The breadth of capability this guy has is insane to me. Almost every time I watch one of his videos I find that he's managed to basically gain a new field of expertise. It's really impressive.

My only concern is battery usage. Google has the advantage of OS integration, which skims location data for timeline history even when another app accesses location, which uses essentially no battery (since you would've been using location for that other app anyway).

But it's awesome that a tool like this exists anyways, great work.

As an Australian, do I have anything I can do to help make sure that these regulations are implemented?

Looks cool, wishing them the best of luck. Would be awesome to have a properly functional open source CAD software to compete with the likes of Fusion.

Brand name for fexofenadine hayfever medication. If you don't live in the US you probably know it under a different brand name.

I'm not supporting higher education becoming reliant on for-profit companies like this, but AI tutors and the like, if properly implemented, would be kinda awesome. For example, it's usually not feasible to have real life staff on hand to answer student questions at all hours of the day. Especially at the more early years of university, where content is simpler, AI is more than capable of meeting needs like this.

I don't fully agree with most of the people on this thread. I also hate AI slop being forced into what feels like all aspects of our life right now, but LLMs do have some genuine uses.

Yes, but I was saying the Blackhat marketplaces wouldn't really have much recourse if the person selling the exploit knew how to cover their tracks. i.e. they wouldn't have anyone to sue or go after.

I always wonder what's stopping security researchers from selling these exploits to Blackhat marketplaces, getting the money, waiting a bit, then telling the original company, so they end up patching it.

Probably break some contractual agreements, but if you're doing this as a career surely you'd know how to hide your identity properly.

This method uses magnetic resonant coupling (vs inductive which is how wireless charging works on your phone). The difference is the transmitter and receiver are both tuned LC circuits that operate at their resonant frequency, which is why this works over the impressive range shown in the video. It would have efficiencies around 80% mark based on what I could find. But yeah for RFI, this would definitely be worse than something like normal Qi charging, which operates in the 100s of KHz, while this operates in the MHz. But I think the manufacturers page says this is FCC certified? So might be not too bad.

Yet another person commenting without having watched the video.

Wireless peripherals and any wireless data transfer protocols are completely irrelevant to the content of this video, which is centred around wireless power transfer.

Also wireless peripherals are pretty great, not sure what you're on about.

Very surprised that this is the only comment in this thread mentioning Nutanix.
