- Comment on Intel announced plans to start making GPUs, challenging NVIDIA's dominance 2 days ago:
“oh great, competition in a market with no competition. Horrible.”
Intel has already been making discrete GPUs for two generations and they are very cheap and aren’t the most performant but fantastic for the price.
- Comment on FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled 3 days ago:
The original comment said Google, instead of Bezos, I have no idea why they edited their comment to this. Maybe they are thinking of Microsoft, who recently handed over encryption keys, but they don’t make phones anymore, lol.
- Comment on FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled 3 days ago:
As another said, a Pixel with Graphene OS is likely the most secure device you can have, even against an Apple product. Cellebrite, the software a lot of companies use to break into these phones can’t get into a Pixel device before first unlock with Graphene OS. I believe a number of Apple products are the same thing as they can’t be accessed before first unlock or lockdown mode, but your data is more secure in the hands of an open source developer than a massive conglomerate.
Also, a notable feature of GrapheneOS is automatic reboots for any arbitrary time value you want, so your phone will always be in a “before first unlock” state if some steals it like the government

I disagree. A very high CRI warm white is just as good as daylight in the kitchen. And better way less ugly
- Comment on Exclusive: Amazon plans thousands more corporate job cuts next week 2 weeks ago:
Better benefits and pay than most other options in a lot of areas, especially warehouse workers in smaller towns.

I do this!
I use purelymail, it’s only $10 a year and self described as a “Cheap, no-nonsense email” i’ve been using this service for a little over a year with my own domain names and haven’t had any issues yet. I love it. They have an easy to follow tutorial for setting up your own domain names to work with their email
- Comment on Ring Cameras Join Flock and Amazon to Now Create Direct Data Access for ICE 2 weeks ago:
Unifi Ubiquiti products are the best option for completely local data hosting and camera services with really good “ai” detections all run locally, but they aren’t that cheap and you’ll need to buy one of their Unifi protect capable routers which is gonna be like $300 by itself.

Because this guy wants to kill people.
- Comment on I've never been in a situation where me having a gun would have made things bettter. 4 weeks ago:
100% I just posted a comment about how I feel like I’m more likely to kill myself than needing a gun for defense. Not that Id generally say that I’m suicidal.
- Comment on I've never been in a situation where me having a gun would have made things bettter. 4 weeks ago:
I can see situations where having one would be handy, especially in the US, but I think the likelihood of me blowing my brains out is greater than needing one to defend myself, so I don’t have one.

I get your point, but also if religious people were rational, they wouldn’t be religious. So the trust me bro thing works because it’s true lol
- Comment on Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux 1 month ago:
It is what it is. I do personally use LLMs because I recognize it is a tool that is actually good at some things, for instance, cursory research on something I’m working on that can get me a general idea of the knowledge I should be looking into to get the task done. Key aspect being I need to do all the follow up research from real sources to gather more data, and of course verify the assumptions from the LLM.
The problem is people taking the word of the actually incredibly cool (on a math level) next best token generator as the truth of God. Its dumb people doing dumb things, problem is dumb people imo.
- Comment on Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux 1 month ago:
Duh, there’s no evidence that it needs to happen, but it’s the hype thing to do right now for web browsers, and Firefox is already way behind. I know it may be hard to believe if you only browse Lemmy (like myself), but the average person actually likes these so-called “AI” tools or at least a significant amount of them do.
So Firefox needs to try and attract more normies from chrome, a lot of these “normal” people would be more likely to switch for that 'one killer ai feature".
Also imo we should all be ready to switch to Ladybird when the first version comes out, I know I’ll be running the Alpha. If you don’t know Ladybird is a brand new browser written from the ground up, it’s also open source.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxis Are Crashing More Than 12 Times as Frequently as Human Drivers 1 month ago:
Honestly, no clue. Probably not. You’re right, they have a big obstacle in the way of becoming profitable if they aren’t because they only operate in certain areas they have a lot of training data for.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxis Are Crashing More Than 12 Times as Frequently as Human Drivers 1 month ago:
Waymo self driving cars are very good imo, I live near a location where they operate and drive along side them daily on my way to work and have ridden in one twice. They are way better than human drives in my area.
- Comment on Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support 2 months ago:
They said they aren’t going to announce the price until closer to launch, so just chill. They only announced the product so they could get developers working on game support early.

- Comment on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang complains about stock price slide during all-hands meeting — says market did not appreciate company’s ‘incredible’ quarter 2 months ago:
I get your hate, but there would be significant turmoil in the world if the largest and most advanced GPU provider disappeared. So you’re sorta lying.
Scientific advances would slow and engineering tasks would also suffer from the lack of capability to run simulations. Eventually, AMD and Intel would pick up the slack and the world would start doing well again.

I mean the recovery images for the deck have been available and I’m pretty sure you can just install that on any x86 system.
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 2 months ago:
Valve engineers told GamersNexus that it should be priced comparably to the index, but they did not specify which kit or package of the index. So yeah, anywhere from 700 to 900 dollars probably.
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 2 months ago:
In their announcement video, they specifically called out that you can install whatever software you want and showed somebody working on CAD. So, yeah, definitely.
- Comment on The PP Police 2 months ago:
Looks like it to me, but do we really need to do this every time the slop comes up? Like it or not, this is going to start happening more and more and you can’t do anything about it.
- Comment on 3D design software for 3d printing? 2 months ago:
Plasticity, advertised as CAD for artists and made by a single dev. It isn’t free, but you own the copy you buy forever and get a year of updates after you buy the copy.
I ended up on this piece of software because it has really beautiful design and runs well on Linux without any compatibility layers. There’s a 30 day free trial if you want to check it out
- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 3 months ago:
I disagree with main post and agree with edit. I’ve only seen abuse material on Lemmy once and it was on an instance that didn’t have an automated moderation tool for image uploads and they promptly added that mitigation step after it happened

It’s very stupid to install a rootkit spyware on your computer to play a video game. Now that spyware is owned by the Saudi government too. Assuming you play on PC.
