Up makes less sense to me. If I'm going to the next item, why would I be going up? Next should be either down or right, consistent with how we read in English (to the right, then down) and consistent with playlists in media player apps (and YouTube, etc)
I guess using up for next is so it's consistent with volume, where up actually makes sense?
Media players have always used left for previous track and right for next track, so it's frustrating when UI designs try to change that.
Huh, I didn't know that.
I'd like to see all cars use UWB though, even low-end ICE ones. Some people want a new car but can only afford low-end models, and they should be able to get the same security and key functionality as on higher-end models.
I nearly got an Ioniq 5 as our second car, but ended up getting a BMW i4 instead. I was very impressed with the Ioniq 5 - it's a fantastic car. We already had an iX though, andI figured it'd be best to stick to something with the same UI. I'm mostly a frontend developer and UI quirks really get to me, so I'd rather just deal with one set of quirks.
I wish that all car manufacturers would start using UWB technology with their keys. It lets the car detect the physical location of the key, accurate to within 10 centimeters (4 inches).
This allows for very accurate automatic lock and unlock, and is essentially completely immune to relay and replay attacks. Even if the car receives an unlock signal, it won't actually unlock unless the key is also physically close to the car.
It also lets you use your phone as a key with the same automatic lock and unlock features, as long as it supports UWB, like the Pixel Pro, Galaxy Plus and Ultra series, and iPhones excluding the SE.
This kinda makes sense because you're going down in the playlist... But other cars use left and right 🤷
I would have thought they'd get access to xAI's models for very cheap.
Grok really isn't that good, though. So few people use it that xAI are renting out most of their AI servers to both Anthropic and Google.
I do this and then realise I'm not actually an expert.
And I would be interested on how they are referbing the equipment and selling for a profit
My understanding is that an e-waste recycling company is contracted to take all the old equipment. The original company can say they've recycled it, record it as such, and doesn't care what's done with the equipment after that - whether that be reselling it, recycling it, whatever. The e-waste company is the one that handles finding the useful stuff and refurbishing it.
They do an upgrade, ever server/switch/router etc ends up in the dumpster
How many customers do this?
At least here in the Bay Area, hard drives and SSDs get destroyed, but a lot of the other equipment goes to e-waste recyclers who end up refurbishing it and selling it on marketplaces like eBay.
A lot of homelabbers get their equipment from eBay, and the source of that equipment is almost always second-hand data center equipment.
In Italy, the "Piracy Shield" system misfired so badly that an erroneous order took Google Drive offline for over 12 hours in October 2024.
A lot of ISPs have a three strike rule for piracy: if you get caught pirating content three times, they'll disconnect you.
These "piracy blocking" services should be subject to a similar policy. If they cause outages for major service providers (Google, Akamai, Cloudflare, AWS, whatever) three times, they're not allowed to activate the block any more until they fix the systemic issues causing the outages.
This is a tricky statement, though. You could argue that sorting popular posts to the top is an attempt to maximize engagement, since you're probably more likely to click on and/or comment on top posts. Lemmy just has less data to use to make the decisions as to what you'd like, but it's still trying to do it.
Huh, interesting. I wonder why it's so infrequently used then. Maybe people are afraid of using an AI that referred to itself as "mechahitler".
