Comment Is it finally time? (Score 2) 85

Are they finally going to attempt quality control?

Samsung refrigerators are going on a decade of having the same failures due to a design defect. There's an entire Facebook group dedicated to helping people get full refunds on their failed refrigerators.

My Google Pixel 6 Pro constantly loses cellular and requires a reboot or Airplane Mode because they went with Samsung's 5G chip over Qualcomm's.

Their TVs look nice but have their own string of failures - not just with the backlights failing prematurely.

The one product that seems to be consistently very good is their solid state drives. And they overproduced those so much that they didn't make any money off of those.

Comment Mercury poisoning (Score 1) 25

There are plenty of known issues with synthetic or AI-created data, foremost of which is that it can exacerbate existing issues with AI, because it's liable to spit out a more concentrated version of any garbage it is ingesting.

This just reminds me so much of bottom-feeders getting eaten by bigger and bigger fish.

Chrome is based on WebKit (Safari), which is based on KHTML (KDE Konqueror). Surprisingly, KHTML is still an independent rendering engine with relatively little code backported from WebKit.

Chrome might use more resources than Safari, but it also has process isolation per-tab. The side effect is that this Slashdot tab uses 200MB of its own RAM. I would rather spend more on RAM than risk the whole browser crashing when a tab dies.
