Had a similar experience, but it was a video of a guy who got run over by a truck, or in more accurate terms…smushed into its radiator. There was not a lot left that could be recognized as a normal human body, but he was still alive and crying for help.
I’ll also never forget that, fucking traumatizing thing. I believe the Nokia phone camera quality which was usual back then made it even worse, because there were missing details you couldn’t see, only imagine.
I wonder how The Unknown will fit into this.
Well I got incredibly lucky so I have a firstname@lastname.de address. Why would I ever give that up? 🥰
It’s quite frightening to see how fast these AI models have improved during the last few years. You can still spot errors in the videos, but how long will it take until you can’t do that anymore?
It sounds terrifying to not know what’s real or not anymore. And also, these videos will put a lot of people out of jobs, especially in the creative industry. Who needs someone following a car with a drone anymore, when you can just generate that footage on the fly?
Even current German events are replicating the rise of Nazi Germany. But many people are too blind to see…
I used an Exynos S8 up to December of last year and it’s still blazingly fast. And the consensus on xdaforums seems to be that the Qualcomm variant from the US is terrible. :) Weird, but maybe I’m wrong and I just got used to a slow device. I mean, I had a Sony Xperia XA2 before and that thing was so slow, everything else felt like The Flash. :D
It’s the good one. As far as I know, Exynos phones are much faster than the Snapdragon variants. Custom ROMs like LineageOS are only available for Exynos phones, so those are the only ones still getting updates.
The S8 is pretty nice, but only the Exynos variant. I hated the glass back, though. Shattered mine two times, one time the phone just fell 30 centimeters out of bed. Gorilla Glass only in the front was a deliberate decision by these bastards.
Yeah unfortunately that Custom ROM scene is dying out
I feel like recent Android has gotten good enough for me that I don’t really need custom ROMs anymore. As long as I can still root the stock ROM and install AdAway, I’m fine.
Great, my hobby is going to the cinema every week. Doesn’t need any practice, just sit ya ass down and watch.
This. This is exactly it. I could earn a bit more money working 40 hours, but I decided to do a 4 day work week with only 32 hours and my health has increased drastically.
What’s funny about this, is that I’m also a coder and I used a lot of my spare time and regained power to learn new tools, frameworks and programming languages outside of work. Ultimately, these will result in higher paid jobs. Can’t do that when you’re constantly tired.
Last year I started working less for even more money. Another company wanted to poach me, so my boss had to make me an offer. Went down to a 32 hour work week with Fridays off while also getting a significant raise, so I stayed at the company. He didn’t like it, but there wasn’t much of a choice because we’re severely understaffed.
Let’s see if I can do this again this year. Not working less hours (32h is fine), but getting an even better offer.
It’s gotten so hard to find authentic, useful results that people have started adding the word “Reddit” to search terms
I have definitely done that multiple times.
Tentatively called “Alexa Plus,” the paid version of Alexa is intended to offer more conversational and personalized AI technology, said one of the documents obtained by Business Insider.
But the quality of the new Alexa’s answers is still falling short of expectations, often sharing inaccurate information, external tests have found.
Do they really expect people will pay for a large language model making up results on-the-fly?
“If this fails to get revenue, Alexa is in trouble,” one of the people told BI.
I will not shed a tear when Alexa gets shut off, to be honest.
Oh hell no, I don’t want to go through school again. Teenagers are horrible to each other.
Bring back the Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro!
Optical sensors makes it very hard to fail, it basically lasts forever. Can’t have that in this day and age anymore, poor companies need to sell new crap every year.
Aliexpress search is just the worst in that regard. “Hey I want to buy microchip X123457” - “Sure, here are some other totally different chips and a few iPhone cases for you”.
Without site:aliexpress.com and search engines I would never find anything on there.
Na, that’s mostly due to corporate enshittification.
Dammit, I misread here. Of course, the US format is terrible.
Just use smplayer as the frontend for mpv and you’re all set.
