It’s true that normal books do experience wear and tear, but looking at what my local library has I’d say that many or most can still least many years before needing to be retired or replaced.
As we’re seeing with Amazon, with ebooks it’s really the readers that expire over time
Yeah. It’s not just signal either that could be an issue. Sure, I want my private messages to be private, but there are financial apps, business email, and many other bits of very sensitive information that could be captured in those messages
Clover. Clover is great:
Tech communities make sense. That’s where a lot of it started on other sites (Slashdot, Digg, Reddit) and the first user-base I’d expect to move. The rest will likely stay where they’re “comfortable” until the water gets too hot
Work laptop: MS Teams is taking 1.2 gigabytes of fucking RAM just to exist. I’m not in a call. I’m not transferring files. Just the basic interface with chats (which still somehow manages to suck more than chat inferences from decades ago).
The LLM will do whatever they tell it to, including making shit up in order to suit the narrative. They’re the ultimate “yes-man” that’s not even human.
Unfortunately for CEO’s, it turns out that yes-men - or yes-machines - aren’t particularly good developers or legal strategists
Governments wanting to identify and regulate speech under the guise of protecting children
Yeah, seriously. Nvidia is too busy fucking over the consumer PC market to be interested to produce a CPU that’d sell in that same market. My bet is that any CPU they release would be targeted at cloud/AI as well.
Yup, but those are the cases that make the news. There’s always gonna be some stupid/lazy ones
AI in the legal field could be useful for assisting an actual legal professional in compiling precedent based against on-the-books laws, so long as it cites sources and they verify them.
In the medical field, it could be useful for spotting anomalies between multiple images such as X-rays or cross-referencing medical documents WHEN USED BY A PROFESSIONAL.
But the thing is, it should be a tool - carefully used - to enhance the existing profession, not replace actual professionals.
What’s the common way for updating these? I have some similar devices that use Wi-Fi but local stores seem to use some sort of nearby transmitter pointex towards the shelves, maybe infrared/optical
Probably more timed towards certain times and demographics, but yeah it just takes a couple seconds to update and there are plenty of customers running “loyalty points apps”
Honestly that was my thought/worry as well. It’s like gang/mob members killing somebody then deliberately waiting for the funeral to take another swipe at their rivals.
Dropping a big bomb on mourners and then just saying “oops” would be very much in line with the behavior we’ve seen lately. I’m glad it didn’t this happen but wouldn’t put it past them
You won’t open the content, and you’ll have absolutely 0% privacy because all of your processing and data will be on somebody else’s system.
AI will go from making cute GIF’s to fully automated surveillance and ensuring nobody uses those systems for anything not approved by the regime.
Yeah PXE boot has been a thing for decades, and with network speeds going from 10/100, gigabit, and now potentially 5-10gbit it’s pretty viable for home environments. It’s great for common libraries, and mine has an emulator plus a bunch of GoG etc games which I’ve been tinkering to make run nicely.
My preference though is still “thick” clients which use the network for boot and OS/storage, but still have their own CPU and RAM.
Other than storage and networking, the server side requirements aren’t huge. My plan is to make a portable environment which people can patch into and play classic games together.
(If anyone has experience with OpenSpy and getting it to work sans-Internet I’d love to pick your brain, as I really want to get BF2142 and other classics running fully without internet)
Don’t worry, to make it work,he’ll only need to open the firewall to the Internet for dozens of MS subdomains and thousands of IP’s in ranges that can randomly change from day to day. Totally more an issue for systems which might have been segregated from the Internet before!

It’s not like that even try to hide a lot of the shit they do.
Stuff like:
Second to worst for that is the excessive use of Google stuff, including Chromebooks replacing PC labs, and a bunch of G-software
Yeah my first thought was that Frame should be ok since my intended use-case was “connected to Steam PC via the wireless transceiver” but then I AI remembered it can run standalone so would also need storage, RAM, and a strong enough processor to handle all that.
Now I’m kinda thinking it would be cool if the Frame was more like an updated Index with wireless, local tracking etc etc and an optional daughter-board - for standalone gameplay functionality - that could be connected later or even allow upgrades.
I’m rather suspicious of this story given the timing and the increase of “we need online ID to protect the children” narratives being pushed by various government
