  This was desperately needed.

  But I’m not convinced they aren’t just going to make alts.

  Isn’t there already a special low-power part of phone chips designed to listen for wake words?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuck you in particular⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Does anyone have an HDR photo?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you recognize this PC case?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reverse image search. Some guy posted this on Reddit a year ago

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you recognize this PC case?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Found this, looks pretty close Image

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everytime i come across a 3d printing post⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s biodegradable in an industrial composter, and degrades in sunlight. Sure it’s not perfect, but compared to everything else its impact is minimal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Codeberg: army of AI crawlers are extremely slowing us; AI crawlers learned how to solve the Anubis challenges.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, it’s expensive to comply (at a massive scale), but easy to avoid. Just change the user agent. There’s even a dedicated extension for bypassing Anubis.

  Even then AI servers have plenty of compute, it realistically doesn’t cost much. Maybe like a thousandth of a cent per solve? They’re spending billions on GPU power, they don’t care.

  I’ve been saying this since day 1 of Anubis but nobody wants to hear it.

  I think if I smacked someone with the pan it would cause a significant amount of harm

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World's first 'thermodynamic computing chip' reaches tape out⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  up to 1000x energy consumption efficiency in these workloads

  Seems like a win to me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A good example were those Apple AI ads. So cringe. Google’s ads aren’t much better but at least Gemini works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brooklyn electronics company Adafruit hit with surprise $36K tariff bill: "pay in one week"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not only that, but they make a LOT of libraries that make using those sensors WAY easier. Arduino, CircuitPython, and more. And lots of well-written tutorials! They care, and it shows. They don’t deserve these tariffs…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Am I missing something? You’re on a forum right now, no?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not even close. Ifixit did some testing, daily MagSafe wireless charging uses 36% more energy than a wire (which includes idle power draw). It also means slower charging.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the flintstones vitamins people should make a candy product⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In your example, if gummy candy wasn’t sold in the US, the exact same thing would’ve happened. It’s more to do with vitamin packaging.
