- Comment on Proton mail launches LLM and crypto wallet 21 hours ago:
This is an rclone backend for Proton Drive which supports the file transfer features of Proton Drive using the same client-side encryption. Due to the fact that Proton Drive doesn’t publish its API documentation, this backend is implemented with best efforts by reading the open-sourced client source code and observing the Proton Drive traffic in the browser.
According you the page, no, you’re still wrong.

There’s no api, or there was, when rclone implement it.
- Comment on Proton mail launches LLM and crypto wallet 1 day ago:
They need a simple GUI on top of rclone. The madlads of rclone fucking reversed engineered the drive APIs in record time. Now imagine if they were to tosh some money into that project, and then could focus only in GUI.
- Comment on Microsoft points finger at the EU for not being able to lock down Windows 3 days ago:
AFAIK, blue screen doesn’t mean kernel crash. Hell, windows crashing isn’t even rare.
Certification doesn’t mean it has Microsoft seal of approval either, only that it comes from a certified and approved vendor, with some checks at best.
Config files are not part of the driver, ever. How do you think you can change the settings of you GPU without asking Microsoft?
But hey, if you are so willing to blame Microsoft for the one time it’s not their fault, may I talk to you about our Lord Savior Linux? In my office we only knew because of the memes.
- Comment on Why is Google takeout so bitchy? 4 days ago:
Not sure if somebody mentioned, but you can export to one drive. So you can get a 1TB account for a free trial or for a single month and export everything there as simple files, no large zips. Then with the app download to the computer and then cancel one drive.
Pretend to be in California/EU and then ask full removal of all your data on both Microsoft and google

The driver was signed, the issue was with a configuration file for that’s not part of the driver.
- Comment on Microsoft's Weather app now shows more ads 3 weeks ago:
I had been using Linux for home and work for the past 10 years, dual booting for games mostly (do basically only to use steam).
Recently I had to change jobs and was given a windows laptop. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that the candy crush ad is still present on corporate devices. In a $3500 workstation from a fortune 50. What the hell.
I managed to get a Mac instead. IT is still laughing about me for asking Linux instead

It’s worse than a paid ad. It’s an ad. You have to pay to see.
- Comment on Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads 2 months ago:
If I watch it on TV, computer, tablet or phone, I pirate it. Else, I pay.
Hell, I’m pirating Amazon even though I have Amazon Prime because of how crap the app is.
- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 2 months ago:
It’s not a legal thing. Is the message. “I’m not giving you any more access in the future because you broke our agreement.”
- Comment on ‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services 2 months ago:
want to see a world where content creators are simply paid by the hour, while they work.
Do you? Because that’s how game developers get their ideas crushed in favor of yet another game as a service that nobody asked for but makes stock holders happy.
And for alternative creators, who would pay? Do they need to be churning content as a job and not because they are inspired?
I get the idea, it’s just that seems hard to pull off
- Comment on EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again 2 months ago:
Soon the game world will have speakers with ads, that will not really follow volume settings or distance attenuation.
The tutorial will have you collect “refreshing Pepsi Colas”.
Cinematics will always look to the big billboards.
And the game will have strict anti tampering/mods and will require internet connection to support this adds.
EA doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt anymore
- Comment on Why data centers want to have their own nuclear reactors 2 months ago:
Just one note, nuclear power plants run at around 35% efficiency. This is because they are basically steam generators and tend to not push as hard for safety. I think they can get up to 40-45% with combined cycles and such, but then we are in the “very large” territory

- Comment on China: Uyghur served 7 years in jail for advising others not to drink or smoke. It is first time that one of the jailed residents from Xaneriq village are released alive. 2 months ago:
Of course, in China, it’s illegal to spread religious lies, hate, religious fiction, and complete nonsense.
What’s the sentence for promoting Chinese traditional medicine? Must be severe given it’s all lies, fiction and general nonsense.
- Comment on Chinese schools testing 10,000 locally made RISC-V-ish PCs 3 months ago:
Because as a business, it doesn’t make sense in occident. They will be much worse in price to performance, and probably forget to run windows or other software.
From a business sense, it mostly makes sense of you think being dependent on “traditional” is a risk in a way or another.

Why I imagine Xitter lawyers arguing that was it was neither spoken nor “printed”, they can’t be charged?
- Comment on Amazon's Just Walk Out technology relies on hundreds of workers in India watching you shop 3 months ago:
I understand the spirit, but that’s how it goes. You have somebody doing the work, as you want the ML to do it, and then feed the data. It’s the same when they get oncology scans that have been diagnosed by well paid doctors, somebody who knows does and the machine tries to replicate.
What very likely happened is that the failure rate platoed much higher than they expected, and all this time the goal was to lower it. Remember, it’s cheaper to have 0 people in India than 1, specially with AWS in mind.
Moreover, even if the accuracy was incredibly high, they would still need people reviewing. You have to review random events to ensure the model keeps performing well and to evaluate the ones with low confidence or suspicious.

I think somebody said, but there’s the misconception that Apple can never do wrong by people who should know better.
On the other end of the spectrum, my IT department is rolling new laptops for everybody will l with Windows 10. The plan is to upgrade everybody “the day we can no longer have support for 10”.

Yes

If power consumption is lower, that means can have a more compact cooling. There’s a lot of people who would pay the premium for longer lasting and lighter laptops, myself included.

Ok, I’ve never heard about that. I might run some form of stress test just to see better.
Portable software worked in the past, but I don’t want IT calling me… A third time.
- Comment on Ideas for how to repurpose a half broken laptop 4 months ago:
What you are saying in the first paragraph seems more about cooling capacity rather than the computer taking more power than the power supply can handle. I might have misunderstood, but that’s what I don’t see happening with the charging brick. It does happen with the usb-c hub that’s integrated on the monitor. It barely even keeps the battery with normal work, while my previous x13 (integrated graphics) had no issues regardless of task.
I don’t know the power in idle, I can’t install anything, not sure if I can check. If you know a way let me know and I’ll try.

My Lenovo P1 with an i7 and a Nvidia 4900 and a 230W adapter is wondering what you’re talking about.
