ftp , in We Need to Talk About the State of Calendar Software on Desktop

Mac calendar isn't a disaster?!

News to me. It's easier and less fuckery to open a terminal and type cal -3 than to use their shit

VirtualOdour , in Microsoft’s AI boss thinks it’s perfectly OK to steal content if it’s on the open web

He's right, information wants to be free. Don't support stronger copyright just to spite people it'll benefit

In fact just the other day information wanted a ham sandwhich before I set it free so it could find more people not on an empty stomach :/

Pacmanlives , in Microsoft’s AI boss thinks it’s perfectly OK to steal content if it’s on the open web

Perfect I will actually just start putting copyrights statements both on my site and in the source code. Ughhhh!!! But fine if you wanna go down this rabbit hole LFG bitch!!!!

autotldr Bot , in Apple could announce a Google Gemini deal this fall

This is the best summary I could come up with:


If you’re disappointed that the only AI model that will integrate with Apple devices so far will be ChatGPT, it sounds like you won’t have to wait long for that to change.

Apple will announce “at least” one other deal — to add Google Gemini, too — this fall, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in his Power On newsletter today.

Anthropic has been mixed up in these rumors as well, and Gurman also suggests Apple could announce a deal with that company at some point, if not this fall.

Beyond chatbot integration lies Apple Intelligence, which is only supposed to emerge, initially, in beta form this fall.

Apple reportedly wants to make AI an avenue for direct profits, not just as a set of features aimed at moving hardware products.

As part of that, Gurman suggests that the company “could eventually” roll out subscription-only Apple Intelligence features.

ArchRecord , in Framework Laptop 16, six months later

I haven't had a single issue with crashes, noise, heat, display, etc.

The positioning/gaps of the spacers are extremely tiny, and barely noticeable, and the only issue I've had so far has been my laptop not turning off fully when I shut it down, but that's fixed by just holding down the power button.

Oh, and I'm running an unsupported linux distro, (NixOS) so it's not like I'm starting from any advantaged position in terms of software integration.

Performance is great, cooling is great, games run well and it boots up quickly. Nothing much else to say other than it's a good laptop.

PoopMonster , in EVs still have major quality problems, and it’s mostly about the software

I own a Mach e. Seeing Ford that high is terrifying to think how bad it can get because as high as Ford is on that list, it sucks pretty bad.

anticurrent , in NASA and Boeing say Starliner astronauts ‘are not stranded,’ but will be on the ISS for a few more weeks

will there be hunger games at the ISS if supplies run thin ?

anticurrent , in Sony will cut around 250 jobs from the recordable media business manufacturing hub and will gradually cease production of optical discs, including Blu-ray discs.

thin laptops and LED Disco Cases killed CD-readers anyways. it's a shame to loose a cheap way of making media archives, but it is what it is.

And yet it illustrates his point so poignantly!

themurphy , in New technical framework for the European Digital Identity Wallet (eIDAS) reveals severe shortcomings, threatening user privacy and contradicting the regulation's intent, rights group says

We have this in Denmark, and when it works, you'll all love it.

It's soooo easy to use, and it's also a very secure way it's implemented, because we have 2FA for everything important.

unexposedhazard ,

2FA doesnt prevent the institutions, that you use it with, from collecting your data tho.

themurphy ,

You do. They can only collect data you allow.

Are you familiar with the Danish system tho?

unexposedhazard ,

Im not, but the german one works the same. This doesnt change what i said tho, because if you are only allowed to use something by offering that information then its not really given "freely".

I think most of us moved on to X86 by now.

Price of ARM chips has gone up. Price of x86 has come down. X86 comes with a small energy penalty for a huge boost in speed. Also just a more versatile architecture, since most servers run x86.

henfredemars ,

I love ARM so much compared to x86, but speaking from a low-cost consumer server perspective, x86 is a great value, and it comes with a no compromises on software compatibility.

sploosh ,

That's the biggest thing. apt install xyz works on my N100 based box every time I expect it will, but it was always a crapshoot on a Pi. If you don't need GPIO you don't need a Pi.

Lost_My_Mind ,

Could you install older windows systems on a single board x86? Like maybe xp? Or windows 7?

Tywele ,
@Tywele@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Why would you want to?

Lost_My_Mind ,

Because I don't like Windows 10, and Windows 11 seems like a privacy nightmare.

Tywele ,
@Tywele@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

And Windows XP and 7 are a security nightmare without any support.

Lost_My_Mind ,

My main PC is Windows 7. About 10 years ago I remember I had to do something with the firewall. I remember turning it off. I legit do not remember if I turned it back on.

accideath ,

I really hope you’re joking because that’s a security nightmare.

accideath ,

Not too long until Windows 10 joins the list and that’s gonna be a real nightmare because there are so many PCs still running Windows 10 that run perfectly fine but aren’t "capable" or running Windows 11. People won’t just throw away their PCs and they can’t upgrade to 11. Sure, some will try Linux but too many won’t and they’ll be easy targets.

ARM boards are just a pain to use right now. There's always some stupid quirk or driver problem and that's if you even manage to find an up to date image for your chosen OS that works (because I can just about guarantee the 'generic ARM' one won't). Feels like every few months someone announces something that'll make all these problems go away yet here we are.

EddoWagt ,

I find it interesting, manufacturers of laptops and maybe even desktops, are looking to switch to arm after decades of x86.

And home servers, which have run on arm for years, are now switching to x86

stoy ,

What is the difference between x86 and X86?

Redex68 ,

The fact that X86 came after a full stop so his phone auto capitalised it.

stoy ,

I see I got confused as he capitalized the X in the middle of the first sentence as well and thought I had missed something

Redex68 ,

Didn't even see that one. Probably just a missclick.

stoy ,

That is probably it, I just wanted to check if there was something new happening

helenslunch ,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Autocorrect 😛

filister ,

Don't forget also the app support, a lot more apps support x86, than ARM.

That's what I was referring to about versatility

    I don’t think the car brand comparison is a great one. While I get your point, the purpose of using different car brand names is not for confusion but actually to reduce confusion — to clarify which products are targeting a luxury market.

    For a counter example, consider how Samsung sells premium and cheap smart phones. The cheap smart phones give Samsung a bad name which might be associated with the higher end offering in the eyes of a consumer.

    It’s not fair to compare to Toyota to Lexus because a Lexus is targeting a different customer and making different trade-offs in their product, even though it’s the same company.

    The recent Pi chips are heavily modified. They’re becoming less and less like their TV tuner roots. I wouldn’t exactly call it a failed product line either. I thought that IP went into numerous devices.

    You can get a Ryzen minipc for under $200 now.

    For this price, just get an Intel NUC (one with like an i5 or better). They're cheaper than this is on ebay.

    They might not have 32GB of memory, but I'm honestly not sure why you'd need that much for a small PC like this.

    PlasticExistence ,

    Running multiple virtual machines might be one use for all that RAM. I completely agree about going with a NUC (or similar x86-64) unless power consumption is a concern. I stopped buying SBCs once Intel platforms started competing on the low end.

    I really don't see the issue. If the work account uses Google or Microsoft I use their respective web apps and export an ICS link to see the blocked slots in my own personal calendar.

    For my own personal calendar I use CalDAV, which is widely supported, and an app that can import ICS links. (Self-hosted Radicale server and the Calengoo app for mobile and desktop, for the curious.)
