They were hours apart, though.

I couldn’t not.

You could not not?

I don’t think WINE would work, because it likely relies on a custom driver.

If you don’t have a Windows installation, booting into a WinPE LiveCD (like Sergei Strelec’s WinPE: https://m.majorgeeks.com/files/details/sergei_strelecs_winpe.html) and installing it in the live environment should work. Running Windows in a VM should work too, if you pass the USB drive through to the VM.

Did anyone suggest using black electrical tape yet?

Wow, this is an unusually long, high quality article from NBC news. I didn’t realise they have a great investigative unit.

for example maybe AV1 takes even more off,

I know this was just an example, but Intel 11th gen and newer has hardware acceleration for AV1.

GPUs have their place, but they significantly increase power consumption, which is an issue in areas with high power prices.

If you want to self-host email or websites, I’d use a VPS for those use cases. For websites, a $30/year VPS would be more than sufficient. You can try host at home, but hosting those things from a residential IP doesn’t always work well.

QuickSync is more than sufficient for most users. It can handle several concurrent 4K transcode. It’s also not that common to have to transcode, unless you stream your media content when away from home a lot, and have poor upload speed.

If going Intel, there’s different models of Intel iGPU, so I’d go for the lowest-end GPU that has the higher end iGPU. My home server is a few years old and has an Intel Core i5 13500. The difference between the 13400 and 13500 looks small on paper, but the 13400 only has UHD Graphics 730 while the 13500 had UHD Graphics 770 which can handle double the number of concurrent transcodes.

Intel iGPUs also support SR-IOV which lets you share one iGPU across multiple VMs. For example, if you have a Plex server on the host Linux system, and Blue Iris in a Windows Server VM, and both need to use hardware transcoding.

I’ve heard AMD’s onboard graphics are pretty good these days, but I haven’t tried AMD CPUs on a server.

You can share the node with them, and use an ACL to control which ports they have access to.

This is a reason why you should actually read the Terms of Service and don’t use the product if you don’t agree with them. Niantic’s ability to use your images like this would have been in the ToS.

AI has made this a bit easier since you can copy and paste the ToS into an LLM and ask it summarize the terms and point out the most important clauses (and clauses that aren’t typical)

It’s the default on Messenger so I’m not sure why it wasn’t made the default on Instagram.

I’ll be sure to subscribe while connected to my NordVPN account.

lol I still have a screenshot of Digg from when every article on the home page had this key in it.

They sold Google Domains to Squarespace.

I used to use Dogpile a lot in the late 1990s. Coincidentally it was a similar idea to this and SearxNG - it was a meta search engine that combined Yahoo, Lycos, Excite, AltaVista and a few others into one interface (no Google since it wasn’t in widespread use yet).

It’s not like gtk3 is suddenly out of use.

That’s true, however the GNOME maintainers will drop support for it at some point. I guess Cinnamon or xfce could maintain their own forks, however the majority of apps target what GNOME is currently using given it’s the most popular desktop environment.

I’m not familiar with this app, but what do you mean “gnomed”? Do you mean the UI started using Gtk4 and Adwaita components?

Gtk3 is considered legacy now, so most apps that use Gtk will be transitioning to Gtk4 (and Adwaita) at some point. Gtk3 is starting to look a bit outdated in modern DEs.

The Teslas that are made in China are noticeably higher quality than the ones made in the USA. Fewer panel gaps and better fit and finish.

The only reason Teslas are decent quality is because the majority of them are made in China. Over 50% of Teslas are made in China, using over 90% local (Chinese) parts.

No one will pay much for it because it’s about to need a $15,000 battery,

That’s pretty rare though. Less than 5% of EVs need a battery replacement after 10 years (including those with defective batteries), and modern EV batteries should last at least 20 years, after which they’re still estimated to have around 65-70% capacity.

What if the drafts were created using AI too?

Code is often in a source control system of some sort, which tracks changes to the code (who changed it, when it was changed, and a description of what was changed). It’s similar to having a lot of drafts.

I don’t think that could prove that a human wrote it, though.

I think in cases like this, the author could prove they created the code/story/art/whatever by having a deep understanding of the material. That’s how Michael Jackson defended against lawsuits saying he copied someone else’s song - he described his songwriting process and could hum/beatbox every instrument in the track.
