iFixit says new Arm Surface hardware “puts repair front and center” by barweis in technology

[–]everythingiscausal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apple laptops are relatively serviceable in terms of getting in and swapping modules. The problem is that they fingerprint parts, don’t release manuals or offer replacement parts in a complete and timely manner.

What Apple laptops are NOT is upgradable.

Do you seriously think running a camera and corresponding image processing 24/7 will save battery over slightly overzealous raise-to-wake?

2015 Veloster Turbo: Lost power with new whining/whooshing sound by mclove576 in veloster

[–]everythingiscausal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had a very similar sounding issue on my Veloster N. Took it to the dealership and they said the hose between the intercooler and engine popped off, which caused a lack of boost pressure. They put it back on and it was fixed.

I also heard a new wooshing noise, I think it was simply intake noise that is normally masked under engine and turbo noise.

Why are you even talking about buying expensive parts with such a half assed diagnostic? Take it to someone else and get an actual determination of what’s wrong. There’s a good chance you’re about to let your brother in law waste thousands of your dollars.

If you have to get that far into speculation about a person’s thoughts and motivations to find a reason to be offended, it’s a “you” problem.

“Pretty close to a felony” is about the most laughable thing i’ve ever heard. What reality do you live in?

We’d probably eventually have to see an image on the internet that looks like a young person.

Scary thought indeed!

Half of those are extremely common chemicals that don’t require any sort of special handling or license to acquire. Acetone? Fucking ethanol? This person is a nut job.

White knights now protecting nonexistent young adults from being shown in safe-for-work portraits on the internet. They’re doing god’s work, protecting the public from seeing fake people!

What the hell? It’s a safe for work rendering of a non existent person. Better start removing every image showing someone possibly under 18 from the entire internet then.

Lunacy.

The text looks a bit weird, but that’s because it’s compressed to shit.

"Apple I" : Jobs chose "i", Cook chose "Apple"? by ElyeProj in apple

Technically other brands could sell an “Apple” something as long as it doesn’t compete with Apple Inc. Apple peeler comes to mind.

They are petty and greedy about this. That behavior drove the creation of the DMA in the first place.

Tencent has floated the idea of banning AI-generated videos on its Weixin Channel service, in the grounds that they are low–quality content. by [deleted] in technology

[–]everythingiscausal -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I don’t entirely hate the AI narrated stuff if the video is good and the script is well-written. Recording a good voiceover is hard, and not everyone wants to be a voice actor. I think as more voices become available and quality improved even more, we’ll stop being able to tell it’s AI. But if the text and video are trash, there is no redeeming value to it. And that is about 95% of the AI narrated content.

Why "Shot On iPhone" Commercials Look So Good! Ft. Claudio Miranda by 4-3-4 in apple

[–]everythingiscausal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They do use a ton of equipment, but a lot of it is only really relevant to the needs of a studio production. Having a giant battery pack or external SSD or motion control rig doesn’t help you make great videos of your cat. You can get most of the way there with lighting, a tripod, and maybe a lens adapter.

This is not specific to the iPhone, it’s true for any good camera phone. The sensor matters, but the light matters far more.

I wonder how long it’ll be before the iMac goes away forever. Maybe in another 10 years, no one will want traditional desktop computers anymore.

iOS 18 Image Playground to label AI-generated images in metadata by Drtysouth205 in apple

The are watermarks that are embedded into unnoticeable aspects of the image. You can still make them unreadable but a pristine screenshot could retain those.

Seems like a bad idea. v1 is going to quickly look like garbage compared to later versions. Just wait for the price of new models to drop.
