If you caught the stunning display of Aurora lights last night, please share pictures with us in the comment section? 😊✨🌌

We’ll go first. The pictures below are from Hølen in Norway taken by our Android Developer, Gabriel Janucik.

The conflict between Israel and Hamas is happening online as well as on the ground – with phishing attacks and hacking efforts targeting civilians on both sides.

These are the LEAST expensive wireless microphones I've ever tested. The price is great, but the most important part of a mic is whether it sounds good...

Just installed #archlinux on my computer. Stupidly forgot to install #brltty and #espeakup before rebooting though so now have no speech. Would any sighted person out there be willing to help me login, connect to the internet, and install what I need over a #videocall? It shouldn't take too long, and I don't want to boot from the #usb again. #BeMyEyes is great, but I'd prefer help from someone who knows #linux. #blind #tech #technology #arch

These PBOs will be required to apply to Icasa to assess whether they meet the requirements for having their content zero-rated. Once approved, th ...continues

"Consumer AI is just the new search" anecdote: [1/3]

Casual non-techy coworkers yesterday were talking about using excel reports to analyze data & turns out two of the people use to know how to do something in excel.

So, before this stuff, if you were like, "how do I do X in Excel" in google, you'd get a bunch of hits and then have to wade through the results to see which link was actually what you were looking for, then test out if their solution works.

"Consumer AI is just the new search" anecdote: [2/3]

Now, you do the same thing, but in , even just upload a photo of what you are trying to do, and instead of a bunch of dubious links, you get an answer that probably works. That probability is just as good as the probability after combing through search results yourself, but without the combing.

"Consumer AI is just the new search" anecdote: [3/3]

There are over 1 billion websites with over 30 billion web pages out there on the internet and regular search absolutely sucks now. It's no wonder normies are seeing as magic when it can take 30 billion+ results and give you one answer that's most likely what you are looking for.

Search 3.0

And whoever wins will be the new Google.

A quick check in on the Xiaomi 14, and while this is an awesome camera, it turns out I TOO have issues with condensation and the lens fogging up. Has YOUR Xiaomi suffered similar issues? Has Xiaomi fixed or exchanged your phone?
