I totally agree, but hopefully with some advocacy we can get it from 99 to 98%. Doesn’t sound like much, but that’s 2 million people who have switched then, and whoever else may live in their house using their non-routers.

They actually did. They called it Google Play Music, and Google TV/Google Play Videos. I paid for those. Youtube Music and Youtube premium are the enshittified versions of those, and they will continue to make them worse.

Routers are incredibly simple. You can run your own using openwrt or opnsense. Then some dumb switches and access points and you’re good to go.

Oh don’t worry, I’m there, I’ll happily give money to them

This used to be the case, but it’s a different equation now. Ads used to be one or two per video. Fine, I get there are bills to pay.

Now it’s pure greed and pushing us to a subscription for a service they purposely made shitty so we would think exactly what you are. 4-5 ads, with forced ads interrupting the videos, and auto redirects to more ads after the video fonishes. Unskippable multi-minute ads.

And if you’re thinking “well then just pay for it”, tell that to Netflix, Hulu, and all of the streaming services that were “ad-free” until they decided that actually, pay twice as much or watch ads (even though your paying).

So while I understand you’re saying, you’re assuming Google will play fair. They won’t. They will up the price, they will still force ads, and it will get worse. I’m taking a stand now saying enough is enough. I’m not rewarding them for enshittifying the service.

Oh he’s clearly very desperate for the hype to keep going. His ass is literally on the line. (I mean, golden parachute, but he’ll never work again), so no more infinite money glitch.

I forget who said it, but if AI doesn’t literally surpass all current realms of thinking and automate everything, i.e. what they promised, it has failed. To the investors it means it failed. With that, the stock does not continue up exponentially, which to investors also means it failed. Then they demand he resign, and they put someone else in there.

He could have stayed realistic through the whole thing. “Hey everyone, we’re learning day by day, and we’re proud to be the chipmakers to bring this to you.” Modest growth, but sustainable long term growth. Instead they drank the kool-aid full on, and said that it’ll cure all disease and wipe out hunger and everything else. Now he’s freaking out because all of the latest ideas are duds, people aren’t buying the hype anymore, and that means Jensen might be looking at the end of his tenure.

I could see those brownies being real. I can see a lot of brownies being sold through this

This how stupid is the best advice. Setting up my instance was easy. Learning how liable I was for what others put there was something completely different.

That’s why whenever I see another 2 day account looking for “free speech” and “no moderation” my answer is always “sure, you go host it then!” I’m not going to jail because you want to say horrible shit.

Definition of an abusive relationship. Treated you bad for years but they do one small nice thing and they want endless praise. They’re just going to go back to hurting you tomorrow

Balkan parents share a lot with Midwestern american parents.

No no we can’t use those plates! Those are your inheritance!

Yah I’ve heard enough “commitments” from corporations to know that it’s written on toilet paper. Let me know when they actually change things, until then it’s empty words

Shocked. Absolutely shocked. Don’t you see how shocked I am?

Unplanned crash like all this tells me RAM. I would say disk, but if you can’t get to even a boot disk (which loads to ram) then I say ram. Watchdog too to me says ram because it sounds like it tried to write and failed. Run memtest and see what happens

This is good. Nvidia and ram manufacturers showed how reliant we are on them, and took advantage of their monopolies. It makes absolute sense that other govs will be looking to make them in house now, china being the most obvious. The nvidia and them will cry saying it’s unfair they have to compete again, and the us go will do something stupid for short term gains while the rest of the world plans long term.

This should be taught in MBA and finance classes for how Bros get caught up in a hype cycle and how it’s all bullshit

So what you didn’t want to read the rest of that and just jumped to insulting me? I’ll never be ashamed of learning new information and adjusting my views.

Son look up all of the other comments that said that and also where I responded to it already.

I really enjoyed Gifable, a self-hosted gif library. It was great, albeit a bit feature light. About 3 years ago the maintainer stopped maintaining and went AFK, nothing to be heard of then. I’ve since forked it, and I’ve been working on some new features to hopefully bring it up to speed. (Things like S3 storage, using AI image captioning to auto-caption your memes, categories, and hopefully full matrix integration), but it’s a slog.

First I asked it how to create a dump file. I hooked up ADB debugging to my phone, then used the scooter’s app as normal, with the logging turned on in Android developer tools. It created a very long and complex dump file of hex that I could not understand.

However, then I had Claude get to work. I describe that in that I had opened the scooter’s app, and turned it on, paused a few seconds, then turned it off and closed the app. It started attempting to mimic the commands through the computer’s local bluetooth device, to get a successful response. Eventually, after something like 20 attempts it found a hidden clue that was basically a pattern that it had detected, and it was able to finally get an ACK from the scooter. Something I would have never been able to do. From there we have a plan on how to map out all of the other commands, but it was a huge win for the day.

Personally it’s what I use them for the most. I do not have the time to reverse engineer arbitrary things like this. I have a scooter that uses Bluetooth BLE which has no connectivity beyond that. I’ve been using Claude to help reverse engineer the protocol to hopefully get a home assistant integration up and running.

Claude can see things I can’t, patterns in hex that are coming back, I send in results from wireshark and it can try ad neaseum to try and get something working. Right now it’s about half working. When I have time I’ll keep plugging away. Then hopefully other people will be able to use it, and we can have one less vendor locked in device
