  • ChatGPT spends 'tens of millions of dollars' on people saying 'please' and 'thank you', but Sam Altman says it's worth it

    Jump

  • Me too. If Chatgpt is like this, it won't be as controversial as Google's glue pizza.

  • Why indeed

    Jump

  • 1 reason is that they want as much data as possible. They sell the user data. Or they use the user data to improve their targeted advertising. They want more ad clicks.

    Re app versus site, many know how to block ads on browsers. With an app, the firm is hoping they can show you ads. Ads can be removed from some apps but the layperson doesn't know.

  • What’s the most overhyped tech trend right now?

    Jump

  • Phones are like 💻 now. The year-to-year improvements are tiny. Some factors related to this –

    At least for folks like me who sometimes read re chips, chip improvements are 👍. But big year-to-year improvements are probably hard. If it was easy, Apple or Qualcomm may have already designed a chip that was 2 or 3 times faster than the old 1.

    So hard to have a clean implementation of under-screen cam and face recognition sensors. Hence, hole punch. Samsung fold has an under-screen front cam but the implemention wasn't clean and the pic quality is below average.

    So hard to make a 🔋 that's 2 or 3 times better than the old 🔋. The tech world has been so hungry for a 🔋 innovation for a long time. There was optimism re graphene. Idk if it'll succeed in mass production.

  • iFixit wants to fix the soldering iron

    Jump

  • A traditional soldering iron in my nation costs about PHP 450 (about USD 7.95). The portability, accelerometer, temp control, easy repair and the ability to solder while charging a phone are 👍, but USD 250 is so high.

  • What Browser do you use on Android, and why?

    Jump

  • Ublock origin – best ad blocker

    Aside from Firefox + Ublock origin, I have Firefox focus. Its ad blocker has let thru disappointingly many ads.

  • It's the little things that keeps me around

    Jump

  • Been using my Samsung a70 for almost 3 years and I knew re touch sensitivity only lately. I don't want scratches on my screen so I've always wanted a tempered-glass protector. I'm on my 3rd tempered glass.

  • Google Play Store requesting location permission to show 'local recommendations'

    Jump

  • I've noticed that more and more apps are requesting my location. 😑

  • Yes, it doesn't mean much if the fine is 0.0001% of Android's $.

  • What are your favourite extensions?

    Jump

  • Sponsorblock's been epic! Props to the coder and the contributors.

  • Why is Firefox getting involved in ads? 💵? To reduce their dependence on Google's payment for keeping Google as the default search engine?

  • Real estate investment scam. I wonder if Coffeezilla is working on it.

    That Bill Burr clip was 👍. Dogpack has 👍 taste.

  • Microsoft boosts Windows’ FAT32 partition size limit after nearly three decades

  • Exfat if you wanna use your usb drive on Macos or Linux.

    I have Windows so I'm OK with Ntfs.

  • Microsoft boosts Windows’ FAT32 partition size limit after nearly three decades

    Jump

  • About 10 years ago, my usb drive was Fat32 by default. I changed it to Ntfs due to Fat32's 4-GB cap, which I've disliked. I'm still using Ntfs.

  • Exploring Emerging Tech

    Jump

  • I'm awaiting the day a firm makes a practical quantum computer. I'll be stoked on that day. Idk how folks will write programs for it or if the idea of "program" will apply to it at all. Will it make things faster? Like compiling code or frames per second in gaming?

  • Bronze Age technology could aid switch to clean energy

    Jump

  • 👍 article. Firebricks may accelerate our transition to sustainable energy.

  • Does anyone know what happened to the Surface Duo?

    Jump

  • Was the tablet's touchscreen as responsive as iPad's? What was the operating system? If Windows, I can see how it failed. Previous versions of Windows were mouse-and-keyboard-first. I think Windows 8 was the 1st to truly consider touch and iPados was still better.

    Microsoft had an Arm Surface device a few years ago. It had a 💩 chip.

  • I Worked For MrBeast, He's A Sociopath

    Jump

  • If he did conduct illegal lotteries, what a 💩 way to treat your viewers, many of whom were kids, seemingly. He said something like "The 10th buyer in the next 5 min will win 30000." right? Did those winners get their prizes? If no, it was a scam.

    The 💤 deprivation was inhuman. The running thing was cruel.
