- Comment on Apple Gave Governments Data on Thousands of Push Notifications 1 week ago:
I have these stupid clickbait titles aimed at making the company out to be the bad guy, when the truth is that the government “requested” (read: ordered) them to hand over the data.
- Comment on Self-hosting your own media considered harmful according to YouTube 1 week ago:
Wouldn’t surprise me if they started cracking down on anything regarding XBMC/Kodi/LibreElec/Plex/etc because let’s be real here - almost 100% of the time it’s done to serve up pirated media. Plex are trying to make a bit of plausible deniability by hosting their own media for users, but everyone knows why you set these things up.
If they are, that’s just one more shitty thing Google are doing that should hopefully make people rethink using YouTube, and hopefully a competitor can gain some ground.
If it was just some stupid rogue employees decision to give him this strike, well again I hope it makes people rethink using YouTube and Google things.
- Comment on The Gmail app will now create AI summaries whether you want them or not 2 weeks ago:
How did you get that from what I said?
If you don’t trust it you can still read the emails. If you do, you don’t have to read the emails. If want to confirm what it does say a few times until you can decide if you trust it or not, you can do that.
- Comment on The Gmail app will now create AI summaries whether you want them or not 2 weeks ago:
Google “read” your emails and feed them into their AI regardless, always have. They don’t need your “consent” to add features or make UI changes.
I’m assuming you actually mean it should’ve been off by default?
- Comment on The Gmail app will now create AI summaries whether you want them or not 2 weeks ago:
I think a summary of an email is going to be right more like 9.5/10 times.
- Comment on The Gmail app will now create AI summaries whether you want them or not 2 weeks ago:
If only you could still see the actual emails……
Oh wait, you can!
- Comment on The Gmail app will now create AI summaries whether you want them or not 2 weeks ago:
Lack of consent for what?
- Comment on The Gmail app will now create AI summaries whether you want them or not 2 weeks ago:
Bit more context that is needed:
The automatic summaries will appear for all paid Workspace accounts, as well as individual accounts with Google AI Premium subscriptions.
Not for normal Gmail users, and also not for every email - only larger multi-reply ones.
I dunno, seems like an ok feature to me.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start Menu Revealed as Resource-Heavy React Native App, Sparks Performance Concerns 2 weeks ago:
Imagine a galaxy z Fold but with what looks and behaves like Windows when you use the internal screen, or a Galaxy Ultra that when using Dex on a monitor looks exactly like Windows 11.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start Menu Revealed as Resource-Heavy React Native App, Sparks Performance Concerns 2 weeks ago:
Yep, just a matter of time if you’ve been paying attention.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start Menu Revealed as Resource-Heavy React Native App, Sparks Performance Concerns 2 weeks ago:
To use it on other OS’s, like Android.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start Menu Revealed as Resource-Heavy React Native App, Sparks Performance Concerns 2 weeks ago:
What a strange thing to say lol.
I was pointing out that you asked why they would do something while answering why they would do something straight after.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start Menu Revealed as Resource-Heavy React Native App, Sparks Performance Concerns 2 weeks ago:
Why would they ever do such a thing?
Hmm I wonder why…
The main point of React Native is to make an application cross-platform
Oh so you know? Why are you wondering then?
- Comment on Tinder tests letting users set a 'height preference' 2 weeks ago:
Weight preference next then I guess? crickets
- Comment on Nvidia ain't done with x86 as it taps Intel Xeons to babysit GPUs 3 weeks ago:
Some of this stuff is above my current knowledge of AI hardware, so maybe I missed it, but this didn’t really explain why x86 is better suited for this application? Is it just because chips already exist that do this very specific thing that they need them to do?
- Comment on VO3 is extremely fucking scary. 3 weeks ago:
That’s not true. People, like you and I, would just be able to make movies and tv shows etc now.
- Comment on VO3 is extremely fucking scary. 3 weeks ago:
Eh, why should I care who made a movie if I enjoyed it?
- Comment on VO3 is extremely fucking scary. 3 weeks ago:
If it leads to more and better movies then honestly that doesn’t bother me. With every big evolution of a market there are jobs that become no longer necessary, that’s just how the world works. Sucks to be one of the people in those industries/markets, but if they’re no longer needed…
The first thing that went through my mind when seeing it was “holy cow, this is going to lead to so many amazing indie movies and shows!”.
- Comment on FTC drops case over Microsoft's $69 billion Activision Blizzard deal 3 weeks ago:
😆 This reads like they’re choosing to drop it because they want to focus on other things, when the reality is that just the other day they lost their appeal to have it blocked lol.
Lina Khan turned the FTC into an absolute joke, and they’re going to have a hard time undoing all the damage she did. They never should have even attempted to block this acquisition.
- Comment on Bluesky will begin verifying ‘notable’ users 3 weeks ago:
The “checkmark wars” begin. People using it as a sign of importance etc and as a way to dismiss others opinions.
Bluesky just doing their best to get straight back to pre-elon left-wing-echo-chamber Twitter. They learned nothing.
