Amazon is shutting down Freevee
  • I think Wil Wheaton had something that was supposed to air on Freevee, the link his PR person gave him just threw you back into the Amazon video page, I've never actually seen any information about the service or a working video stream surface.

    It seems like a lot of places are ready to throw millions of dollars into system and just never freaking marking them.

  • AI PCs flow into distribution pipeline, but who wants them?
  • You can get a lot done currently with ARC. The mobile ARC versions share system memory, So if you get a mini PC with ARC and upgrade it to 96GB, you can share system ram with the GPU and load decently large models. They're a little slow it not being vram and all, but still useful (and cheap)

    I have it running on a zenbook duo with 32GB so I can't load the 70B models, but I works shockingly well.

  • AI PCs flow into distribution pipeline, but who wants them?
  • I certainly don't wan to run windows on it :)

    I've been running llama keep my telemetry out of the hands of Microsoft/Google/"open"AI. I'm kind of shocked how much I can do locally with a half assed video card, and offline model and a hacked up copy of searxng.

  • Anon falls through the cracks
  • trying to sue you in court.

    Hmm, You'd probably get by fine representing yourself. Given it's a bad idea....

    I'd probably pick up a remote side job to work during the first job and store about 10k away to handle eventual legal fees. You wouldn't need much of a lawyer to defend yourself.

  • Signal gets new video call features, making it a viable alternative to Zoom, Meet and Teams
  • I worked for a healthcare / health insurance place some time ago. They monitored absolutely everything. They had everything. We ran appliances to Man in the Middle HTTPS sites, We had sneaky SMTP servers that would detect credit card numbers or social security numbers block the emails from going out and send them to a secure web portal. The recipient would just get a message that there's a secure message waiting for them and they have to go login and retrieve it.

    These days if you run slack Enterprise, The workspace managers can get access to even the most private of chats. I'm not sure about teams I've managed to stay away from it. I believe you could do this in Gchat but it would probably require a lot of legwork maybe somebody makes an application for it already I don't know.

    I didn't mean to say that no companies would go for it has anybody even just running small business versions of software don't have access to that kind of thing, The places that have any intent on decent operational security are going to want their tentacles into all the things.

  • Blizzard just quietly released Warcraft 1 and 2 remasters, and they look like Zynga games made by a blind duck
  • shrug

    Dunno, I was involved on some of the Zynga titles, so maybe I'm biased.

    Two looks really decent. Maybe One could have had a few more cosmetic upgrades. It looks to me like maybe they leaned in a little hard into HDR.

    If they were going to take the art much further than they did it probably would have been prudent just to make a new version.

  • Anon tries programming in Java
  • 95% exaggeration if he is a real programmer.

    If he just tried to walk into Java knowing nothing or maybe PHP, and refused to RTFA, he might experience about 30% to 40% of that I just trying to do everything wrong.

  • Signal gets new video call features, making it a viable alternative to Zoom, Meet and Teams
  • TBF, the level of privacy afforded at work will never be usable in most companies.

    At scale, it's a security nightmare. PII, HIPAA, PCI, If OPSEC can't at the very least go back and see what happened in private channels, it's going to be a hard sell.

  • Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash
  • A: the driver knows they're locked from the inside

    B: they're always locked form the inside, they didn't just stop working because the car lost power

    C: lithium fire/smoke makes thinking more difficult than an ICE engine fire

    EV complicates it

    Tesla made it really bad by electric-only locks.

  • I feel this way about cinnamon.
  • If you use cinnamon and cloves in chili, the cinnamon and cloves should be almost undetectable. The spice is meant to provide a warm undertone.

    Realistically, if you want to properly experience it, forget adding cinnamon and add good quality chorizo. It has cinnamon, but brings a lot more to the table.

  • I feel this way about cinnamon.
  • I make chili for work once a quarter or so. I make two batches, one Vegan, one Fantastic (ok kidding)

    Yes, you can use just about any meat substitute they are all fantastic. Slices of seitan, TVP, Small chunks of drained and pressed low moisture tofu, morning star sausage. The spices destroy any of the finer flavors, so you're just in it for the texture you really can't go wrong because the only no-no is gristle.

    Before the meat alternatives got decent in the past few years, I always just made both batches with beans.

  • Trump planning flurry of executive orders for first day, top aide says
  • Bernie could actually get republican voters

    nah, not buying that one. Never seen ANY inclination for them to call him anything but a dirty socialist.

    People continuingly act like 1/3 of the country just doesn’t vote.

    do you have any data that suggests overwise?

    We saw in 08 with Obama they’ll show up for a Dem running a populist campaign,

    63.6% turnout. Less white votes, more minority votes than 2000 or even 2004

    Neoliberalism isn’t popular enough to win elections

    This we can ardently agree on.

  • Trump planning flurry of executive orders for first day, top aide says
  • I'm more concerned that a populist Dem is a unicorn. The closest I've ever seen is Sanders or AOC and they're hardly mass appeal popular.

    Anyone with a solid conscience and mass appeal that we actually know wouldn't want the job.
