Get ready for MS365 to go up in price.

I don’t want AI on my PC..

the inherent issue with AI is, that to make it more competent you have to make it more complex. More complexity means more required processing power and ram usage, and an exponential increase in training time and material. Against that equation, what AI thing are people actually prepared to pay for ?

Yeah I noticed it's in a context menu click in excel now too :( I don't want it. Have done all I can to turn it off but not yet found a full removal. I just don't want any client side AI that' I'm not running myself - I'm happy with browser-based so I can control exactly what I enter. As to revenue stream - it'll need to be real expensive. It's basically gonna be a massive power sink, kinda like bitcoin etc, which can only mean expensive to run. I don't mind the LLMs as a glorified search engine, but they're woeful at being any kind of 'intelligent'. Horrendous logic flaws and outright making stuff up without indicating that it's made up. I hope the fad dies tbh. It's damn good at figuring out what wall of 'random' text represents but, and reformatting json etc into something normal people can read, so it does have its place

I would pay if Microsoft could provide a feature to turn off and remove all forms of AI. It is not only annoying but completely useless.

I got Samsung S24 plus that has AI and it wants to login to use and I dont login so I can avoid these fad.

As an individual coder I'm paying over $100/month in AI I never have before just to write code 10x faster and I can't imagine going back. So there's some right there.

Apple does not compromise on its users'privacy. See how they block subpoenas to access iphones in criminal cases. Way more trust.

Windows recall will kill windows if it comes out.

It looks like a new Free Open Source OS needs to be created.

Also, when this ultimately fails and they drop the service all those vehicles will become brain dead.

Remember when the AM radio was an option in new vehicles?

They already started it with MyChevrolet app. I suspect that the first, possibly second year after the new car purchase they'll include these features for free and then after you get used to them the subscription starts or you get nothing. I don't blame GM for maximizing their revenues, after all we live in a capitaistic country. I blame the dumb public for buying into it. I suspect that other smaller car companies will continue to use CarPlay and AndroidAuto, so just stop buying GM products and see how quickly they change. We the public have the power, now we need to use it!

this needs to stop from all of these greedy companies, not only that they steal your data and profit from it !

I have a GMC Truck, it will be my last if this occurs. How people will let themselves be taken advantage of is beyond me. This is a money grab for GM.

The video content is very interesting!I have a side note:Someone sent me a usdt and I have a recovery phrase.:(surge fence muscle flower taxi gadget inject rough stage usage electric retreat).:How should I turn them into Bitcoin?

4. Eating into processing power and storage. We need more responsive and less bloated software, not adding to the burden. Hence Linux has a better computing experience when it come to utilising resources, being more responsive and taxing the hardware less than Windows. Who needs all that clutter that comes preinstalled with Windows? I certainly don't use spotify, xbox (about 4 apps for that one in my new Win11 instalation), someone mentioned even tiktok. WTF? The new installation shouldn't be about going to first remove the bloat I don't want in my machine.

Apple is ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUSTED OR TRUSTWORTHY

Windows Recall is the reason Microsoft is BANNED FROM MY NETWORKS and will never again run on my hardware. No way, no how, this is disgustingly intrusive surveillance. And the fact Microsoft thinks they have the right to shove it down our throats says everything about 2024 corporate filth, in general, because more and more and more corporations are going down the same road. Over my dead body.

Come on, Apple has everything end-to-end encrypted and even have a bounty for system vulnerabilities. Microsoft stored everything in pain text, a simple script can just wait for you and read everything afterwords, there are examples on git. It was a big misstep, and not that useful in the first place. The one thing they have with AI actually useful like copilot for word and exel, you have to pay a subscription for. Windows became an advertisement platform for Microsoft to sell you stuff, that's it.

Recall will either kill NPU CPUs or Windows

Nobody wants that Spyware. The more MS tries to force it on my PC, the more I know they have bad intends

How can I trust a guy who isn't using an adblocker in 2024? Bug off.

Don't need it, Don't want it, Don't want it installed... and EVERY IT person i talk to in corporate and educational IT says THEY don't want it

Demn very good review. Kindly share where you got this information. I'd like to be in more detailed for it.

Be careful with perplexity. If you have Pro subscription you can't be sure that they cancel your pro subscription and tell you that you did it! like recently they did that to many users.

Simpy fascism. Nothing more, nothing less.

AFAIK there was some wiggle room in EU sanctions, a gray zone if you will, until the last day of june or july, not sure, when the very next day new sanctions would come into place that cracked down on those options, those little grey zones. (BTW there was no news talking about it.) And the new thing was also that you, as an employer of a company picking a phone and giving to other company some technical support about an item in warranty, for example, could personally face jail time, together with your company president. (And "the other company" doesn't even have to be on any list.) This closed all the backdoors completely in a single day and all business went from something small-ish to zero. I would guess this was not the end of the story, but more of an evolving thing,a cat and mouse type of game going on. So why now and not before? I would suggest this is why.

"So whilst they can credibly claim they're not actually copying the data or the content" Let me stop you right there. This is categorically incorrect and demonstrably untrue given that overfitting happens as a phenomenon at all. Saying that this is a 'replica' within the LLM is a rather copious way of avoiding saying that it is a copy; that's what a 'copy' 'is'. Trying to insist otherwise is like saying that me scanning a document isn't a copy because I didn't photocopy it, but it's merely a replica within a computer system. They absolutely ARE copying the data. That is LITERALLY what is fundamentally required. There is no step in this process where a copy of the training data is not made. You may not like to accept this, but that is all that is required to trigger a copyright violation. Even downloading a copy and prepping it for training for use in an LLM is already more than enough to trigger a copyright violation. Perplexity's argument that nobody owns facts is true, but that rings hollow precisely because that is not what is happening here. It's a very amateurish deflection. What they are doing from a copyright standpoint is creating derivatives off of the copyrighted works and then competing against the original copyright holders. This is classic non-fair use at all. They are in deep trouble and they know it. It has nothing to do with publicly 'facts'. They are merely trying to use a false equivalence between how humans 'learn', because we can 'look' at copyrighted works and derive facts from it, vs. how machines 'learn' which fundamentally require making copies of fixed expressions of copyrighted works. (Which, humans do not. Please show me where that fixed copy is mechanically made the same way mechanized systems do, in the human brain)

Is there a law that makes web scraping illegal? If not, it is up to media companies to implement measures like CAPTCHAs to protect their data. The Ninth Circuit ruled that scraping publicly available data does not violate the law. Prelexity AI scrapes publicly available data and summarizes it to answer queries. If these outdated media companies make their webpages scrapable, they have no right to control what is done with the data. They can not claim only monopolies like Google can scrap their data for search indexes, while prevent Ai companies from doing they same . If they cant make moeny they, the should be obsolete like Kodak , nokia etc . Another companies with better revenue sharing models would take their place .

Any publicly available web articles can be queried, searched, and scraped. No one forced them to make their articles searchable.

Apparently the issue is that they're employees of Russian firms and their emails belong to said firms, the Linux foundation cannot do business with Russian companies and that includes accepting contributions from them

if these people have active Russian citizenship, i think it's justifiable, but if they're just "Russians" (ie born and raised in Russia, but changed citizenship later), that'd be a very concerning development. not to mention that IT is about the only career path that allows to reliably emigrate from Russia (being rich is other thing, but rich people live in communism, to them there is no war and all the borders are open).

The war in Ukraine is two years and a half old at this point =(

Direct quote from network security specialist, who has ipad pro with magic keyboard as daily driver: ”iPad is pretty much the most secure computer I can think of”. Very few people except Apple customers can be sure that if their phones, computers and tablets are taken, the criminals (or police/government for that matter) cannot get any personal data out of them.

Thanks!

Smells to me like: The See-Aye-AY and the Evbee-i have too much of their own infrastructure invested in their gangsterized implementation of the back doors on all that architecture's hardware and software...This is the first time in history the tech powers have ever circled the wagons in the opposite direction of innovation and improvement. www.3 is growing in regions that are built on x86... think about it.

Great video!

I almost thought something like that. Such a shit.

Once google gets to the point where they just scrape everything and present it almost as an AI chat result allowing google to even access your content becomes suicide. The problem is that everyone as a block would need to prevent it to starve them out, if you shut them off only you lose in the short run.This is why somebody has to put some external controls on google.

Battle of the two most corrupt organizations on the planet. Great.

IF THIS STUPID THING HAPPENS, some products from a large Asian country will take up the slack in the market, and Logitech will be a footnote in history.

Right now the only market for this type of thing are drones and that’s saturated. Beyond that, these have to be below $300 (today’s $) and compatible with PC, PS5, steam deck, etc.

Logitech is disgusting. Just disgusting.

As a Corsair fanatic, I have 7 Corsair mice and the CHEAPEST was $80, with others being well over $100, I could totally see Corsair trying this but Logitech? WTF man. And who needs "mouse software" updates. You can literally plug in an old PS2 mouse with a USB adapter and it still works. Admittedly I no longer use any Logitech gear at all except for a speaker set and old rechargeable optical mouse but I sure as hell will never touch their products again. This time it was "only an idea" once your bought in they can at any time make it mandatory.

They’re betting on VR because they can’t innovate anymore. They all just latch on to the same idea that someone else came up with instead of coming up with their own ideas.

I don’t understand how to have brand loyalty to any brand that wants to make subscription models for things that I will physically be owning

It's just an idea... Uh huh, problem is we're already drowning stupid shit that started out as "just an idea".

I will say goodbye to Logitech forever if it goes by way of a subscription. I'm not buying anything from them until I know for sure this isn't going to happen. If products I have purchased fail to work without subscription, I'll see them in court - not kidding!
