If they somehow succeed, that’s how you know you’ve found a keeper.

Because people would go “That’s just 2001: A Space Odyssey”

Although a lot of paywall sites are smart enough to only load part of the text, or only load it with a “show more” button, which would also break if you disable JavaScript.

Or when the network that the car relies on no longer exists. My old e-reader’s mobile connectivity no longer works because the phone company providing the service turned the 3G network off in the upgrade to 4G.

It’s just 17 years old. People tend to keep cars for about that long. What happens then? Does it just become limited to basics only, or become a big metal brick?

A car is also difficult to ignore, compared to something smaller.

A small expensive device that stopped working because the company shut it down is annoying, but you can at least put it to the side and ignore it.

You can’t really do that to a car that has functionally become a paperweight because the parent company has gone under.

A few car companies seem to be doing that. Toyota(?) here are advertising their hybrid vehicles as “self-charging electric vehicles” instead of a hybrid, even though there’s no way to plug them in and not have them self charge.

These days, the CPU probably runs Linux on itself.

Storage drive control boards are basically small computers in their own right, now.

Ironically, it’s the other way around, since Apple has to share their RAM between GPU and CPU, where other computers typically have them separately.

So in normal usage with 8 GB, you’re automatically down to 7, since at least 1GB would be taken by the graphics card. More if you’re doing anything reasonably graphics-heavy with it.

Yes. Just as 4GB was barely enough a decade ago.

I usually find myself either capping out the 8GB of RAM on my laptop, or getting close to it if I have Firefox, Discord and a word processor open. Especially if I have Youtube or Spotify going.

It’s not so bad. You can just treat it as the dimming of the lights/countdown timer you see in theatres, in the lead-in of the film.

Does this also affect Chromium, or is it just Google Chrome?

The article mentions it being affecting Google Chrome through Chromium, but it’s not clear if it also affects Chromium on its own, or other Chromium-based browsers.

I don’t think that’s how you’re meant to use a WHERE.

Higher cycle life might also make it good for hybrids, since they cycle their batteries a fair bit.

It’s out for a while, but people find it to be not as good as the first game.

Because I was only aware of Intel (and Apple) doing it on computers, whereas most major flagship mobile devices have those accelerators now.

GPUs were excluded, since they’re not as universal as processors are. A dedicated video card is still by and large considered an enthusiast part.

Fediverse is very tech inclined, like Reddit is. So there’s a higher proportion of tech Bros compared to places like Tumblr.

It’s arguably worse, since it seems to be more pervasive than crypto and NFTs were at their peak.

Crypto never really hit the mainstream, and even NFTs were still fringe. Whereas AI and AI accelerators are packed into basically every new phone and (Intel) processor.

Military would be fine, because they don’t tend to update very frequently, if at all. If it works, that’s the way it will stay, and the recent controversy wouldn’t exactly encourage them to do so.

What about its use in a company that has extremely valuable trade secrets that need to be kept that way?

Same way the LLM debacle has currently gone, where people will just throw sensitive information into it with abandon. At least one major tech company has penalised workers for doing that with ChatGPT.

If there’s a group policy to turn it off, maybe, but Microsoft might just not have one, or it’ll need to be disabled every update.

The loophole is that they aren’t paid that amount in maximum wage anyway. The actual wage is some degree of modest. They just get paid in bonuses and stock options, which don’t count for one reason or another.

Or at least, for introductions.

Probably fine once dialogue is established.
