I have had a similar mentality for a long time. I don’t like the company or the philosophy, but the HW they make is pretty sick. That’s why when I was finishing university, I bought an iPad for note taking and such. It was just a well made device. However I stopped using it after grad, so sold it to a friend.
This is not the Stargate I was hoping for growing up…
How many Courics is that? Damn
I have started using LLM tools recently after taking a new job where a lot of people do it. I’ve discovered that it’s actually fairly helpful not only for explanations, but in two other respects
However all that said, I am honestly pretty impressed how well it works. I’ve mostly been using Claude, and damn, it’s honestly pretty competent. I had it make me a helper Python GUI program for me to test some stuff (I’m not a UI/high level engineer like that, I’m an FPGA Engineer), and it did a decent job. It definitely needed a good amount of massaging and guidance. However I can definitely see the appeal, and I think it’s a slippery slope, and I need to make sure I remain disciplined in not letting it do everything
That’s a good comparison. I assume you’re saying that a car is like a mechanical radar and a train is the phased array, right?
Great explaination, thanks a lot!
Can I get an ELI5? My understanding is that easements are the fees that customers (either individual or community) pay to get the equipment/infra run to their property for service.
Are you saying that customers wouldn’t have paid those easements if it was the normal telecom company doing it, as opposed to Google? If so, what are the “damages” in this case? I’m not understanding for what you could sue.
I thought I remember Amazon also listed that, but it’s moot at this point.
Another good option that lists DRM plainly is https://ebooks.com/
They even have a search filter for only DRM free
Ok, good to know. Next time I buy an eBook I’ll look at it
That’s good to hear. The last (and only) book I bought on Kobos store I had to use Adobe Digital Editions I think, which was annoying since they don’t provide that for Linux.
Do you have an easy way to strip the DRM from the Kobo ebooks? If not, then is it much different thank Amazon? I also have a kobo but don’t buy from their store. I mainly buy books on ebooks.com if they are DRM free. And maybe acquire others that aren’t DRM free.
JoCo, is that you?
Not officially I don’t think. And even if you did, you’d need a customized app to point to said server, and then you wouldn’t be interoperable with the regular signal network
I think they’re suggesting doing it on top of SMS/MMS instead of a different transport protocol, like Signal does, which is IP based
Pretty sure they’re actually the most compatible. I read somewhere that Intel QSV is the best for transcoding, followed by nvidia. And Arc uses QSV I think.
Don’t have a source, so take with a grain of salt.
I’m thinking about throwing an Arc B580 in the Minisforum MS-01 I just got and pass it do my JF VM.
For the android users, just gonna put this here
Tbf, my building also uses an app for laundry. However they also have a machine in the laundry rooms where you can purchase an NFC payment card and put money on it. So you can use it without the app. Is that not the case with yours? If not, that’s 100% fucked
Probably the same thing. Firefox for mobile supports extensions
