  • Remember that time when a physicist proposed a Thorium Potassium reactor which woudl run at a lower temperature and the feature that the reaction would destroy itself before ever going critical and the world was like "interesting" and then he said "and it even prevents weaponised uranium" and then the world went "no thank you"

    Motorola 'Chop' for flashlight is trash
  • Loved it on my Moto X 2014, not sure how you're doing it wrong. double chop, small movement, around 30 degrees. Hold the phone flat against your palm, like you're shaking hands with it.

    Works a little too well sometimes and it turned on when I was running with my phone in my pocket.

    I don't need to learn the language, I'll just use the translate app.
  • I have no idea why people think translation is a perfect one to one exercise or why translation app don't have options to tweak for "direct" or "interpretive" or even "poetic" translation sources or even just minor context options

    AI Rule
  • I'm not scared of AI advertising because it will be impossible to sell. There are 3 issues:

    1. No marketing agency would ever have the balls to say "we've checked our database and there is no one who would click on your ad."
    2. Any marketing department that gets told their ad has a near 100% click through rate would demand to be shown to more people because "obviously there's a massive audience for our product."
    3. There would be situations where the AI could not find an ad that the person would click on and the AI would shit itself because it would be prompted to "always show an ad"

    We already could have the option to only relevant ads but no ad company would because it's being paid to shove ads in front of eyeballs.

    What happened to HMD/Nokia between the 2017 - 2019 period?
  • It's very telling that they are moving away from the Nokia brand as well, probably looking to terminate the license agreement to recoup some costs

    What happened to HMD/Nokia between the 2017 - 2019 period?
  • It appears that the flagship route didn't work out for them (I rode my Nokia 8 for as long as I could, but the storage was giving me problems.)

    Much like when Motorola went into zombie brand mode (after being sold to Lenovo) they leaned hard on the midrange which appeared to do ok, as well as their feature phones.

    Google giving up on KaiOS was probably the other killer, money had to go into redeveloping their feature phone software.

    I can't believe how many virtual meetings in the last three years that people are still sharing their screens.

    People seem to share their screens in 3 situations:

    1. Showing or explaining a document. Whether it be a slideshow or written document, people seem obsessed with idea that no one else knows how to read or that they write just as incompetently as they present.
    2. Explaining procedure. I get it, things can be complicated. Learn to screen record.
    3. Collaboration. Most conferencing apps have a whiteboard or other document creation apps have real time collaboration. You just don't want to use these things because you want to be in 100% control of what's being written down. You don't want a meeting, go do your own things, if you feel obligated to turn it into a meeting you just want attention.

    We all have a limited time on this earth. We're not going to remember or care about the meetings in a year or two. Go find something meaningful to do with your life. Stop sharing your screen, and even better yet, don't have the meeting at all. We're not going to look back at the end of our lives and wish we'd had more meetings.

    "Xbox Live and the ability to download new content is not a crutch to ship crappy software. And too often on the PC--I'm going to be blunt here--in the PC gaming space, games get out that developers know have problems because they know they can patch them later. They know they can force updates. And the act of playing [games online] becomes a pain in the ass, because you put the disc in and then you gotta download the patch and you gotta download the service pack and you gotta download the security hot fix, and then you gotta apply those things and reboot your machine. That's not an entertainment experience. That is not fun." -- Jeff Henshaw, Group Program Manager - Xbox, 2010-10-06

    Data hoarding with the fediverse

    Does anyone know if Lemmy has support for a "replicated instance"?

    What I'm imagining is a backup of all Communities and Posts at least, in such a way that does not cause a nightmare for the Federated feed, but could be swapped in if something were to happen to the original?
