- Comment on Microsoft's decision to axe Windows 10 is driving Apple PC sales growth — users buy Macs instead of AI PCs despite Microsoft’s push for Copilot+ PCs 1 week ago:
Apple has its own can of worms, but privacy usually isn’t the issue. At least in comparison to other tech giants.

I think that’s “pissed in”, which is different.

There are plenty of ethical things you can do with $1 billion. It’s the acquisition that’s questionable.

As I said, those are all 1st party applications. I don’t see it anywhere being OS-wide. And what’s “smartlook”? Do you mean Spotlight? I haven’t seen any AI in Spotlight, but I also haven’t installed (the janky) Tahoe yet.

On MacOS, at least for now, AI isn’t prominent at all. I’ve been using an M4 Air for a month before I remembered that Apple Intelligence was a thing and had to google how to use it. So far it only seems to be partially available in 1st party Apple apps which I don’t use anyway.

I wasn’t talking about LAN but but playing online on public servers. And I wasn’t saying it as a bad thing, just tempering expectations. Iirc, you have to patch the game, then create an account for the GameSpy replacement. There were some stability issues, too, but if you find a decent server it was ok.
But after all of that the main issue was, of course, lack of players.

Warhead was like Crysis 1.5, actually. But I have tried playing the original Crysis online a couple years ago and it’s possible. Not super convenient, but possible.

I wouldn’t say it’s ugly per se, but it’s rather distinctive and we have developed an association with it.
- Comment on effective advertising to boost your business 4 weeks ago:
The “slop” part they’re talking about is the logo itself. You can tell it’s made by Sora because of the font, and to an extent the proportions of items being off.
- Comment on effective advertising to boost your business 4 weeks ago:
And you can barely even tell this was made with Sora.

Shouldn’t it be “lie around”?
- Comment on Ah yes that's my bad 5 weeks ago:
Today my lecturer, whose English is very bad, pronounced “c” in “artificial” as a “k” and it sounded like “arti-fecal”. And I thought Lemmy would love the term “artifecal intelligence”.

Is it weird that I can tell this is a Xiaomi store?
- Comment on Delivery time: Strong. 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think users actually write those. You just pick the amount of stars and the term is hardcoded for the amount. It most likely is just a translation mishap.
- Comment on Yea well it still can't have an existential crisis like humans can! Take that! 5 weeks ago:
True, that totally happens to me all the time, too. For example, yesterday it was repeatedly insisting that there’s a certain checkbox in qbittorrent settings, which wasn’t there. I gave it the screenshot of the setting page and it “realized” it’s named differently. So in the end, it helped me with something that I couldn’t google properly. It’s a supplementary tool for me.

Happened to me yesterday. I have an old 4K TV, every component I used to connect to it had HDMI 2.0+ capabilities. Neither laptop nor Steam Deck would output 4K60, only 4K30. Tried getting another cable and a hub, same result. And I know that my Chromecast outputs 4K60 to this TV, so I was extra confused. In my desperation, asked GPT-5 what was I missing, and it plainly told me that those old Samsung TVs turn off HDMI 2.0 support unless you explicitly turn it on in TV settings under “UHD Color”. Apparently Chromecast was doing chroma subsampling, but computers refused and wanted full HDMI 2.0 bandwidth…

Huh. Well, to be fair it’s been a while since I played it…

Hmm… I don’t remember that being in the original.

Umm… Is the joke that what we see is actually a very small part of EM spectrum and things that we’re unable to see is the vast majority? Or just that “haha rainbow gay”?
- Comment on advertising and headers take up 50% of screen space 2 months ago:
That sucks. As one of the workarounds I have vertical taskbar and tabs. Our screens have more horizontal space than we usually need.

So if men playing as female avatars in games don’t count (that openly admit to it), then I would say it’s probably a very small group of men who actually do that.
