You need to provide actual evidence that it is.

How do you expect me, or anyone else, to provide you with the inner working details of Google’s surreptitiously closed-as-fuck custom SoCs? That’s the entire basis of the problem, it’s closed-as-fuck and there is nothing that you or I or anyone else can do to verify that it isn’t malicious.

At this point, you have to choose whether or not to trust the manufacturer. Given that the manufacturer is the most notoriously data-hungry surveillance corporation in the history of the entire world, I choose not to trust them. I wouldn’t trust them, even if they were to claim not to spy on us with these phones. (Incidentally, that is not something they claim.)

Creepy. Fixed link: https://lemmy.world/post/27344091

Graphene is the biggest joke of them all. Only works on Google hardware? lmao

You’re absolutely right! Dreamcast and Saturn make a very good point: The major players are dragging their feet way longer than is warranted.

Hi, are you able to share more about the power efficiencies of each type of sensor? Some cursory browsing of TI datasheets gives me the impression that both types use a similar amount of power. I may be missing some context, though.

I did also find this cool report there. Could be pertinent, although from what I understand of the technology I don’t see why you couldn’t use the same techniques to save power with a digipot.

It would be, if that were the case.

This article is not alledging a systematic pattern of stick drift in the Switch 2, like there was with the Switch. It isn’t even saying that so much as a single case of stick drift has been found.

What it’s saying is that the Switch 2 still uses potentiometers, a technology which can be susceptible to stick drift. You know, like every single other major console ever launched. So, as of now, we have no particular reason to believe that the Switch 2 will drift worse than the PS5 or any other system.

That said, all the major players are dragging their feet a bit longer on Hall effect sticks a little bit longer than is warranted, Nintendo included.

You are asking for 1TB of RAM. Keying it to M.2 wouldn’t make it any cheaper or better than keying it to regular DDR5. I don’t think that even just a tenth of that would physically fit onto an NVMe drive, even if someone wanted it to.

Put in that context, do you begin to see now why that isn’t a thing that exists?

Me too! I upgraded to Fedora Linux. It’s amazing how everything just works, even all the games I play.

Your experience is not invalid, but It’s fucked up that you’re giving Windows credit for “just working” when Windows doesn’t even try to support dual booting. In fact the reason Linux is having so much trouble is because it has to tiptoe so that Windows doesn’t break.

If you don’t like Gnome or Mint Cinnamon, why not try KDE? Something like Kubuntu, perhaps? I use Fedora KDE myself.

Because it’s actually a quotation.

I know this is the internet, but quotation marks weren’t always just meant to denote insincerity…

Yep. Innocent until proven guilty, and not a single one of them was so much as indicted, much less charged or convicted. Blatant disregard for the constitution as well as human rights, everyone all the way up the chain of command needs to be prosecuted for this.

That is a big issue, but excessive power consumption isn’t intrinsic to AI. You can run a reasonably good AI on your home computer.

The AI companies don’t seem concerned about the diminishing returns, though, and will happily spend 1000% more power to gain that last 10% better intelligence. In a competitive market why wouldn’t they, when power is so cheap.

It can’t be just that, right? There are loads of successful products that any given person only ever buys once.

How on Earth did they manage to fuck this up?

They were the leading firm in a field where having the most data makes yours the most accurate tests. Their product sold for hundreds of dollars a pop, with practically zero marginal costs to run the tests. And they were really popular, selling like hotcakes.

It’s insane just how astoundingly incompetent upper management can be sometimes.

When you donate to a software project, you’re not giving money to some inanimate concept. You’re giving it to the developers, the “random people associated with it.”

Kling’s actions are harmful, and contribute to an open source environment less welcoming to ~4 billion people. I don’t want to reward that. Unless you do, you would be better off putting your support elsewhere, too.

It’s textbook misogyny.

No, it is not.

Yes, it is.

It’s sexist when you assume someone is a man because they’re a doctor. It’s sexist when you assume someone is a woman because they’re a nurse. And it’s sexist when you assume someone is a man because they’re an OS developer.

When you continue insisting that the OS developer be a man, even though it’s been clarified to you that they just as well may not be, that’s when your behavior crosses the line to misogynistic.

It isn’t a fucking “convention” to push women down by insinuating they’re not welcome in your profession, and it’s not a “new convention” to fucking avoid doing that.

Annoying that you’re being downvoted, you are absolutely correct. We should not support Ladybird as long as Andreas is involved.

Follow the link. He denied a pull request for gender neutral language in documentation, calling it “personal politics.” https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/6814#issuecomment-830793992

In other words, Andreas insists the OS developer be referred to as “he/him” instead of not assuming gender. Not only that, he’s doubling down. It’s textbook misogyny. Fuck him.

People didn’t go to Bluesky because of an informed choice based on features or security. People went to Bluesky because that’s where everyone they want to follow went.

If your rents doubled while your population increase was only 4%, it sounds like immigration wasn’t the issue, now was it?

Blaming poor people for the housing bubble is like blaming a fish for the rain. Look up.
