New “Recall” feature in Windows 11 is a privacy nightmare (www.theverge.com)

The new “Recall” feature really does look good on paper, but the taking in mind that it catalogues almost everything you do on your computer, it could turn out to be a privacy nightmare. “logging things you do in apps, tracking communications in live meetings, remembering all websites you’ve visited for research, and...

This, running locally (which should be feasible in 2-3 years) would be so cool. I would really dig this on my Fedora computer, I think this is a genuinely good idea and a rare good use case of AI and object detection.

Edit: it seems it is actually running locally thanks to the Snapdragon X Elite’s AI accelerator. Pretty cool stuff though I am sure Microsoft still found a way to make this another intrusion to the users privacy.

So that they can say they have a better screen on the marketing, because they know damn well the actual UX will be inferior, so they need a selling point

I want to go back in time to when I didn’t know it so bad, the first half is slow, but when it starts oh does it get GOOD. Everything is so good in this game, even if I was spoiled the ending, it didn’t even affect what the ending made me feel. >!Like I’m really not the type to cry in front of movies and stuff, but after a 50 hours adventure, i actually felt sad.!<

I’m pretty sure landlines are mostly VoIP now, at least in Canada. Every home phone plan I could find (with picurest of old people of course lol) were VoIP based, which also allows small competitors here to at least have some phone options, because the big companies don’t have to sell bulk prices of their cellular towers to smaller competitors.

Love the project, but I would really like if they stopped looking like a bootleg iOS. Stock android is fine, especially after Material 3. Also the name is annoying to type in an URL bar.

GSMArena | Sony Xperia 10 VI review (www.gsmarena.com)

Got to agree with the conclusion of the review, while this seems like a decent offering (and I personally like the “retro” look), for Є400, you might as well get a A55 with a much better screen and probably longer security support (Android OS updates aren’t that important these days).

In 2021 I ordered from mi4canada, they were legit at the time, shipped in about a week

Ok, as much as I do not like the esthetics of the new cosmic DE, this is really cool, and it looks like a very good middle ground between Plasma’s over complexity and GNOME’s over simplicity!

I wonder how often it happens but I don’t want to have this in my browsing history…

I got a 128GB dual connector usb-c/usb-a drive, and installed ventoy on it. I have my normal files and for my ISOs I simply put them in the ventoy folder. It works really well.

Oh wow, kind of like apple puts an M chip in iPads now, maybe a throttled version of a Snapdragon X chip could be used to make a phone. Didn’t think of that but that would be very cool

oh, if that means i can use native linux apps on there like on regular chromeos, that would be so cool

I didn’t know about termux x11, I will check it out thanks!

How is proton being dishonest here? I’d like to read your point. They never pitched themselves as a way to protect yourself from the law, they always clearly said they are a confidential email provider, meaning they don’t know what you are sending and receiving. It works like a doctor meeting, the information is very confidential, but not anonymous, it is tied to you even though nobody except authorized parties should be able to access this info.

This post is made semi-jokingly, but it’s still a real question of mine btw. In other words: why is ball hair all fucked up when head hair is so smooth?

independantiste,
@independantiste@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah, but why is it much thicker and less dense? Same for beard and leg hair and every other hair I can think of as well, so for protection? From what (I can think of rubbing maybe)?

Makes sense, thx!

1080p is just fine, but it’s not good and definitely not great. If you’ve tried a high DPI display like the ones on MacBooks, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Using a computer at 200% scaling just makes everything so much more pleasing to look at, especially the text. The pixels are gone, so everything looks sharp and smooth. I really cannot wait for 5K 27" monitors with high refresh rates to come out. This will likely be an instant buy from me, except if it’s like 2 grand.

General high DPI with the same relative UI scale as 24" 1080p, but with much sharper visuals:

24" 4k 27" 5k 32" 6k

And the good thing is you can always set your game to use half the resolution and it will look as if it was the lowdpi equivalent, because the pixels are simply grouped using 3 neighbors, no fractional scale BS.

My laptop has a 3072*1920 screen that I use at 200% scale on Linux, and I wouldn’t buy anything that doesn’t work well at 200%. Apple seem like the only ones who understood this with MacOS that is designed to be used at 200% on basically ALL their retina monitors. this is why they have weird definitions, because they need to hit 200%, and based on the size of the display, a standard resolution won’t reach exactly 200% and the UI will be too small or too large.

They have not made a final decision on packaging it, in fact it’s not even distributed at the moment, you need to compile it yourself. From what I’ve seen they will very likely package it as flatpak when it’s out of alpha/beta
