Good point with that last bit, I have a gaming laptop that comes with a big DC Barrel plug and power brick, which is essentially needed for playing games. However, it also lets you charge with USB-C which is what I use when travelling/doing productive work. I see no reason why this approach can’t be applied more regularly, as it increases flexibility and maintains compatibility with the standard.

LukeMedia ,

I responded to someone else, but I have a gaming laptop that needs the DC Barrel plug for playing games, but also lets you charge it with USB-C (useful for traveling). That would meet the standard set forth, as it is compatible with USB-C charging.

LukeMedia ,

I do find it somewhat ironic how much they have embraced USB-C on laptops and tablets, yet were essentially forced to add to their phones.

This may not be a popular opinion, but I personally see no issue with this if the terms of service and use are made clear and transparent before you order the device. Would I personally recommend or use the product? Hell no, but people having an informed choice, and choosing to accept these terms is perfectly fine imo.

LukeMedia ,

I use navigation all the time, or have it up at least, for the live traffic updates. Very useful!

LukeMedia ,

Have you ever seen jumping spiders before? They’re actually adorable.

LukeMedia ,

Thank you for this, this was a really interesting read

“The Lord was with Joshua and his Triumph was heard throughout the land.” (Joshua 6:27)

I can’t remember which translation says “triumph,” most say “noise” instead.

LukeMedia ,

Triumph is a brand of motorcycle

When I worked at a grocery store, we had very cheap paper towels to absorb messes, and had to use a ton of them to actually clean up a mess. This is the part I never understood, you cheap out on the paper, now I have to use way more. Likely a multiple higher than how much cheaper it is. It’s only cheaper to buy, it’s very shortsighted.

Eventually they wised up and got us real, good paper towels. We used way, way less, and interestingly we only had good paper towels from that point forward.

Edit: Can’t forget to mention the extra labor costs with more time spent cleaning up a mess!

That’s an actual truck. Not an AI generated image. Source: Intel.

Though in general I do agree about AI generated article images, or lazy article images in general (AI or not). They’re fun to laugh at, though.

One of these days there’ll be an interview where Margot Robbie talks about her constant use of Lemmy

I always had the best luck with virtual desktop. Will have to give steam link a shot and see if that’s any better.

Earlier this week when I saw a post about it, I did end up getting a reddit thread which was interesting. It was partially hallucinating though, parts of the thread were verbatim, other parts were made up.

Sour patch kids are vegan, fun sized laffy taffy is vegan. The bigger laffy taffy isn’t vegan.

LukeMedia ,

Next!

LukeMedia ,

Oh, then not next.

Google Researchers’ Attack Prompts ChatGPT to Reveal Its Training Data (www.404media.co)

ChatGPT is full of sensitive private information and spits out verbatim text from CNN, Goodreads, WordPress blogs, fandom wikis, Terms of Service agreements, Stack Overflow source code, Wikipedia pages, news blogs, random internet comments, and much more.

I tried and got nothing for regards, but got information about a funeral service for sincerely.

LukeMedia , (edited )

I ended up getting a reddit thread from 3.5 with the word book, so it seems to me it’s not totally fixed yet. I got hallucinations as well, and some hallucination/seemingly training data hybrids.

Copyrighten is just how they say it out in the country.

“I dun been copyrighten all damn day”

Cost primarily. I’m okay with paying a little extra for glass bottles personally, I can reuse them.

LukeMedia ,

I love you, thanks for the fun fact, SharkFucker420!

LukeMedia ,

I like this, wholesome XKCD

LukeMedia ,

Best scene for sure

LukeMedia ,

Fairly minor correction, but photosynthesis is essentially the opposite of cellular respiration. Plants do respirate and release CO2, but their photosynthesis more than offsets their respiration.

LukeMedia ,

Late reply, respiration occurs in cells when they burn ATP energy, consuming Oxygen and producing Carbon Dioxide. Photosynthesis creates ATP rather than burn it. Plants will respirate and burn that ATP after it is created, but photosynthesis itself is not respiration. Hope you find this interesting!

Oh great, we get to have this whole song and dance again in January. Fun.

For more perspective, you’d need to make $100k/y net income tax. As a random example, in North Carolina with state and federal taxes, not accounting for any deductions, that’d be about $142k/y.

Adding this because with personal salaries people typically see and think of the gross number.

LukeMedia ,

Fun fact for you, many credit-card/debit-card chips alone are comparably powerful to the computers that sent us to the moon.

It’s mentioned a bit in this short article about how EMV chips are made. This summary of compute power does come from a company that manufactures EMV chips, so there is bias present.

I know this is the FED’s goal in the US including interest hikes (as well as lowering consumer spending, which remains quite high), are similar policies/goals being implemented in the UK as well? Not as familiar with their economy, or government control on their economy.

LukeMedia ,

That’s one of the issues with these business models, it’s hard to give a consumer something and then take it away later to turn a profit (enshittification).

LukeMedia ,

Even better if it doesn’t change it till you hit send

LukeMedia ,

I’m sorry but it would be too unbelievable. Unless I was going for barbie wife

LukeMedia ,

That’s very true, would definitely add to the shock and confusion!

LukeMedia ,

Well, this is certainly a shit-post

LukeMedia ,

How were they trying to justify that statement?

LukeMedia ,

Anecdotal, but I’ve never had a teacher tell me why Wikipedia wasn’t a good source. Similarly, I’ve never had a teacher educate students on how to properly use resources like Wikipedia as a starting point for sources. All my peers and I heard was “Wikipedia is bad, never use it, it’s not reliable, don’t trust anything from it.”

I wish I had been taught why and how earlier, but I had to learn why and how myself.

LukeMedia ,

Ah shit, time to keep on the lookout for an alternative I like, even though I was happy with what I had.

LukeMedia ,

I always get ants in my bathroom, there’s no sugar in my bathroom.

LukeMedia ,

It’s not often that I can saturate a 1Gbps line, unless you have a large household I don’t see much point in going over 1Gbps right now. Though I’m sure there are some exceptions.

LukeMedia ,

You could really change US to North America here

LukeMedia ,

Future proofing an Internet line doesn’t make much sense to me. If a higher speed plan is available, I’d just upgrade my plan if the need arises, save money in the meantime.

LukeMedia ,

Paying the same rate is certainly an instance where it makes since. Plus, you can show off to friends!

LukeMedia ,

Pretty sure it’s a joke about the placement, not a serious assessment

LukeMedia ,

Whether real or not, it is a joke about malicious compliance creating this funny placement. It could very well be real malicious compliance. That’s a very fitting place for this meme

Companies need to understand what I was told as a kid. Whatever you post on the public internet, is there for anyone to find and use. Trying to fight scraping means preventing your users from accessing the website as well
