Thanks, I think the RGB shirt might be custom to him because the same image is his YouTube channel’s profile header image.

Does Technology Connections sell shirts? In most of his recent videos he has worn a black shirt with zoomed in RGB pixels from a digital display and I’ve been looking for it everywhere because I work in a related industry.

Thanks I’m going to give this a try.

No, that is a common misconception. Most (~85%) companies in China are completely private and just pay taxes. Most of the super large companies (like fortune 500) are partially or completely state owned though. They have embraced aspects of capitalism the last decade, but with checks to ensure that huge corporations don’t control society like in the US.

I cap my bandwidth at 50% of my max upload and download speed during the day and 80% of max during night when I’m usually asleep using qBittorrent’s schedule feature.

Very good explanation. If usb-c is good enough for a MacBook, it’s definitely good enough for a small headset - no excuses!

Eh, I’ve seen all these same headlines on Hacker News. China is a rapidly developing country with a lot more people, manufacturing, advancements, and news than many other countries so it makes sense that there would be a lot of news coming out of it.

I just visited China for the first time during a business trip a few weeks ago and as an American I was impressed. The US media tries so hard to present only the negative that a lot of Americans aren’t even aware of all the achievements they’ve accomplished.

This plus extreme selection bias. There’s plenty of concrete that did not last for thousands of years.

Yes I’ve even had a video file stop at 99.9% and it still played just fine.

I’ve used F-Droid without unlocking the bootloader or rooting or Google Play services integration. Developers are free to use F-Droid, most just choose not to. Hopefully it becomes even more popular as gplay has more issues.

Right, they seem like the gateway car to ride people over until a full EV and the charging networks are more competitive. I would love an EV but they just aren’t convenient enough for my work travel schedule. A plug-in hybrid would solve that concern and allow for my non-work driving around town to be electric.

Would this affect any other watches that use optical blood oxygen sensors? Are they just starting with Apple because they’re the largest or did Apple just do things the Masimo way?

Here is a comment I copied from Hacker News:

If they join Sam Altman and Greg Brockman at Microsoft they will not need to start from scratch because Microsoft has full rights [1] to ChatGPT IP. They can just fork ChatGPT.

Also keep in mind that Microsoft hasn’t actually given OpenAI $13 Billion because much of that is in the form of Azure credits.

So this could end up being the cheapest acquisition for Microsoft: They get a $90 Billion company for peanuts.

A human must give approval before a target is destroyed. AI can assist at any point before or after that decision.

I think that is more like an advanced auto pilot which can also steer missiles to their target but only if fired by the human. The OP article says they’re banning AI from making the decision to fire the weapon.

Finally, our own ship to sail the seas! The spez mutiny brought better times for this crew.

Yes, it’s /c/piracy! Using torrents. Open source, community ran, providing free and equal access to information for all.

Or Usenet which is direct network access to enormous private digital media libraries to download to your own computer.

Be aware that Mullvad recently removed support for port forwarding if that matters to you. They’re no longer a preferred option for torrents for that reason. Other than that I enjoy using their service.
