LinkOpensChest_wav, in August's 50% Off Amazon Deals on Personal Care and Cosmetics

Spammer linking to trash products via Amazon Affiliate links

Do not click

ripcord, in John Deere brags about sabotaging competitors & customers on hot mic - they're PROUD of it!
@ripcord@kbin.social avatar

That is a really weird YouTube link. It's many links smashed together...?

Pons_Aelius, in Threads adds a chronological feed as Twitter burns to the ground

So the killer functionality this article is touting is:

A chronological feed of posts by people you are interested in...

Revolutionary stuff!

(Which will be removed/nerfed to display more adds and promoted content once Twitter Threads has gained enough users.)

TimeSquirrel, in Happy 50th birthday, Ethernet | APNIC Blog
@TimeSquirrel@kbin.social avatar

Because it works exactly for the thing it was designed to do, and does it well. Like asking why we still use hammers to pound nails in after a thousand years. Some things are going to stick around for a long while and not just go away because "progress". I fully expect some form of Ethernet to still be used 50-100 years from now just like analog phone lines are still used now, and those are over 100 years old.

2fat4that, in Elon Musk says Twitter's blue bird to be replaced by an X
@2fat4that@kbin.social avatar

That’ll look nice on an armband I’m sure.

@notabot374102 Replying here on Mastodon: Hey folks, does anyone want to help moderating the technology magazine on kbin?

adduc, in The Quest for a 'Simple' Smartwatch - Pixel Refresh

The Pebble Time 2 is still my holy grail of watches:

  • Acceptable looking in any setting
  • a week-long battery life with always on display
  • fitness tracking
  • good notification support with ability to dismiss or take further action
  • custom watch faces AND apps

I'm rocking an Amazfit GTS 1 now and it fills some of those demands, but I'm still waiting for something with a UX that felt as great as Pebble did. I'm happy you've found satisfaction with a Garmin, but I'm not sure I'd like to go back to something with such a large bezel.

@adduc aww the Pebble was amazing. I owned the original and what would be deemed as the colour version and loved them to bits. Such a shame it ended the way it did and the larger screen colour version never released.

dm_me_your_secrets, in Plex lays off more than 20 percent of its staff
@dm_me_your_secrets@kbin.social avatar

They lost their way. Jellyfin is the new way!

virr, in Plex lays off more than 20 percent of its staff

I started looking at if Jellyfin can share a library with Plex. (yes, but media layout might be slightly different).

JoGooD, in What do you think is the future of Elon's Neuralink, now that they started experimenting on humans?

Time for our own thoughts to belong to corporations

ZILtoid1991, in What do you think is the future of Elon's Neuralink, now that they started experimenting on humans?
@ZILtoid1991@kbin.social avatar

He kills some of his yes men, gets away with it, then concludes it as a "failed experiment".

LollerCorleone, in GPT-4 driven robot takes selfies, 'eats' popcorn
@LollerCorleone@kbin.social avatar

"Thanks to LLM, we are now free from the iterative labor," the authors said.

Now, they can simply provide verbal instructions describing the desired movements and deliver a prompt instructing the LLM to create Python code that runs the Android engine.

Alter3 retains activities in memory, and researchers can refine and adjust its actions, leading to faster, smoother, and more accurate movements over time.

This is a really interesting application of LLM

Cat, in Google Will Turn Off Cookies for 30 Million People on January 4
@Cat@kbin.social avatar

This is not a great article. So many words with so little information. In other articles I found it sounds like Chrome is finally getting third party cookie blocking. Other browsers have had thir for years. Its nothing new.

Gordon_Freeman, in Google's and Apple's walled gardens will survive Epic’s court win
@Gordon_Freeman@kbin.social avatar

I don't like playing the devil's advocate but the only one with a walled garden is Apple

You can easily install plenty of alternative stores on android if you want (including the epic game store)

ruination, in Polish Hackers Repaired Trains the Manufacturer Artificially Bricked. Now The Train Company Is Threatening Them

This sounds egregious. I don’t really have any knowledge on the subject, but to play the devil’s advocate, could it be possible that the train was bricked because while it can technically still run, it might have some things broken that could lead to hazardous consequences? Again, I have no knowledge on this, I would love if someone who knows more about trains could shed light on this.

LollerCorleone,
@LollerCorleone@kbin.social avatar

Nah, they are probably just mad that the rail company didn't come to them for maintainance and went to someone else (who probably was just as good but cheaper). They are just looking for money.
