Isn’t this like applying instagram filters, which can be done on run of the mill smartphones?
- Comment on Iran includes American tech giants on list of new targets 4 days ago:
Russia had some reputation of being a large and powerful army, but as soon as they attacked Ukraine it showed the world it actually had shit. It basically lost its credibility of being a world power because their arsenal is old fashioned and they were just throwing in bodies.
I feel the US is going through the same. Everyone saw them as an undefeatable nation, but this little stint in Iran had their stockpiles dropping faster than expected and it’s not going as they expected. Hegseth and Trump contradict each other and besides squandering their soft power over the past years, they are also showing that their military might has limits.
They are both still to be reckoned with and they are capable of doing great harm to innocent bystanders, but my view has changed a bit.

They’re becoming “smart” as well, unfortunately.

Can you patent something as trivial as this?
- Comment on Teams’ invasive Wi‑Fi tracking sparks backlash as users say Microsoft crossed a line — “There must be a team at Microsoft tasked with making Teams worse” 2 weeks ago:
Please add _nomap to the end of your SSID (the name of your wifi network) if you don’t want Google to use it in their tracking mechanisms.
Please add _optout anywhere in your SSID if you don’t want Microsoft to use it in their tracking mechanisms.
If your SSID is Network change it to Network_optout_nomap
Ridiculous as fuck, but that’s what they came up with. I have no idea what other services use to block their Wifi collectors, but these 2 are very prominent anyway.

We have a very strong national use of Hoplr, so it’ll be really hard to get people over and I haven’t seen any malpractice by Hoplr yet.
- Comment on Sell your RAM, and quickly go from COD to the real world. 2 weeks ago:
Having to retrieve the arrows after shooting them at a target seems highly unlikely. Why would it be a good choice?
- Comment on MSI's $80 AMD motherboards with DDR4 support swoop in to rescue gamers amid the global RAM crisis 2 weeks ago:
I have love for this machine. It has a 6W TDP CPU and 16GB LPDDR3. Unfortunately the CPU is soldered to the board. Recently added a PCI expansion for 1 extra SATA slot for an extra disk. Works great, but it’s pretty muchel maxxed out now. Gonna hold onto this for as long as it goes.

My DDR3 mini itx board already has the max capacity installed years ago, which was 16gb. It’s reached the ceiling :(

- Comment on The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about 3 weeks ago:
I took the plunge last month and went with 32GB 6000MT/s DDR5 in a new system. 16GB VRAM card, too.
We’ll see if this system will hold up for as long as my old pc did, which was 10 years.

- Comment on In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud 4 weeks ago:
Music gives me goosebumps all the time. Even the things I’ve been listening to for over 30 years. I believe it’s a physical thing, not everyone has it. I didn’t know it could go away, at least that’s how I’m reading your last line.

- Comment on Question: Is there a Self Hosted Discord like app? 5 weeks ago:
Yes, Mattermost. It’s very similar to Slack and Discord. I have hosted it for years for our organization.
There’s a web interface, and has an app available. Can have all sorts of integrations and bridges to other services.
- Comment on Save as PDF 5 weeks ago:
“Print to file” to create a PDF, but it’s Microsoft’s stupid alternative format. Can’t even remember its name, nobody used it.

I’d put this in a mirror configuration tbh.

Reddit is the new Facebook. Kids don’t think it’s cool so they avoid it. Got this first hand. It’s got a big userbase so it’ll take a while to topple, but they probably already know this and will squeeze everything out of it to the last drop.
It used to be a place I could turn to to get some real reviews, in sofar that it ruined google, and now I can’t trust any of Reddit’s content anymore because of things like the OP.

That’s a misnomer. The development is managed by Google. Degoogled means callbacks to Google are removed. That doesn’t mean Google isn’t still in the driver’s seat of its development.

I don’t. All chromium browsers are google’s. Some companies may add their own flair, but that doesn’t make them less google’s. It adds to the marketshare and makes it so people don’t target other browsers because of it.
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 1 month ago:
Rocket League had a native Linux version, but they also pulled that.

Does clarifying the years make it less true? It makes it more understandable. I’m not sure how you came to such a weird conclusion.

Non Google chromium browsers?
My friend, Google develops chromium.
- Comment on Amazon discovered a 'high volume' of CSAM in its AI training data but isn't saying where it came from 1 month ago:
Or innocent personal pictures of people photographing their kids without thinking of the implications. Dressing at the beach/pool, bath time as a toddler. People don’t always think it through. They get uploaded to a cloud service and then scraped for AI that way, is my guess.
