- Comment on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second 1 month ago:
Totally agree. It sounds like something was lost in translation here by the final edit of potentially some run though a llm for proof reading to dumb it down enough to either just make it more consumable, more clickbait or realistic both.
My guess is the actual research reported that it was 100s of packets per second (not screenshots) which is still a lot more than you would expect even for spyware. Either way it’s been well known that smart tvs are spyware ridden, I don’t need a paywalled service to tell me that.
- Comment on OpenAI to remove non-profit control and give Sam Altman equity 1 month ago:
Aaaaand
^Pop^ goes the AI bubble.
Last stages of capitalism for tech is usually in the form of an ipo of some sort which is what this will lead to.
There will be other cool shit obviously with integrations and tools that will hopefully trickle down to open source models but the writing is on the wall. This is a cash out and enshittify move.
The best news out of it is we will start to see less and less “our company is Ai and we shoved Ai into said thing” as the companies late to the game will continue to shoot their shot until OpenAI has completely dominated the market and investors stop caring.
- Comment on Student dorm does not allow wifi routers 2 months ago:
Honestly this sounds like a bit of a pickle. If I were in your situation I would just use one of the cellular carriers 5g internets. I personally use a T-Mobile 5g internet hotspot with a fresh tomato flashed nether 6700 plugged into it. Then I basically do all of my networking from that. Latency is a fair bit higher (usually about 30-50ms) but upload is significantly better than spectrum.
- Comment on Decentralised YouTube alternative Odysee no longer serving ads 3 months ago:
- Install watch on odysee extension.
- Make a odysee account
- Continue your normal habits of watching YouTube but being redirected to odysee when creators have posted there.
- hurt YouTube just a little bit.
I’m so sick of hearing that odysee is only a nazi crypto scam. That content exists on every platform but by shitting all over every option that comes out and then whining when YouTube does more anti user crap is just ridiculous.
You don’t need to just use odysee. You can use YouTube for your recommendations then be redirected for the content. Eventually when recommendations are there it will be an easy transition for the majority of people but until then, at the very least don’t step on the face of a working competitor that has good intentions.
P.s. You don’t need to use the token, it was mostly just given to viewers and creators for free.
- Comment on I'm sorry, little one 3 months ago:
I wouldn’t say it particularly sucks. It could be used as a powerhouse hosting server. Docker makes it very easy to do no matter the os now a days. Really though I’d say its competition is more along the lines of ampere systems in terms of power to performance. It even beats amperes 128 core arm cpu at a power to performance ratio which is extremely impressive in the server/enterprise world. Not to say you’re gonna see them in data centers because price to performance is a thing as well. I just feel like it fits right into the niche it was designed for.
- Comment on is it possible to host a small instance on your pc without renting anything? 3 months ago:
You make good points here for the beginner however there are better alternatives and solutions for basically everything you mentioned here. The biggest I want to address is conflicts on your system. Generally running servers on metal is just outright bad practice. Containerize. Always containerize. There are lots of great options. Docker, podman, Lxc, helm, flatpak… hell. Snap if you must. Running servers on metal is generally is just asking for trouble unless the system’s entire purpose is for that. Also the cg-nat situation. Personally been behind it for a few years but it’s not a problem as long as you have a reverse proxy tunnel in place. Not a hard fix at all.

For those who are saying just photoshop.

Obviously you can just use other software but PS is the main choice for image editing. What they need to do is put legislation in place and it will make the biggest players implement this form of drm.

They are deafening but usually they are very well insulated seeing as keeping servers cool is very expensive and extremely important.
- Comment on Cloudflare is bad. Youre right. 4 months ago:
If you like 1.1.1.1 the. You should try 9.9.9.9. Or better yet host unbound pihole if you’re up to the challenge. Best dns experience I’ve had.
- Comment on US Record Labels Sue AI Music Generators Suno and Udio for Copyright Infringement 4 months ago:
Jesus Christ. Have people never heard of covers? Every song here is in some way or another akin to a published cover of another song. Pretty bad ones at that. Obviously if it were matching the songs one for one, then it would be considered copywrite enforceable but realistically these would be more along the lines of copywrite abuse. The music labels would absolutely love for this precedent to be set so that anything even that remotely resembles anything ever made will allow them to own new independent artists within established genres.
Here is a list of cases that set precedent. The thing that connects them all and makes them relevant is that the defendant was either successful, made a lot of money, was very popular or it was the label attacking a artist for sounding like themself after leaving the band. See John Fogerty v. John Fogerty
- Comment on Netris is an open-source cloud gaming platform with Stadia-like features using Proton 5 months ago:
The nvidia/vulkan open source driver is apparently pretty rad. I haven’t had a chance to test it myself yet since I am running a dual gpu setup that contains one gpu that isn’t supported. The original maintainer for nouveau is apparently also working at Nvidia and contributing to the project as an Nvidia employee now too soooo maybe they are turning over a new leaf?
He goes into detail in the video below. odysee.com/…/did-nvidia-just-officially-support:2
- Comment on OpenAI plans to announce Google search competitor on Monday, sources say 6 months ago:
But duck duck go has ads… They are just as search results. My Pihole will actively block access to those links because they are promoted content. They also have a little “ad” tag alongside the post.
- Comment on Apple is officially dropping iPhone support for web apps in the EU - The Verge 8 months ago:
As a sysadmin and self-hoster this decision will absolutely make me drop Apple 150%. A clean and well implemented pwa was a big reason I have stuck with my iPhone 12 despite buying a pixel 7. I know there are options on Android but they all have issues either in ux or in ui that makes it very obvious I’m using a pwa.
- Comment on Apple’s MacBook Pro memory problem is worse than ever 11 months ago:
Yeah, that is true. I’m personally not too worried about it. I was just stating my experience. I’ve seen some m1 airs go for around 300 dollars on local marketplaces in working condition. I personally think they are a steal. That being said keeping your important data backed up at all times is a given. A dead ssd is a dead ssd whether it is soldered to the board or not.
Honestly I’m looking forward to the day it shows problems. I would love to pull a main board from a for parts fully loaded or at least close to it air (doubt there are many out there) and do a swap to see if it works.
- Comment on Apple’s MacBook Pro memory problem is worse than ever 11 months ago:
Honestly 8GiB is not a problem at all on the m1. I personally use mine about as hard as I use my 2018 razer blade advanced with 64 gb of ram. The fast storage in the first Apple silicon laptops allow for swap so fast that it just doesn’t matter. (Swap being kind of like using your storage as ram for folks who don’t know) the only time I found myself wanting is when I was running any servers for hosting local games or for extra gpu capabilites while viewing large intricate sliced files in cura. I can’t speak much for m2 or m3 but m1 it was a solid option to go with the base considering you were getting the best speakers and some of the best build quality out of such a thin and battery efficient device.
- Comment on Guys!!! It gets good around chapter 1176. 11 months ago:
Thank you for posting this. I gave up on the show a week ago around episode 600. Marineford legitimately felt like they spit in my face and told me my time was worthless with how many cuts of “he’s almost there”. The show looks like it gets interesting again afterwards but Marineford legit just sucked the will out of me to continue watching. I was thinking of looking up a fan edit to just get the cliff notes and this is perfect!

- Comment on Extruder clicking 11 months ago:
Check the screw that is imbedded in the brass gear. It holds it in place to the stepper motor it is attached to. If it is loose at all then it will produce similar results to a clog. Also be sure that the screw is aligned to the cutout on the stepper motor axel. That is what keeps it spinning. If it is tightened but not aligned then it will make that skipping sound.

What is it with these “allegations”? This is the kind of stuff they would brag about on investor calls.
- Comment on Apple Event Next Week Likely to Emphasize High-End Gaming on Mac 1 year ago:
I wish. That will likely be up to the Asahi team to do though. If only there was a arm64(aarch64) version of steam available that basically bundled box64 on steam.
- Comment on Apple considered ditching Google for DuckDuckGo in Safari’s private mode | But Apple exec argued DuckDuckGo wasn't as private as believed. 1 year ago:
Well yeah, paranoid but also people who are sick of providing valuable data(capital) to a business model that thrives on the worst traits of the internet.
- Comment on Apple considered ditching Google for DuckDuckGo in Safari’s private mode | But Apple exec argued DuckDuckGo wasn't as private as believed. 1 year ago:
Don’t get me wrong. I am not advocating for google here. They are basically evil. The truth is that DDG does collect data and serve ads. By doing so that means they are not private like they advertise. Just do a search. Your first results will be marked as ad spots. The only way to get around this is to use a search engine aggregator such as searx or something self hosted then have lots of people use that to obscure the collection and profile generation. Point is DDG is not a golden child here. It’s a company just like any other in data mining markets.

Good god what are you going on about? The majority of showrooms are in malls. The delivery centers and repair centers that aren’t in malls are located in the middle of large cities.

Why even include the section for dual boot on metal? Windows is just going to overwrite the bootloader next forced update anyway.

But he’s actually right. It does serve ads and it uses bing trackers despite them claiming they don’t track you.
