@schizanon it's such a fun upgrade. Even silly things like backing up devices to my NAS. It's so fast...

Maybe not something I'd be flashing around like it's "dope" or "bad".
Hackers penetrate and ravage delicate private and publicly owned computer systems, infecting them with viruses and stealing sensitive materials for their own ends.
These people are terrorists.

It's my favorite gag in the movie, how the FBI guy just keeps repeating the same canned speech about those EVIL hackers. I love it.

Apple is partnering with OpenAI to improve Apple's lagging AI strategy, but we still don't know what the deal looks like.
https://somegadgetguy.com/b/45u

Is Apple paying OpenAI? Is OpenAI paying Apple?

This is a tough partnership for Apple, as the optics on AI in general run counter to the marketing Apple has poured into "privacy".

Shareholders must be REALLY excited though...

I've just read the amazing post by Musk that if a former president can be criminally convicted of...... loads of crimes..... then so can YOU!

Sorry everyone. We all have to stop doing loads of crimes now. Trump has spoiled it for the rest of us. He crimed too hard. His only crime?...... crime.

OnePlus 12 Camera Conclusion! https://somegadgetguy.com/b/45r

The exciting thing about tech, we're seeing a race to get better camera tech into lower and lower priced phones. OnePlus is battling well against iPhone Pros and Galaxy Ultras, but at SIGNIFICANTLY lower prices!

A whole slate of new laptops are coming, and of course, manufacturers are trying to impress us with THINNESS! What about test driving a machine at the complete OPPOSITE of the thinness spectrum? https://somegadgetguy.com/b/45T

It's so rad to do a sponsored video like this, and the first thing they ask is "Can you blast our laptop with a hose?"

It's big, thicc, and chunky, but there are SO MANY things on this Getac I wish I had on "regular" thin laptops...

There's just something so on brand about seeing a boomer waddle into a circle K, climbing out of a Ford station wagon, with a black "American" Flag decal on a back window, flying USA and Trump flags, parked horizontally across a handicapped space, AND the loading area for a wheel chair.

Samsung Scummy Repair Contract Forces Shops to Destroy YOUR Phone! iFixit Drops Samsung Partnership!

https://somegadgetguy.com/b/45n

Samsung forces repair shops to sign a TERRIBLE contract, that requires technicians to destroy your phone if they find non-Samsung parts in your device! iFixit is dropping their partnership with Samsung.

Why isn’t this bigger news?

for all the in the fediverse, what is your best choice of carry on bag if you have to carry gadgets and equipment?

@pizzatorque Depends on what you need to carry, but I always like a good camera bag/sling with lots of pouches and compartments.

Happy Memorial Day!
I hosted a shorter stream this week, but we still geeked out on a LOT of tech news!
https://somegadgetguy.com/b/45h

Samsung had a BAD week. Folks were shocked by Apple's WiFi tracking. Rumors tricked people into thinking Microsoft was going to buy Valve. And I FINALLY finished X-Men 97!

Shares always appreciated!

Anyone else's Google Assistant going crazy? On my OnePlus 12 and my Pixel tablet, this survey notification is replicating like crazy. Keep wiping them out, but they keep coming back.

Is Wayne Brady gonna have to Mute Assistant notifications???

The hilarious thing about Microsoft going all in on AI with #CoPilot and #Recall, they threw Intel and AMD under the bus. The whole last year of "AI PCs" won't get features like Recall.
The consumer reaction to Recall has been overwhelmingly negative, but all these companies are afraid of shareholders and investors wanting more AI hype to make stock prices look good.
But #AMD and #Intel have all these chips made that are falling in price fast.
You can find some CRAZY deals on computers right now that WONT run Recall, but are over-kill powerful for home systems.

https://somegadgetguy.com/b/45e

Mini PC's used to sell chips that were two or three years old. This Geekom is using AMD's current laptop chip, with 32GB of RAM, and 2TB of storage for $899!

It's a REAL good time to shop a NON Recall compatible PC.

@mordoc There are already apps that do similar things for the MacBook, but nothing built into the OS so far.
The inherent distrust of Microsoft will deliver significantly more criticism of a feature like that than Apple doing the same or worse at the OS level.
Describe what Recall is to anyone, and I'd guess seven out of ten squint while you describe it.

@Overlander_1 It's not about consumers or end users. This is panic reacting to try and keep shareholders happy and stock prices high.

Google blew it. They could have stood back and said: "Ha! Microsoft is so desperate for hype, it is irresponsibly linking LLMs to Bing. Google instead stands for reliable search and won't do that." But instead, Google did. They knew better. They all knew better. LLMs have no sense of meaning. They should be nowhere near the expectation of credibility.

@jeffjarvis But the line Jeff??? The LINE MUST GO UP!!!

Won't someone PLEASE think of the shareholders?!?!?

I just really hope Apple is preparing a metric hectare of reassurances if (big if!) they’re about to announce a deep partnership with OpenAI.

Like, reassurances about the environmental impact (all that work down the drain?), about the training data sources, about general ethics, about the cringy move-fast-and-break-things startup-bro vibes that they will then inherit onto their brand, etc…
