Because it is analog. There are no buffers or anything in between. Your PC sends the image data in analog throug VGA pixel by pixel. These pixels are projected instantly in the requested color on the screen.

B0rax ,

Well yes, the speed of light in this case.

In the article it says it is 5% of their global revenue each day. That is a lot of money, I have no doubt that they will fix it.

Never buy .xyz

I just wanted to post this here because I want to help you all and hurt gen.xyz as much as possible. I had a .xyz domain through njal.la which I used to host jellyfin, homeassistant, and other basic things for friends and family. My domain recently became inaccessible without any notice. After a while of troubleshooting, I found...

Look for Windows LTSC (long term support channel) it is bot sold to private customers, but it doesn’t have all that crap nobody wants.

'LLM-free' is the new '100% organic' - Creators Are Fighting AI Anxiety With an ‘LLM-Free’ Movement (www.theatlantic.com)

As soon as Apple announced its plans to inject generative AI into the iPhone, it was as good as official: The technology is now all but unavoidable. Large language models will soon lurk on most of the world’s smartphones, generating images and text in messaging and email apps. AI has already colonized web search, appearing in...

It is already used in porn. I have heard that there is at least one quite active Lemmy community about it.

Not everyone is following gossip…

They don’t even need to built a separate app if they have an iPad app. they just need to not „not allow“ the execution on macOS.

B0rax ,

A task could also be, carrying a box from point A to point B. Walk back, repeat.

Why would you give gps access to your insurance company?

B0rax ,

Ha, interesting. I buy my harddrives second hand. They are backed up. If one fails, I swap in a new one. I don’t care if my server is down for a day. That’s what my backup Pi-hole is for.

B0rax ,

The question is, what do you want to host? Audiobooks? A webpage? How about a pinhole + vpn for ad blocking? Your own wiki? A task tracker? A meal planner?

B0rax ,

Blender is not a CAD tool. And it’s not trying to be.

B0rax ,

They try to make the job as easy as possible, so no training is required and literally anybody could do the work. That way they don’t need any skilled labor at all.

B0rax ,

In some ways, yes. They aren’t susceptible to political propaganda for example.

Microsoft violates children’s privacy – but blames your local school (noyb.eu)

In the wake of the pandemic, schools in the European Union have increasingly begun to implement digital services for online learning. While these modernisation efforts are a welcome development, a small number of big tech companies immediately tried to dominate the space – often with the intention of getting children used to...

B0rax ,

Microsoft 365 is the easy solution. Schools usually don’t have the people and/or the Know-how to implement alternative, well working, solutions.

I like my HPE microserver gen10+

Although it does not come with a GPU by default, but you can install a low power one.

Why do all these phone manufacturers get intentionally worse every year in terms of repairability?

BOINC 8.0.2 major release is available for Android, Linux, MacOS and Windows

BOINC is a platform for volunteer computing. Scientists at universities around the world use it to process computationally intensive datasets (sky surveys, protein folding, etc) for FREE using the computers of volunteers. Volunteers get to contribute to cutting-edge research and put their hardware to good use. This is a major...

Makes a good hand warmer in winter I guess.

Carbon steel is literally a type of metal. If you write „carbon free steel“ it is not surprising if it confuses people.

Home entertainment with NAS?

Hi! My goal: I want to set up a beamer projector in my flat and connect that to some kind of ‘always on’ machine with which I can stream (currently Netflix a bit but that really is not a priority as I am thinking of cancelling it) but would also like it to be a torrent client (I have a VPN) to download some media. Though...

B0rax ,

The German language is strange like that… often using English words for an entirely different meaning.

B0rax ,

If you buy the track on iTunes, you should be able to download it as a drm free m4a file which should work fine on your android.

/edit: although that may not be the option you are looking for.

B0rax ,

You don’t allow location and are surprised that it does not know you location? Am I missing something here? Why is that surprising?

B0rax ,

Buy two tickets for the same plane. One with your credentials and one with a fake name.

Have them think you didn’t go to that place, but actually go there.

B0rax ,

? No. Make it Linux. Android is not a desktop operating system.

Can I refuse MS Authenticator?

So my company decided to migrate office suite and email etc to Microsoft365. Whatever. But for 2FA login they decided to disable the option to choose “any authenticator” and force Microsoft Authenticator on the (private) phones of both employees and volunteers. Is there any valid reason why they would do this, like it’s...

He said he wants to use mfa, but a normal generated token instead of the Microsoft one.

B0rax ,

If you want thick, have you looked at the Panasonic Toughbooks? They are expensive though…

Besides that, what usecase do you have?

B0rax ,

More battery is not really an argument for most people… thin laptops like a MacBook Air last 8h easily on battery.

B0rax ,

Yes, if it grows large enough, the bots will come.

B0rax ,

To be honest, current batteries are already designed to last over 10 years. And with them charging at over 100kW, a 15min break every 3h of travel is all you really need (and you should do anyway for you own sanity).

I agree that people are anxious because of these reasons, but just because they have never really tried long range travel with an EV.

B0rax ,

Mm it especially talks about sensing, I don’t think I want the theme park to know my heart rate or other vital signs.

Could be useful for hospitals for example.

B0rax ,

There is a matrix channel where the admin is answering from time to time. But he is currently very occupied with real life stuff. And he is also the backup admin, as the original admin is currently on a workation on the other side of the globe and seems to be unreachable…

B0rax ,

Even this Lemmy thread has more participants than the survey

B0rax ,

Depending on your country, Spotify has a lot. Download it with zotify. No need for a premium account

B0rax ,

I guess it will be like it was before, that there is a different version of windows for these use cases. Like Windows LTSC.

Not only performance but Software Support. Let’s see if they can do what Apple did and have virtually all software running on arm

While 10bn is quite a bit of money, compared to his wealth, it is not thaat much.

Other people donate more than that share of their wealth quite often.

Purple, yellow, pink, light blue, …

Don’t forget that they are huge, you could fit a lot of solar power on them, given that it would be light enough

B0rax ,

To be honest, if someone thought that public things on the internet are not getting scraped, I am not sure what to tell them… Search engines have been doing it since the beginning of search engines, it is no wonder that the same would be done to train AI.

B0rax ,

The „make you bed every day“ advice certainly goes in that direction.

B0rax ,

What are you on about? From my understanding all the people you mentioned ARE considered part of that description

B0rax ,

These vehicles can do much more. They usually have cameras (some are even required by law). Most of them are always connected to the internet, they could intercept and disturb communications.

This is true for most modern cars.

B0rax ,

You are not completely right. 1 C means it can (theoretically) be charged in 1h. Regardless of the capacity.

10 C means it can be charged in 1/10th of an hour.

To get the maximum current, multiply the capacity by the C rating.

You mean just the text to speech part? Look into Piper
