Wait, they used raw-unedited video as a source? Are they mad! (Pun intended)

Lots of systems like Jellyfin/Emby/Plex etc will pull subtitles from a online repo. And yeah, exactly what you say will happen a lot of the time, and it's near imposable to work out which ones are correct. I watched an Englis

That's the law in most countries.

Just because people do buy the product the legitimate way, and provide the creators with revenue, doesn't negate that /you/ are committing a theft. A loss of a sale, is still a loss of a sale. It's vastly different to &#

Lest we forget that they forced the U2 album onto devices, then after backlash removed it. But apparently it still syncs itself on some devices to this day

>but the current media pricing is too expensive (in a myriad of ways) for the value it's providing. I'd argue that media is substantially better value today, than it ever was back in the day. You pay now the price of a single D

Eh? The whole "scene" is full of shitty re-encodes of video, with the audio or video spliced from another source. There's a whole cottage industry of squeezing content into smaller sizes.

Because "cash" isn't actually real, it's entirely a form of completion of a contract. The same contract that you could agree to complete by trading chickens, or bottles of bath water.

>To a person who spent their life in Britain this sounds absurd because the British government has - true to form - been trying to wipe cash out for many years to improve surveillance. Oh come of Facebook for christ sake. Absolute hogwas

Even "minimum charge on card" is against VISA/MC rules. But it's still around.

Had a conversation with the landlord of my local pub a few years back, he said he'd go "Card Only" if it wasn't for the handful of patrons that refuse to use card, couple of which are the "Cash is King" Faceboo

Still lots of builders/tradies in the UK who do "for cash". Also lots of takeaways, they'll be on JustEat/Uber Eats and cash-only in store which is a PITA. My local chippy is cash only and no-delivery. I can't

That's just a disaster planning POV. If you've ever been in a shop where the EPOS goes down, you'll know how chaotic it is. And that's just a macro scale.

FYI, handling cash has fees to "third parties" too. In a lot of cases it's a lot higher than just taking card.

Google has been diabolical with forming teams to develop a product, then disbanding the team, and then moonlighting the product right after deployment. cries in Google Glass Wild that Meta has that product now decades later, which isn&#x2

Some of the stuff that turns up on Googlebot, you really have to think "where on earth did you find that? Absolutely nobody, nowhere had a hyperlink to that"

Their transcribing and summarisation of Google Meetings is pretty good. I have a boss who loves to rattle on for ages, and it gives a breakdown of what on earth he was on about

It will also just sit there "thinking" for ages, if whatever you are doing requires an input (like sudo) Sometimes you have to tab across and give it a PW, but it seemingly is incapable of parsing that, and just asking. Kiro, what

Apple played a blinder by calling it "Apple Intelligence". Well done lads

I tried using Gemini CLI to sort some code issues for me, ran out of tokens mid-way through, even though I have Gemini Pro. Turns out licensing is separate for "code" and "pro"...

We use Kiro (AWS) and Gemini (Google) at work. Kiro is of course really good to back into AWS stuff, it knows more about AWS than Amazon themselves! Gemini is really good at understanding my inane ramble and mis-spelling

Yeah but LLM's don't offer you an advert. "You tried to find a recipe for cupcakes, well all I can offer you is an advert on kitchen appliances"

How good is YT's data though? Have you seen their Auto Caption? It's utterly incapable of understanding speech. Auto Dubbing on the other hand is incredible, translating Russian/Ukranian speech with different voices and accen

Android has never been all that efficient, even from it's first release. It used a Java VM in the early days!

Seeing as you're not changing the bootloader, I'd say no. You could probably have the bootloader just load the kernel from the SD and then everything from the local storage

I had Google Gemini de-tuya and flash a smart bulb for me. It managed at first, but the bulb didn't light, it couldn't work out the GPIO/IC it was using. So left it plugging away, and now it's bricked Yay

Of course it only knows stuff, that it knows. Like in the repo, the author links to the already published documentation on the chip. And that's 90% of the problem, lots of these cheap devices are using undocumented hardware.

One of the various reasons Debian apt still uses HTTP is to avoid SSL Timing errors like that
