3nm Zen 5 by 2024?

  • Goddammit, Kang. Stop messing with the inputs down there!

    • Alternative to Google Photos

    Jump

  • I tried to get Photoprism running on my unRAID server a while ago, but the setup was quite involved and I messed up a couple of steps. Ended up dusting off my old Synology DS412+ and running Moments on it. It's slow as hell (running on a 12 year old Atom processor and 4GB RAM) but it got me off of Google Photos.

    • Can Buses Run More Efficiently Without A Schedule? LA Metro Wants To Test It Out

    Jump

  • Where I live busses never keep to the time table anyway, so why bother having it at all?

    • Samsung confirms ‘slimmer and lighter’ Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5, teases tablets and watches

    Jump

  • On the other extreme, as someone with ginormous pockets but failing eyesight, I'm becoming more interested in the Fold.

    Not at $1,900 price point though. Looking at maybe picking up a Fold 3 on the used market.

    • Threads Usage Drops By Half From Initial Surge

    Jump

  • Why though? I'll never understand this. Wasn't Instagram already doing the same thing?

    Maybe I'm too old. Get off my lawn!

    • Problem setting up 2FA on beehaw.org

    Jump

  • Appreciate it. Added email to my account just in case, but I'm going to leave 2FA alone for now.

    • Clicking a comment should not collapse it.

    Jump

  • It'd be nice if the app remembered which comments I collapsed. It's quite annoying having all the comments expand back after I write a reply.

    • Which is the most satisfying IO connector system, in your opinion?

    Jump

  • This guy plugs!

    Seriously though. Those damn boots on RJ-45 cables are the bane of my homelab. Sure they protect the needlessly fragile prong on the connector, but have you tried unplugging a single cable from a full switch? I have to leave a pair of pliers next to mine for that. To hell with that! I'll take SFP over RJ45 any day!

    Special "Fuck You" to whoever invented micro-HDMI. Difficult to plug in, super easy to destroy. And for what? It's not that much smaller that full-size HDMI. I had to send in one (out of warranty) mirrorless camera for service because on that, and it was super expensive.

    • Discussion: What Android devices are you using?

    Jump
    • Both me and my wife have a Google Pixel 6 as our daily driver
    • My youngest son has a Galaxy Tab S6 tablet for games and YouTube.
    • My eldest used to have a Google Pixel 5a, but after he switched to an iPhone it's just sitting in a shelf as a backup phone just in case.
    • I have an Nvidia Shield TV (2019) in my living room as the streaming box.

    I love the customization and flexibility Android gives me. Also I can always unlock the phones and flash whatever 3rd-party OS I want. We're pretty content with the Pixels, but the tablet barely receives any updates anymore. Also fucking Apple's moronic green bubble vs blue bubble bullshit makes sharing photos and videos with family a needlessly complicated chore. I don't want to get off on a rant, but how has nobody taken them to court yet over this purposeful degradation of quality coming from competitors' hardware?!

    • What was the most surprising cameo in a movie or TV show?

  • RIP Arboghast

    • Discussion: How often do you clean up your app lists and what have you recently removed?

    Jump

  • I try to only install apps that I need. Of course my needs slowly change over time, and there bound to be some strugglers left behind.

    I don't have a scheduled spring cleaning, but when I scroll down the app drawer and notice an app I no longer use, I'll go on a short cleaning spree.

    Just today I replaced a faulty smart plug with a new one from another brand, so the corresponding app got the axe too.

    I'm doing my part to plug that hole in the ozone layer!

  • The only solution? Put more of it up there, of course!

    • Sarah Silverman and other authors are suing OpenAI and Meta for copyright infringement, alleging that they're training their LLMs on books via Library Genesis and Z-Library

    Jump

  • No, I'm saying this already actually happened. Some lawyer or paralegal used ChatGPT for a court case, and it referenced non-existent cases.

    Jump

  • if a human is allowed to write a summary of a book, why should an AI not be allowed to do the same thing?

    Said human presumably would have to purchase or borrow a book in order to read it, which earns the author some percentage of the profits. If giant corps want to use the books to train their LLMs, it's only fair that they'd have to negotiate with the publishers much like libraries do.

  • Micro-transactions in that one game I play.

    I can easily afford it, so it's not like I'm gambling away my family's savings or something. However... At $10-20 a pop they aren't so "micro" anymore. And I know it's bad that I'm encouraging this predatory tactic. The money probably doesn't even make it to the developers. But they're freakin' ships from Star Trek! I can't help myself.
