  • Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades

    Jump

  • Windows is only "easy" because you're used to it. Coming to it fresh, windows 11 is such a shit show sometimes.

    Minecraft works on Linux,

    FFXIV works on Linux (it works on the steam deck which runs Linux, so it will work natively just like in windows),

    Steam itself works on Linux just the same.

  • An upcoming California law requires operating system providers to enforce basic mandatory age verification

  • They've sold their XPS line with Ubuntu as an option for like 10 years. Maybe they stopped for some time, but it's not new

  • US tells diplomats to lobby against foreign data sovereignty laws

    Jump

  • Is the rest of the world as lobby -able as the US? Guess we'll find out

  • Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?"

    Jump

  • you understand the context, and can implicitly understand the need to drive to the car wash', but these glorified auto-complete machines will latch on to the "should I walk there" and the small distance quantity. It even seems to parrot words about not wanting to drive after having your car washed. There's no 'thinking' about the whole thought, and apparently no logical linking of two separate ideas

  • You're assuming AI "think" "logically".

    Well, maybe you aren't, but the AI companies sure hope we do

  • The Anthropic test refusal string: kill a Claude session dead

    Jump

  • In theory Anthropic is more concerned about AI issues, so this doesn't surprise me from their "AI safety team"

  • TV remotes should have an easy-to-find (by touch) "volume toggle" button that toggles between two volume settings.

  • "turn down the music, I can't see we might be lost"

  • Chatbots Make Terrible Doctors, New Study Finds

    Jump

  • As a supplement to doctors that sounds like a fantastic use of AI. Then it's an encyclopedia you engage in conversation

  • I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too

    Jump

  • Same, my 9 (us) does too. But I heard going forward they want to be eSIM only

  • Chatbots Make Terrible Doctors, New Study Finds

    Jump

  • could be a great idea if people could be trusted to correctly interpret things that are not in their scope of expertise. The parallel I'm thinking of is IT, where people will happily and repeatedly call a monitor "the computer". Imagine telling the AI your heart hurts when it's actually muscle spasms or indigestion.

    The value in medical professionals is not just the raw knowledge but the practice of objective assessment or deduction of symptoms, in a way that I didn't foresee a public-facing system being able to replicate

    Jump

  • I really value the camera on my phone, since it is essentially my main camera and I enjoy taking pictures. I might rather lean into graphene-ing this pixel than a fair phone, unfortunately. But probably not purchase a future pixel, since they abandoned the physical SIM slot

  • Intentionally over-complicating a device so that it must be repaired (additional revenue) by a 'professional' that they approve of (additional revenue) with their own parts (additional revenue).

    You might expect a company that makes easier-to-repair things to retain more customers, but 'more customers' is an incentive because it means more profit, but if you can get several more profit more directly by doing these shenanigans, then why wouldn't unregulated capitalists go in that direction?

  • mistakes rule

    Jump

  • If you experience that world often enough, it is real in a way.

    The representation of the place is virtual but the memories made in it are real.

    If reality itself could be a simulation and we don't know any different, would knowing it's a simulation change the realness and validity of our experiences within?

    Fascinating topic, really. It's cool how art can make you wonder.

  • Verizon carriers start switching to 365-day device unlock policy, up from 60 days

    Jump

  • I really like swappa for the ability to return the phone to the seller for refund.

    In theory eBay also allows this, but since it's a core feature of the swappa marketplace that it gives me comfort that the phone is listed in good faith and they haven't misrepresented the phone.

    I suggest it to anyone I know looking for a phone

  • I saw 'FaaS' and immediately thought Freedom as a Service, which is exactly the tagline such a service would have

  • What a joke, can't believe people still voluntarily use this OS

  • Surely the underlying cmd cli is still there even if the Terminal app wrapper is broken

  • Yessss

  • I think I like an alternative that uses full words instead of a string of no sense symbols and mixed case letters.

    Something like what What 3 Words does but for short URLs. That would be easy to convey and type
