• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Is Too Expensive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think AI is a huge red herring for a lot of the massive layoffs we have seen. this is class warfare masquerading as a technological shift but I dont trust for a second most of these CEOs believe what they are saying (the dumbs ones for sure do).

  I enjoyed CIV V with Brave New World and went to CIV VI when gathering storm was released. is VII ok as it is or should I wait until an expansion fixes most issues and adds additional mechanics?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite trek scenes?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the Ceti eels scene in Wrath of Khan

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nobody understands the point of hybrid cars⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s the opposite. plugin hybrid have consistently been demonstrated to be way less efficient than advertised. (in part because of how they works in part because of how people use them)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nobody understands the point of hybrid cars⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  what’s the relation with my corolla?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nobody understands the point of hybrid cars⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I also used to think hybrids were probably too complex, but 5years ago after checking in how ecvt works I got a corolla station wagon (US doesn’t get it. your loss) hybrid an I really like it. it gives me 4.7l/100km and moves super smooth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google says 75% of the company's new code is AI-generated⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m convinced that is a generated metric that is far away from reality. the objective is too make their product seem better than it is

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't non-selfhosed AI models/apps private?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  you ask the user for it if they want to recover the account and hash it. if the hash matches your previously stored hash then you send the email

  other providers that position themselves as secure for activists or journalists do exactly that and they cannot handle that information

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't non-selfhosed AI models/apps private?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  in that particular case the people involved were identified through their recovery email which they did not hash like ‘safe’ other providers do. they have positioned themselves as safe even for activist and journalists and have failed to deliver in that account consistently.

  no surprise since their CEO is a MAGA guy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't non-selfhosed AI models/apps private?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  there has been in the news several instances where proton has given to law enforcements information that have hold onto. in some cases regarding journalists.

  their answer is always “ah, yeah. we do keep that one, but not the other data”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The EU requires phone makers to fit 'readily removable' batteries from next year — but there may be a notable exception⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  and even with that, recent iphones are way easier to repair than a few years ago. I would not say anyone can do it, but it’s definitely easier than before when you basically had to disassemble the whole thing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tim Cook to step down as CEO of Apple: ‘the greatest privilege of my life’⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  you could say he was there enough time to let a new ceo step in without all that baggage.

  they said Tim will continue his job lobbying working with governments while Ternus runs the company

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar is winning the energy race - The world’s cheapest power source is scaling at warp speed, pushing coal, gas and nuclear aside⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  that is an absurdly high price for energy. I pay on average between 20 and 30 euro cent per kwh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The US government just banned consumer routers made outside the US⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There is also the possibility that Pumpkin Harkonnen just wants some ‘donations’ to provide individual exceptions to brands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Just Patented The End Of Your Website⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  while this sounds awful. there is little correlation between patents and actual features. companies patent whatever they can. it mean little if it is a good idea or not. they just want the largest possible patent portfolio.

  phones don’t run at 400V, at higher voltage you need lower amperage to push the same energy

  unfortunately they need to make sure they explain why discovery is not there every single time because if not a bunch of losers would review blob it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x09 "300th Night"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  a detailed I liked is that brakes told he had a gift for the federation with a big red bow. looking at the mine ring of image mines. It is clear he meant that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Trek has more to offer or it has to end and stop producing more content?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  honestly, don’t watch star trek content on youtube. it’s full of haters. for some reason it seems like podcasts have a higher percentage of people who are not into performative hatred.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x08 “The Life of the Stars”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  great episode. I do wish the actress who plays Tarima was better acting. I think her scenes were the weakest

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  it is also the series that had to define what Trek was in current times. It took it a few seasons and the later shows used a lot of that lessons. it might had a lot of problems, but I dont think it was for a lack of trying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Western Digital is already sold out of hard drives for all of 2026 — chief says some long-term agreements for 2027 and 2028 already in place⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  starfleet believes in self determination and so do we. if you don’t think you are, that is fine. if you do, also great. enjoy the shows.
