The bloody lights everyone is obsessed with nowadays caused me numerous nights of shit sleep. Some devices designed by companies who clearly think too much of themselves decided that they would keep their LEDs on despite the computer shutting down.
If anyone else is experiencing this issue, look for ErP in your BIOS/EFI and then turn it on/enable it.
Caveat: you won't be able to charge your USB devices using your PC USB ports while the PC is shutdown if you change this setting.
Thanks. Just installed a new OS and I'm still working out the kinks. I had that extension installed previously but because it just works in the background I didn't even think to re-install it.

Ah, yes. Truly, I cannot argue against this impeccable logic. I am swayed.
I feel kind of lame saying so, but I just use Kate for taking notes.
I only realised it was supposed to be for editing code when it gave me a debug error when I wrote something with parentheses (what do you mean there's an error in line 43!? That sentence makes perfect sense!)
Speak for yourself. As an avid gamer I am excitedly looking towards the future of AI in games. Good models (with context buffers much longer than the .9s in this demo) have the potential to revolutionise the gaming industry.
I really don't understand the amount of LLM/AI hate in Lemmy. It is a tool with many potential uses.
I take posts like these as an opportunity to block people who spam Lemmy with stupid nonsense. I'm heartened to know I won't ever see a post by this person ever again.
Speaking of accuracy, your comment seems to identify the wrong issue. Navigating the install menus in a non-Arch linux distro is pretty much analogous to Windows. The biggest difference is that Linux distros don't have 3-4 pages where they sneakily try to include privacy-breaching clauses during the installation.
The real issue is starting the installation in the first place. Windows is easy, because hardware manufacturer's have en masse bent over to willingly present themselves to Microsoft, Linux doesn't have this advantage and users must figure out how to get around the 7,000 different Secure Boot UEFI configurations before they can even start the installation process.
I can't think of a single VR game that has come out that felt like a fully fleshed out game. The games I've played the most have all been ports (e.g. Borderlands 2, Skyrim, Fallout 4, The Forest) because native VR games are typically only 3-6 hours long.
Meta really make it annoying to use too. My next headset will definitely not be a Meta.
The current model has its own issues. The amount of series that are cancelled after the first or second season is ludicrous. Also, and I'm not sure if it's related to streaming or the constant writer's strikes, but series have reduced from 16-26 episodes per season from the height of the piracy-era to 6-10 nowadays.
If the reduction in piracy led to this deterioration in quality, then I can't imagine it could get any worse if everyone started pirating again.
Personally, I reckon it will incentivise the numbskulls in charge that no one is going to pay for 48 separate streaming services and they'll be forced to adapt (likely via packaging/merging streaming services together).
I'd say there are probably as many genuine use-cases for AI as there are people in denial that AI has genuine use-cases.
Top of my head:
Text editing. Write something (e.g. e-mails, websites, novels, even code) and have an LLM rewrite it to suit a specific tone and identify errors.
Creative art. You claim generative AI art is soulless and poor quality, to me, that indicates a lack of familiarity with what generative AI is capable of. There are tools to create entire songs from scratch, replace the voice of one artist with another, remove unwanted background noise from songs, improve the quality of old songs, separate/add vocal tracks to music, turn 2d models into 3d models, create images from text, convert simple images into complex images, fill in missing details from images, upscale and colourise images, separate foregrounds from backgrounds.
Note taking and summarisation (e.g. summarising meeting minutes or summarising a conversation or events that occur).
Video games. Imagine the replay value of a video game if every time you play there are different quests, maps, NPCs, unexpected twists, and different puzzles? The technology isn't developed enough for this at the moment, but I think this is something we will see in the coming years. Some games (Skyrim and Fallout 4 come to mind) have a mod that gives each NPC AI generated dialogue that takes into account the NPC's personality and history.
Real time assistance for a variety of tasks. Consider a call centre environment as one example, a model can be optimised to evaluate calls based on language and empathy and correctness of information. A model could be set up with a call centre's knowledge base that listens to the call and locates information based on a caller's enquiry and tells an agent where the information is located (or even suggests what to say, though this is currently prone to hallucination).

Absolute stupidity and a waste of taxpayers' money spending so much time on this nonsense.
These incompetent morons are pretty much guaranteeing that they will lose the next election. In the middle of a housing and inflation crisis this is what these fuckheads decided was important.
I loathe the opposition, but it's hard to defend the sheer incompetence the Labor Party has displayed their entire term.
Unless the fan has a separate battery back up (which would be very weird) then this should not matter if you enable ErP.
AFAIK enabling ErP will shut off power to all components when the computer is turned off. Good luck!
