You need to provide actual evidence that it is.

How do you expect me, or anyone else, to provide you with the inner working details of Google’s surreptitiously closed-as-fuck custom SoCs? That’s the entire basis of the problem, it’s closed-as-fuck and there is nothing that you or I or anyone else can do to verify that it isn’t malicious.

At this point, you have to choose whether or not to trust the manufacturer. Given that the manufacturer is the most notoriously data-hungry surveillance corporation in the history of the entire world, I choose not to trust them. I wouldn’t trust them, even if they were to claim not to spy on us with these phones. (Incidentally, that is not something they claim.)

Graphene is the biggest joke of them all. Only works on Google hardware? lmao

You’re right, the general is FPTP. That’s dumb.

NYC uses ranked choice voting, so this poll result is expected. If someone’s first choice was Cuomo in the primary, why should they change that? They can put Mamdani second.

I agree with you, ranked choice voting does make the whole concept of primaries largely redundant. And yes, Cuomo, along with other party bourgeois, is turncoat for not endorsing Mamdani after the primary.

You’re absolutely right! Dreamcast and Saturn make a very good point: The major players are dragging their feet way longer than is warranted.

Hi, are you able to share more about the power efficiencies of each type of sensor? Some cursory browsing of TI datasheets gives me the impression that both types use a similar amount of power. I may be missing some context, though.

I did also find this cool report there. Could be pertinent, although from what I understand of the technology I don’t see why you couldn’t use the same techniques to save power with a digipot.

It would be, if that were the case.

This article is not alledging a systematic pattern of stick drift in the Switch 2, like there was with the Switch. It isn’t even saying that so much as a single case of stick drift has been found.

What it’s saying is that the Switch 2 still uses potentiometers, a technology which can be susceptible to stick drift. You know, like every single other major console ever launched. So, as of now, we have no particular reason to believe that the Switch 2 will drift worse than the PS5 or any other system.

That said, all the major players are dragging their feet a bit longer on Hall effect sticks a little bit longer than is warranted, Nintendo included.

Isn’t Argentina also being run by a sexist egotistical populist TV star who’s destroying their government from the inside out? Out of the frying pan and into the fire…

That is a big issue, but excessive power consumption isn’t intrinsic to AI. You can run a reasonably good AI on your home computer.

The AI companies don’t seem concerned about the diminishing returns, though, and will happily spend 1000% more power to gain that last 10% better intelligence. In a competitive market why wouldn’t they, when power is so cheap.

Yup. This goes way deeper than Trump, conservative undermining of education has been in the works for decades, since Reagan. Adam Conover explains it well in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlAb_8bDHjE

People didn’t go to Bluesky because of an informed choice based on features or security. People went to Bluesky because that’s where everyone they want to follow went.

• Veganism?

Hold up, you think the vegans are in the wrong? You can say that they’re annoying, but in terms of ethics and morals it’s not even an argument. It’s fine to not like tofu or whatever, but there is no amount of verbal gymnastics anyone can do to even begin to justify the modern meat and dairy industries. That shit is basically Animal Auschwitz times a billion.

Yes, I understand that. Perhaps I was not empathetic enough, I am sorry to hear that about your family being deceived, along with the rest of mainland China.

The fact that the oppressive CCP won does not mean they were right. The world is not a Disney movie, the good guys don’t always win.

“Vindicated” just means that the good guys were good. Whether or not they won.

It’s possible English isn’t your first language? No worries.

The word “vindicated” doesn’t mean “won in the end,” it means “they were right.” As in, justified in their demands, on the right side of history. Even of the protests I listed in my first comment, half of them didn’t actually win in the end (Vietnam, Occupy, Gaza, and arguably more).

From Wikipedia:

…(the Seven Demands) for the government:

1. Affirm Hu Yaobang’s views on democracy and freedom as correct.
2. Admit that the campaigns against spiritual pollution and bourgeois liberalisation had been wrong.
3. Publish information on the income of state leaders and their family members.
4. Allow privately run newspapers and stop press censorship.
5. Increase funding for education and raise intellectuals’ pay.
6. End restrictions on demonstrations in Beijing.
7. Provide objective coverage of students in official media.[84][83]

I hope that you’d agree that the students were in the right, and that the oppressive CCP was in the wrong?

Thank you for bringing those up. However, unless I’m misunderstanding them, the only one of those where the protesters were in the wrong were the pro-segregation protests, correct? But weren’t those protests by-and-large made up of parents? (Perhaps along with some of their children doing what they were told?) Not exactly the “rebellious youth sticking it to the man” we generally mean by the words student protest.

Let’s see…

• Nazism
• McCarthyism
• Vietnam War
• Racial Injustice
• South African Apartheid
• Occupy Wall Street
• Gaza Genocide
• etc.

I am curious. Has there ever been a wide-scale student protest movement that WASN’T unequivocally vindicated by history?

Oh great, another Putinbot spouting reams of misinformation.

Trying to clean up the whole mess from your firehose of bullshit is a fool’s errand, but here are a couple counterpoints for the benefit of anyone not already familiar with the relevant history:

1. The war in Ukraine was not “civil.” It was being waged by Russian troops acting as “separatists,” a disguise so thin that the only ones to buy it were on Russian state TV.

2. Every single escalation in the conflict was by Russia, ever since the hostile takeover of Crimea.

3. The military strength of Russia compared to NATO is so ridiculously lopsided that the only way Russia could possibly “win” is if they’re able to sabotage NATO from the inside, for instance by manipulating foreign elections enough to put a Russian puppet in charge.

I’ll leak the email address of my YouTube user account for the bargain price of just $9,999

“Putin’s puppet administration says NATO should cede everything to Putin, news at 11.”
