  • And those are the limitations created by the fact that email was never meant to be truly secure, not in the way we define and expect security and privacy nowadays at least.

  • Galaxy S23, sold many units and isn't a last gen device

  • Any compliant commercial service will share user data with authorities - you don't get to operate a company and skip local laws. That's a non argument.

    What's important is what "user details" they had on hand to share. If I create my service in such a way that I have zero data about you except some random useless string, I can "hand over all user data" to authorities and it would mean absolutely nothing for your privacy.

  • I totally understand why, but I dislike this trend of recommending Mint to newcomers. Cinnamon is very limited.

  • So what? I never said anything about multi frame generation.

    I'm talking about reception at launch on Reddit and Lemmy. This entire image is completely irrelevant to the point being made.

  • No, they're still all awful

    I don't disagree, but that's not my point at all

  • I was migrating from Google Photos to Ente a few days ago, and I needed to upgrade the storage specifically for the gigantic amount of cat photos I have. Some are taken in quick succession so they look almost identical. I will NOT be deleting them.

  • The feature was released with the 4000 series, not 5000.

  • I'm commenting on the contrast of attitude towards the feature when its made by Nvidia versus Lemmy's beloved AMD, not really on whether the feature is actually useful.

  • Lossless Scaling's implementation runs on leftover shader compute units, so it's hardware agnostic, but heavily limited in terms of latency and quality of the interpolation.

  • I love how when Nvidia announced frame generation Lemmy and Reddit were full of threads about how that's horrible and useless and the latency was too high.

    Then AMD and Lossless Scaling launch their own version, with significabtly higher latency, and suddenly its great you don't even notice the artifacts the latency isn't that bad trust me guys

  • I almost feel like there's some type of coordinated sabotage going on against Firefox.

    There's zero issues using the browser - performance, extensions and websites all work as expected.

    The "privacy scandals" were extremely overblown pieces of nothing, especially compared to what Brave, Chrome and Edge do.

    And yes there are a million reasons to criticize how Mozilla spends their money... But I don't see how that would mean somehow Firefox is bad for the user?

    Hell, Lemmy and Reddit (and "tech" YouTubers like Chris Titus) are so anti-Firefox and into hax0r l33t browsers that they heavily recommended a Chromium fork that turns out was maintained by a prepubescent boy hiding furry porn in the builds.

    I simply don't get it. Use Firefox, it works, it's private unless you're a major target like Snowden, it's fast, it's been around for over a decade and will be for a decade more.

  • You'd be surprised at how quickly you can become partially incapacitated due to dehydration in certain scenarios.

    Go out to a nice summer break in a sunny Brazilian beach, and if you're not careful with purposely drinking water, even when you don't feel like you need it, you might soon find yourself being carried by an emergency worker or friend.

  • It’s original Wii system cut-up and repackaged.

    The Wii board is fantastic for trimming. It sips power and can be trimmed to a specific shape that is tiny and still work. Pretty much any Wii portable or GameCube mod you see nowadays is a Wii board trimmed up, which is fantastic, because the Wii sold over a hundred million units whilst the GameCube did not.

    If you want a "homebrewed Wii system made with modern components" you're describing Dolphin running on any compute board. Those exist too.

  • My company actually desires that we use AI. If you fix a problem quickly and it works perfectly but you've done it manually... it's somehow worse than a colleague who took twice the amount of time and had a bad solution, but "generated by AI!"

  • Ah, I see we have a cultured scholar among us

  • Apple sources the worse lithium batteries known to man, they last a year and destroy themselves. I have no idea why you're bringing Apple to this discussion.

    I've dealt with Chinese devices with batteries that still worked fine six years after being bought.

  • nobody has to use an operating system made by an advertisement company.

    My device's bootloader can be unlocked in 5 minutes, yet it's not on any of these lists you shared

  • The difference is not my point at all.

    If my brother, at a very young age, had made the reasonable decision of pursuing higher education as a path in life, and due to a wide variety of circumstances is in financial trouble and I could help...

    Guess what, I'm helping. I do not give a fuck if there's a difference, my guy. And I also know my brother would stop in the middle of a career defining work meeting and come rescue me if I was in trouble.

    And I wouldn't trade that kind of relationship for your world view.
