Is OpenCV still owned by Intel, or dependent by them (funding, engineers, etc)? There are many good distros out there, but to my knowledge OpenCV has no other FOSS alternative on par with it.

Having one of grandparents being part of the resistance and the other one helping it covertly, then spending a lot of time talking with them, something new generations miss a lot, counts however. This made me later extremely biased, of cour

All phones eventually become obsolete, but their guts could be used in so many ways. I'd love for example if someone made an enclosure acting also as multi port docking station so that old phones with unlocked bootloader (Fairphone bei

It's so ironic that they resort to these tactics that ultimately ruin the experience for everyone and ultimately attract more users into using adblockers. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the number of users with adblockers insta

Same here. One of my favorite plugins is BubbleFishyMon which seems funny (and it is: water, air bubbles, fishes and a duck indicating system/memory/network load), until one realizes how much information it can convey with just a

If the HF is behind this, then Wikipedia is doomed beyond any legal defense. Back it up entirely and move it overseas.

Yes,also beware of power strips and electrical wires in general: those coming from there are increasingly made of coated iron instead of copper or brass in contacts. The side effect is a much higher resistance that makes the wire dissipate

I use regularly AI music services to build rock songs out of my lyrics, old poetry or popular songs, etc. and sometimes they hallucinate in creepy ways, adding after the song ends either evil laughter or horror sounds, demon-like voices, st

Companies/Corporations aren't good or bad, they simply don't obey to moral rules like humans, as their sole goal is making more profit and make sure it will grow with time. As they grow,this aspect becomes less and less compa

Welcome to the web 3.0 mindset: changing for the sake of changing and having more bullet points on advertising, moving fast and breaking things because the innovation behind a fancy page can't be wrong even when it ruins the experience

Thought about that years back, and went to the conclusion that you can't kill advertising and political propaganda without strict rules that every big business and their owned politicians would fiercely fight against. Also, advertising

Typo that I can't correct anymore: that would be "won't want to deal".

When you're forced online, you become less resistant to products and services being fed from the cloud, then computers can be produced cheaply with less storage and resources, and almost everyone will end up running dumb terminals. It

Mikrotik sells also bare boards. They come with their RouterOS platform (Linux based, closed) but some can run OpenWRT. Also Olimex has really interesting and open products, but they're not primarily aimed at networking. https:/&

It appears it uses AI only to operate additional stations and ships, while it could be interesting to have it also create random universes, or expand known ones through wormholes. Then add RPG capabilities, FPS and... ok, that would be too
