I gave it a look. And I’ll say that personally I’m not a big fan of card stack views, but that’s prob just me. The main reason I’m leaving the note here is to say that the app name bounding box in the cards seems to just truncates the app name. It works fine at 75% zoom, but at 100% zoom I only see the first 2 or 3 characters of the app name. Could be an artifact of the browser I’m using (Brave/MacOS), but figured I’d let you know.
I installed AIO on an old machine (retired gaming PC) a few months ago. I use NC notes and file sharing, and have disabled other services I don’t need. It’s running behind a proxy server. It’s worked fine so far. I use Immich for photos though, not Nextcloud. I heard a lot of gripes about Nextcloud for photos.
Got it. Thanks.
Now true they could do that and not make it available to advertisers but the very idea is pretty fraught.
More than fraught… platforms are often contractually prohibited by the streaming apps from collecting and analyzing actual viewer data. Usually the meta-search and meta-merchandising (ie “recommendations”) are built from some agreed upon set of rules between the two companies. They often include some watch history, but it may be the streaming app feeding that into the platform rather than the platform doing the analysis. Contract terms are different for every provider though, so it’s a big ol opaque mess. Rarely just a recommendation algo at work.
You say “misinterpreting scripture” as if scripture has ever been more than some nonsense somebody cooked up to arbitrarily subjugate people.
I just installed Firefly yesterday, and I can say that the docker compose setup was easy. I’ve got no real opinions yet, just wanted to mention this for OP in case he reads your experience as it being easier. I imagine they’re both easy.
I’m curious, when you say you stopped importing, does that mean you were getting info from your banks, and stopped doing that? Why did you stop? My next step was to set up the automated importer for Firefly.
I’m sad that we pushed 4k (and even 8k) instead of using the same digital bandwidth for HD@60fpS
We didn’t. The specs for UHD / 4K TV purposely included 60 fps.
It’s good for sports and natural history, but elsehwere, creatives don’t like it, and they mostly believe that audiences don’t like it. The only thing with any budget behind it was the couple of Ang Lee projects, and they flopped.
In a more practical sense, you have generations of filmmakers who produce visually excellent material in 24fps. You can’t just turn a knob and get great looking 60fps content. It takes intent, desire, and technical skill to be able to do it at higher frame rates, and the lack of creative desire is what prevents it, not any industry push (or lack of).
Sorry for being an idiot, but what is an agentic OS?
Agentic OS is a buzzword that’s meant to imply that the OS is (or has) an AI agent doing useful things for you in the background without you explicitly asking it to do those things (ie an agent working for you). For an agent to be useful, (they say) it has to know and learn everything it can about you, your life, your friends, activities, contacts, work, and so on.
The tradeoff is pretty extreme though. Everything you do on the PC is watched, analyzed, catalogued, and retained by MIcrosoft (and possibly whoever they choose to share the info with, which is likely every government that asks). The features that do this are generically called client-side scanning and Microsoft has a few specific variants you can read about called Copilot Recall, and Copilot Vision.
Taking it all the way back to OP’s meme. Love it.
You can find some old Buster Keaton interviews on YouTube where he talks about the craft. Pretty good stuff.
Terminator, despite being a classic and massively popular movie of the time, is pretty bad by modern SFX & VFX standards.
The Thing (Jonh Carpenter) for a movie of the same era holds up impressivley well.
Are they that cheap?
Agreed. It’s nice having a phone with the software you want on it.
Looking just at location… Apple is actually better at location tracking precision than Google, and you can’t turn it off (even powering off your phone doesn’t shut it off). Disabling location services doesn’t prevent the data collection by Apple, it only blocks apps from using it.
Apple is probably better at not sharing your data with others than Goolge, but that’s a position of faith, not fact. If you trust Apple and are diligent about blocking location access to 3rd party apps, it’s better. But you should expect that if you’re giving location access to a free app (like Google maps, a weather app, a ride share app, a streaming app, etc.), you can bet they are selling your location data.
Is Google Play Services sampling your location so that it can send it in to Google HQ as part of a secret location tracking operation that runs without user consent or knowledge
Yes they track your phone’s location and movement constantly, but it’s not a secret.
For an example of the evidence you seek… Google SensorVault location data was how they identified and convicted the January 6 terrorists. You might argue that complying with warrants isn’t misuse of the data, but I’d argue that both the data itself, and the level of precision and detail, shouldn’t be captured and logged in the first place. And I’m fairly sure that most google customers have no idea how pervasive and extensive the tracking is.
You can’t get a decent non-smart TV, but you can just not connect a Smart TV to the internet.
Any TV you buy will have a range of “picture quality enhancement” settings. These all introduce some rendering latency. Game modes on TVs (for the most part) bypass the PQE functions. Rtings.com is a quality source for this kind of info. They do good work and publish their testing methodologies.
Source… worked a shitload of years in TV electronics, and was part of the industry from Smart TVs being godawful to just a few years ago.
The big screen. It’s a normal phone folded up, and almost an iPad mini unfolded. And it works surprisingly well. When I first saw the ads, I thought it was a stupid design. But after using it, I’m a fan.
It’s also nice to have a device I can set up with the software I want, and have sensible controls that work. I don’t miss iOS at all.
Because they have held a very high standard for a very long time. It is one of the few “brands” of reviews that has remained trustworthy over the years. They only award a star to excellence; nothing in the guide is bad. Indeed there is lots of good food that’s never mentioned in the guide.
I bought a pixel 9 fold to run GrapheneOS. I didn’t consider running stock android, and wouldn’t use a Samsung phone if you gave it to me.
Apple doesn’t really offer anything comparable in screen size or form factor, so it’s hard to compare in some ways. I like the fold quite a bit, but it has it’s quirks. The Qi/magnetic charger is trash, battery life is just ok, hardware doesn’t appear as durable as the iphone, and there aren’t great case options for the fold, and the cases that have a mag charger option have it in a place that makes magsafe accessories not fit in the right spot (they hang off the bottom a little).
Graphene has it’s own set of quirks that take a little getting used to. But overall I’m loving it. The only real sucky thing is that the keyboards are different enough that I can’t type for shit.
I’m like OP from a few months ago. I joined ML because it was easy and sorta anonymous. What’s the story on ML? Who defederated? What am I missing?
