- Comment on Winamp has announced that it is opening up its source code to enable collaborative development of its legendary player for Windows 2 days ago:
Never heard of anything on the playlist before and I doubt I would have really stumbled on it normally because it’s not the style I normally seek out but so far it all slaps. How is it they’re allowed to include this stuff on their website?
- Comment on If a universal basic income started today with the stipulation that you had to put 40 hrs/wk towards making the world a better place or solving societal problems, how would you spend your time? 3 weeks ago:
Arguing with people on lemmy, people are wrong and the internet and the world totally needs my opinions to correct them.
- Comment on I bought frozen BBQ eel and the best before date says LJ349. What does this mean? 5 weeks ago:
He was a buay man with all the salad and calendar making and had no time to just wait around for a kid to come out whenever they felt like it.
- Comment on She's already got the booty, so she probably doesn't need more crew members. 5 weeks ago:
Have you seen this a lot?
- Comment on YouTube is testing a new design that you'll probably hate instantly 5 weeks ago:
Doesn’t sound particularly bothersome. It does leave a little less room for comments which can be pretty dense text especially compared to video thumbnails that.don’t need as much room really but at least you can read and scroll at the same time as watch.

Is any of that information centralised anywhere? I still have and love my old dumb TV, but I want to be prepared for when I am inevitably dragged in to the “smart” era.
- Comment on The next Cortana: Copilot on Windows is no reason to buy a new PC 1 month ago:
Ugh so even less reason to think it’s worth anything.
- Comment on The next Cortana: Copilot on Windows is no reason to buy a new PC 1 month ago:
The article is about the fact that the new generation of windows PC’s using an intel CPU with a Neural Processing Unit which windows will use for local processing of Windows Copilot. The author thinks this is not reason enough to buy a computer with this capability.
- Comment on The next Cortana: Copilot on Windows is no reason to buy a new PC 1 month ago:
While it sounds pretty useless, I do feel vastly more comfortable with the idea of making use of an AI assistant if it’s locally processed. I do try not to just dismiss everything new like a Luddite. That said, so far, despite all the press and attention I haven’t personally found a single use for any of the recent crop of products.and services in the past 3-4 years branded as AI. If however new use cases popup and it becomes a part of our lives in ways we didn’t expect but then can’t live without, I’d very much appreciate it running on my own metal.

It would be meaningless, were it not for the context of the question it is answering. All of the electrical energy consumed is being turned in to heat in all those cases making it indeed possible to make a 100% efficient heater using electricity as was asked. The fact that that is orthogonal to the purpose of the machines is only relevant in as much as that’s why they were chosen as illustrative examples, showing that even when you’re not trying to, you end up making 100% efficient space heaters from electrical devices.
- Comment on the meaning was *right there* dude 3 months ago:
Oh it’s a Turkey. I couldn’t figure out if it was a map of somewhere or a silhouette of some broccoli.
- Comment on Does Harry Potter only know fifth grade math? 3 months ago:
I have often suspected that that’s exactly what it is, there’s even clues of a genetic basis. How such a force can somehow be responsive to specific language is hard to imagine but evidently it can.
- Comment on Adblock: Google did not slow down and lag YouTube performance with ad blocker on - Neowin 3 months ago:
I had forgotten about this so evidently it has stopped, that said I have only ever used ublock origin and it was happening to me, with that on Firefox so I don’t know about this theory that it’s just that one particular adblocker.
I find it hard to let go of the idea that Google was doing this, but then again I suppose the fact that it isn’t now would suggest they weren’t behind it in the first place since the supposed motive for it was to push people to Chrome and if you just stopped doing this after like a month tops then it wouldn’t be a particularly effective strategy.
