3D is great for some particular experiences. It’s cool to watch some of the imax movies at home. A handful of the theatrical 3D releases were incredible.

Really though, they need to put more push into the “multi-view” tech that lets people watch a different input depending on their angle. That would also be a feature where it’s reasonable to implement AI, to track a particular viewer’s angle, and adjust the screen to match.

Then enable multiple Bluetooth headphone pairings, and you can have multiple people watching their own thing on the same tv. It would be super useful, but they never really pushed forward with the tech.

They need to demand a code review to find out who set up some of these triggers. Especially the zipper sound. Send that creep to prison.

Not surprising. Samsung is one of the companies most openly spying and breaking laws. They’ve also been caught spying on their customers’ tv microphones.

They are absolutely listening. This is very easy to test. Speak around a Google or Amazon or Apple device, and start talking about things you would never buy, never need, have never looked up, and is completely irrelevant for your demographic. You’ll get ads for it anyway by the end of the day or week.

Listen to the Big Tech comments to press and congressional testimony very carefully. They always say something like, ‘Facebook is not spying on your microphone.’ They’re always very carefully wording it as the parent company is not listening to your devices. But they absolutely know either one of their subsidiaries or their partners are listening to your microphone, and feeding the data to them.

It’s not just the tactics that make it the most predatory. It’s the massive platform and promotion that it gets by being a valve product.

Yes, and a big part of AI advancement is running it on leaner hardware, using less power, with more efficient models.

Not every team is working on building bigger with more resources. Showing off how much they can squeeze out of minimal hardware is an important piece of this.

I’m specifically talking about CS:GO, which is the most predatory and developed by Valve to be so.

A great deal of that money comes Valve running an illegal underage casino, and getting young kids addicted to gambling.

Mixed reality will be awesome. But we need a handful of killer apps, and the headsets need to be affordable enough that your friends have it, too.

Apple half-assed their rollout. They should have been dumping money into development of must-have apps before launch.

Nextcloud. Works super well.

Plex is available for a lot of smart devices. Still helpful to have a server running for it in some circumstances. Not hard to spin up a Plex docker that points to the same library files. Just disable the thumbnail generation to keep it from eating drive space.

My point is, it’s a trend we’re seeing in exploitation of factory workers where countries are trying to bring back manufacturing from China. A lot of the domestic manufacturing in Brazil is due to the high import tariffs, which is gaining popularity here in the states, so I expect we’ll see an increase of this kinda exploitation.

But yeah, you’re probably right.

All of those chip factories Congress is funding building in the US? Congress is also trying to pass legislation to import underpaid Taiwanese labor for them. I expect the conditions won’t be better.

Now it’s built in DRM on Windows 11. And it’s already breaking games.

Yeah, my sticking point isn’t the female witchers. It’s how much less powerful she is now. She was damn near a god last game.

I remember crashing my ps4 my piling up a ridiculous number of corpses during her escape scene. Just such a badass. Hurt my heart to watch her struggle in the fight in this teaser.

Thanks. Some people are Linux super fans. They don’t like to admit there’s a bad use case for it.

I take no pleasure in pointing out the deficiency. Wish I had the expertise to help fix it.

I think they’re Witcher potions. Based on her eyes, I’d guess she underwent the mutations.

I agree the “women cannot be witchers” thing always seemed sexist, but making her a witcher is a nerf more than anything. She didn’t teleport once in the teaser. A weird but welcome flip from ‘the female character didn’t earn it’ to ‘they took away everything she earned’ that we’re seeing in the social media reactions.

I don’t want Windows 11. It performs like shit. But I guarantee this will lead to sneaky upgrades.

Well there goes my strategy of turning off tpm to prevent a sneaky upgrade.

What’s the current best way to prevent an unwanted Windows 11 upgrade?
