Copilot when enmeshed in a full M365 enterprise environment is useful. Some higher up asked me for an update on everyone’s progress on their tasks (no one updates the DevOps board). I open the meeting event and then ask copilot for an update. Since the meeting was recorded and transcribed, it gave me an accurate summary which I copy pasted to the higher up.

Why couldnt the higher up just ask copilot themselves? Corporate organization!!! This and similar are good use cases for copilot.

As a standalone LLM, it’s kind of fun but it’s garbage. Just like ChatGPT. Not reliable, quotes sources but half the time it says the opposite of what the source actually states, completely useless for any task that requires precision or analysis.

It convinces the higher ups that it’s good though. And this is because higher ups are mostly completely technology-illiterate. Most people are tech illiterate too.

I installed in on my pixel 3a. It was neat when I tried Ubuntu touch in 2012 and it felt like a throwback to back then when I first booted it recently.

I remember living in an era where the market decided what was successful and what wasn’t. Good times?

Fun aside but I went into one of these heavily moderated adult communities on Meta and I was using a headset that was enterprise controlled so it had no personal meta account attached which meant I didn’t have an avatar.

When I showed up I appeared as a featureless grey avatar. I made a lot of friends until the moderator with a heavy southern US accent called me a hacker (because I was grey and featureless) and started genuinely freaking out and yelling.

A whole crowd gathered around me and some people were saying that I was a government agent (lol) and another suggested I was Russian. Anyways, they banned me for 7 days which sucked.

I went through a VR witch hunt because I was GREY.

The overwhelming majority of vr world users are children ages 7-14. There are almost no adults. The adults that are there are trying to interact with kids in an environment where there is zero supervision.

Meta Horizon Worlds is a giant unlicensed and unmoderated daycare.

Was America built on pedophelia this whole time? Is this why they “fled Europe” to colonize the new world???

So apparently AI generated CSAM is political? Interesting.

It doesn’t matter. It’s a lie. Ideal conditions and driving the bike at 19km/h achieves that. How many people are going to be driving a top speed of 19km/h on a bike? Their stats are physically impossible given the hardware they’re stating and are relying on people with little knowledge of real world range on electric motorcycles or charge density of solid state vs lion

Yes so even gaming this by driving very slowly, the range isn’t even close

I think it’s irresponsible of the Verge to tout an electric motorcycle’s range as “up to 600km”. It’s absolute fantasy.

I have an electric dirtbike and a gas bike. My gas bike has an 11.1 L tank and can go about 360km per tank.

The highest actual range I’ve seen on an electric motorcycle is about 100km of mixed use (highway and city).

Solid state batteries have the potential capability of having almost double the power density as lithium ion. So approx 200-300km (maybe).

Pretty solid but doubling THAT is just dishonest and in no way going to happen. You’re claiming to have more power density than internal combustion. That’s just straight up dishonest.

That HTC weather widget. Oof.

It just works. It works better than Windows 11 in my experience. I can’t break it. I forget it’s there. I just do computer stuff. Like video editing, gaming, web browsing.

The US government has a financial vested interest in the AI bubble. They will artificially keep the bubble going. The AI bubble collapses when American society and government collapses.

No it’s processed on device. You can even try this with airplane mode. The cutout feature still works even for new photos taken while offline. There is on-device processing of nudes.

And turning it off or on makes no effect. No matter what, it is not possible on an iPhone to use many photo features if the photo is of a nude person.

They already exist on the iPhone. Take a nude. Try and use the cutout feature. Find that you’re absolutely not able to do it. Now find a non nude picture and use the cutout feature. Find that you can absolutely use it.

This stuff is already enacted right now on iPhone.

You do a massive disservice to the overwhelming majority of computer users.

To everyone else: if you want a computer that just works and don’t want to fuck around with the command line, Bazzite is perfect. It should be recommended over Linux Mint.

Bolo bolo but it’s the internet.

The most expensive game I own is Baldurs Gate 3 (@ $70 CAD) and it’s the only game that was worth full price in my 12 years of activity on steam and over 250 games purchased. My next most expensive game was $30 CAD and I only bought a few games that high.
