I have a Z flip and while it’s far from perfect, foldable flip phones are great and I’d choose them over a same-spec regular phone every day. Much more convenient to carry in my pocket compared to a slab and basically having an included tripod for photos is pretty nice as well.
Google Glass was not AR. They were “smart glasses” with severely limited functionality for an extremely high price. That’s mainly why they failed, not the privacy backlash. The majority of people don’t care about privacy, just look at what information people put on the Internet.
I don’t see the point of this. Why would a mouse need constant software updates? I could plug in a 20 year old mouse and it would work just fine on my PC, no updates needed.
Bromite is abandoned and unsafe to use, the latest release is like 2 years old. Use Cromite for an up to date fork or better yet something not Chromium based like Mull.
Source? In Germany at least that’s not the case, it’s mainly the conservatives who push for it. In the original vote, only the greens clearly opposed it. Later on, SPD (center-left) and FDP (liberal) changed course to also oppose it. Couldn’t find results for other countries though, so I’m genuinely curious.
Either way they can just give it a new name and change some details to propose it again. Like how they made it “voluntary” this time (but you can only send text if you don’t agree).
Nice. I guess they didn’t expect to get a majority to support it anymore. Definitely a win for now, but I’m sure they’ll try again.
If you have a short-ish email address, someone might have just set it as their recovery address by mistake. I also have a pretty old, short gmail address and people have registered it as their recovery address before, so I would get mails whenever they logged in on a new device etc. Don’t think those were phishing attempts, just people being technologically inept.
I suppose a better way to phrase it is- why is an NPU necessary? What does it enable these machines to do that a Surface sans NPU can’t?
It can basically handle neural network/AI tasks more efficiently than a regular CPU/GPU can.
And yes, these are business-oriented. But my question remains the same - is built-in AI a feature that businesses, as consumers of this product, are asking for?
Yes, deserved or not, AI is currently on everyone’s mind in the business world. Working as a software dev, every client these days asks if we “do AI”, so we pretty much have to reluctantly learn and use it. And many of those clients are very protective of their data and don’t just want to put them on some web service, like OpenAI. So there’s certainly demand for locally running AI tasks.
Like the article states: it contains an NPU. It’s also not targeted at consumers.
I’d much rather have them be overzealous and mistakenly block an addon for a few hours than have them be too lax and approve addons actually stealing data.
