Creating an economic incentive is known for sane country leaders to hesitate to attack their business partner. Sadly Putin isn’t sane.

Pretty much no phone is directed at everyone else’s face all the time, that alone is the huge difference. It’s the differences between someone using their phone and someone actively holding it upright to record the crowd. Surveillance cameras might be out there too but they aren’t sighted by everyone (different by country, some even have to deleted after 24h, unless there was a crime).

People quickly would tell you to stop recoding, if you’d hold up your phone all the time, even in situations where you’re closer to each other, like in public transport.

Enshittification continues

HP is doing a lot of advertisement lately, the boycott must show first fruits. Fuck HP.

Gaming. GAMING! No one gamed on a Titan card.

For just tinkering around one could use SD1.5 with a 4GB VRAM GPU and stop after a few minutes. I spend quite some time on AI image generation, like on average 4 hours per day since over a year now. New models, especially video AI generation will need more VRAM, but since I don’t do this commercially, I can’t just pay 30k for a GPU.

I know there have been non gaming GPUs with so much VRAM, but that’s beside the point.

RTX3090 with 24gb VRAM was the best you could get as consumer GPU. Not sure which 2017 GPU you mean but it certainly was a completely different price range and not for gaming. It would be the same as comparing it to an A100, makes no sense.

A lot of people can’t afford two PCs or a GPU that costs 10 times as much, so obviously the GPU needs to be good for gaming and other stuff. I only voiced my opinion after all. If you don’t need more VRAM, that’s fine. I however don’t have an unlimited wallet and VRAM should be higher for the asking price they have, but again, you can disagree if you think it’s fine.

Compared to 24gb we had in 2020 that’s barely an upgrade. I’m not joking, AI stuff needs more VRAM. 32gb is too little for the price they’ll ask for. Right now VRAM is more important than pure power, you can’t use larger models when your VRAM bottlenecks.

Edit: oh I get it. I mentioned AI my bad.

32gb VRAM would suck. Then I’ll not buy a 5090. A 5080 with only 16GB of GDDR7 would also suck. Better get a 3090 with 24gb then.

Confused it’s Tesla and not X (aka Twitter)

Fdroid is pretty good, I get most of my apps from there by now. I don’t game on my phone though.

It’s only a matter if time til they enshittificate gmail as well.

Sounds more like them trying to boost their stock price with rumors.

Yup, old news and wrong news. Also so many people who hate AI but don’t understand how it works. Pretty disappointing for a technology community.

Lol, e-waste

It’s a big lie. Why not offer the option to delete automatically after 24h if 15mb extra is so much storage?

Or is it about bandwidth? Why no automatic compression on desktop? Oh wait, that feature existed in the past was scrapped. They think you’re fools.

Is there a list of companies to avoid, who’re still advertising there?

But… But they got the good press of “at least you can uninstall”. I hope whoever said that starts a bigger shit storm now.
