This tech seems cool for people who may need it, or even just for fitness or other things.
But if Google is behind using the data to whatever money purpose (like selling ads), it becomes a bit bad.
Tho they would already do so with watches or other health tech connecting to their services. So ๐คท. If people have already choose a Google product for health, it doesn't change much, it's just another cool tech to the collection.
Well what if I'm just not inteterested in YouTube music (just because I don't listed to a lot of music)?
It does make the deal a lot worse.
Currently, there are some alternatives, or bluetooth versions which work pretty well.
Often wireless gaming brands offer a usb dongle. That dongle often uses a proprietary protocol over 2.4ghz. And allow enough bandwidth for audio and mic. Some brand give more or less bandwidth to the mic, or have better compression, or bandwidth.
And currently, there is a fairly "new", already here since bt 5.3 : LC3. It's a very well optimised protocol which allows for about the same quality at lower bandwidth than other protocol. It also has lower latency. This protocol has started to be used by gaming brands, like Creative, in a usb dongle. Or even in standalone headphones. On the Creative headset, it would allow enough bandwidth for audio and mic without much compromise (like if it wad a proprietary dongle).
Obviously the quality may not be as good as wired. But it should be enough for most people.
Huawei also seems to have announced (not sure if yet released, it should be in an honor phone), their bluetooth competitor. They say 6x faster (more bandwidth I guess) https://newatlas.com/mobile-technology/nearlink-wireless-huawei/.
I don't understand your ranting about mozzila. In the wiki page you posted right there :
Any profits made by the Mozilla Corporation will be invested back into the Mozilla project. There will be no shareholders, no stock options will be issued and no dividends will be paid
Where is the profit on the page? The revenue isn't profit, it's how much money they make without the costs.
Then how do you expect a browser to survive without revenue? There are 3 major browser engines on the market today :
Al of them suck up huge amount of money.
For revenue, they also have more products than Firefox https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mozilla_products which also make money or not.
It requires powerful gpus yes but not always. It depends a lot on how fast you want it to run. Microsoft and openai need powerful ai gpus because they have a lot of requests, data and want it to go fast. The dataset may also require to be stored in memory or gpu memory for fast access and use by the ai.
For Llama, it has been released as open source. And what is amazing about open source, is the community. A Llama entirely in c++ has been created https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp .
And someone even managed to make it run, fast enough, on a phone with 8gb of available ram https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/discussions/750 . Tho with a smaller dataset.
There are some useful things in there, but it can get complicated. If i could get to Linux I wouldn't need a lot of this stuff, or at least I wouldn't need to think about it.
Tho I can't get to it yet (and no I'm not willing to do a windows vm), because of 2 things :
I'm playing warframe, and sometimes I open alecafrale in the background with the overlays to know what reward to pick. And it seems they overwolf and the app is not compatible with Linux, at least from what I could read.
I am using gpu virtualisation to share my pc occasionally with my brother. And on Linux, there is an alternative with LIBVF.IO. but sadly, not compatible with newer amd gpus, or at least from the tutorial and arch wiki, pretty complicated to make it run, if even possible.
When these 2 things would be fixed, maybe I'll consider it, if i don't have to switch to windows every 2 days...
Yep. And the average user doesn't know what a bios update is.
Oh and the average user doesn't know that windows update has bios updates from manufacturers.
What happens when the bios is flashed? Poof the key disappeared...
Nice move Microsoft. Not sure if they have something to prevent the loss of the encryption key or some security, but for those people I hope they don't loose their data due to updates.
Did you even read the article?
The configuration has a powerful cpu and fast ssd. There are multiple benchmark tools used, and 2 encryption methods, software and hardware.
I'm using windows pro, because of hyperv, and gpu virtualisation. And I don't need that security feature.
And windows pro still have some benefits. The group policy, tho most of the changes can still be made in the registry.
Well there is light room, and the more expensive Photoshop online.
They now offer an online version of maybe full Photoshop. Tho no idea what is included.
The Hot sort seems to show new and sligly older content, with an enphasis on new. So I just sort by hot, as the algorithm is pretty good for that.
And mostly on subscribed. All being mostly to discover other things.
