“Most people are not aware of the resource usage underlying ChatGPT,” Ren said. “If you’re not aware of the resource usage, then there’s no way that we can help conserve the resources.”

In July 2022, the month before OpenAI says it completed its training of GPT-4, Microsoft pumped in about 11.5 million gallons of water to its cluster of Iowa data centers, according to the West Des Moines Water Works. That amounted to about 6% of all the water used in the district, which also supplies drinking water to the city’s residents.

Why do women still face criticism and trolling over the way they dress, walk and look. People give their unwanted opinion upon their life decisions. When will they let women live on their own terms without being constantly judged?

The famous Indian actress, Deepika Padukone recently became the target of intense online trolling after revealing her baby bump when she came to cast her vote in Mumbai.

Should you build your own NAS or buy a pre-built?

An interesting read, and I have to say I do lean more towards building your own. I did buy a bare-bones NAS by D-Link many years ago because you could add your own hard drives, but what I discovered after a few years was there were no more software ...continues

Funnily enough, Microsoft threw AMD and Intel under the bus.
NONE of the current selling "AI" PCs qualify for the "CoPilot" branding.
Who knows, maybe you don't want that new Microsoft Recall feature on your system anyway?

Good idea. You wouldn't want someone looking at and sharing private information on your screen.

So this makes sense, and many of you will probably know this, but that the "print screen" button on our keyboards used to print the actual screen.

Accessibility isn't a luxury or a burden—it's essential and affordable.

The negligence and indifference embedded in current designs are a direct affront to inclusivity and equity.

It's time to stop treating accessibility as an afterthought and recognize that without it, everything remains fundamentally broken.

@marcel @miriamkl so then #AI is digitised exploitation in order to turn away from responsibility as a #human being and yet #profit and be praised as progressive because of the #technology? let's think about whether there was something like this besides #cryptocurrencies and older similar behaviour? 🤔 </rhetoric-question>
