Except most people just click a link on their desktop that goes to a thing they have a completely different name for anyways. If you don’t tell them anything (or just say it’s a new version of Windows) they likely won’t notice the actual differences, just complain about missing a specific icon for something without being able to correctly name what it is

Probably is still true, but I’ve not been paying close attention to the AI market in the last couple of years. But the point I was trying to make was that it’s an apples to oranges comparison

Seeing the person chewing out folks for calling for a fork is pretty funny in hindsight. They aren’t wrong, but now they’re the recorded naysayer in a pivotal moment for a major open source project. It’s like anyone who said Open Office shouldn’t be forked when Open Office was purchased by Oracle. Now Open Office is abandonware with only functionally useless commits and multiple unpatched security issues and Libre Office has completely replaced it

I dropped my music library into Jellyfin just as an extra. I’ve built up quite a collection over the years of CDs and always rip and tag them as I acquire new CDs, so while the collection is a little messy it’s sizable and mostly correctly tagged

Jellyfin’s music playback has been buggy but getting better with updates. At the current rate of improvement it’ll probably be really good in a 2-4 years, but right now it’s kinda meh. It exists but it’s buggy enough that I don’t use it much

You forgot the step of “presidential candidate quotes the Facebook post in a presidential debate”

It specifically mentions email addresses (used for account creation I assume) and what content is being watched, which a VPN wouldn’t do anything for.

The cursed Will Smith eating spaghetti wasn’t the best video AI model available at the time, just what was available for consumers to run on their own hardware at the time. So while the rate of improvement in AI image/video generation is incredible, it’s not quite as incredible as that viral video would suggest

Realistically the design goals of a gaming OS vs a general desktop OS aren’t that different. You want to balance performance, batterlife/power consumption, and making sure it withstands insane abuse by users and software doing anything you could never imagine that nobody should have ever tried to do. About the only design goal that separates SteamOS from Windows is fleet manageability features

If you really want to get fancy you could use something like the frrrouting package to make any Linux based operating system your router, but that’s almost entirely configured through a cisco-like command interface

Why am I stuck thinking of the turrets from Portal 2?

I saw a gadget once where they used a motion sensor to sense when the washer and dryer were done.

I have a baby monitor for my kids (1 way audio because I wanted to limit the privacy risk and I suspect more than that can lead to some bad habits) and it clearly filters for sounds at roughly the frequency of kids voices because you can’t consistently say something over it and hear it on the other side, but my kid can go up to it and dictate a 500 word essay that summarizes down to “there’s a bug on the window” and we’ll hear every breath and word

I heavily curate what can and can’t notify me, and specifically choose the least annoying notification sound for anything I give notification sounds to. Anyone who doesn’t scares me

I wonder if the amount of SharePoint storage will be impacted by such a license chance too. One of my clients at work will be very unhappy with these changes especially if it means they have to buy more SharePoint storage

Elon Musk clearly has enourmous skillset at managing startups from their early stages though their explosive growth stages. He’s successfully done so both with Tesla and SpaceX. Unfortunately his management skills are clearly incompatible with running a large company that makes up a notable portion of a market. He should have stepped away from Tesla about a decade ago (possibly as much as 15 years ago). He should have stepped away from SpaceX about 5 years ago. He should be known for growing a promising disruptive startup into a true market player then immediately handing the reigns away and moving onto the next startup, but his ego is simply too big for that, and he doesn’t seem to have the introspection to see the damage he’s doing to the companies he built up

Honestly, while not a scientifically rigerous test, it does demonstrate through absurdity the real risks of computer vision only for driver assist features.

Real world examples including of course the Tesla that plowed into a white truck on a foggy day because it mistook the truck for absolutely nothing among too many others

However, Linux still lacks some popular applications, such as Microsoft Office and Slack, though alternatives are available.

Lol nice bait. Real talk though, just toss shortcuts to word.office.com, excel.office.com and outlook.office.com on the desktop and nobody will be any wiser
