Interesting way to put it. The first thing it made me think is that if they did the 2nd part entirely within your PC, would it be ok privacy-wise, and would the consumers be ok with it?

I haven’t looked into the current iterations options, but I think I still want the option to turn it off. Personally I’m less concerned with privacy and more concerned with it using up my computers resources.

I remember seeing a video with the exact same premise, except I think it was a bunch of British actors

Maybe it’s inspired by Rothko

This is how I’m able to sleep without worrying about death, one of these billionaires has got to be funding research so they can live forever. No guarantee they’ll share but that’s at least a less dread inducing issue.

I’m surprised by the lack of buzz for it when it came out. Unless it’s unplayable due to bugs, it usually takes a few days to a week for everyone to figure out that a game sucks and for the number of players to drop. This thing seems to have been dead on arrival which is a bigger mystery.

Still waiting for HTC to make a G3 :-(

Better than an Ad I guess? Not sure if my searches haven’t returned any AI stuff like this or if my brain is already ignoring them like ads.

Sounds like something they should talk about in some kind of summit about security

I’m not defending any companies, just thinking out loud, but I supposed I can see if that’s how it reads.

I was just asking myself why it feels wrong when a machine does it vs when a human does it. By your argument, would it be ok if some poor nobody invented and is using this technology vs a billion dollar company? Is that why it feels wrong?

I’m more trying to figure out why it’s generally acceptable when a human does it vs when a machine does it.

I don’t know for sure, but I think they would be able to adjust settings so that it looks nothing like any original work, but still have the same style, as I’ve seen people do.

Ok, dumb question time. I’m assuming no one has any significant issues, legal or otherwise, with a person studying all Van Gogh paintings, learning how to reproduce them, and using that knowledge to create new, derivative works and even selling them.

But when this is done with software, it seems wrong. I can’t quite articulate why though. Is it because it takes much less effort? Anyone can press a button and do something that would presumably take the person from the example above years or decades to do? What if the person was somehow super talented and could do it in a week or a day?

I usually go to tools, and the option for results in the past year.

Laptop ram hasn’t changed in 25 years, the slots are bulky and not efficient. New laptops need ram closer to the CPU, so they are soldering them on the board, fast and efficient but not upgradable. New slot, more efficient, upgradable, better for consumers so hopefully laptops use this new standard.

Isn’t that Benjamin Franklin or did West Wing lie to me?

No, you see everyone not making something I like is taking stuff away from me personally and that’s what matters above all

That’s like 1 game now

Yep, cert says it expires August 3, 2023

That’s fair, pretty good reason, especially for enthusiasts, to not want to buy it.

For me, I stopped being able to notice any significant lag on my phones 2-3 generations ago. I guess I don’t do anything that requires that much processing power on my phone anymore.

I’ve thought about it some more, and I think I’ve identified what I really want out of a foldable.

I want the promise of the one device to replace a phone, tablet, and laptop. Currently, were no where near that. Hardware wise I think we’re there, but software, we still have a long way to go to get all apps to support a tablet mode.

“Laptop” mode I haven’t even bothered trying for most things. It does work pretty well for work, using RDP, Teams, Outlook.

Love them, tried out the Z Flip 3, Oppo Find N, currently have the Pixel Fold.

I understand that it’s not for everyone and I don’t think it’s a must buy for me, but I really like the form factor and I’m glad for the option.
