  • Panasonic Announces Return to the US with New Line-Up of OLED and Mini-LED TVs with Fire TV Built In

  • Can't you simply not connect your display to the Internet, or place it after a firewall which is blocking the internet traffic.

    I seriously don't understand your concerns.

  • Kids who use ChatGPT as a study assistant do worse on tests

    Jump

  • I think here you also need to teach your kid not to trust unconditionally this tool and to question the quality of the tool. As well as teaching it how to write better prompts, this is the same like with Google, if you put shitty queries you will get subpar results.

    And believe me I have seen plenty of tech people asking the most lame prompts.

  • Most likely you are under CGNAT, so your best bet is Tailscale, Wireguard, CloudFlare Tunnel or Zero Tier. Pick your poison.

  • Which protocol or open standard do you like or wish was more popular?

  • The metric system, f*ck the imperial system. Every scientist sticks to the metric system, and why are people even still having an imperial system, with outdated measurements like stones for weight blows my mind.

    Also f*ck Fahrenheit, we have Celsius and Kalvin for that, we don't need another hard to convert temperature measurement.

  • NVIDIA's Dominance In ADAS Chips Under Threat From Chinese OEMs, Huawei's HiSilicon All Set To Announce A Breakthrough Development

    Jump

  • Amazing how Academia in the US is dominated by Asian people.

  • Snapdragon X Elite Reviews are Out: Solid Performance and Great Battery Life | Beebom

  • I wonder what's the Linux experience/support on this laptop

  • TIL 40 states in the US charge you $20-$80 a day for being incarcerated in prison.

    Jump

  • Isn't the US famous for their prison for profit, where prisons are privately owned and states need to pay if there are fewer incarcerated people inside?

    To me, this sounds straight from 1984.

  • What's your thoughts on Rustdesk?

    Jump

  • So your point is that a FOSS application made in China is sketchy by default or what exactly?

    Damn, you Americans are really brainwashed that everything that originates from China is bad.

    You know you are free to use TeamViewer or Anydesk and no one is forcing you to use Rustdesk.

  • J&J, Merck, and Bristol Myers Squibb spend billions more on executives and stockholders than on R&D — Senate report points to greed and ‘patent thickets’ as key reasons for high prices

    Jump

  • How can you call a country with a two-party political system a democracy is the real question here? Yes, you have primary and the political agenda of the candidates differ to some extent but this isn't really a democracy in my eyes.

    For me democracy is to have a plurality of political parties, to form a government with other political parties and people to have a real choice and what you have in the US isn't exactly that.

  • Chinese Carmaker Overtakes Tesla as World’s Most Popular EV Maker

    Jump

  • And still their shares are just a fraction of Tesla's share price.

  • TrueNAS/Nextcloud HEIC support?

    Jump

  • You are missing the elephant in the room here that this format isn't royalty free and requires a license and is patented.

    Same story with H.265 and AV1 in the video. AV1 is royalty free video codec while H.265 is patented so every device that transcodes or encodes to it should pay royalty fee to the patent holder, but due to the fact that H.265 predates AV1, a lot of devices still don't fully support AV1.

    Also Apple are always supporting not open standards in their device making the whole interoperability a big mess. For example HLS vs Dash or Fair Play vs Widevine and the refusal of Apple to adopt AES-128 CTR to alleviate the problem with interoperability between devices. All of this because they want to extract the maximum profit from their users and lock their users.

    The lightning cable was a prime example, where Apple put a small DRM chip that needs to authorize that the cable is authentic otherwise your phone won't charge. And all of this so that they can charge third party vendors royalty fees on their cables and their long standing refusal to adopt USB-C on the iPhone.

  • Early impressions of Google's Gemini aren't great | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • I read the article and it felt very strongly opinionated. I would personally wait for independent reviews of the capabilities of both GPT-4 and Gemini Ultra but I dare say that we as consumers of AI can only benefit from increased competition in the sector, pushing the prices down and the quality of the models up.
