Really? There’s something appealing to me about decoupling my cellular modem from my phone; I used an iPod Touch instead of a smartphone for years (with Wifi and VoIP).
At this point I have zero interest in a dedicated audio player.
And if I wanted one… my watch holds more MP3s than the original iPod did. I can just play music from my watch.
Or my graphing calculator.
Or, for that matter, my over the ear headphones which have a microSD slot.
Despite the fact that click death was avoidable with a simple bracket OR an updated driver AND only affected their very first product, I won’t really miss them.
If Jazz drives had been their first product and at a reasonable price point, things probably would’ve gone differently for them.
I bet it moves to Windows 10.
You can turn that off.
For me, speakerphone goes on temporarily if I need multiple people to be able to both listen and speak to an existing conversation.
Otherwise, they join the call on their own devices.
I find holding a phone up to my cheek really annoying though; I could see secondary exceptions for people with wireless headphones whose batteries had just died.
How about neither?
Iranians/Persians are white European colonists?
I was with you until the last statement; it’s not antisemitism; pretty much everyone in the mid east is “Semitic”. It’s being against a nation who lives on land that they believe is rightfully theirs, persecuting and outright genociding people of a shared sect of their religion.
They don’t want to nuke Israel, because they want the land; they don’t want to kill all Jews (other than the far right agitators that seem to pop up everywhere), they want to destroy the nation of Israel.
This makes things a bit messy because if Israel ceased to be a country and Palestine took over tomorrow, Iran would rejoice, but then they’d likely try expanding into surrounding countries, and at least some would want to absorb Palestine into Iran.
They’d also have to come to grips with the US, who has been the great satan for two generations now. Iran has defined itself in relation to the US in the meantime.
Meanwhile, most people living in Iran identify themselves as Persian, and don’t consider this their fight. And the Persian diaspora is pretty large.
On the plus side, the US government has now ensured Anthropic will do more than the bare minimum in the US.
Of course, that means it’s now OpenAI making kill decisions.
Great; that means the bloodiest hardliners will rise to power now.
Have you been in a coma since 2018?
American scum have always been American scum, and strong supporters of Putin and Orban.
“What would usually take, for an analysis piece, maybe half a day to a day, was really being crunched down to a few hours, and (it) was scarily accurate,” says Kolga, who tested out Cipher in its early stages and still uses the AI agent to expedite his work.
Of course it’s a broad generalization; my point was that the tent cities aren’t predominantly made up of people who hit the kill line, that the situation isn’t that simple.
Fixing the kill line won’t affect tent cities that much; there are further societal issues that are also at play.
In China, substance abuse is handled differently as is mental health issues… so you don’t end up with those people in tent cities either.
This doesn’t mean those people don’t exist in a state of suffering; it just means they’re not publicly visible.
Totally incoherent; the first half was meant to be a reply to a completely different comment. Fixing.
Most people who hit the kill line have someone to go live with.
The tent cities aren’t a symptom of two totally different issues: mental health and drug addiction.
And THESE are due to a more endemic cultural issue of: who takes care of people when their friends and family won’t, coupled with the people rejecting the help that’s offered because from their perspective, the tent cities are better than the alternatives?
Nice; most people don’t make it to Siping! Very friendly area, although a bit cold at this time of year.
Isn’t “theshamblog” AI generated? So in this case, including the Ars article it’s referencing?
The pieces are dated 2024.
Obviously that one guy is unaware of the current easy $140k options on the table.
This might be romanticizing the early Internet.
I can remember plenty of flame wars in the late 80s and early 90s that were all about shutting down meaningful discussion. Informed debate flourished in niche areas, but it still does today, in a similar volume. What’s changed is the massive volume of social media that’s grown up around it, including many types of voices that were in short supply on the Internet in 1989, and many of which are uneducated and/or tribal in nature.
To be fair, the FSF is partially incorrect; a government can indeed craft their copyright laws such that OnlyOffice’s license restrictions are valid. However, to my knowledge, no government has done so to date, so the FSF is correct in practice; the extra restrictions in the repository violate international copyright laws.
