  • EU law mandating universal chargers for devices comes into force

    Jump

  • And they're using recommendations from the USB consortium, which is comprised of all the large manufacturers in the world, so it should always be up to date during the review process.

  • SemiKong is the world's first open-source semiconductor-focused LLM

    Jump

  • Totally but if we're talking about simple custom chips, my point still stands as there is nothing to compare a custom chip to and the simplicity doesn't seem to necessitate a LLM to map out.

  • SemiKong is the world's first open-source semiconductor-focused LLM

    Jump

  • SemiKong advertises a 20-30% reduction in time to market for new chip designs and a 20% improvement in first-time-right manufacturing scores.

    Oh yeah? How is that accomplished when it can take a decade of development to get a new CPU out the door? Was this developed a decade ago?

  • Bench shuts down, leaving thousands of businesses without access to accounting and tax docs | TechCrunch

  • Especially days before the year is over, which is probably the worst time for it to happen.

  • Similar projects to Dizquetv

  • I use Ersatz like others mentioned and it works fine, though I don't fully understand how everything works. Following a guide was enough to get several channels setup, but since I also have an antenna and HDHomerun set up, I had to also use xTeve to combine the real and fake programming guides.

    This works as expected in Emby (which means it probably also works in Jellyfin), but in Plex it breaks the guide as the channels get all mixed up with respect to their programming data meaning I never know what I'm going to be watching when I click on it. If you don't have an antenna set up already, this probably won't be an issue for you.

  • For US folks, is right now a good time to buy a house?

    Jump

  • If you can afford it and plan on staying a while, buying is the way to go. I'm in NW Oregon and waited to buy because I was nervous and thought I "needed 20% down to avoid PMI" and essentially missed out on an extra 1000sqft for the same price by waiting. Putting 10% down, my PMI was $40 a month, which is chump change in the grand scheme of things, and has already been removed due to increased value and payments.

    Even still, buying in 2019 when I did, I'm in so much better shape now than if I'd continued renting. Rent would probably be $500-$1000 more each month, and I wouldn't be gaining equity on top of that.

    Of course nobody has a crystal ball to make it 100% risk-free, but this is still a pretty solid strategy, and you live in an in-demand area in case you ever wanted or needed to sell, so you should be fine. If the interest rates go down substantially, refinancing is also a good idea.

  • Even Apple wasn’t able to make VR headsets mainstream in 2024

    Jump

  • That's like saying 3D TVs are mainstream. We all saw how that turned out.

  • Former NSA cyberspy's not-so-secret hobby – Xmas light hacks

    Jump

  • I didn't watch the whole video but based on the article, it appears this guy is just putting up christmas lights using off the shelf hardware and software? He isn't hacking anything here and this hobby is already pretty common anongst those with the money and electronics experience to build it.

    Tom Betgeorge works in this industry and is pretty renowned for doing massive displays using all this same stuff every year and uploading it to Youtube.

  • 2024 Was the Year the Bottom Fell Out of the Games Industry

    Jump

  • People hate Nintendo for being a shitty company but I really enjoyed Zelda Echoes of Wisdom. Prior to that though I think the last game I actually enjoyed was Horizon Forbidden West from two years ago.

  • How did people treat radio active material before they knew what radio activity was?

    Jump

  • I honestly can't blame them for this because that glass does look pretty sick under a blacklight.

  • How did people treat radio active material before they knew what radio activity was?

    Jump

  • And the company was probably like "well how could we have known?" and probably faced zero consequences in true American fashion.

  • I was just listening to the QAA podcast episode about witch hunts in the middle ages, and those women literally all died because some random neighbor's cow stopped producing good enough milk.

  • What's stopping corporate authoritarians from instantly shutting down all left-wing Internet content? Shouldn't we be preparing for that?

    Jump

  • Sudden wide-spread crackdowns lead to a lot of backlash. Corporations aren't going to do this because there's no legitimate benefit to them for doing it. Additionally, the left-wing gets very little representation in the US at least so why stoke anger and resentment when the right is already controlling everything?

  • The Ugly Truth About Spotify Is Finally Revealed

    Jump

  • IANAL but it seems akin to the antitrust case against Microsoft for bundling their own web browser in with Windows or movie studios also owning theaters and giving preferential treatment to their own films.

  • Brazil shuts BYD factory site over 'slavery' conditions

    Jump

  • Some would argue that this is precisely why they 'outsource' just like mobsters do. It gives plausible deniability.

  • Metaverse hype fizzles out as Korean tech giants pull plug

    Jump

  • I think that's just a coincidence because it was also just after buying Oculus and developing the Quest 2 which sold like hotcakes. I think things fizzled out because everyone I know, myself included, got tired of VR after a couple weeks because the software just isn't there and it can be quite isolating to use.

  • The quest to save the world’s largest CRT TV from destruction

    Jump

  • My friends parents had a 32" CRT in their living room on a massive stand and us kids had to lay right in front of it when watching TV which was always a little terrifying because it would have crushed us to death had it ever fallen.
