The whole telemetry stuff isn’t even new - I’m in the process of rooting and building custom firmware for my 2018 Panasonic OLED running Firefox OS, it doesn’t look to have as much as the newer sets, but there is still far more than I’m comfortable with.
Managed to establish root via a tv data channel, just working out the custom firmware and rollback options (it does an A/B firmware thing, just making sure there is a path back if I goof something).
That's because it's the Ukrainian name for the capital, Kiev was the old soviet one.
Yup, that wins in simplicity, but a deckchair is almost as simple, and is a lot more comfortable
That looks awfully uncomfortable, I suspect that it will rapidly fall apart under stress and leave nice sharp splinters of fibreglass everywhere, including in your skin.
Seems like you get stuck on corners and it really doesn't like running up/down slopes, neat though.
These days it could also be Most vaunted prompt
Weird, I've never needed to do that - Royal Mail or whichever courier is handling it will either put a note for customs payment through the door (Royal Mail/Parcelforce), or send me an invoice via post or email (any of the other couriers).
"- No indication for whether the CPU/GPU/RAM/SSD are upgradable or all soldered together on the board."
SSD and RAM are user replaceable, CPU and GPU are soldered
Yeah, that's because cuda on a mac isn't a thing - it could be swapped to the normal torch package but you'd have to do some code patching to make sure it's running on mps, even then some of the code may need rewriting/patching if there's no mps version of the cuda kernals.
Not all battery technology is as volatile as Lithium-Ion or Lithium Polymer, LiFePO4 for example isn't subject to thermal runaway, nor are some of the Sodium-Ion batteries (although it's dependent on the exact chemistry being used).
PLA doesn't actually biodegrade outside of specialist industrial facilities, it was much vaunted as an eco friendly thing when 3d printing started using it, but we rapidly found out it can last decades without breaking down much if at all.
I'm in AI Studio, and weirdly I get no safety settings.
I had them before when I was trying this and yes, I had them turned off.
I'm pretty sure these are cherry-picked out of many generation attempts, I tried a few basic things and it flat out refused to do many of them like turning a cartoon illustration into a real-world photographic portrait, it kept wanting to create a pixar style image, then when I used an ai generated portrait as an example, it refused with an error saying it wouldn't modify real world people...
I then tried to generate some multi-angle product shots from a single photo of an object, and it just refused to do the whole left, right, front, back thing, and kept doing things like a left, a front, another left, and weird half back/half side view combination.
Very frustrating.
Not anywhere near as much as the stereotypes/memes/etc would have you believe.
Most of the issue though is the water companies funnelling revenue to shareholders and not maintaining the network, so they lose an awful lot of water through leaking pipes.
The privatisation of critical utilities and infrastructure was such a stupid move.
That said, the recommendation is nonsense, emails and photos make up a tiny fraction of the cooling requirements for data centres.
Yeah, the unformatted capacities of 3.5” floppy disks were:
SS-DD - 512KB
DS-DD - 1MB
HD - 2MB
ED - 4MB
LS (floptical) - 21MB
Technically you could format some of the lower density media in the high density drives and get the expanded capacity (although you may have needed to modify the media a little - holepunch to make an HD drive see a DS-DD disc as “HD”), although it wasn’t always very reliable and depended on the physical media and the capabilities of the individual drives.
Different file systems used the 2*80 tracks differently, hence the different formatted capacity, DOS usually had the lowest, Macintosh in the middle, Amiga had the most (although the Amiga HD floppies were a bit of a cludge - the drive spun at half speed due to a limitation of the Amiga floppy controller, which was also the reason you couldn’t just use a “PC” HD floppy in an Amiga without modification).
I'm expecting sales to drop even further at this point.
Elon is too toxic, and they got distracted with the whole cybertruck nonsense and kicked the model 1/smaller more euro-focused one into the long grass
Yeah, with Japan joining, I'm at least a little hopeful that it will prompt a little more positive action from the government to loosen the purse-strings a bit to get things moving again...
Place in the correct location and pot it correctly (conformal coating) and it won't be an issue.
The reviews/news side did, but the forums kept going until this.
Oh stop with "far left" nonsense, none of our main political parties are much further than slightly left or right of centrist.
I think there's an issue somewhere in Kokoro though which means it doesn't actually take advantage of MPS, I did get a modified version up and running, but it was no faster than CPU, even though it passed all the internal tests using mps.
I might try using F5-TTS-MLX instead actually (https://github.com/lucasnewman/f5-tts-mlx) and see how that does.
The Ninja one and probably the Breville ones will be accurate - I have the same Ninja kettle here in the UK and its 3000Watts vs the US 1500Watts.
and a 25% increase in cost
It's not your definition of a workstation, but for many businesses/locations, it is.
They're deployed by the hundreds, in one or two configurations, then are replaced after 3/5/7 years. They never get repurposed, they just get recycled/refurbished when they reach end of life or the value has been depreciated to zero.
Anyone know if there's anything for non-android Sony and Panasonic tv's?
I'm running Flux dev fine on a 3080 10GB, unquantised, on windows the nvidia drivers have a function to let it spill over into system ram. It runs a little slower, but it's not a deal-breaker unlike nvidia's pricing and power requirements at the moment
None of that contradicts what I posted. What point were you trying to make again?
Yeah, I think the only impact on Apple now is that they finally have to write it into the financial reporting and close the book on it, which means that this quarter has a slightly higher than normal taxation rate?
Might give a slight wobble in the stock price, but that's nothing unusual for AAPL at this time of year anyway.
