  • AI Assistants Are Leaking Your Conversations

    Jump

  • Nothing beyond shipping laptops with NPUs, which isn't unusual since that's what Intel's and AMD's laptop CPUs come with these days.

  • Replicate me a frickin' bone here.

  • Wang. He was an actor from the 20th/21st century who looked just like you, Harry. Say, what's that outside the Flyer? It appears to be some kind of...

  • The cheaper option

  • The staff ate it later.

  • Xbox is ditching Microsoft's Copilot AI

    Jump

  • In theory:

    Player: "Copilot, give me a list of all orifices I can fuck xXx_360noscope_xXx's mom in. Assume I have an extremely small penis."

    Copilot: "You exclusively play the multiplayer mode of AAA games so that's already assumed. Here's your list..."

    In practice:

    Player: "Copilot, give me a list of all orifices I can fuck xXx_360noscope_xXx's mom in. Assume I have an extremely small penis."

    Copilot: "I can't help you with that but did you know you can subscribe to Microsoft® 365™ Copilot® for as little as $19.99, getting access to the industry standard in office productivity tools? Certainly xXx_360noscope_xXx will be impressed by your professional Outlook® presentations and seamless integration with Teams®."

    Player: "My penis isn't that small and neither is his."

    xXx_360noscope_xXx: "Yeah, dude. That was uncalled for."

  • All new laptops must have USB-C to be sold in the European Union(EU)

    Jump

  • Though, to be fair, Framework laptops can't charge from all of their ports. The 16 can charge from one port each per side; not sure about the 13 and 12.

  • All new laptops must have USB-C to be sold in the European Union(EU)

    Jump

  • Nope, still perfectly legal. Proprietary charging ports are allowed but have to be accompanied by a USB PD port that supports the same wattage (or 240 W if the device needs more than that).

    So basically the law says "devices must support USB PD", not "devices must only support USB PD".

  • All new laptops must have USB-C to be sold in the European Union(EU)

    Jump

  • They can.

    USB-C goes up to 240 W now and the law has been amended to acknowledge the new USB PD spec. Devices are also allowed to have proprietary charging ports but must include a USB-C port capable of showing the full power draw of the device (or 240 W of they need more than that).

    So a big gaming laptop might have a USB PD-capable port that supports 240 W and a barrel jack that supports 350 W.

  • Canonical Says Ubuntu Infrastructure Is Facing Cross-Border DDoS Attack

    Jump

  • Interesting. So only the fast distros were done patching by time of disclosure. The ones you wouldn't run a server on. Because only the kernel devs better informed. That's... pretty amateurish from the guys who discovered CopyFail.

  • Canonical Says Ubuntu Infrastructure Is Facing Cross-Border DDoS Attack

    Jump

  • Most distros delivered patched kernels well before the vulnerability was publicly disclosed. Not sure if Ubuntu did but they had ample time to do so.

  • I investigated Windows 11's massive 5GB monthly .msu updates, and AI is only part of the problem

    Jump

  • They do; the article points that out.

    However, this doesn't work in enterprise environments. Companies want to download updates once and then deliver then themselves when and to whom they want. And that means they need to download all of them.

    These days they're all bundled up in one huge package so companies have to devote a of storage for update files that mostly contain the same stuff as last month's.

  • WHY YOU LITTLE!

    Jump

  • Go with the times. Make a version where they fall into The Receiver's gaping colon for 10,000 years. Make Hampster Dance start playing after 5,000 years just to fuck with them.

  • AMD: Ryzen Desktop CPUs Reportedly See a Price Increase of Over 50% in Some Countries

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's what I refer to with offloading. Depending on the model and runtime it might be a bit fiddly but it usually works fine.

  • AMD: Ryzen Desktop CPUs Reportedly See a Price Increase of Over 50% in Some Countries

    Jump

  • The newer CPU generations come with cores optimized for this stuff (referred to as an NPU). It actually seems to work fairly well for the kind of model you'd run locally.

    Barring that, a typical laptop dGPU will also work, although not super efficiently since they often don't exceed 8 GB of VRAM and thus can't run most models without partially offloading them to the CPU.

    Of course a laptop with a dGPU and NPU cores will make the offloading less painful. So yeah, workable for most reasonably-sized models.

  • Thank you for flying Spirit

    Jump

  • I don't think that a plane in flight is likely to have good EMT coverage.

    There's a significant difference between "we're in an easily reachable party of a major city and I can expect a fully equipped ambulance to be here in minutes" and "we're in mid-air and even if we make an emergency landing the patient won't receive medical care for another hour unless I provide it".

  • Some of the newer C# features are nice. Of course .Net is not handled by the same people who keep setting Windows on fire.

  • Yeah. 60% more responsive for something infamous for taking multiple seconds to launch is depressingly bad. That's "not even trying" levels of improvement.

    The start menu should open essentially instantly (excluding optional animations) – 100 ms is good, 200 ms is somewhat adequate. They're aiming for somewhere between 400 and 1200 ms.

    I hope for them that they underpromise and overdeliver because this does not inspire confidence.

  • That does make sense when you need absolute precision like when doing abstract math. Otherwise you can just use whichever unit and number of significant digits you need and be precise to that amount. That's what you do with imperial/American customary units as well; a 5/32" screw isn't going to be manufactured to the precision of a Planck length; manufacturers specify their sizes to three significant digits of an inch.

    Let's say you have a machining project and your tools are precise to 0.1 mm. So you plan things out at a precision of 0.1 mm. It doesn't matter that a distance is 17/38 cm exactly. It doesn't matter that it's 4.473684210526315789... mm. You can't set the tool to anything better than 4.5 mm anyway.

    Also note that the metric system doesn't prevent you from using fractions. You're perfectly free to work with fractions where useful. That's just not how people talk about lengths because those fractions have no meaning outside your specific use case.

  • Looking at you, No Man's Sky

    Jump

  • Those planets typically don't heave a breathable atmosphere, though. You pretty much need a large biosphere if you want to be able to walk around without a spacesuit. An iceball world or a barren rock probably won't contain a breathable amount of oxygen in an otherwise mostly inert atmosphere. If you want to breathe pure carbon dioxide or get fried by nearly unfiltered UV radiation, though, they'd be great.

  • This single word could cost progressives their US citizenship

    Jump

  • So they'll make you stateless and ship you off to whichever country is willing to provide a terminal storage facility for politically undesirable former citizens. People who build concentration camps don't particularly care about details like whether an "immigrant" is a citizen born to citizens.
