[RANT] I pay $70/mo for this privilege
  • Data cap never made sense because ISPs pay for pipe size, not total of data. Someone using 20mbps 24/7 will use a lot more data but cause a lot less congestion than someone using 300mbps for 1hr at peak hour every day.

    If their infra is undersized, they should at least not count data between midnight and 8am toward the data cap since the pipes are mostly sitting idles

  • Sarah Silverman is suing OpenAI and Meta for copyright infringement.
  • It's simple: if you have to pay "copyright holders" for anything you use your AI training on, there can be no AI training. They need to ingest all the data they can to become better and it would cost dozen of billions if you had to pay every single piece of content. So we have to pick between a future in which "copyright holders" fight to get their $ or a future where we can push AI to enter a new era

  • Good servers for self-hosting
  • You can order a Canadian server with fairly low latency. I have one but I also have a couple of machines at home. I don't like buying used and I care about wattage so I usually get beelinks mini PC from Amazon. They often have deals where you can have good specs for <$150, including 128gb SSDs, 8 or 16gb of ram and a 4 cores 15w CPU

    Are ARM/Android Handhelds on the way out?

    I love my Ayn Odin. There are great emulators on Android but also a ton of native games with controller support. With a Play Pass subscription ($30/year) and Netflix Games (which I'm paying for anyway), I have everything I need and the battery last 6h+.

    The Ayn Odin has a Snapdragon 845, which is quite powerful but just borderline for PS2 and after. I was sad to see that the new Odin devices are windows/x86, which are more powerful but have shitty battery and shaky sleep features.

    Other than the Razer, is there any company working on bringing newer Snapdragon chips to compact handheld android devices?
