Same here. I ditched the google pixel fold after a year because the hardware had some issues, also tbh I prefer the iOS ecosystem. I’m so glad this is coming out.

You think they introduce stronger quantization after a few days?

I’m wondering if you could lure agents to do proof of work for you. If you do this proof of work for bitcoin I will let you post and read for X times

Re:France to ban unsolicited telemarketing calls on Tuesday August 11, 2026 @12:53PM (#49261089)
I think the problem is that you can’t create virtual, domain separated, phone numbers on demand
Re:France to ban unsolicited telemarketing calls on Tuesday August 11, 2026 @12:52PM (#49261073)
I think most legitimate businesses have moved away from phone calls for exactly this reason. In lots of countries they use whatsapp

it's actually interesting that they're not being forbidden to use claude/codex, is Meta paying for it or is it personal accounts?

SWIM got scammed on poshmark a few days ago, as they were selling something they received an email from ethiopia and didn’t pay too much attention and lost $3k

I don't think they value displaying nationalism more, nationalists tend to be very vocal and visible, it's just that the US is full of nationalists. It really is the biggest issue with the US, and why the orange man is president.
Re:Is this the end of the once-mighty GoPro? on Saturday July 18, 2026 @02:23PM (#48960711)
If the current events don't make you think it's not nationalism, then I'm wondering what nationalism even is

The US is weird about its flag, I think because nationalism wasn't seen as a bad thing up until recently. These days it's much weirder to see an American flag, and usually you know it has something to do with MAGAs. The weird thing to me is how you see one massive one in the luggage retrieval area when you arrive in JFK (in New York). Always makes me sigh

Apple reigns because you can't buy Chinese brands in the US

I heard that when some country wants to pay in a different currency than USD for oil, a coup suddenly happens, or a helicopter comes and the president gets kidnapped
Re:Is this the end of the once-mighty GoPro? on Saturday July 18, 2026 @02:18PM (#48960659)
EVs, mobile phones, are two massive industries where Chinese competitors are not only way ahead, but also basically banned.
Re:Is this the end of the once-mighty GoPro? on Saturday July 18, 2026 @02:18PM (#48960654)
I can't read this seriously while being unable to buy any Chinese EVs here in the US.

I've owned a bunch of gopros and I feel like they've always had the same kind of bugs. Random crashes, things not working anymore. It's really bad, so bad that I had plenty of videos that were missing sound, or just corruption in general.

Then they started this subscription thing and I was like, finally, they're going the SaaS way, they will make so much money, and they will be able to improve that camera that basically never seems to improve much version after version. I bought a bunch of put options, and I lost all my money, every time I put back some in the put options.

Now I have the insta360 go ultra and... I think go pro is going to die. It's just so good.

Re:Codex starts encrypting sub-agent prompts on Tuesday July 14, 2026 @10:50AM (#48907810)
if you're running in YOLO mode you already don't care, what matters are the tool calls and these can't be encrypted
I've been very curious about these, because of course these are measures that are anti-tech in a number of ways (or at least unpopular in the tech circle).

I have trouble understanding why Sanders has decided to be vocal about these, especially as he's been on the right side of the societal debate fence since forever. My guess is that he cares more about what AI is going to do for the common people, and he knows that we need to have this debate early (obviously, technology seems to increase disparity in places like the US). But still I'm not sure he's taking a stab at it in the right way.

For New York state (not city, no Mamdani), it seems like it's a much more pragmatic view: it increases people's costs (energy, water, etc.) and there's too much tax exemption(/evasion) for data centers currently.

Re:DOGE is done. What happened to its records? on Monday July 13, 2026 @01:52PM (#48896261)
You’re wrong. The execution failed because it was backed by (white supremacist) ideology. COGE is a new attempt at the idea taking place in New York, and much better orchestrated.
We really need a real facebook app again, something we only use with close friends or people we meet irl to become friends
