Don’t forget there was a language change there as well.

Actually come to think of it, I bet there’s something on the Enterprise that still runs COBOL.

Possibly, but none of those bought judges matter unless it ends up in their specific court. That’s why they’ve been trying to install as many of their own as possible.

You just know that’s going to be exhibit 1 for the defense.

Fucking fascist Nazi man baby doesn’t like when advertisers do what he tells them, and then continues to do so when he realizes that was a bad idea.

There are plenty of step-by-step guides to run Deepseek locally. Hell, someone even had it running on a Raspberry Pi. It seems to be much more efficient than other current alternatives.

That’s about as openly available to self host as you can get without a 1-button installer.

Nvidia doesn’t give a shit about gamers anymore. The incremental improvements are a side effect. This is why they’re so focused on software enhancements instead like DLSS now. It gives them the marketing numbers without having to do the hardware improvements for gaming.

Their bread and butter now is AI, and large scale machine learning. Where businesses are buying thousands of cards at a time. It’s also why they’re so stingy with VRAM on their cards, large amounts on VRAM are not as necessary for most workloads outside gaming now, and it saves them millions of dollars every generation.

Of course not. Trump’s source of the US being “overcharged” is that they’re having to pay at all.

Get in the game with inexpensive options, grow the business and reinvest profits to both expand and increase quality. The exact opposite of what we see with large companies once they hit the top of their respective markets.

Their charging and cable products are awesome and still a decent price. That’s not to say Anker is perfect. They straight up lied about their Eufy security cameras. Sending unencrypted streams back to Eufy despite claims of offline local data storage.

I mean company backs pro-company party isn’t exactly surprising. You want to not shop at every company that supports Republicans? You’re going to have a hard time finding anywhere to shop in most of the US. Gotta stick to smaller companies, and if you get small enough you’ll get to mom and pop locations where personal votes are the comparison and they’ve voted Republican their entire lives.

I’m also on Lemmy blahaj which don’t know if that matters

It does. If your home instance blocks other instances then you’ll never see their posts, regardless of your settings.

I don’t believe there’s a native way to see these blocks in Lemmy, you’d have to look at a third party site that tracks that sort of thing.

First rule, always have backups. Especially with an older drive, make sure anything you might need is duplicated somewhere else. Ideally off-site to prevent loss in case of things like burglary or a fire. Even something as simple as Google Drive or OneDrive.

Personally, I’d take a look at replacing it with an SSD if you can afford to, not only because of the age, but better performance. You may not notice slowness, but making the jump from a HDD to an SSD is still at least a little noticeable even on secondary drives from my experience.

Especially if they’re using outside talent. Hiring a graphical artist for article images is common.

Some of those artists will obviously be using AI to some extent now. There is a skill curve to getting AI generators to provide useful outputs. Whether that’s to generate a unique base to work from, or to fill an environment quickly, etc.

Some artists use it sparingly to add to their traditional skills, others use it as a crutch, and some people are just liars trying to make a quick buck by submitting pure AI slop. If it is used for assistance minimally, as it should for something like this, it will be hard to see since it would be used in places that aren’t the focus anyway.

It’s up to the end customer to determine what amount of AI assistance they’re willing to accept, and zero is a completely valid option. And that’s what should be submitted. In this modern AI art era that’s guaranteed to be part of their graphical contracts.

Fascinating… Not sure I’ve ever met any one that legitimately doesn’t know what a file folder is. They still had a crap ton of them for sale the last time I was in an office supply aisle shopping for school stuff.

Out of curiosity do you know what the Save icon represents?

EVs don’t use the brakes nearly as much as regular ICE vehicles. Regenerative braking can provide nearly every bit of braking necessary for everyday driving.

See you say no apocalyptic event, but we’ve done almost nothing to slow climate change, and that will destroy humanity in less than a century much better than we can directly do ourselves. The event has already started, and we’re ignoring it.

In universe it’s supposed to like strengthen cell membranes.

Since a lot of issues stem from cell membranes being pierced, damaged, etc. that should be fairly generally effective. Especially as a first step to try against an unknown.

Did they? Or did Apple and Google pull the app because the law went into affect today and Trump isn’t actually president yet. All they had at the beginning of the day was a one day promise from Biden to not enforce it.

That won’t stop Apple and Google from keeping it pulled from app stores until things are more concrete.

TikTok only blocked access and put that notice up in the app after their partners decided that a statement from the outgoing administration 24 before the transition wasn’t enough for them to not comply with the law.

No it won’t. Biden is already out of office as far as normies are concerned. He has been since the election, but definitely within 24 hours of inauguration. TikTok stops working and the next thing they see is Trump having a huge party with a shit ton of pomp and circumstance for his inauguration as he gets into the White House. And then TikTok still doesn’t work when they open it up. Maybe he brings it back, maybe he doesn’t. Voters don’t pay enough attention to separate his inauguration and the TikTok ban happening 24 hours apart, they’ll bundle it together as one event.

Unless he gets a massive cash infusion from Bytedance in the next 24 hours, he won’t give TikTok an extension on day one in office. He’s the kind of person that expects his payment up front.

So everyone will instead see it stop working as President Trump takes over, and then it continuing to not work after. Some may give him the benefit of the doubt, but they weren’t ever going to vote for anyone else anyway, he’s their God Emperor President and they’ve confirmed their world view around him being perfect.

Heck, he might try to spin it as some sort of promotional opportunity for Truth Social.

Not sure why you think it’s an own goal. Biden didn’t set the day for it to take effect, that was written into the law by Congress. You could say it was an own goal because Biden announced he wasn’t going to enforce it, but that seems to be the opposite of what you’re trting to claim And even with that decision to not enforce the law for 1 day before the Trump admin takes over, none of the companies TikTok works with like Apple or Google to list it in the app stores gave a shit about that lack of enforcement because of the uncertainty.

Not to mention Trump being the start of the ban in the first place. He was President when all of this started to work it’s way through the process, even if Biden was the President when it actually made it through Congress, with bipartisan support. Trump only changed positions because he wants TokTok to pay him to continue to allow it to continue.

It’s gotten to the point where you need to have an attorney on retainer just to get real answers from these companies. Instead of saying you’ll get an attorney to the underpaid customer service rep with no power who can’t care less and people threaten legal actions with no follow through constantly… an actual attorney sending a letter calling the company out for their failure to address your issues gets you put into a separate system where they know you actually have representation they want to avoid.

Those monthly retainer services are surprisingly cheap too if you just need something verified or a notice sent once in a while. Many companies even offer discounted legal retainer services as part of their benefits packages.
