Our luck was that personal computers existed before phones. The fact computing is open is a miracle.

Microsoft would love to only sell computers with locked bootloaders, enforced DRM, locked down stores. Imagine having to jailbreak your desktop.

They don’t have to. It’s backwards compatible. You can ignore it and we can keep on happily using it.

Fuck Google, fuck WebP.

Google tried to sabotage it in favour of its own WebP standard.

Nobody gives a shit about WebP.

Samsung and Anthropic published independently created data showing how little bad data it takes to effectively poison very large models. LLMs pretend to be complex, but they aren’t, they’ll not continue to improve at the initial rate we got used to seeing. Just ask OpenAI.

Give me enough time off and I can make my own CPU cooler. There’s no way a shortage is happening, this is non-news trying to grab clicks.

Entire books written about it.

There are so many books written about the Middle Earth… I guess elves are real!

This is a paid promotion. Its one of the ones you pay an extra $1000 and they hide the sponsored tag.

There’s zero scientific evidence for that, to the contrary in fact, regular masturbation is important for long term prostate health.

Microsoft One Copilot would bean incredibly Microsoft thing to call Windows

I’d be unemployed and in trouble, but sometimes I do wish a gigantic solar storm would cut off the internet for a year. Humanity needs the reset. Please stop shoving Wi-Fi into every device.

Step Three: Forget that Edge exists

Open a PDF on Windows 11 - Edge is the default app.

Use the search bar for search, click on a result, even though it’s not your default browser Edge opens the result.

And there are many other examples. Setting a default on Windows 11 is now extremely obnoxious and requires that you set many file types manually.

OP didn’t, it’s an extract from the article.

Given how much Intel struggled even though they had been working with GPUs for decades, I’m actually impressed with how fast and competent China’s attempts have been so far. Though I have to say, from the article:

The leaked specifications further muddied the waters, showing the device operating with only 32 Compute Units, a bafflingly low 300 MHz clock speed, and a virtually unusable 256 MB of video memory. We’ll likely see more benchmarks as the GPU makes its way to the hands of customers.

If none of the specs match what they’re supposed to be, and are weirdly out of date, are they sure this is the same GPU? It could very well be an early prototype being tested for stability. There are some engineering sample CPUs that run at 1/100th the intended speed of the final product, for instance.

Your comment mentions NVIDIA. I’d like to invest $500000 into your comment. I only request that you immediately also invest the same exact quantity into my comment.

Not sure if that’s the case elsewhere, but here truthful statements that aren’t exclusive to your brand also must have a warning. For instance, if I want to add “rich in calcium!” to my yogurt’s packaging, I must also add right next to it “like all other yogurt”

I’ll never game or do my general computing as a subscription to a server.

If it comes a day when I can’t buy a GPU and run a game myself, I’m not going to game anymore. Simple as that.

didn’t hear of Librewolf, Floorp or Waterfox apparently

So projects that depend entirely on Firefox, and therefore the idea of boycotting Firefox and making it economically not viable means also killing these forks… Hmm… I feel like there might be a logical flaw somewhere here…

But Lemmy told me Firefox was over and AI would be forced upon every single text field, and that we should migrate to Chrome forks maintained by 15 year old children!
