.
I've been stalled on 5mg for three months, finally got approval for 7.5mg two months ago just in time for nothing to be available. This week I got approval to go back down to 2.5mg because Express Scripts told me it was in stock and if I got everything in that day I could have it by tomorrow. I did it. I jumped through those hoops and my nurse practitioner sent everything in. Got a notification today that it's out of stock.
Called and chatted with a lovely rep who understands the frustration, but there's not medicine to give anymore. For any dose that I'm waiting on.
I hung up with her and the dam broke. I'm sobbing all over my phone because I had to pull over. The weight loss on this is great, but it's more about the way I am feeling now that I don't want to go away.
I've stopped meds because I don't need them anymore. I feel like a new person. I can't go back to feeling crappy again, but that's where I think I'm headed.
I cannot afford to do the compounding option or I'd be there in a millisecond. I'm not looking for answers, just really needed to vent to people who understand.

Just finished some full scores, and they blew me away as I was creating them. Better than the ones I found on the staff playlist.
So, how did I do this? First I found out that the structure plays a key roll. The structure I found that worked best is Genre, Sub-genre, Theme, and Mood. For a full genre list, I went to https://www.chosic.com/list-of-music-genres/ Find your main genre, then your sub-genre. Not sure what the sub-genre sounds like? Thats cool, they have a preview. Then I copied an entire genre into a document.
For theme, I did a search for the type of song I wanted. You want about 4 of these. Once found I went to https://sonoteller.ai/ and put in the title and artist. I got a bunch of info that I copied over to my document. Including the lyric breakdown. Revise the breakdown for what you want to do.
Then I went to Claud.ai (or ChatGPT.ai). Put in your revised lyric breakdowns and ask for lyrics. Then ask for a breakdown of each verse with a genre and sub-genre that would match the verse. Then as it to do the same for theme and mood. I found some one posted this Google Sheet with a bunch of moods. It's not all of them but it's pretty good.
Now, once you have all of that, copy it to your document by verse. It should look something like this:
[Chorus - Julie, female vocalist] Genre: indie, folk Sub-genre: chamber folk, indie folk Theme: Redemption, Healing, Unconditional Love Mood: uplifting, spiritual, ethereal Instruments: harmonies, guitar family, strings
[Verse - Paul, male vocalist] Genre: pop rock, indie rock Sub-genre: Anthem rock, indie Anthem-Folk Theme: Triumph, Overcoming Adversity, Inner Strength Mood: Heroic, inspirational, Determined Instruments: electric guitar, percussion drums, bass
You may have noticed some of the stuff is caps and some is not. The non-capped words are what is in Udio and recognized. The capped are not recognized. For some reason I got better results when I did it this way.
Enter your prompt like this for the chorus example above: indie, folk, chamber folk, indie folk, Redemption, Healing, Unconditional Love, uplifting, spiritual, ethereal, harmonies, guitar family, strings
Then when you extend, put in the verse.
Once you have all your parts, you can ask your A.I. for what genre, sub-genre, theme, and mood would make sense for your intro and outro. Then plug that in and do your intro and outro.
Hope that helps in creating some great sounding music.
Here is one of the songs I did. https://www.udio.com/songs/sJq3aBPuLUUyUgRFZ719JQ Highly suggest you listen on decent speakers to hear the nuances in the song.

I understand that Tello has recently doubled all the data quota in all it's plans but set a hard limit to cut it off once you exhaust the data.
Few months back, I had gone out alone to my doctor's appointment. While returning home from the clinic, I took a stop at a local grocery store to buy some groceries. When I was done and putting the home location on Google maps, I noticed I cannot connect to the Internet anymore and realized that my data got exhausted. I got stuck there for like good 1 hour. The grocery store or any nearby store didn't have any WiFi. I had to literally beg from strangers to share their mobile data temporarily for me to recharge my data plan. One of them did and I was able to get home. However, this was a frustrating experience. Yes, I could have called someone to recharge the plan but that would have meant I would have to share my account credentials to them, which I wanted to avoid.
My feedback to Tello: once the data (or any monthly plan) is exhausted, please continue to allow normal and unlimited internet connection to only Tello website and Tello app from the phone with normal internet speed, so that if we users want to recharge it with additional data (or a new plan) they can do so easily from any where.
Edit: I later got to know you could recharge by SMS too. But I didn't find it out until later when I got home. There was no way to get that info without mobile data while I was in the grocery store.

It would be cool if we could mothball ships. Pay a cost to put the ships into storage, where they will have little-to-no upkeep. Then when you’re ready for them again, you pay another cost to get them ready for use, this should be a lot faster and cheaper than making a new fleet but also definitely not free and instant. You could also get an espionage alert when another empire (un)mothballs their fleets, telling you if now is a good time to strike or if they’re getting ready to strike you.
Edit: also, if you can find out where your enemy stores their mothballed ships, you should be able to attack or sabotage it to cripple the ships before they can be put back into service

Here's the class:

using Godot; [Tool] [GlobalClass] public class EntityDefinition : Resource { [ExportGroup("Visuals")] [Export] public AtlasTexture texture; [Export] public Color color = Colors.White; } 

I've rebooted everything, no luck. Never shows up in custom resources.
On a related note: What is really the purpose of a definition class? The tutorial basically just uses it to export fields into the Godot GUI, and then copy their info into some other object. But that seems like a really dumb way to edit or compare a bunch of data when a table does pretty much everything better. Am I better off storing this in a JSON and deserializing, or am I missing the point of a Resource class?
