The article states that’s what the privacy policy sais samsung can sample every 500ms and LG every 10ms. It doesn’t really mean they are, but it’s definitely possible. A very basic way of detecting content is to take a 1000 pixels evenly spaced out over the screen and store the color values. That gives you something you can match against a database. You don’t need to process a 4K screenshot for this.

99% of what we watch is from streaming (Netflix, YouTube, etc). A dumb tv with a Chromecast probably isn’t any better.

Except for my wife and kids almost nobody knows I have one. But yes I have gotten pdfs from my mother in law to print.

Same, had a samsung for 5 years and it sucked, my Brother has been solid for over 5 years now. Just get one that has network support, so you can print from any computer (and even a phone) in your network.

I really miss google cloud print, it was an amazing product (my printer still supports it).

Family chatgroup, signal Work chatgroup, signal Half of my friends, signal

Won’t be very long until I remove whatsapp from my phone. That one friend that doesn’t want to switch, call me I guess…

Thats true, I once had to repair my washing machine and I could only find 1 video about the same model and same repair. It was a large Russian man that I could not understand (this was before auto generated subtitles).

Anyways, I just looked at the video and copied everything he did and I fixed my machine.

I pay for nebula, they have a lot of educational content and the price is low enough that I don’t mind it

Yeah true, but these are more business to business. RHEL support is pretty expensive, and in my experience Oracle support (maybe not really open source) is both terrible and ridiculously expensive. Maybe this will create a market for more consumer like support. Maybe that could even create new business models for open source software.

Or and I know this sounds crazy, we (I actually mean you) collectively agree on laws that gives everyone a couple of paid vacation weeks a year.

Thank god in the Netherlands we are not and we did not elect a far right party as the biggest party, oh wait…

I hostely fear for the next 5 years, with far right (and anti science, anti woke, anti freedom, anti any progressive idea people had after 1950s) gaining more traction.

I was too young to really buy software but the most expensive game I bought as a kid was 40 guilders. If use and inflation correction calculator and convert to euros that game in 1995 would be 36 euros in todays money, about 40 dollars. This was a gameboy game.

A pc game back then was between 50 and 60 dollars (converted with inflation).

But this was all in a physical store, where you would get an actual box, book, cartridge or disc, etc.

No, but I also don’t expect that as a user. It is also fine if the developer makes version 2.0 and I can decide to buy the new version or not. Before the internet this was pretty much how it worked, a new version came on a new floppy or disc you’d buy in a store.

Maybe for the short term, but there is software you use every day, for years. Some android apps I have been using since 2014.

I first thought you wrote boolean float, not sure if that’s even worse.

Can you even call yourself a Linux user if you didn’t fuck up GRUB a few times? 😀

I’m pretty old an have been working in IT for almost 20 years now. Back in the day in would be more like this “hey welcome to the team, here’s your PC”. Someone would point to a desktop with Windows (XP) on it. If your company was “good” at IT you would have roaming profiles, so you could use any desktop with your own profile. If you would get a laptop (usually if you did IT consultancy that would be the case) it would be some locked down version of Windows where you would not even have admin rights.

In one of my first jobs a colleague (developer) couldn’t do his job because his pc was so slow and locked down. One day he came into the office with a CD-ROM that had Ubuntu on it. He just wiped the desktop and installed it. As a young office worker I was shocked! You can do that???

I used MS-DOS as a kid and installed Windows 98 when I was 12. Started to use Linux in my 20s.

Granted I am old.

I can only watch it with revanced and sponsorblock, otherwise I’d just watch some of my old downloaded stuff.

Also don’t promise stuff you just can’t deliver on. Like how a Tesla would be full self driving in 2014 but next year, or that amazing truck that would be the end game for every company moving stuff, or the new roadster from 2017

Yes and even if he would be smart, I know really smart people that would probably suck at running the economy. Having 0 experience doing something makes you a n00b by default.
