DOGE was putting the fox in charge of hen welfare. The “spirit” was just a bare minimum facade so they could redirect funds towards billionaires bank accounts.

It's only going to get so much worse. Most companies right now are dropping all the standards they still had to ship AI slop code as fast as possible.

My concern is stiffer cables are likely more likely to rip USB ports off the PCB. A lot of devices provide very little support to the USB port which is basically just hanging off p…

It’s much cheaper to just buy your cables from Apple or LTT knowing they tested them on a 6 figure testing rig. I throw out every usb cable that comes bundled with devices because …

It’s because you are using the lowest use case for usb (like most people). Literally everything can manage 65w power only. All of these “usb sucks” posts are about using multiple 4…

It's the cost of the current nvidia hardware used to run these models. Of course all bets are off if you are accounting for some future chip that doesn't exist yet which could cost…

Would depend on the income levels, but yeah, buying a new phone these days is entirely a non essential luxury. An iphone easily lasts 7 years so the moment money is tight, it's a v…

Outside of this website I've never met a person who buys a new phone every year. It's closer to every 3-4 years for most people.

It costs something like $300,000 for the hardware to run a model of that size. You'd pay that for a single model for 1-2 years? Not even the AI companies can justify that kind of s…

If the legal system declares the first thief’s theft not theft then all bets are off.

These new datacenters aren’t for powering social media. All this extra capacity is for slop generators actively making the world worse.

This is an investor scam and not a real proposal.

Pretty much, disrupting datacenter builds is one of the few ways people can fight back against evil tech billionaires.

I think a Linux phone probably appeals to the same kind of person who prefers real keys over digital ones.

I don't expect linux phones to catch up to ios for the mainstream, but I can see them working for me. I usually carry an actual camera with me so I don't care much about my phone o…

The unalive thing I think is mostly down to silent deranking rather than regular moderation. People know certain things cause your posts to be deranked by the algorithm but you can…

As far as I can tell, Passkeys is just like ssh keys for normal people. But there's a lot of implementation details which get confused with the base specification. They can be tied…

Thread is fairly similar to Zigbee, just standardized and doesn't require brand specific hubs. You can actually control thread devices direct from an iphone with no hub at all. Wif…

Someone paying hundreds for a good cover design is a signifier that a lot of effort went in to the book and the cover reflects that. An AI cover signifies that this is a quick rush…

I don’t want to have to go to a website and download every update manually. I want my saves synced between my PC and steam deck, I want achievements, I want to invite people from m…

>that synced passkeys should be secure in even in situations involving compromised clients? I think that is the idea actually. By using secure hardware features it is in theory pos…

I had a click around Apple Passwords on macos and I could not find a way to move my passkeys to another app. I could only see a way to share them with other Apple Passwords users.

It’s not possible with any Denuvo game which will require you reactivate with a drm server every so often.

Depends. Steam is not DRM itself, you can open the game folder and copy the game to another computer and steam doesn’t care. The game often has its own DRM though which will stop y…

Not really. They left games broken when they shut down Games for Windows Live.
