For people not knowing French, the Nvidia offices were not raided by heavily armed forces, with guns or whatever shooting.

"Perquisition" is just some cops/people coming and getting into your stuff or taking it for analysis. It's like a search in Nvidia's stuff/software/internal communications. It required a warrant given by a judge.

This tech seems cool for people who may need it, or even just for fitness or other things.

But if Google is behind using the data to whatever money purpose (like selling ads), it becomes a bit bad.

Tho they would already do so with watches or other health tech connecting to their services. So 🤷. If people have already choose a Google product for health, it doesn't change much, it's just another cool tech to the collection.

Circular isn't a great idea, and here are most of the idea why it is not : https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/528821/why-dont-we-have-a-circular-usb-port

USB required to have a stable connexion, as it's a digital signal and not an analog as jack ports, which just sends curent through it. Rotating the connector could maybe introduce issues for signal integrity.

The usb connector has much more connectors than a jack port. It would take a very long hole to fit them all. (usb 3+, usb C...)

Size constraint. USB C is flat, a round port is not. So it's bigger in 1 way, but smaller in the other, and so creates more design challenges.

Using emoji is a bad idea.

Here is why (without a password manager which removes the hard, but not the incompatible) :

• some emojis can be inexistent on other devices. So you may not be able to log in on another device.
• An emoji is hard to remember if you need to type them with an alt code, while also being easy to crack.
• For a computer, and emoji is nothing else than a character. So hard to type, easy to crack.
• More likely you use an emoji someone else used. So it could maybe be easier to crack.

And you don't need to believe me https://nordpass.com/blog/emoji-passwords/

Reduce reuse recycle. Seems to be an interesting material for reuse.

Tho I don't know what to think about it for ecology. The material would most like still get into common trash and thrown into the wild.

Only 25% degradation in the ocean is conflicting. If the resin remains and cannot be degraded, well it's still pollution like plastic.

What happens to the material is burned in a trash incinerator? Does it release bits of resin in the air like plastic?

or when in the wild under rain or dirt?

Tho it still seems to be an interesting material which may allow for a easier repair or recicling of road material.

Some people may see it in some other way.

This is worse than what the title says. It doesn't after the search results. It changes the search terms you inputed.

It completely deletes what you put, to replace it (without anyone noticing it) with similar search words, but to get money from a brand or make you buy from that brand.

And when you buy or click on links, Google makes money because advertising and partnership.

Say you search for “children’s clothing.” Google converts it, without your knowledge, to a search for “NIKOLAI-brand kidswear,” making a behind-the-scenes substitution of your actual query with a different query that just happens to generate more money for the company

First, the generated results to the latter query are more likely to be shopping-oriented, triggering your subsequent behavior much like the candy display at a grocery store’s checkout

Second, that latter query will automatically generate the keyword ads placed on the search engine results page by stores like TJ Maxx, which pay Google every time you click on them. In short, it's a guaranteed way to line Google’s pockets.

Consent-O-Matic (has to be downloaded from the main website, and not the android sub category)

And what you wish to have other than that depends on your needs.

I myself have an extension to unlock Bing AI on Firefox android.

Google Search Fixer (for when I need a Google service)

TWP - Translate Web Pages

And more.

It's something else. Here it's US antitrust monopoly.

Google made deals with games and special contracts with other apps in order to kill competition.

What would be best? Dealing with a bug for 1 month waiting a monthly update, or dealing with a bug 2 days waiting a daily update?

The game dlls weren't "modified", but amd's antilag+ was grabbing the dll process to execute their code in the middle of it.

It would be like a detour in a dll adding an additional process in the middle, while not modifying the file.

Cheats also use such methods.

S takes. Intel is a new player with a lot less experience creating drivers for dedicated gpus and gaming.

So it's not about beeing "crap".

It's about beeing impressive that they still support their new linup while increasing the competition pressure on amd and nvidia. They are getting better and better with time, amd maybe at one point, or with next gen we'll get competition forcing the 2 old ones to get better pricing.

I don't understand your ranting about mozzila. In the wiki page you posted right there :

Any profits made by the Mozilla Corporation will be invested back into the Mozilla project. There will be no shareholders, no stock options will be issued and no dividends will be paid

Where is the profit on the page? The revenue isn't profit, it's how much money they make without the costs.

Then how do you expect a browser to survive without revenue? There are 3 major browser engines on the market today :

• chromium (backed up by Google, sucking big money)
• blinkwebkit (baked up by apple, with big money too)
• Gecko (I think) for Firefox. And it also needs lots of funding.

Al of them suck up huge amount of money.

For revenue, they also have more products than Firefox https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mozilla_products which also make money or not.

It requires powerful gpus yes but not always. It depends a lot on how fast you want it to run. Microsoft and openai need powerful ai gpus because they have a lot of requests, data and want it to go fast. The dataset may also require to be stored in memory or gpu memory for fast access and use by the ai.

For Llama, it has been released as open source. And what is amazing about open source, is the community. A Llama entirely in c++ has been created https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp .

And someone even managed to make it run, fast enough, on a phone with 8gb of available ram https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/discussions/750 . Tho with a smaller dataset.

This looks like scam email and Aliexpress products merged together.

This article is so much better than what was posted 2 weeks ago (https://lemmy.nz/post/2974266).

Now I do understand it better, tho still not perfectly.

So it can be used to manage hot spots in chips and semiconductors.

If you don't know why it matters, in one of these 2 videos (I don't remember which one) Der8auer discusses with an intel engineer the challenges of designing a chip, where to put the thermal probe and why some parts are designed like that :

• https://youtu.be/ljZt_TQegHE?si=AzV0kTH-lU2A2RXn

• https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=lzt057vUjGb6YIPa&v=h9TjJviotnI&feature=youtu.be

Basically : the heat travels through the chip at different rates depending on the material distance... And finding the hot spot is very challenging.

So having better cooling where it matters can be a benefit for chip cooling and efficiency.

Now I don't know if this tech can evolve into something which can be used for this.

Rather push by Microsoft instead of Google?

This post : When stupid people read company news

(great ceo choice, she has experience in communication, which is the main thing a ceo has to do for gnome. She doesn't need to do or participate deeply in development.

And shaman, well whatever, why do you even care?)

Hey, for my recommendations keep in mind I did not use Linux as a main os for some time now. It is based on me following Linux channels and news, but also my past experience and installing it on my laptop and my brother's laptop.

Linux distros are different in the packages they choose to include for their environment, use and desktop. Some distros offer different desktop environments (which are different desktop softwares, with different handling of included apps, settings and theming).

Depending on how well you know how to search online and not follow outdated advice, some different distros can be interesting :

Beginner friendly for Linux :

• Linux Mint (cinnamon desktop)
• Pop OS (gnome desktop)
• Ubuntu (gnome desktop) (maybe, but I'd rather choose Pop OS due to snap packages of Ubuntu beeing forced and having lower quality compared to apt and flatpak)

All desktops can be themed. Tho cinnamon I don't know how well it supports modifying the task bar.

Gnome can have extensions to do things, show a bottom task bar, start button, start menu...

For these 3 distros, the system package manager used (installer, app searcher) is apt-get (shortened to apt). It is a well k'ow package manager with plenty of tutorials online. All also include flatpak, which is a special package manager where apps Comme bundled with their own dependencies (software to make the main software work), and so reduce incompatibilities.

Ubuntu as a package manager called snap installed by default, it has the same objective as flatpak, but it is closed source, and already had issues with malware spreading through it.

Obviously all 3 package managers can have issues, as community is there to check the apps, but it may not always be safe. The safest package source is still the system one apt as packages are checked by the people maintaining the main distro repo. But many flastpaks and snaps are safe. (tho they can have some theming issues).

All of these 3 include a GUI store where you can search and install apps.

Another great distro which can work for beginner or advanced

• Fedora desktop (gnome) (It is also available with the kde desktop). Tho this one has a smaller community, and so there is less useful help online, and there may be more out of date advice you would have to navigate through.

Fedora has a pretty good documentation, but even that one seems to be a bit out of date on some things.

If you have an nvidia driver, this one doesn't have nvidia proprietary drivers installed by default nor help at the beginning on automatically installing them. You have to enable at install (or after in the store settings) the nvidia closed repo and install the nvidia driver from the store.

Kde as a desktop is pretty great, tho it can be overwhelming with all it's settings and options available to the user.

Gnome tho still requires an app to be able to control hidden settings like mouse acceleration and some other settings.

I wouldn't recommend other distros for beginner or someone who just wants to easy setup and work.

Debian is pretty stable even in its "testing" branch (Debian stable = old bur rock solid, not recommended for gaming. Testing = newish, still not breaking. Unstable = unstable) needs to have a manual install or help through someone's script.

Manajaro is a mess. On some devices it will work, on other it will just desintegrate after some months.

Or the communities are so small that packages may easily pass testing and break.

It was something else. Web drm : Web Integrity API.

Tho I don't think they canceled the mobile variant of it for apps.

What I remember : Startpage has been bought by an advertising company. So who knows what they could do with it.

Well it depends.

Just from the subject: are mobile photos real

(to simplify this and avoid a definitive no, well not talk about photos beeing real or not in numeric form).

Photography is a complicated topic on mobile phones, with plenty of algorithms enhancing what a tiny sensor can deliver.

• But let's assume there is a phone and algorithm, which manages to represent a photograph as close as possible to what I see.

Are my photos real because they represent what I see at one precise point in time? Because it is what I remember something was?

Or are they not real because of the algorithms interpreting the results to make it look like I see it?

• Now let's assume I have another phone, like a Samsung or whatever. Such phone may take a picture, but that picture is modified, there is maybe more saturation for the sky and grass, while combining multiple pictures to do HDR... And plenty of other things.

Now are these photos real?

They change what I see, but would that make them less real for you/me? How do you see your pictures?

about the article : When ai/photography manipulation is brought in the question, in order to change the first result :

• It could slightly change colors, then I guess we could maybe comme back to above, is this interpretation real or not? More or less real?

• It could be a modification of what and how elements appear in that picture. Here, for me, there isn't any question. The reality of the pictures are completely broken as they do not represent anymore what I could see.

I'm using windows pro, because of hyperv, and gpu virtualisation. And I don't need that security feature.

And windows pro still have some benefits. The group policy, tho most of the changes can still be made in the registry.

Manjaro is a bit of a strange distro. It works on some setups and breaks on other. On my hp laptop, manjaro stood there without breaking for a year.

On my brother's Lenovo laptop, the distro craped itself while trying to update packages, after 2 months...

Both had aur enabled, but I had the most aur software installed. So no idea why it broke.

Since I installed fedora on his laptop, no issues for 2 years.

The Hot sort seems to show new and sligly older content, with an enphasis on new. So I just sort by hot, as the algorithm is pretty good for that.

And mostly on subscribed. All being mostly to discover other things.

I finished Laika : Aged through blood. An indie metroidvania / 2d bike shooter / bullet time.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1796220/Laika_Aged_Through_Blood/

It's the story of a mother in a post-apocalyptic environment having to care for her daughter and village while doing the war outside.

Everything, art, music, is a masterpiece. The music is just extremely good.

Outside of special zones, there are 20 you have to find, and it cycles between them. All 20 are voiced, with words or humming.

The story is good, and is extremely anti-war.

The gameplay feels amazing. It can be hard at first, but I quickly learned how to control the bike and and to do backflips and frontflips at the right time to reload guns and the pary.

The main character laika is one-shot, but the game isn't very punishing. The respawn points aren't too far away from each other, and they are optional. When you die, you loose a pouch with the currency, and can get it back.

There are some little issues with the game tho. The ending seems to be a bit rushed. The ending boss isn't that difficult, and there were some cuts it seems.

But overall these little issues aren't that bad, and the game is still amazing for an indie.

You won't need to?

The key is for a single device. Logging in on another one is going to generate another key.

They key is secured with the pin of the device, so when you try to log in, you can use the pin to log in, and not the password.

Sending the entire email content to their cloud isn't that good.

However an advantage to doing so is to be able to use push notifications on the app without having to poll continuously the email address from the device. Which in return reduces the battery usage compared to constant polling.

However, they could have done something like spark mail, only get the email subject, sender and a little bit of the content to put into the noficiation then delete after the push notificdation has been sent.

KBM. As I played on a keyboard and mouse since so long, I lost the usage of controllers. And whenever I have to use controlers, it's a bit of a pain. So I don't, as much as possible.

Tho in some games I tried, like elite dangerous, I had to use a controler for movement as on keyboard it was painfully slow, or too fast, but also just to be able to use most of the controls.

Nah, the game is utter trash not the bugs. Let's look at 3 games very hyped :

• Redfall : game had game breaking bugs and performance issues at launch. Gameplay was bad. No one played it.

• Gollum : game had game breaking bugs and performance issues at launch. Gameplay was destroyed due to bugs. The studio closed their gaming branch.

• Starfield : very hiped, bought by a lot of people, the game looks like 2010-15 game with some little 2023 enhancements...

Redfall and Gollum were failures. High budget failures. They most likely layed off people.

Starfield : Microsoft layed off people at the start of the year https://www.polygon.com/23561210/microsoft-layoffs-xbox-bethesda-halo-infinite-343-industries for who knows why. The game got delayed, and then it gets out very mixed due to bad exploration gameplay and no love put into population design (population characters look like 2010 or even worse).

All of these 3 games have been very hyped, with a high price, but none of their failure have anything to do with gamers "fault" and "opinion". It's all on the studios fault on not delivering something good.

You did not understood what I said lol. Don't use duckduck.com. Use duckduckgo.com

Because lots of people aren't smart enough to make the link with a factory.

But the non smart people see smoke or steam and they think pollution.

Bruh wtf did my keyboard write. Fixed to new.

A big issue with recent games is Vram usage (the gpu has vram). If you don't have enough vram the game will stutter. At the moment where there isn't enough vram, even a tiny bit not enough, the game will stutter.

Another issue is also ram and cpu utilisation which in some games is pretty extreme.

Othrt issue can be very heavy graphics and badly optimized lower settings.

Some games also have transition stutter, where you change zone. It will try to load the new zone and unload the precedent one. But it uses cpu power and requires a fast ssd depending on the size of what has to be loaded.

It is, but only if you go on the main website, and not the android sub category https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete/

I find Lemmy works pretty well for a decentralised network.

It is possible to see what everyone has been subscribed to when sorting by all, and so subscribe myself to it to get it in my subscription feed.

There are nice apps like Liftoff which can manage multiple accounts at the same time, and even view instances all feed without an account on them.

Mastodon on the other hand is a bit lackluster in comparison I'd say. The subscription model is pretty had to start using as I need to either find # or people to subscribe to, and even subscribing to them. And even after doing that the posts aren't that interesting or feel empty due to no comments/likes/boost.

Maybe I subscribed to the wrong #, but I find Lemmy much more enticing than mastodon.

It benefits a lot of people, but not the ones who have a direct use of the ai for themselves.

Don't use duckduck.com it may not lead to the expected result.
