Just yet another proof, that the more 0's you have in your valuation, the less the laws apply to you

dinckelman ,

For quite a long time now, it's been the case that if your vendor makes this hard as is, a carrier on top of that will make it considerably worse. As an example, take a look at older Samsung devices, that all needed special-tailored roms for each carrier variant

dinckelman ,

I'm by no means a musician, let alone a professional one, but this part does admittedly suck. The actual sound backend works phenomenally well, especially when combining Pipewire and JACK for audio production, however using Windows-native VST/VST3 plugins is a horrible experience. A lot of mine are either really laggy, or just don't load properly at all

dinckelman ,

Quite a shame that the vast majority of people this video is targeted at will just not care. Especially in the US, or the UAE, if your Apple device breaks, you just get another Apple device, because it's a status symbol.

On the topic of Marques though - I haven't watched any of his stuff in quite a while, after I've had an eye-opened moment from his content. He would scald and roast companies that make mistakes, and make bad choices, but when Apple, or lets say Tesla, make the same mistake, he lets them off the hook. That's not unbiased journalism at all.

dinckelman ,

Being honest isn't where the money is. Not reaching out towards that takes willpower, and strong principles

dinckelman ,

OBS is practically the only sensible choice. Some people still use xsplit, for whichever reason, but good for them

dinckelman ,

I wish they spent their time fixing bugs, rather than implementing this bullshit

dinckelman ,

You will never achieve long-term relevance, by chasing immediately available buzzwords

dinckelman ,

Can you reminds us what the current state of NFTs is? Or most crypto? Web3 tech? This is next.

Of course Nvidia are the highest-valued company. They capitalized on idiots misusing the technology, until it created issues in society, for personal gain.

I strongly believe that generative AI is catastrophically misused in the vast majority of its applications, so in my eyes, adding gpt-based AI to the browser is largely a wasted effort

dinckelman ,

I chose those examples, because that's what's been heavily marketed recently, and it all either fundamentally failed, ended up being a scam, or both.

In contrast:

  • devops is software automation practices...?
  • edge computing is on-call load balancing? It's horrendously expensive though, so i'll give them time to figure it out
  • IoT, admittedly, is largely oversold, but even then, there were a ton of products on the market that absolutely outlived all 3 of the examples i've given, combined. HomeAssistant+Zigbee home automation is awesome. A raspberryPi is "iot". Your smartwatch is "iot".

There's a difference between cherry-picking, and refusing to accept that something is a scam. Crypto ended up begging for government regulation, when the original intention was to move away from it. NFTs are a pump-and-dump ponzi scheme. web3 literally doesn't mean anything

dinckelman ,

We literally agree with each other, and yet you're still arguing. The reason why it's a scam, is because people sell it like some kind of a godsend, when it's literally not used in the way it is intended to be used. When it is, that's great. When it's trained properly, that's even better. But that's not the reality

US Record Labels Sue AI Music Generators Suno and Udio for Copyright Infringement ( www.wired.com )

The music industry has officially declared war on Suno and Udio, two of the most prominent AI music generators. A group of music labels including Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, and Sony Music Group has filed lawsuits in US federal court on Monday morning alleging copyright infringement on a “massive scale.”...

dinckelman ,

So exploiting artists is fine, but when the labels get scammed, that’s where they draw the line?

dinckelman ,

How convenient, that this would never happen, because the label leeched them dry

dinckelman ,

There should really be a law, requiring a certain list of mechanical things to exist on the car. So far, it's only the emergency turn signals, and what, the mirrors? The door handles absolutely need to be on that list

dinckelman ,

What are they going to sell then? More than half of their shops are poor quality merch, and own brand peripherals

dinckelman ,

So that's 131$, for what extremely likely is a rebranded popular distribution, with what very likely is a rebrand of Firefox

dinckelman ,

Arch has been the least problematic distribution for me, by far. Anything that was ever broken was a result of me breaking it, which was also subsequently fixed by me, because people documented just about everything in the wiki by now.

One of my 3 installations is currently just under 8 years old. It’s only needed manual intervention, as a result of a regular update, like 3 times total

dinckelman ,

It's very easy for them to twist the history. Losing PWA would have really sucked. I use those quite extensively, even if they aren't perfect

dinckelman ,

Don't interact with these people. He's clearly a moron, purposefully using provocative slurs

dinckelman ,

Are they trying to pull an infinite money glitch with the child support, or what's going on here

dinckelman ,

Isn't it funny? He's told everyone to fuck off, and they did. But now he's realizing that you can't be a cunt, while running a company, that's already sinking, so he's begging them to come back

dinckelman ,

My entire city currently has 30 charging ports in total, half of which are either in private locations, malls, paid parking, or singular charging station spots in obscure places.

I’m not opposed to EVs at all, but the infrastructure is just not there. Not to mention the abysmal price of these

dinckelman ,

Money talks. They can continue making these anti-competitive moves indefinitely, while the regulators allow it. Just look at a fine that Amazon got hit with this week. It's not even a rounding error for them, but would put another business into the grave instantly.

When your brand is worth 3 trillion doll hairs, some minuscule fine won't even put a dent into your plans

dinckelman ,

Is it immoral to harm a demographic, that consistently harms everyone else?

dinckelman ,

The price immediately put this product into the grave. They should take out all the useless features like the eye passthrough, or the bizarre face scanning, if it’ll only ever be used for calls. If this were to be used in a gaming scenario, sort of like what the PSVR2 does, that’d be a whole different conversation

dinckelman ,

Outside of the Firefox explicit sync bug, this has been absolutely excellent during the beta

dinckelman ,

Confirmed to be a firefox implementation bug, still not fixed

dinckelman ,

Unfortunately anything open will cost extra, just because of the nature of it. Not to mention the colossal scale of how much product DJI ship, to cut costs somewhere

dinckelman ,

I’ve had a short period, where i had to use it during uni, and it was honestly a pretty solid experience. Unfortunately i can’t say that about MATLAB, as that was a nightmare in every way imaginable

dinckelman ,

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

dinckelman ,

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

dinckelman ,

I get what they're trying to say, but they also carefully omit very important details. There are a lot of things that can be unbelievably bad for you, but essential in moderation. This is really no different. If you aggressively jerk off 15 times a day, obviously you are completely screwing yourself in multiple ways, but in moderation, it's good for your body

dinckelman ,

Are the dlcs worth getting? I only have Rise and Fall. With the current bundle, I could snag the rest of them, for the price of New Frontiers alone. I can't really say i'm huge into Civ, or knowledgeable about individual leaders though

dinckelman ,

Ended up buying everything. Comes down to 19 Euro for just about everything, minus the game, and the dlc i already owned, so if I end up playing with friends, it's not a bad deal at all

A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back ( www.windowscentral.com )

It's a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

dinckelman ,

A lot of people would have huge bursts of negativity about this, but at the same time remain stubborn enough to not even consider evaluating alternatives. Microsoft and Apple spent decades making sure this would work

dinckelman ,

My mom only really browses the web, writes emails, and edits and occasional document. I've given her my old XPS 9350, with Fedora installed on it, and she's been very happy with it. Keeps saying that everything just makes sense, and when she needs something, it's easy to find. She's far from tech savvy, but not completely clueless either

dinckelman ,

Maybe they can consider redesigning their monetization strategy, and figuring out the endless licensing issues, so people actually have something to watch, for the money they spend. It's either that, or piracy

dinckelman ,

If you frequently watch this kind of stuff, your options are to either shuffle subs between 8 different platforms, or just get what you want from alternate sources. It's always a service issue

dinckelman ,

And that’s fine. These don’t have to come out exactly every year. Sometimes it’s good to spend a bit extra time for r&d

dinckelman ,

The enshittification continues

dinckelman ,

So much to unpack in the trailer. Not to mention that they’re intentionally trying to gaslight us with possible theories. Really well done. Now we just gotta see if the content lives up to the expectations

dinckelman ,

I would have said the same if loading any youtube page didn’t take literally like 15 seconds

dinckelman ,

If anything, it should be optional for personal use, and mandatory for enterprise. Not that they would come to this conclusion either way, granted that half of the workforce is busy putting ads into the start menu, and the other half are probably not doing any work whatsoever

dinckelman ,

They clearly don’t want you to know that, granted that they’ve conveniently renamed their company, and announced they don’t want anything to do with crypto, right before the Rabbit announcement went live

dinckelman ,

Being able to properly evaluate the market is a whole job, and they failed at it. No company deserves to unconditionally exist, let alone forever

dinckelman ,

This is the same as Ben Shapiro telling people to sell their houses once Florida goes under water from a climate crisis. To who? Neptune?

dinckelman ,

You’re really going to tell us that you’ve never done something you parents told you not to?
