20%, but it's only when loading very large images that are scaled down for display. And when you zoom in on them, it has to decode them again.

The PDF viewer isn't really a gain, it just pre-loads it like the bad old days of Internet Explore pre-loading itself on every boot.

Punches very obviously not connecting suggests it's been trained on Hollywood fight scenes. The other giveaway is rapid hard cuts and shaky camera so you can't see how badly the punches are not connecting. Everything feels weightless and fake.

There is a lot of AI slop, but I wouldn't discount it being able to do something decent with the right person at the helm.

Most entertainment has always been slop, this is nothing new at all. A decade ago it was reality TV, before that it was gameshows and daytime soap operas.

The interesting story here is how this demonstrates the basic different in attitude between the US and China when it comes to new technology. In the US the established players are very concerned that new tech will affect their business model, so they try to hold it back as much as possible. In China it gets embraced and there is a rush to adopt it.

Seeing some very negative prices in the mid west (I think that's the right term) states too. Not even free electricity, people are being paid to use it.

Can you get a tariff that pays you to use energy in the US? Here in Europe we have some, and if you play the game right with a home battery your energy can be pretty much free.

Solar panels are actually very good for the environment. They can help over-farmed land recover by providing shade. Livestock and some crops can live under them very happily.

They are good for your house too, they reflect some of the heat away in the summer.

I'm glad that they made the pre-orders fair. I'm not after one, but too often they open in the middle of the night (for Europeans) and by the time we are awake are sold out or all the "early bird" deals are gone. I hate that, I'm not paying more that someone else just because they found out about it first, or I had to be asleep so I could work the next day.

This way where there is a large window and then the queue order is random is much better.

This is just a camera that makes sure the driver is looking forwards out the windscreen, and doesn't have their eyes closed or looking down at their phone for extended periods. The data isn't sent anywhere or recorded, there is no spying.

There is plenty of shit to be angry about, without making up more.

Is this actually true? I watched both Gamer's Nexus videos and while they mention that LG TVs can for nearby wifi networks, probably so they can geo-locate you, they don't actually connect to them or use them. Doing so would be very, very illegal in many countries.

I hate to defend LG, but there is enough to hang on them here without what appear to be unfounded claims.

Try disabling IPv6, it reduces that a lot.

Sounds like they don't work, it built a solver. Which is good news because once AI can easily defeat them they will go away and hopefully be replaced by something less annoying.

On a related note, website security is another nail in the coffin of IPv6, because it seems to hate IPv6 addresses. I often get blocked with it, switch to IPv4 only, and get right in.

China's emissions are down: https://www.carbonbrief.org/an...

The irony of all the climate change deniers claiming we would have to destroy our economies to address it, and now Trump is actually trying it. Meanwhile the commies are turning it into an economic boom with massive increases in both manufacturing and cheap energy to power the manufacturing.

Isn't that a good thing?

You are forgetting that the alternative to a passkey is a password.

Passwords can be stored in a password manager, where they have the same protections as a passkey. Or they can be stored in your brain, which will result in you either re-using them or forgetting them.

Therefore passkeys are the better choice, because they avoid things like stupid per-site limits on password complexity, have more bits of entropy than most websites allow in a password, and are overall a better experience for the user, while being at a minimum equally secure as passwords.

And if you don't want too allow them to be exported, get a hardware security key like a Yubikey and store them on there. Or just don't authorize export from your phone (it needs you enter your unlock password/biometric, apps can't just take the data).

Of course, you can still use 2FA with a passkey. You can even use a password as one of your authentication methods.

That's what I mean, yeah, a mirrorless. But I haven't found any that really seem to meet my needs of being compact, decently wide, good in low light, and good on auto. Maybe one of the Sony alpha series, but looking at phone like the Honor Magic 8 Pro and the coming 9 Pro, I'm not convinced that it is worth it.
