My concern is stiffer cables are likely more likely to rip USB ports off the PCB. A lot of devices provide very little support to the USB port which is basically just hanging off pads on the PCB, so a stuff heavy cable could provide a lot m

It’s much cheaper to just buy your cables from Apple or LTT knowing they tested them on a 6 figure testing rig. I throw out every usb cable that comes bundled with devices because they are literal junk.

It’s because you are using the lowest use case for usb (like most people). Literally everything can manage 65w power only. All of these “usb sucks” posts are about using multiple 4k 120hz monitors dasychained while pumping 140w and a handfu

It's the cost of the current nvidia hardware used to run these models. Of course all bets are off if you are accounting for some future chip that doesn't exist yet which could cost less.

Would depend on the income levels, but yeah, buying a new phone these days is entirely a non essential luxury. An iphone easily lasts 7 years so the moment money is tight, it's a very easy choice to not buy a new one.

Outside of this website I've never met a person who buys a new phone every year. It's closer to every 3-4 years for most people.

It costs something like $300,000 for the hardware to run a model of that size. You'd pay that for a single model for 1-2 years? Not even the AI companies can justify that kind of spend which is why they keep extending the expected life

If the legal system declares the first thief’s theft not theft then all bets are off.

These new datacenters aren’t for powering social media. All this extra capacity is for slop generators actively making the world worse.

This is an investor scam and not a real proposal.

Pretty much, disrupting datacenter builds is one of the few ways people can fight back against evil tech billionaires.

I think a Linux phone probably appeals to the same kind of person who prefers real keys over digital ones.

I don't expect linux phones to catch up to ios for the mainstream, but I can see them working for me. I usually carry an actual camera with me so I don't care much about my phone one other than random utility shots / photos o

The unalive thing I think is mostly down to silent deranking rather than regular moderation. People know certain things cause your posts to be deranked by the algorithm but you can’t know exactly what they are or when it’s happened. Which h

As far as I can tell, Passkeys is just like ssh keys for normal people. But there's a lot of implementation details which get confused with the base specification. They can be tied to hardware, they can be stored on a secure zone that

Thread is fairly similar to Zigbee, just standardized and doesn't require brand specific hubs. You can actually control thread devices direct from an iphone with no hub at all. Wifi for anything but cameras is a mistake, it only exists

Someone paying hundreds for a good cover design is a signifier that a lot of effort went in to the book and the cover reflects that. An AI cover signifies that this is a quick rush out the door cash grab book that likely isn’t worth reading

I don’t want to have to go to a website and download every update manually. I want my saves synced between my PC and steam deck, I want achievements, I want to invite people from my friends list to games. There’s such a massive list of thin

>that synced passkeys should be secure in even in situations involving compromised clients? I think that is the idea actually. By using secure hardware features it is in theory possible to secure the passkeys even in the case of compromi

I had a click around Apple Passwords on macos and I could not find a way to move my passkeys to another app. I could only see a way to share them with other Apple Passwords users.

It’s not possible with any Denuvo game which will require you reactivate with a drm server every so often.
352.
by Gigachad 3mo ago
Depends. Steam is not DRM itself, you can open the game folder and copy the game to another computer and steam doesn’t care. The game often has its own DRM though which will stop you. GOG is different in that they ban DRM outright.

by Gigachad 3mo ago
Not really. They left games broken when they shut down Games for Windows Live.

They haven’t even made a Linux client yet. They are about 13 years behind steam

People also confuse “didn’t notice” with “didn’t confront me about”. People noticed, they just didn’t want cause a conflict over it.

In a blog, real images signify you spent a lot of time creating the post, it was very important to you, and you likely made sure the details in the text were accurate. While AI images in a blog signify low effort high volume posting where t

You can call it superficial, but I’m not reading your AI blog, I’m not eating at your restaurant with AI food pictures, and I’m not listening to your AI music. I’m quite happy without all the slop.

I have a friend who works in healthcare and he says patients now regularly pull out their phone and ask him to talk to their chatbot. Anything he says to them, they immediately repeat to ChatGPT and ask if it’s correct.
