how do you figure out if it’s a plain data CD or there’s something extra on it too?

it seems you don’t know it either what is a photo album.
printing pictures does not solve the problem. the problem comes after printing them: you need to store them somewhere. and that’s what the album is for.
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 1 month ago:
and how unambiguous is it that those are AI generated content? is it like blurry colors on images, 6 fingers and 3 hands, or what do you recognize on them?
I think I can identify generated images, but text… well I can’t even decide. Probably I just can’t so far, because I don’t remember any posts or comments that were suspicious
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 1 month ago:
while dissing someone for not wanting AI in forums, for “not knowing what are they talking about”. right, they didn’t specify what kind of AI they don’t want, but I think it comes from the context that they don’t want generative AIs, because that’s what affects them negatively regularly
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 1 month ago:
I don’t see it, which is horrific considering that others do. can you show a few examples that you think is AI slop?
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 1 month ago:
let me get this straight. you like AI because a model outperformed another? how is that a real argument for any kind of question? the topic was not about whether they evolve.
that “black and white stance” is not really bad here, because it’s not actually black and white. their stance is against generative AI, not the kind you use for research. and guess what, forums are flooded by gen AI slop, the only kind of AI today that highly affects our forums.
- Comment on Why do “flagship” smartphone chips go out of fashion after just a year? 1 month ago:
I have not found an answer to this part:I realized I just quoted the first 3 paragraphs of the post, so lets stay at the clarification.
And to clarify what I don’t understand: each year flagship phone’s performance don’t seem to increase significantly. Regarding real world performance, not benchmarks.
That’s why the question is why don’t they keep the previous chipset until more meaningful gains. As OP suggested, they could either lower the price, or have more profit. Users would not feel the difference, and there’s plenty of other things the manufacturer can improve or experiment with.If the concern is that people would say “ah it’s the same chipset!” and they wouldnt buy it, then the manufacturer could just replace that with another one that has roughly the same cost and performance.

they wanted answers about phone design practices, not cheaper phones.

the software that’s a bit bloated, but it’s (usually) removable (and you could always install a custom ROM)
except if your government and all available banks practically restrict you from replacing the ROM, because then their apps refuse to work. you often can’t replace gov apps with the web browser because of the closed authentication system, and bank apps either because they routinely block mobile browsers, while the desktop view is unusable for most people
- Comment on Why do “flagship” smartphone chips go out of fashion after just a year? 1 month ago:
its like you are responding to a different question. you are speaking about cheap phones, while the question was about recent years flagship phones chipsets.
what is that so large difference between this years flagship chip, and yesteryears flagship chip? and the difference between yezteryears and the one before that?
is it really a large difference, like reviewers tell? it feels like comparing intel 12th gen and 13th gen CPUs and telling there is a large difference, the newer ones are so much better you need to get them IMMEDIATELY.again, the question is not about developments over a decade. bluetooth and gyroscope has been common for a decade now even in cheap phones.
and I find it amazing how hard they are locking down our phones, like as if it was still owned by the manufacturer, rented by the user. google is doing the most of the work to enable countries to forcibly lock in citizens to malware infested systems of the factory. it couldn’t have happened without something like play “protect”

- Comment on Why was file search much faster in Windows XP than in subsequent versions? 1 month ago:
I don’t think everything uses some kind of premade file index. Whenever I start up everything, it starts with indexing all my drives, one by one, churning them at 100% if I look at the task manager but everything even says so in the bottom left corner. it even stores hundreds of megabytes of that index in memory.
what it actually does, as I know, is that instead of going through the slower filesystem APIs, it first scans the MFT with its admin rights, and then listens for any changes through the usn journal. so it does quite some work, because afaik both of these are publicly undocumented, and then it even implenents a very quick search for the index that even supports pattern matching
