lol yeah I'm going to stick to Apple.. As long as Apple cares about security, I'll continue to use their products. IDGAF about Tesla or X, quite frankly.
Musk banning Apple devices with how popular iPhones are to use twitter would hurt Musk more than it would hurt either Apple or OpenAI so it just sounds like a win win.
Lemmy seems to hate any new technology, I've noticed.
Personally I've found GPT to be extremely useful as a search engine replacement, especially the implementations that cite their sources. That way you can actually fact check instead of wondering if it's a hallucination. It helps me rely on reddit a lot less to find answers. I love that it's being integrated with Windows. Makes finding files a lot easier, even easier than using Everything search.
Lemmy also hates crypto. They call it a scam, despite the fact that it's now being traded on the stock market (BTC and soon to be ETH). I turned $12k into $36k, just by buying small amounts of BTC every paycheck since COVID started. I buy everything with crypto; there are Visa debit cards you can use to spend it. Crypto gave me enough financial wiggle room that I no longer worry about losing my job. Yet it's a "scam". Give me a fucking break.
Lemmy hates HDR. Every time I mention the reason why I haven't switched to Linux yet is because of poor HDR support in KDE, I get ridiculed. "Why would you want your monitor brighter and more colorful? Mine's bright and colorful enough", failing to realize just how much more realistic "brighter and more colorful" makes an image appear. With a proper 1000 nit OLED display, it feels more like looking out of a window than staring at a monitor. Like going from a black and white to color TV. One of those things that you can't go back on once you get used to it.
And although not a new technology, per se don't even get me started on how much Lemmy hates cars. But I feel like I've ranted on long enough so I'm just going to stop talking here before my inbox blows up.
GPT: Yes it is very usefull, but it got that usefull by being trained on data that user's would not accept if they knew about it.
Crypto is a scam, the only reason it hold any value is because other people belive it holds the value. The data that is mined is absolutely useless, it is litteraly a stribg of numbers in a very particular order that serves no other fuction other than to represent itself. Crypto is insanely power inefficient and is slow to transfer money.
HDR is comming, it takes time, yes, in the mean time, HDR is a nice to have, it is not a critical peice of technology, stop bragplaining about your nice monitor and just ignore the threads about why you have not switched yet.
Hating cars is not Lemmy specific, but a growing sentiment of younger generations fewling hopeless for their future when pollution doesn't stop, and public transport is a feaver dream for the younger generations in the US. Just block the fuck cars community and move on.
Even Samsung have practically given up on Tizen. In smartwatches, the plug has been pulled, and for smart TVs, it's not updated anymore, because they probably realized that it's a waste of effort
Is that even a battle worth fighting at this point?
I think they all know the safest option is to leverage Android’s ecosystem and add your own extras to it. Starting from scratch is like 90% chance of wasting lots of money and have no profit at all.
That’s why these massive projects aren’t usually started by companies, but by passionate individuals or orgs. They require a different incentive than the next quarter earnings.
Starting from scratch is a worthwhile investment, if you can carry it to completion. Samsung never do this, so it was a waste of time from the start. Admittedly, their Tizen watches were leaps ahead in performance, compared to the Android alternatives, but they completely gave up on attempting to improve any of them
In a series of posts on his social media platform X, Musk shared concerns about whether Apple and OpenAI will protect users’ information.
He called the software integration between the two companies “an unacceptable security violation,” and said Apple has “no clue what’s actually going on.”
He believes a heavily embedded AI integration on iOS with a 3rd party is a violation of security and privacy... because its not his 3rd party being integrated with.
Do it coward. Keep kicking that bitch down the relevance hill. I want to see that bird's mutilated carcass at your feet so you can look stupid(er) and blame somebody else some more.
