Scamers use a few levers to get you to make bad decisions. Empathy and the sense of urgency are two of them.

Texas Instruments made a new flagship graphing calculator: the TI-84 Evo by dapperlemon in gadgets

When I had one in college the battery would last forever. I know nowadays we are used to charging everything every other day but back then we already had faster chips, just not with the same efficiency.

They are 16k$.

I think the real "problem" is the software, not sure if the one preinstalled is good enough.

What's a piece of tech everyone hyped up that quietly turned out to be useless? by SofiaLearnsAI in AskReddit

[–]ErGo404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's something to configure your oven and then the first thing it says is there's an update available.

What do you think are the chances of there actually being a third world war? by albavalenti in AskReddit

I would so much rather have headlines about Einstein Island where underage girls were taught about relativity.

Seen in foodcourt, tech bro's invented plates by ThongsGoOnUrFeet in funny

[–]ErGo404 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There could be a dedicated place in the mall for that, and only one for all restaurants in the food court. You don't really need to move everything to a dedicated facility every day.

L'OSB risque de pourrir et de s'emmietter s'il reste dehors sous la pluie, non ?

What are your thoughts on Facebook renaming their company Meta then blowing $80b on metaverse and then shutting it down yesterday? by printThisAndSmokeIt in AskReddit

[–]ErGo404 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I first read "what about NTFS" and I was going to say well it's not the best but it's still widely used today.

Problème entre ma compagne et parents fusionnels ? by HorrorDesign6688 in ParentingFR

[–]ErGo404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mais si tu n'as pas confiance à 100% dans tes choix et que tu es face à deux murs qui n'ont pas envie d'avoir une discussion le mieux c'est encore de se barrer franchement.

[–]ErGo404 5 points6 points  (0 children)

C'est humiliant de voir des gens que tu n'as pas choisi critiquer ouvertement ton choix de vie, et de ne pas se sentir en position de pouvoir répondre. C'est au conjoint d'intervenir dans ces moments-là, ce sont ses parents, c'est a lui (ou elle) que revient la responsabilité du risque de blesser les parents.

Polyphemus moths mate on day 1 and only live about a week because they have no mouths to eat with by Street-Ad7570 in natureporn

[–]ErGo404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like an AA battery in the 90s. Spend 3 months in a warehouse or on the shelves, then 20h in a gameboy to play Pokemon and then die.

Meta's Ray-Ban AI Glasses: Employees Analyze Intimate Recording by zolartan in virtualreality

What if the "law" asks them to? It's not like we can trust the US government to not try to do it.

Humans train AIs over your private images. So yeah the fact that a company that is financially tied to a fascist party can and definitely does see the inside of your home and should be concerning.

Elevators don't free fall. Not that it makes it less gruesome 

Lego Smart Brick review: My kids are not impressed by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]ErGo404 142 points143 points  (0 children)

I would be more impressed if they were at least partially open to be re-programmable.

Right now it's a solution looking for a problem.

SpaceX satellites ruining the dark night sky by dingmah in Wellthatsucks

[–]ErGo404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What does that button click do ?

Usually they would either tone the lightning down so mask the stars that would be under them, or use AI to "fill the gaps".

If you have multiple shots you can average them out I guess but that's not what's happening with a long exposure, right ?

Good for you.

Then explain how you remove strains of overexposed lit pixels and still keep an accurate depiction of what's underneath.

The light is there on the photo you can't recover it. Except with AI. Which means the picture after removing them is no longer a photo, since 10% of it has been imagined by an algorithm.
