  • Which brands do actually care about a healthy customer relationship more than profit?

    Jump

  • Yup, Valve is still in it for the money of course, but the customer really does come first. I've used their support a few times and they've always been stellar. I will always buy Valve products.

  • Logitech is dropping support for its oldest Harmony remotes

    Jump

  • There are a few, the sofabaton is probably the closest to the cheaper harmony remotes, but it's configured via an app that requires login so not sure how long that will last.

    There are other companies that are targeting the high end remotes too ($300+) but they all appear to be based on android and get very poor battery life.

  • I've only used Sync for Lemmy. What am I missing out on?

    Jump

  • I love Thunder. Have it set up with the small UI, feels like I never left Relay.

  • Discord going public. Plz help a future refugee.

    Jump

  • I think P2P is still the way to go. Sure it's not perfect, but it's simpler and by it's very nature doesn't require the infrastructure we know will be a problem.

    Plus, don't forget screen sharing in discord isn't very good as is (720p30) if you're not a paid user.

  • Why are Google's Assistant(s) so bad nowadays?

    Jump

  • Agreed! I'd say it's moved from advanced to tinkerer level now, where if you have a use case and know it's limitations, it can be pretty neat.

  • Why are Google's Assistant(s) so bad nowadays?

    Jump

  • Voice control of devices you have in home assistant is cool, but I don't think I would recommend it to an average person who uses Google assistant. Sure it can turn the lights on and off if it's aware of those entities, but this user is describing playing games, asking for media streams, podcasts, all things home assistant voice does not support (certainly not out of the box).

  • Removed

    So, after using Lemmy for 1.5 Years. You are telling I am not even allowed to use Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Thunder also allows user tags. Highly recommend it.

  • Is this the best place to donate?

    Jump

  • I'm looking to donate my BTC wallet. Can anyone confirm if they still accept it? All I can find is a tweet from 2022 and nothing current on the site.

  • Alibaba Releases Advanced Open Video Model, Immediately Becomes AI Porn Machine

    Jump

  • Nobody here has at all suggested it's ok to rape kids. I hope you can understand the difference between thinking something and doing something.

  • Therapy is well and good and I think we need far more avenues available for people to get help (for all issues). That said, sexuality and attraction are complicated.

    Let me start by saying I am not trying to state there is a 1:1 equivalence, this is just a comparison, but we have long abandoned conversion therapy for homosexuals, because we've found these preferences are core to them and not easily overwritten. The same is true for me as a straight person, I don't think therapy would help me find men attractive. I have to imagine the same is true for pedophiles.

    The question is, if AI can produce pornography that can satisfy the urges of someone with pedophilia without harming any minors, is that a net positive? Remember the attraction is not the crime, it's the actions that harm others that are. Therapy should always be on the table.

    This is a tricky subject because we don't want to become thought police, so all our laws are built in that manner. However there are big exceptions for sexual crimes due to the gravity of their impact on society. It's very hard to "stand up" for pedophilia because if acted upon it has monstrous effects, but AI is making us open this can of worms that I don't belive we ever really thought through besides criminalizing and demonizing (which could be argued was the correct approach with the technology at the time).

  • Gibberlink

    Jump

  • I stand corrected. It seems odd to me that you would relegate all data transfer to the inaudible range, as you'll have a lot less bandwidth to work with and will likely hit issues with compression technologies that are designed to filter those frequencies out.

    I guess the designers didn't want it to sound so offputting like dial-up did. Still seems odd to me and I'm not surprised it failed my initial sniff test.

  • Gibberlink

    Jump

  • I assume people are shitting on it because it's fake? At least it looks fake to me as the sounds they're making seem the same each time.

    I imagine it would sound a lot more like a dialup modem if it were real as we got pretty good at sending data over audio channels back then. Likely that standard that already exists could be used.

  • Sounds crazy but... maybe you shouldn't delete Facebook just yet

    Jump

  • Current platforms like Lemmy are NOT ready for massive amounts of users. They have very poor moderation controls, no effective strategy to combat bots, and no money to pay people for it.

    The only reason Lemmy is usable right now is because it has nerdy people using it in good faith. If it were to gain critical mass it would collapse under the deluge of trolls and bots.

    It's a quaint little place, and I like it for being that.

  • What are some portable devices that smart phones haven't replaced?

    Jump

  • Thank you, I did a quick google but all I was seeing was articles explaining difference between an LED and a laser, none were saying you could use LEDs to make a laser.

  • What's an LED laser?

  • Trump prepares to change US CHIPS Act conditions, sources say

    Jump

  • He can if the GOP decides to do nothing, and it seems that the game plan. They're all in on downplaying his actions and not ruffling any feathers because to speak out is to be cast out. If they play along, they might just get to keep some power when this is all over.

    They've always been scum, but this is a new low. Dried scum crusted onto the bottom of wherever scum normally resides.

  • Gulf of Make a Report to Apple

    Jump

  • In Canada we see both. It says "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)".

  • Jeep's annoying pop-up nags you to buy an extended warranty at every stop sign

    Jump

  • That future is now. Most modern cars have the dashboard computer completely integrated and you can't remove it without crippling the vehicle.

  • Elon Musk-led group makes $97.4 billion bid for OpenAI, CEO refuses and offers to "buy Twitter for $9.74 billion"

  • This again? It's not going to happen.
