  I tried to make sure it got quoted by my app doesn’t do well with copying the user so I did it this way so people would know it certainly wasn’t me who saw the flaw.

  If it helps UFD tech on YouTube also reported off the Tom’s Guide article, spouting the same flawed data as the headline.

  Someone else already explained (after watching the video) why this test is flawed.

  "This is purely from a broken test. Watch the video and you’ll see that its not testing with the same power limits.

  17w tests are actually 16w vs 20w+ and 35w test is 25w vs 35w

  This leads to drastically higher clock speeds on both cpu and gpu as seen in the video and thus higher fps (and power draw, so lower battery life)

  So basically, Open AI is upset that Musk sued to prevent them becoming a for profit company, and they’re upset that so many tiny non-profit companies are opposing them for various reasons. So they have decided to subpoena and or sue all those tiny non-profits under the ‘assumption’ that they must be funded but Musk in order to further his opposition to the company and their for profit plans. And intimidate these small non-profits, which kills two birds with one stone.

  I need to figure out how to do that because I’ve been manually refreshing if I need to and keeping the refresh rate somewhere in the middle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Full Story of BOOX: How a Chinese Startup Revolutionized the Global E-Reader Market⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I own the Boox Tab Mini C. It’s fine for reading ebooks. The screen refresh isn’t really fast enough for a lot of apps , especially apps with pictures or things other than text. This causes a lot of artifacting.

  You can read news papers, magazines, ebooks, and comics and it’s fine for that although I think perhaps would be better without the color e-ink for most things. If it had a color setting and a grey scale setting I’d like that.

  But it makes the page illegible if you scroll for too long otherwise, so stuff you would use it for like reading web pages get progressively more difficult the longer you scroll.

  I think the size is good and I also think you’re likely to have the same problem on a Kindle to some extent.

  Additionally, it is android but it doesn’t natively come with a lot of android apps you might be used to. You can remove some of the apps but it’s not as easy as just going to the app store and deleting them.

  It’s nice to see this kind of thing in person before you buy it.

  I recommend buying it from a store where you can return it if you don’t like it.

  I’m honestly not sure (given the price the cable likely adds to the price of the device vs the quality/longevity of the cable) that I want it. Apple has been notorious for selling their charging cables at a premium while making them basically as cheaply as possibly. Other companies have literally made their brand on being better than the OEM cables and chargers you get with devices.

  Other phone manufacturers aren’t exempt from the phone cable failure thing either. It’s crazy to me that they were allowed to sell such shoddy accessories in the first place.

  When you add in the ways that countries are trying to cut down on e-waste I can’t say I’m surprised.

  So, let me get this straight. Spotify uses AI, is developing AI and is allowing (and possibly seeding the platform with) AI generated music.

  And the company [Spotify] is upset that the users are downloading their own data and putting in it trust in a collective for the purposes of selling it to an AI company to analyze?

  And Spotify made it part of their TOS that you have the right to download your own data as a user, but also made it part of the TOS that you can’t use the data you own to train AI (which only makes sense if you don’t own your data).

  Have I got this is right?

  lemmy.world/comment/18865484 Your welcome to read my other comment, but I doubt you are knowledgeable about this subject.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you are woried about the swap I’m sure care exaust and tires particles which are know to damage environement a lot. Trains are electric so at least polution will be localized near power plants and thoose can be eventualy replaced by renewables.<

  Okay. So firstly, “the swamp” is an important and endangered part of the environment. It absorbs flood water and run off, it is a sink for greenhouse gasses, it absorbs a lot of the toxic pollution from cars including exhaust particles and the shed particles from tires. In Florida and Georgia specifically, flooding is a major factor in the civil engineering and design of roadways and population centers, and the elevation is mostly at or below sea level. Both of these states are prone to weather patterns that lead to storms, hurricanes, and tornados.

  There is 4 lanes, you can remove one or two and set train tracks which don’t have a lot of constraints compared to cars due to train wheel being steel and having better adherence.<

  So we’re not just talking about one set of rail on I95?

  I’m going to preface what I say next with two points. There is already a rail system down the East Coast (including the east coast of Georgia and Florida), with an Amtrak line that runs stops between Georgia and Orland Florida. Two, at least part of that railroad line is endangered because a lot of the East Coast, including parts of Georgia and Florida is sinking due to salt water intrusion.

  Additionally, I95 (one of the major interstate highways that runs from through Georgia and Florida) is also running along the eastern coast and is endangered more and more every year because of the same salt water intrusion and sinking coast line.

  There’s two options for rail. Diesel powered rail which would require refueling stations or at the very least places to store the fuel. But I doubt that’s what people mean. This would add to traffic (fuel delivery and maintenance isn’t going to be done using this train) because trucks would be required to carry that fuel.

  You’d also still need to build ingress and egress points for the rail, things like park and ride, things like stations, things like dropoff areas. This will have to be in addition to what is already there because what you’re expecting is that more people in Florida/Georgia will use rail rather than drive. So no. We aren’t just taking two lanes off a highway and dropping in some railroad tracks. That’s not how that works.

  To move the same volume of people in the event of a tropical storm, hurricane, or flood, a train has to be able to be powered. So I’m going to assume (since most people who argue for trains are people who think it’ll be more environmentally friendly) that we’re talking about electric rail. Meaning you’re going to need electricity to power those rail lines. What happens when power isn’t available? Where do we put electrical substations? Where do we put the rest of the infrastructure to support the rail? I’m guessing we’re clearing swamp land for that.

  People who still need a car for whatever reason<

  Evacuation due to weather is a big one. Can you evacuate on the train? If it’s running, sure. Should you? Questionable. Is it easier and are you more likely to be able to take things with you that you don’t want destroyed in a different vehicle? Pets? Old people with equipment like wheel chairs and other aids? And before you go “of course!” I’m going to remind you that building that are fully up to fire code expect paralyzed people to just figure it out. Elevator? Don’t use the elevator. Stairs? Guess I’m dragging myself down the stairs if I’m able bodied enough to do so. My multi-thousand dollar piece of medical equipment? Unless someone is willing to help me drag it down serval flights of stairs, the recommendation is to leave it. And it may not be reimbursed or replaced by my insurance company. Assuming I have insurance.

  Tickets on the train that is already available? $140 a ticket one way.

  High speed rail doesn’t pay for itself, and to get Floridians to use it you’re going to need to make it affordable. This will raise the taxes of Floridians and they don’t pay state income tax. Meaning this is going to be paid for using federal funding (which Trump has cut repeatedly in the last 6 months), sales tax, tax on titles and tags,.and property tax which sounds great until you realize that those people who still need cars when and if this is built will absolutely still use cars, and the people paying the property tax will fight this to the death.

  I was going to mention they “in good faith” bit and respond to it but in trying really hard to be chill about this since I’m obviously not talking to someone with any background data for this subject, up to and including anything about Florida, and its water table, or it’s elevation compared to sea level and the kind of storms and acts of nature it normally gets.

  There are other factors to, but I’ve spent enough time on this specifically.

  So if you would like to continue this conversation in good faith, do some research please.

  So what you’re saying is you advocate for the government to clear swampland (fuck the environment I guess), and continue to disenfranchise Native American peoples because you want high speed rail so badly?

  Yeah. Yeah. I know you didn’t say that. But that’s what can be extrapolated from your assertion that the government and billionaires could if they wanted to. Don’t normalize this shit. It’s wrong for the government to seize things that don’t belong to it regardless of the purpose they plan to use if for.

  Just curious about what your thought is here? How straight are the roads? How often do they have to be resurface or maintenance? Just because there’s a road or highway, the are must be able to support high speed rail? Should they continue to clear swamp land in order to erect high speed rail? Is the plan here to usurp the highway for high speed rail? If so, what happens to those people who still need a vehicle in order to get where they’re going? What happens if they need that highway?

  “The Okefenokee Swamp is a shallow, 438,000-acre (177,000 ha), peat-filled wetland straddling the Georgia–Florida line in the United States. A majority of the swamp is protected by the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge and the Okefenokee Wilderness. The Okefenokee Swamp is considered to be one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Georgia and is the largest “blackwater” swamp in North America.” -Wikipedia

  Add to this Indian Reservation land, National Park/Preserve/ Wildlife Refuge land, the Everglades, other swamp/marshland, etc and you start to see that there’s several environmental challenges to a rail system from. Georgia to Orlando Florida.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flipper Zero 'DarkWeb' Firmware Bypasses Rolling Code Security on Major Vehicle Brands⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically, the other fob shouldn’t be affected if it works the way I think it does. There’s usually a maximum number of keys synced to the vehicle.

  This attack basically forces the key fob the flipper zero is substituting itself for to fall out of sync because the flipper zero doesn’t transmit the rollover response from the vehicle back to the key fob. So the F0 sends the rolling code it intercepted from the key fob to the vehicle. Vehicle is like, yep, that’s matches, and then it does it’s rollover and sends out the rollover response. The response doesn’t get back to the key because of range etc and then the key remains a step behind the vehicle in the rollover sequence from then on out.

  Technically I think they key could potentially be resynced to the car. (My understanding is that a key of the correct type could be synced to any car that it can be programmed for so long as the key isn’t physically damaged, and the security module isn’t compromised with malicious code that would prevent it).

  We have known this for decades. Maybe don’t buy iPads? I’m just pointing out that Apple’s prices for parts and repair were always high and even though it’s a more recent thing that you can get new parts for repairs (with the rise of right to repair), they have been in the business of all overcharging for oem parts for a long time. Back in the early aughts they used to code parts so that if you repaired something yourself with off the shelf parts (same part just not their branding) the device would reject that part on a software level and still not work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man, I really got hit with a "All men are predators, it's in the studies". 2nd wave feminism is a scourge on feminism itself.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No. My point is that the “all men” phenomenon is a symptom of the bigger problem which is that one demographic is being victimized by a subset of a second demographic and that second demographic as a whole recognizes that there is a problem and doesn’t do anything to change that status quo in a meaningful way but won’t acknowledge that their continued lack of action may be the reason they are collectively being blamed. 

  Bigger problem -> overgeneralization -> backlash over the over-generalization while maintaining status quo. Wash, rinse, repeat. 

  If your point we’re just that “gender bias and the resultant discrimination are bad” you could literally have done that with “Men saying all women are whores/golddiggers are doing the same thing and that is also wrong.” 

  Instead, what you did was took an entirely unrelated analogy to a bad conclusion in what I’m sure you think is good faith, ignoring the circumstances and particulars of that situation so that you can try to make a point in the most clumsy way possible and when people give you pushback about it and add clarity of their own views in response it’s “moving goal posts”. 

  You made a hamfisted attempt to relate sexual assault and the over-reaction to it to racism and got called out. Let’s not forget what you were initially responding to which wasn’t ops post but a comment at the beginning of the thread which is context for literally just about everything else I’ve said in subsequent comments which plants the goal posts very much where they started out. 

  "In the US, of 100 rapes against girls and women reported to the police, 18 will be prosecuted. 

  Jeffery Epstein and his cohort abused hundreds of girls, and all anybody cares about is what powerful man might be embarrassed.  Has anyone proposed or suggested anything to protect girls from rich perverts? 

  From the founding till 1951, raping your wife was legal in all 48 states. And that protection extended in several states beyond the federal change. Some states even made common-law husbands immune. 

  The Christian Bible considers rape to be a property crime. in conservative circles, girls as young as 12 are regularly married off to their rapist."

  You are the one who acknowledged that the statistic for African American crime has more nuance but also didn’t not speak at all to the point of using it for the purposes of subjugation (something you conveniently ignored in order to try to validate your point). 

  You don’t stop over generalization by ignoring the root cause. Stop playing games with me. The root cause of the African Americans are criminals BS is literally that to continue to subjugate them and feed the prison population the institution has to make the general populace believe they deserve to be there. The general cause of “all men are predators” is literally that the patriarchy condoned sexual abuse so ardently for so long and continues to do so that the only way we even have conversations about sexual assault and abuse is in forums like this on topics like this one where the topic isnt even about sexual abuse but is absolutely about blaming women for overgeneralizing about it. 

  You are the one who once again argued poorly that as you spend more time around a bear the likelihood that the bear will attack you will go up, ignoring how that’s exactly what happens to women. The more time they spend around men the more likely they are to be attacked. The men the spend the most time around are very often the ones who end their lives or commit sexual assault against them. 

  And if you feel like I’m putting words in your mouth, maybe stop and think about what you mean and just say that. Don’t use analogies about subjects your clearly poorly understand. Don’t try to quote me to refute something I said that you take issue with when you didn’t understand it and your response bears that out. The questions I asked about what you were doing? Rhetorical. They were intended to make you think about the root cause of the situation. And also why more men don’t report sexual assault. You sure took them as an accusation though.
