trying to come up with new places to shove AI

They are just trying to give portable freeware a boost

iPhone unlocked with Facebook opened in the safari browser (no meta apps installed, and the only two apps approved to user the microphone in the security settings are Teams and my Banking app for voice security prompt). We were watching Fast and the Furious on the TV in the loungeroom and we were noticing videos pop up on Facebook on the phone for Honda Civics, then Toyota Supras etc. We then started joking talking about KFC and beer as a test, and within 10 minutes we successfully started seeing ads for Beer, KFC. We then tried another when we started talking about Bryan Adams tickets, and sure enough, we got an ad to buy tickets to Bryan Adams. It would take about 10mins from talking about a topic to things about that topic to start appearing in the feed

I use Facebook for some hobby groups, and I only use Safari to view it… the other day my daughter and I were watching The Fast and the Furious movie and I started getting my feed full of all the cars from the movie… so we did some experiments saying words like KFC and beer while the screen was opened, and we started getting beer and KFC ads in the feed… i dont know if the app makes it worse, but it was certainly a bit of an eye opener

I always thought this is why the Facebooks and Googles of the world are hoovering up the data now

I have been using Jdownloader2 for years… I don’t know what the differences are, but might be an option for people who want something GUI based

Because Windows 11 is yet another painful transition for staff who are mostly IT illiterate folk, and it easier to leave things the way they are until necessary…

I thought I read that Intel said this was from messing with voltages? I have had plenty of these processors in the last couple of years and never experienced crashes, but I don’t overclock

Maybe they think they have the one up on Apple this year and want to lead rather than follow… I hope it is something exciting, even though I am an iPhone user. Any innovation is great though I am guessing it will be AI related

I eventually got the GPU passed through to the VM… it took about a day of following different guides. Then I tried the same thing on a container and it was about 3 mins work and it was in infinitely better experience with plex in a container instead of a vm

Sure, but it would be illogical to think that a company with seemingly unlimited resources would get fined, and then introduce new that didn’t exactly comply with what was required… I mean, I would think they are working with the EU to ensure it is within a millimeter of what they are allowed. It seems you just don’t like it.

You think a multi trillion dollar company is just winging it from a legal standpoint? Or do you think they have worked with the EU to develop the policy within a hair of what they are actually required to do?

I stumbled across this the other day…

As a shortcut to configuring it, you can go to the site (like Kagi) and if they have a text field to paste into (or a search field) you can generally right click on the field and select ‘add keyword for this search’… so say you add ‘kagi’ as a search term (in the cmdlet) in the browser address bar you would just type kagi <paste url> and hit enter

I haven’t tried the quest, but I will be interested to see the comparisons of picture quality and features. It seems expensive, but I can see there being a big market for something like this in a few years for people who might live alone and enjoy the minimalism of now having a massive TV. There would seem to be a tonne of people in the world who wouldn’t bat an eye at dropping $3,500 on a gadget.

I will wait for the budget version in a few years, but Plex would be rad

I think the point of contention is that Windows 10 works fine, there is no need to move to Windows 11 except that Microsoft has found new ways to monetise the OS through its data, so they are making Windows 10 end of life

Flatnotes for me. I haven’t tried many others, but it was perfect for what I needed. Markdown, writes plain text files so no database/easy to backup

I got a cheap 4 bay Terramaster off Amazon for $250 AUD… they are on special a few times a year including prime day and Black Friday. They are ok. I get about 95MB/s write to a raid 5 array

It says they are single use so they will stay on the lunar surface… I guess they just need to find a way to repurpose them into something useful… it would be cool if they could somehow expand into a moon station
