What happened to the Jony Ive camera thing?

[–] artyom@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

It wasn't dumb and they didn't forget. The frog has simply been sufficiently boiled. Meta sold millions of these. The people complaining are a very small minority.

I think the fact that Telegram is constantly in legal hot water indicates that it's not.

I realize we don't like Telegram but we shouldn't be supporting exploiting control over DNS in pursuit of surveillance.

Its not supposed to solve anything, it's just so they can pretend like they are, while spying on their consituents. Its a win/win for policiticians, really.

Good luck telling an American company that they have to block requests from American VPN servers...

One of the insanely powerful uses of AI is just parsing large amounts of data and looking for patterns. However it still requires human oversight and may overlook patterns also. I think this is the problem with AI in general: The vast majority of people can't be trusted to verify the results. Scientists are extremely thorough in general so that's probably fine.

I had a family member arguing with me about a particular piece of law that I happened to be very familiar with. They are actually an attorney. And they flaunted that as if it made them right. The problem is they didn't even actually review the law, they just typed it into chat GPT. So they were breaking the law based on advice from a chat bot.

tl;dr, they waited for the opposition to go on holiday and then pushed through a special resolution that required them to vote no in order to not pass. It's shady as fuck.

Back in my day we called this malware

Umm that intel processor is the weakest of the bunch

Brother, what Intel processor are you talking about? They sell the latest gen of processors, which are the best you can buy.

guarantee you that they will be out of business within 5 years.

LOL based on what? They sell more computers than they can produce.

you literally can get an equivalent laptop from another manufacturer with new RAM, SSD and the screen, battery and everything else, and still use the old laptop

For a lot more money, yes. I don't think you get it. You can just upgrade the motherboard. You don't need to replace anything else. You can upgrade the display, you can upgrade the RAM, you can actually repair the battery, the keyboard, the trackpad, etc. etc.

the alternative would be soldered on RAM

...nope? Not correct. They can continue using regular old SODIMM RAM like they already are in the FW13. Don't know where you're getting this from.

These seem like mostly familiarity issues, where Windows issues are malicious in nature.
