  The article states that’s what the privacy policy sais samsung can sample every 500ms and LG every 10ms. It doesn’t really mean they are, but it’s definitely possible. A very basic way of detecting content is to take a 1000 pixels evenly spaced out over the screen and store the color values. That gives you something you can match against a database. You don’t need to process a 4K screenshot for this.

  99% of what we watch is from streaming (Netflix, YouTube, etc). A dumb tv with a Chromecast probably isn’t any better.

  Won’t be very long until I remove whatsapp from my phone. That one friend that doesn’t want to switch, call me I guess…

  Thats true, I once had to repair my washing machine and I could only find 1 video about the same model and same repair. It was a large Russian man that I could not understand (this was before auto generated subtitles).

  Anyways, I just looked at the video and copied everything he did and I fixed my machine.

  I pay for nebula, they have a lot of educational content and the price is low enough that I don’t mind it

  I don’t know, do I want to know?

  Yeah true, but these are more business to business. RHEL support is pretty expensive, and in my experience Oracle support (maybe not really open source) is both terrible and ridiculously expensive. Maybe this will create a market for more consumer like support. Maybe that could even create new business models for open source software.

  This I remember, also askjeeves, dogpile or something (I think it searched like 30+ different search engines and combined the results)

  Pro Rights would be better, it should not be just a choice it should be a human right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Comment to find this back later! I’m over 40 and just accepted my hands being fucked up as part of life.

  It was my sabbatical, and be really smug when you say it, like I’m better than you.
