  • It is off by default.

  • The alt-text tagging is pretty amazing according to my sister (blind), too.

  • Good thing it's open source and we'll immediately see that they aren't doing the thing you're claiming.

  • No, they won't be used at all, and will be hidden from view, if turned off.

  • Alt-text generation for screen readers (amazing feature)

    Private, offline translation (amazing feature)

    Chatbot sidebar (I have very little use for it, but some may like it)

    All of these are opt-in.

  • That stuff is commonly included in the AI umbrella.

  • Does anyone even talk about what the “AI features” are?

    The one I use the most is their offline translation. I don't have to send my data to Google Translate.

    My sister (blind) uses the new screen reader stuff a lot.

    Mozilla is certainly adding good AI features, but the chatbot integration isn't something I have much use for.

  • Not implementing any AI is stupid.

    I for one appreciate having offline, private language translation. Sending it to a Google Translate server is a privacy nightmare.

    My sister appreciates the better screen-reader functionality.

    Plenty of people do want AI features.

  • That's literally not true, though? They've spoke about it for ages.

  • Huh?

    Micron is one of the big three DRAM producers.

    And the South Koreans aren't lowering production, unless you mean DRAM specifically in favour of HBM for the datacentre/AI market (which is what they are doing), that would be crazy given the level of demand, it'd just let competitors take the market. Samsung and SK Hynix are expanding fabs, but they're not expected to be operational until 2027.

    Blatant misinformation being upvoted lol

  • LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems

  • Re-read my comment, you plonker. I said you don't have to watch, i.e. having preferences is fine.

    If your preference is that people "act straight", however, I'll call you out on it.

    God, what a fucking moron you are. Such a simple point that you completely failed to grasp.

  • Valve is stopping production of LCD Steam Deck models, once sold out they will be gone forever

  • I didn't say it's not a thing, I said it's not something you really have to worry about with modern displays.

    I'd definitely worry about burn-in if you have Teams open for nine hours a day and the taskbar on.

    And yet, the testing seems to show that's not an issue.

  • I've not had a single phone that's suffered burn in.

    Regardless, I'd trust someone who reviews displays for a living over my own anecdote.

  • Because of the link to Anduril, seemingly.

    I really fucking hate these tech bros taking stuff from Tolkien's mythos to name their products. Tolkien would fucking hate these people and these companies.
