  • OpenAI wants to buy Chrome and make it an “AI-first” experience

    Jump

  • I’ve said this before and will say it again. The only tech companies that should be allowed to buy Chrome are Canonical and its equivalents.

  • France to ban students from keeping smartphones in schools

    Jump

  • You compared smartphones to previous tech such as Walkmans, and I explained how they’re nowhere near the same in the extreme case (unsupervised access). No school is gonna confiscate the phones as long as the kids listen. And the kids need to learn to listen to parents and teachers. Discipline is sorely missing in the new generation. Look at that series “adolescence “ to see the real effects of giving kids a smartphone.

    And jamming is expensive and ineffective (you’ll end up jamming nearby devices not on school property too).

  • Yeah I think the adverse effect of handing an iPhone to a 10 year old in Atlanta, when that teen is still highly impressionable unrestricted and unsupervised access to the internet is far worse than handing a kid a Gameboy on which they can only game, or a Walkman on which the worst thing they can do is listen to Cardi B.

  • Justice Department asks judge to order Google the "immediate" sale of Chrome

  • Sell it to Canonical

  • Spinning off AOSP into something like Mozilla would massively boost its appeal. I myself left android cuz of privacy issues (no I can’t use GrapheneOS, I need access to my banking apps).

  • The Big Question: would you still buy a Tesla?

    Jump

  • Exactly, even minus the Nazi thing they are terrible products. And they’ve been terrible for a while. The only good things were the first mover advantage, battery tech and supercharger network.

    Meanwhile the competitors like BYD have caught up.

  • With New Decree, Trump Threatens Lawyers and Law Firms

    Jump

  • Trump’s America has long crossed the Rubicon. He will continue to only double down, as any dictator does.

    America and the world (except for the Neo Axis powers) will continue to suffer. Unless by some miracle democracy still functions in US.

  • They really rushed the AI part cuz let’s face it, iOS hasn’t really innovated in a while. They typically wait for other makers to make a new thing (i.e. the swipe down to access settings in android), then take a few years to polish it.

    Samsung and Google have been building AI models for a while, cuz they had access to tons of data. Post ChatGPT release Apple realised it’s suddenly light years behind its competitors. So yeah, this is likely the most half baked product Apple has ever released. Similar Apple Maps, but shouldn’t have advertised entire phones on these half baked feature.

  • You can also use ChatGPT without login.

  • Firmware update bricks HP printers, makes them unable to use HP cartridges

    Jump

  • Yeah HP’s recent elite book is unfortunately popular with businesses. My office got them when we were about to be issued. Everyone complained, so they decided to move back to Dell for standard issue. Unfortunately I’m stuck with HP for next few years.

  • How would Linux look like when it hits 10% marketshare?

  • M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location

    Jump

  • Imagine a scenario where a bunch of these are used as a server and to power cycle all of them need to turned off.

  • Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers

    Jump

  • I mean he’s legally obligated to, not really a choice. He can say screw it, but then he opens himself up to legal troubles.

  • Lots of PCs are poised to fall off the Windows 10 update cliff one year from today

    Jump

  • It typically happens during updates. People have reported their grub screwing up. If you’re able I would honestly suggest separate drives

    Musk’s X blocked links to JD Vance dossier after hearing from Trump campaign

    Jump

  • Exactly, Twitter still has over 200 million DAU. Thread has about 30 million, Bluesky has less. Mastodon is worse.

    Things like my city’s metro communication is still on Twitter. People aren’t going leave anytime soon.

  • In France you can have it delivered to a post office. To pick it up you’ll need to show a state id card as proof.
