Technology@lemmy.world•Dell says the quiet part out loud: Consumers don't actually care about AI PCs — "AI probably confuses them more than it helps them"English
24·2 months agoDo you mean Copilot, the local indexer and search tool or do you mean Copilot the web based AI chat bot or do you mean Copilot the rebranded Office suite or do you mean … etc.
Seriously, talk about watering down a brand name. Microsoft marketing team are all massive, massive fuck knuckles.

Technology@lemmy.world•Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limitsEnglish
132·5 months agoThere’s a little more to it than that. They also need to consider that, in cars with an analogue speed dial, the actual speed is not displayed precisely. Plus, there may be minor discrepancies between the speed dial and the actual speed, which can be affected by non-standard tyres etc. So a small “buffer” in acceptable speeds is pretty reasonable.
I recall being told by someone at a Mitsubishi factory that car manufacturers actually intentionally set the speed dials to be slightly higher speed than reality to accommodate for people’s need to break the rules just a little…!

Technology@lemmy.world•How Quantum Computers are gonna screw usEnglish
2·6 months agoAt the time of my reply this post has only 14% upvotes, on this left leaning social space So, no, I don’t think “the left” are modern luddites. Unless of course you are an AI-bro or a crypto-bro (a nearly perfect circle Venn diagram), in which case yeah I can imagine you’d think that.

Technology@lemmy.world•Teen killed himself after ‘months of encouragement from ChatGPT’, lawsuit claimsEnglish
5·7 months agoFair enough but in the post I replied to you did say you won’t blame the parents “here” in the slightest, which to me means “here in this specific case”.

131·7 months agoThey already had the kid in therapy. That suggests they were involved enough in his life to know he needed professional help. Other than completely removing his independence, effectively becoming his jailers, what else should they have done?

51·8 months agoThank you. Glad one person has the ability to actually comprehend what I said. Vivaldi - and several others - does ad blocking on iOS right now.

1039·8 months agoFirefox on iOS doesn’t offer any ad blocking. Vivaldi (and several other) Chromium browsers do. So for a good chunk of the mobile community, Firefox is not the best option.

Technology@lemmy.world•‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnoutEnglish
145·8 months agoI hear this all the time but I struggle to see how it is true. How many people regularly trawl through their feed looking for creators who haven’t posted in X days and unfollowing them? It would be a minuscule number. I’m pretty darn selective with my follows and I think I’d do this once a year, tops.
I think creators are conflating the everyday ups and downs of follower counts on their platform(s) as being something more. And I think the platforms themselves are encouraging this mentality because they need fresh content.
Your solution to someone complaining that the boss is earning too much is to suggest they pay the other workers less (or not at all)?

World News@lemmy.world•‘The lad vote’: Surprise polling trend shows young Aussie men moving to the rightEnglish
41·1 year agoCertainly not news.com.au, the right wing Murdoch rag.
I have a Surface Laptop 6 and a Razer eGPU enclosure with a Radeon 6600 XT in it and it works fine. The manufacturer will list what sorts of GPUs are compatible, assuming you get a brand name one and not some cheap no-name Amazon job.
Honestly if you have the money, go for a PC. The mobile CPU in laptops/tablets will your biggest bottleneck. Get a decent CPU, motherboard and PSU and the best GPU you can afford and it’ll probably out perform the Surface.

Technology@lemmy.world•I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphoneEnglish
134·1 year agoYep me too. Wife was adamant her phone was spying on her so we decided to test it by talking about Lexus cars (having chosen cars because at the time she was getting no car ads anywhere, had no interest in cars, and she had never heard of the brand before so certainly hadn’t searched for it). A few hours later, her Facebook feed was full of Lexus ads. 100%.
So do stupid fucken click bait headlines.
