I can’t tell you for sure, but Framework does have a business team and they seem to support automatic onboarding with Intune Autopilot too. One usecase that came into my mind is that when employees demand a new computer because theirs feel slow the tech can just drop in the board into a new chassis, reinstall the OS and the marketing guy is none the wiser. Plus, frameworks are cheaper in the long run.

Businesses that have to be complaint with industry standards are unfortunately stuck using Win or MacOS

Models can be retrained, there’s a certain website out there that prides itself in having more than 300k movies available for download, if the AI companies get their hands on it then there’s enough training material for them and the outcome will likely be good enough for the average Marvel movie.

Also, they won’t generate a 2 hour movie, they’ll likely do 1 scene at a time and piece it together. So in theory they can carry even a 10 hour movie if the plot for it exists.

He is unfortunately correct, if the AI generated actors are convincing enough then majority of people will not care. Just like it is with CGI, people complain about CGI in movies but as examples they can only list movies with very poor CGI because our brain ignores good CGI.

I dunno, claiming that fascism was always in our tech is an incorrect statement. The Amiga 1200 wanted to hurt nobody.

I love the Amiga 1200

Now just prompt engineer to give all the employees raises and watch how quick it gets unplugged

Mate we’re not all like that, some of us just play video games (shocking I know)

If only all the streaming services bundled all the services into one service and started selling it for a better price than whatever’s currently being offered :D

History repeats itself and all that

In my native language there’s no such thing as “condiment”, it’s all sauce. Packaging at the shops even say “Mayo sauce”.

No mayo? I love mayo

I’m pretty sure most of the H.264 patents expired or are set to expire next year. Maybe it’s one last cash grab before the best codec ever made is liberated

Minecraft released when Steam was not dominant yet. We still got physical releases when Minecraft first went on sale. Nowadays? Good luck

Most devs who shared their thoughts online say that not being able to sell on Steam means a death sentence for their game. There was a case recently about a game who Steam banned from selling and without the media coverage they would’ve never made it, because itch.io sales represent a very small portion.

SEC? In this day and age? Yeah… right…

You can donate to private trackers with it, they already figure out how to convert it to fiat and take care of hosting

Commercial VPNs are businesses too :)

The internet is just a way to get a message across. Overall, Gen Z (and further ones) are fucked in pretty much every aspect. No money, no housing and generally no real future. That leads to desperation and as a result you start asking yourself questions why up until the 1970s everyone had it better than the previous generations and now we’re constantly getting fucked. Then come the “saviors” of the internet that blame it on illegal aliens, women having rights etc because according to their logic we had it good in the 70s so we must reverse everything back to the way it was in 70s. If young people get some breathing room the trend will reverse itself in my opinion. But seeing as no one is coming to save young people, it will only get worse.

I don’t know any self respecting sysadmin that doesn’t block P2P in their network. Most enterprise firewalls nowadays don’t even require any fancy set up, it’s a toggle switch away. I don’t buy the “oopsie we didn’t know” excuse. They were permitted to torrent by design.

jfc this can’t be real

I only found one usecase where it shines and even then I had to verify the output twice to make sure it doesn’t fuck up before I push it into production. String manipulation is pretty good with it instead of having to write a bash one liner with a lot of sed and awk
