    Dying Light Video Game

    Just bitching here that 14 hours of game progress was lost after the saved campaign suddenly no longer showed as an option under Play. Is this worth starting over. I don't know. Graphics are sharp and detailed but the game play is slow and killing Zombies is not that fun. Too much time is spent wacking them rather than blasting them. I've been playing just to accumulate material to make a gun.

    Just Noting My Thoughts on A.I. as They Surface

    Since human behavior may not be competely random can AI overcome all man made electronic locks
    Can AI be a reflection of what truly is rather than simiulate with the bias of developer input
    Predict Black Swans with self fulfilling prophecy
    Loss of humanity and interest in the mystery of soul
    Remove consideration for the divine
    Change our assumption of life, could our carbon based existence be an anomaly in the universe
    AI supercedes tangible human capabilities and replaces notion of God. Much like government. and man made laws.
    From recommendation system to trusted forecaster
    Counter intuitiveness more treasured than common sense
    Work on human intelligence before machine intelligence
    Using computers to make sense of our black box minds. Build into machines the apparent randomness feeding human cognition
    Build into machines human consciousness feeding back into itself through dreams
    A.I. computing could certainly shorten the time horizons of Black Swans
    Do we build in software lifespan parameters, which should be under consideration if we are to play God, i.e., create intelligence
    But then this could force the singularity if the human bias of death and time is reinforced in the software, i.e., book of Genesis

    Hide Root Status of Asus Zenfone 2

    I need to do this because the latest V380 camera app will not open if the device is rooted

    On the device, enable Developer Options and under Developer Options set Root access to [Apps and ADB]. Then slide Android debugging on.

    Using the PC, download the recovery image from https://dl.twrp.me/Z00L/twrp-3.0.2-4-Z00L.img#google_vignette.

    Plug the device is into the PC with the transfer file option and copy the TWRP image to the SDcard on the device.

    Using the PC, download the last nightly build of the LineageOS from https://lineageosroms.com/Z00L/.

    Unzip the downloaded LineageOS archive and copy boot.img to the SDcard on the device.

    Using the PC, download Magisk from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases.

    Copy the Magisk apk to the device and tap it to install.

    Follow instructions at https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#magisk-in-recovery.

    Need either boot.img or the TWRP img file to get Magisk installed with Zygisk.

    Hide root using Magisk's DenyList feature. See https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/trick-apps-android-rooted/.

    Now to install https://apkpure.com/v380-pro/com.macrovideo.v380pro.

    V380 still not opening because of root.

    Realized the Magisk solution only works if the device was rooted with Magisk.

    Found a version of the V380 camera app that does not check for root. See https://v380.en.uptodown.com/android/post-download/1245979.

    Maybe now I have the set up necessary to fabricate a rear view camera for my 2011 Victory Cross Country Motorcycle. The first one in the line up.
