  • Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo'

  • Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops

    Jump

  • Noice. Would also be wonderful if they stopped pouring a shit ton of that nasty black underfill under the bga chips and used some regular red/clear compound around the corners instead like literally everyone else.

  • Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo'

    Jump

  • Yeah, like being forced to replace the topcase when the battery dies or having to repair the angle sensor 'cause it's paired to the motherboard. But fuck sustainability and heil consumerism, I guess.

    Not to say that I'm not an apple hater -- because I certainly am -- it's just that there are quite a few reasons to be one.

  • LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy

    Jump

  • Regarding the last point: it's more of a bias, tho, so reducing it may even be a good thing. E.g. asking Kent Overstreet's opinion on your bcachefs setup is probably useful, while getting relationship advice from him is ill-advised.

  • Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo'

  • As always with crapple, the specs are solid... For smth that costs half as much as what they ask.

  • Warning: Facebook Ads for Free Windows 11 Upgrade Will Infect PCs With Malware

    Jump

  • Ha-ha, classic

  • iPhone and iPad approved to handle classified NATO information

    Jump

  • They also then started working on age verification on the device level. And, as the saying goes, those who give up privacy to get extra security, get neither.

  • It's me again. My Kubernetes devolver has reached the astral plane.

    Jump

  • Next step: convert docker to nspawn/portable sysd services

  • Researchers have found the cause of hallucinations in LLMs, H-Neurons: On the Existence, Impact, and Origin of Hallucination-Associated Neurons in LLMs

    Jump

  • So, their approach can be used to flag likely hallucinated output and warn the user?

  • An Open Letter to Google regarding Mandatory Developer Registration for Android App Distribution

    Jump

  • Also kupfer (pmos but arch), ubports (ex Ubuntu touch) and droidian (similar to ubports with being halium-based but Debian and conventional DEs, hence, it's supposed to actually run software). Mobile-nixos, to some extent, although it's more of a PoC, in my experience

  • Privacy researcher debunks Microsoft Edge’s free VPN marketing, says it's "NOT a VPN"

    Jump

  • Yeah, sure, semantics: when laydudes think about "vpns", they expect exactly a set of features provided by a proxy, so it's pretty much a marketing term nowadays. Nobody really cares whether the packets between their PC and the endpoint are wrapped in wireguard or socks5, unless some protocol happens to be blocked.

  • I am a 15-year-old girl. Let me show you the vile misogyny that confronts me on social media every day

    Jump

  • Forbid this, forbid that... How about actual fucking parenting instead? As a "zoomer" who used to use antisocial media back when I was 15 but didn't end up encountering all this objectification crap 'til much later on in life despite being having better computer skills than my parents, let me testify that having hobbies helps. And most of my hobbies developed with considerable help from my parents whom I was able to ask for help/advice.

  • Storyden: A forum for the modern age.

    Jump

  • Also on cromite. Both disable webgl by default, iirc.

    Not like a forum has a reasonable use case that requires webgl, tho.

  • Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI

    Jump

  • Well, IMO, "public access" includes semi-restricted stuff, like the requirement for an account. E.g. rutracker is closer to public than to private, compared to REDacted. As for downloading, there's not much technical difference between it and streaming, I.e. nothing really prevents you from playing into a virtual soundcard or even reverse-engineering the protocol and saving data directly (moreover, there are such projects on github)

  • Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI

    Jump

  • More like scraped. You can't really leak smth that's already publicly accessible

  • Give your Matrix account a Discord UI with Commet

    Jump

  • Thanks, that actually looks like a nice android alternative to cinny

  • AI could rebalance power between people and the services they use

    Jump

  • Sooo, how about we research actually improving accessibility of said "paying energy bills and booking healthcare appointments" instead?

  • Manipulating AI memory for profit: The rise of AI Recommendation Poisoning

    Jump

  • Yeah, a very unpopular opinion here, but how about you actually read stuff? I mean, yeah, there's the whole seo prioritizing ai slop walls of text, but there's also a close tab button (I personally can't remember a single helpful slop article, and the overgeneralized advice they give doesn't even worth summarizing). Dog knows how much it pisses me off that the internet turned into a place where the info gets rewritten by bots to appease other bots and then once again to make it fucking readable.

    Then, there's that "memory" stuff. Just why exactly do people need it? Make a base prompt editable only by the user and adjustable on a per-conversation basis, and that issue goes away (probably along with a significant portion of your electricity bill wasted on processing literal garbage not relative to the current conversation).

  • Discord Alternatives, Ranked

    Jump

  • What functionality are we talking about? Genuinely curious here, since I use discord like a couple of times a year.

    From what I've noticed, matrix can do basically the same, except for the voice chats which are a pain to setup (and are better handled by jitsi anyways).
