...that solar might actually be legal in Texas. I coulda sworn it would be punishable by death. Next thing you know, they'll be allowing wind power. Crazy!

This is about reducing ewaste, so how about phasing it in by requiring increasingly long warranty periods for non-replaceable batteries?

So who is to blame when someone uses a model that has had the safety rails deliberately stripped off, like a Heretic or Abliterix fine tune? These are generally couched in "for research purposes only" terms, but I use an Abliterix fine tune of Gemma 4 26B-A4B as my "daily driver". It absolutely never refuses anything, although it spends a lot of time patting itself on the back for understanding what I say well enough to paraphrase it (reasonably) accurately.

I would think that DeSantis would personally be handing Altman the key to the state or something.

Having $40 million in gold would be on-brand for a Russian oligarch. I have no idea why he would need to do this inside the U.S. though.

From TFS, FCS: "This technology is fundamentally different from the "rivulet (shark skin) process," which is known as a typical aerodynamic drag reduction technology."

When you're on the ride of a sigmoid curve, you never know where you are. How many times has Moore's Law died now?

Noon should be when the sun is highest in the sky.

...to tell us why this is a bad thing. :-/

I know everybody turns off any new features immediately upon release, but with the new(ish) agent the way some of the various bits and pieces have come together has been pretty great.

Credits are global now, so youre watching something "why does he look familiar?", you click down to the actor now it shows you their whole filmography, you can watchlist stuff right there, and even a little category 'Youve seen them in' with anything with them in any of your libraries youve watched by recent. Not just other shows if youre watching a show or only other movies if youre watching movies. And since you can just search and browse through anything/anyone now, its actually replaced IMDB for me just because its sooo much cleaner. https://watch.plex.tv/person/n... vs https://www.imdb.com/name/nm00...

And speaking of the watchlist, thats universal now, you can search and add stuff you dont have, from any service, even stuff thats not on any service, and the watchlist can interface directly with the *arrs, so youre looking up that guy from that thing, watchlist another of his movies, radarr goes and does its thing. You can add upcoming stuff too and they even have trailers now, so i dont have to go to Youtube anymore cuz it doesnt make me wade through 20 fake AI trailers before finding the one on the actual studios channel and then it doesnt autoplay some assholes reaction or breakdown of the trailer i just watched right after.

AND if your users have their watchlists public, you can monitor theirs too, so friends and family can just watchlist stuff you dont have without leaving the plex app, so you dont need to try to convince them to use a third party app like Omni to request stuff.

All the other social features still suck tho, their own lack of features makes you abuse the rating system as a filter for other things instead of as a rating system, but replacing IMDB and youtube for at least my purposes has been pretty nice. Some of my users dont have their watchlists public either so i still have a facebook group chat for requests cuz who wants to use some third party app for requests. .

$750 is ridiculous tho, i paid $100 during a 50% off sale a couple of black fridays ago, but with all my collections and playlists and everything and especially all my users switching to Jellyfin wouldnt be as simple as everyone pretends, but if in the future they roll out Plex2 to loophole my lifetime or try to charge my users individually ill figure it out.

Why is this a problem? It's just another job opportunity for Marco Rubio. Even AI is afraid of being replaced by Rubio.

The point is that they live there, where it hardly freezes. It's not like they are driving them in the cold.

Um, you do know where Norway is, right? You know they've held the Winter Olympics there twice, right?

How do you know that's not just one significant digit, which would mean >95%? Or maybe it only has one-bit resolution and it's anything over 50%.

There were not 600,000 preorders. You can tell by the fact that they announced 600,000 preorders. If there actually had been they'd have announced "more than a million preorders." That's how it works.

I love that I can self-host Bitwarden, and I do it with Vaultwarden, which is open source, so I have no fear of it going away. But if the company got really obnoxious and blocked self-hosted servers from the browser plugins, then I would be in big trouble. I don't think the changes listed suggest that they're going to do that anytime soon, but it's something I want to keep an eye out for.
