  It’s because Edge is built on Chromium now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facebook's VR Headset Not Selling, Literally Giving It Away⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The main problem with the Pro is that it completely fails at the thing it was primarily marketed for: AR passthrough.

  The cameras are so bad that when you use video passthrough, everything is blurry. It’s completely unusable. No one will ever use it for productivity tasks in its current form. Meta should have just focused on making a high end gaming version because they failed at making it usable for anything business related.

  I don’t really agree with this sentiment.

  Are they dipshits?

  Yes

  Should Sothebys lose all credibility and be fined for faking an auction?

  Also yes.

  This crosses certain lines that are beyond just: huuuur crypto dumb

  The devil what?!?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today, Reddit forcibly removed me (and everyone else) as mods of /r/iOSProgramming, a subreddit of about 130k users. I was keeping the sub private / NSFW | Tanner B 🦕🧁 (@objc@mastodon.social)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure what he expected. I commend all the protesting, but we all saw how reddit responded. They didn’t give two shits. Yet people stick around in a toxic relationship with the site until they get removed. It’s weird. Why not just make the move to Lemmy before they take everything from you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's impressive how bad it is⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Lmao I can tell you’ve never used Teams before.

  I work for MS and literally every MS employee hates Teams. I would cut off my tongue before I recommend it to a friend.

  The problem with Discord isn’t the program, it’s the fact that we have a million different servers now. People just don’t like having to go to a new server for every different conversation, but that’s the way they all chose to use it so it’s their own fault.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft now has implemented "compare with Bing chat" button when you visit Google Bard in Edge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Google left their “do no harm” motto in the dust long ago and is one of the largest internet monopolies of all time. Both companies suck in that regard.

  But yeah, google search is getting worse and worse every day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Is Starting to Look Like the Dot Com Bubble⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Crypto is still incredibly healthy. Bitcoin has been stable at $30k.

  Is it still a big scam? Maybe. But what happened with FTX was just good ol corruption.

  Anyone with exposure to Crypto either already collapsed, or wound down their position, so there wasn’t a huge effect on markets. AI will be similar. Some VC will fail, but it’s not the same as the dotcom bubble. It won’t cause a recession

  OpenAI may fail if Microsoft doesn’t keep throwing money at it, but they already got what they want out of it. They’ll probably just end up acquiring the foundation and make money from the ways they’re implementing it in their products.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A feud is heating up between Arizona workers and the world's leading chipmaker after the company claimed the US doesn't have the skills to build its new factory⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This seems like an “if you build it, they will come” situation. We clearly don’t have a thriving chip maker industry in this country, so it’s going to take a while to build that job market.

  I thought the US gov was dedicated to making this happen no matter the cost?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT In Trouble: OpenAI may go bankrupt by 2024, AI bot costs company $700,000 every day⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Microsoft reported profitability in their AI products last quarter, with a substantial gain in revenue from it.

  It won’t take long for them to recoup their investment in OpenAI.

  If OpenAI has been more responsible in how they released ChatGPT, they wouldn’t be facing this problem. Just completely opening Pandora’s box because they were racing to beat everyone else out was extremely irresponsible and if they go bankrupt because of it then whatever.

  There’s plenty of money to be made in AI without everyone just fighting over how to do it in the most dangerous way possible.

  I’m also not sure nVidia is making the right decision trying their company to AI hardware. Sure, they’re making mad money right now, but just like the crypto space that can dry up instantly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intel 'Downfall': Severe flaw in billions of CPUs leaks passwords and much more⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This does sound like planned obsolescence to me…

  Oop CPU sales are down! Leak one of our critical flaws to force people to upgrade!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 26-year-old Quake 2 just got the remaster of my dreams, plus a big expansion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I was half expecting it to use the same graphics as the latest quake. Pretty pleased that they went this direction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, right-wingers flock to “safe-spaces” as much as the far-left does. Lemmy doesn’t have the tools to make a single community isolated like they could on Reddit, so they have to go to their own instances and end up defederated.

  The main differences between left-wing and right-wing communities is that the right-wing ones quickly deteriorate towards a lot of hate related things. This leads them to being isolated from the rest. The left wingers are mostly tolerable and are just over zealous in preaching things like forcing everyone to use pronouns, lmao.
