Google Fi also includes a VPN, I wonder if that’s going as well?

Buelldozer , to technology in Amazon Prime Video won't offer Dolby Vision and Atmos on its ad-supported plan | The company is now facing a lawsuit over its decision to charge $3 more for ad-free viewing.
@Buelldozer@lemmy.today avatar

I don’t regularly watch anything on APV so this specific action doesn’t really effect me -but- the uninhibited profit seeking by the Entertainment Industry is out of control. As a high income household we’ve silently absorbed the rate hikes and content splitting in order to keep enjoying content but the latest industry moves around account sharing and charging extra for basic stuff is getting to be too much. The former because I’ve got kids in College and I shouldn’t have to pay for extra"accounts, even with Student Discounts, so they can watch things and I definitely shouldn’t have to pay for simple add-ons like HD, Vision, and Atmos!

I’m lucky enough to be able to stand up a Media Server (Plex in my case) and am currently integrating that with “Arrr” services so I can hop off this carousel of rent-seeking insanity.

veeesix , to technology in Tesla is recalling 1.62 million vehicles in China over autopilot safety controls
@veeesix@lemmy.ca avatar

There’s got to be another way to describe this than as a “recall”. New buyers seeing the term “recall” could shake their confidence in the EV industry as a whole and needlessly perpetuate the sale of ICE vehicles.

People said the same thing recently when Tesla was required to do an OTA update in the US. The thing is that while they don’t have to physically work on each vehicle, it’s labeled a recall because it’s a regulatory action that compelled them to do it. Tesla didn’t decide to do these updates on their own - they were directed to do so by the government, first in the US and now in China.

danielfgom , to technology in Google admits that a Gemini AI demo video was staged
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

That’s not quite correct. It says it wasn’t real time because the guy was typing his questions, not speaking them.

However the responses from the AI were all correct. Maybe just not as fast. Maybe it took a few seconds to respond, but that is acceptable at this stage.

They wanted to show you how amazing it really is, and could be if it were hooked up to speech recognition and was able to resolve quicker. Which one day will be the case.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

The prompts were also different

lemmyingly ,

Visit Gemini’s webpage, there are links to Google blogs that show exactly what the prompts and responses actually were.

nutsack , to technology in Inside the 'arms race' between YouTube and ad blockers / Against all odds, open source hackers keep outfoxing one of the wealthiest companies.

as soon as they start doing some sort of client verification it’s over for ad blockers

sparr ,

They can’t afford to do anything that would lose them a large slice of viewers. Same reason websites still support IE.

nutsack ,

they would mostly be losing the ad blocking viewers though, right?

gian ,

Yes, but the point their are trying to make is to gain the adblocking users, not lose them. They need more people to watch the ads, not less people to watch YT.

nutsack ,

i imagine many of them are addicted to youtube and would watch ads

gian ,

Not sure about that, but it would be interesting to have some real number and not the ones from Google or the adblockers

singron ,

It’s funny you mention that since YouTube led the web in dropping support for IE 6: blog.chriszacharias.com/a-conspiracy-to-kill-ie6

That kind of thing isn’t quite in their DNA anymore, but you never know.

gian ,

As it is over for YT, probably.
