    Playing a bit of a devil’s advocate here but you could argue that AGI used in science could help fix climate change. For example what if AGI helps in fusion energy? We are starting to see AI used in the quantum computing field I think.

    Even though much carbon would be created to do bullshit tasks it only takes a few critical techs to have a real edge at reversing climate change. I understand fusion energy is quite the holy grail of energy generation but if AGI is real I can’t see why it wouldn’t help in such field.

    I’m just saying that we don’t know what new techs we would get with true AGI. So it’s hard to guess if on a longer time it wouldn’t actually be positive. Now it may also delay even more our response to climate change or worsen it… Just trying to see some hope in this.








  • Honestly, Apple was for years very anti-repair.

    So the manuals are nice but that doesn’t absolve them for the decades of products designed to be hard to repair on purpose.

    I won’t go full Rossmann but seriously Appol very bad when it comes to repairability and reliability. But they can release a few manuals and they are absolved for their bullshit?

    It’s a start but Apple still makes purposefully hard to repair products.





  • The problem was solved by Nvidia, then AMD made it cheap and accessible and not requiring a dedicated hardware module.

    For years and years Nvidia increased artificially by up to 150 euros many Gsync screens and for no legitimate reason. Initially there was NO compatibility with free sync at all.

    Nvidia wasn’t kindly solving a gamers problem at least to after the first year of release of that tech. They were forcibly selling expensive hardware modules nobody needed or wanted. And long after freesync showed you could do it just as well without this expensive requirements.

    This hardware module they insisted on selling wasn’t solving a technical problem but a money one.

    I don’t even think anyone was ever able to differentiate between the different qualities of “sync techs”.



  • Not OP but everytime I used the verbose output of ssh it didn’t help me one bit. Even adding outrageous verbosity I was still quite confused on what step failed and which didn’t.

    I’m probably just bad at understanding SSH but i don’t know it seems like ssh workflow includes many trial and error until it finds a way to connect.

    Imo the verbose output of SSH is often not very helpful if you don’t know very well ssh in the first place. Obviously it is still worth a shot and a good advice but don’t expect ssh to clearly state what is going on :)







  • There were a lot of people making the case that anybody who can open your computer because they have your password (abusive partners included) could then have a lot of access to your activity.

    Isn’t this true for any process with elevated privileges on your computer?

    The valorant anticheat could just as well get all your data without you ever knowing it.

    At the very least it’s better to have that feature in a secure setup rather than the Microsoft approach where it seems like an afterthought at best.

    You know I’d rather people be on Linux where you can check what is going on rather than blindly trusting Microsoft (or Apple) that they only do what they tell me they do on my system.

    I’m just saying that it’s not good to immediately assume what Apple will do will be as bad as Microsoft. They could take a bad idea and make it a slightly less bad idea.

    Also security and privacy has very little value for the average consumer so it’s naive to think the feature won’t be used and useful to many people.

    Most people give willingly their data to social networks so these kind of feature and their effect on privacy seems a bit pointless to me. If you don’t like that kind of feature maybe a closed sourced system is not for you after all.

    It’s like people are worried about leaking data on what they do on their Windows computer all the while they already sent a ton of telemetry to Microsoft for years. Nvidia will happily scan all the apps you start for troubleshooting purposes.

    Every little bit helps but I really think using windows and asking for your privacy to be respected is strange.

    Windows 11 was already a privacy nightmare before this feature was tested.
