I’m not convinced that there’s enough training data for it to be good in my specialization anytime soon. And it certainly won’t be trusted for safety critical applications even if that were to happen.

That being said I’m very, very, glad to not be in CS or law where there is nearly endless data to train on.

We don’t buy great value milk anymore. It’s time for a few days but consistently spoils far faster than any of the other options for us. So it’s not really great value unless you consume a lot of milk.

Ya that would be more than $400 of gold. But there’s only one way to find out…

Projectivy is incredible. I took a while to try it because I didn’t have any real problems with Google’s launcher besides the ads, but the jellyfin and smarttube integration make it so much better than I realized.

If this is really as straightforward as it sounds then I’d consider this the best case scenario. Google could have gone full Apple style lockdown or even just have implemented this flow on a per app basis, but needing to wait 24hr one time to enable unverified app installation isn’t a bad idea from a security perspective. It prevents a bad actor with temporary access from being able to do much while not getting in the way of us power users after the initial 24hr period.

My bigger problem is how Google is leveraging their monopoly to implement this single-handedly and only for themselves. If they had instead gone through AOSP this perhaps could have been implemented in a better way to allow other parties than just Google to be the verifier, and that 24hr waiting period could be applied to any verifier that is not the phone’s default. I’d argue this would be an equally reasonable security measure considering how many scams are out there preying on those who aren’t technologically savvy, yet would maintain transparency.

All my friends who have one rave about the reliability. I can’t get one on principle. They’re all at the mercy of Bambu’s closed source firmware which means you’re always only one automatic update away from a required subscription.

Removing the cap is a complete no-brainer but on its own not enough to solve the problem. The fact we can’t even do that gives me zero confidence that it will be solvent to fully pay benefits when I ultimately retire.

There’s a polished calculator for the impact of each policy change here: https://www.crfb.org/socialsecurityreformer/

Imo there are many reasonable solutions, but the only “free” thing that won’t upset the public is removing the cap, and we can’t even do that.

These attacks are more around the encryption and all require a fully malicious server. It sounds like Bitwarden is taking these seriously and personally I’d still strongly prefer it to any closed source solution where there could be many more unknown but undiscovered security concerns.

Using a local solution is always most secure, but imo you should first ask yourself if you trust your own security practices and whether you have sufficient hardware redundancy to be actually better. I managed to lose the private key to some Bitcoin about a decade ago due to trying to be clever with encryption and local redundant copies.

Further, with the prevalence of 2FA even if their server was somehow fully compromised as long as you use a different authenticator app than Bitwarden you’re not at major risk anyways. With how poorly the average person manages their password security this hurdle alone is likely enough to stop all but attacks targeted specifically at you as an individual.

On Android Newpipe has the best UI in my opinion.

18hr of battery with the display off is a killer, and even if you could get an m.2 modem working in it m.2 modems tend to be far less efficient than the ones integrated to cell phone hardware. At least if my experience with Quectel and Sierra m.2 modems is representative of other brands.

Indeed it’s misleading wording but credit where credit is due, this is far better than turning them all into e-waste. It’s not like anyone bought these with the assumption they would have any sort of official API someday, especially after seeing how Sonos handled their similar situation…

Full Windows 8.1 thanks to Intel’s x86 tablet push at the time.

Windows RT never made it to any other devices besides the Surface RT iirc and was pretty much an immediate failure.

They made so many terrible Windows 8.1 tablets which they had to support. I used one of these with an atom z3735f and 2GB of RAM as my only Windows computer for a long time, and Windows 8.1 was completely smooth on it despite the anemic hardware. Some even cheaper tablets and mini PCs released with 1GB RAM and 16GB emmc yet somehow also were also able to run Windows 8.1 okay.

News websites need to stop saying Russia’s economy is crashing, I feel like I’ve read this headline 100 times over the last 3 years. It’s the wartime economy of a petro-state, they don’t need that many outside buyers of their oil to make their highly controlled domestic wartime production work. Traditional global indicators of economic health shouldn’t be applied for as long as this continues, claiming otherwise is just false hope and a poor excuse for providing less help to Ukraine.

I try tapping when I encounter an unfamiliar mobile app interface. I’ve not been trained to vertically scroll tiktok style when something looks like a complete page.

The unfortunate part for DIY PC is that the RAM is likely all buffered ECC. And used flash is sketchy in my experience, even if you buy SLC where the whole point is supposed to be that it is more durable.

On the bright side when the Kansas governor tried pulling this move they ended up voting in a Democrat governor.

Not the case for me, I’ll typically spend a solid week or two tweaking things after I initially set it up to get all the hardware working perfectly, then never touch the configuration again even as things slowly start breaking with updates.
