And in that time, the already viable products being made by Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, etc. will already be here serving the purpose because they already exist...
Come on, has the last 12 months not taught you anything? Clearly Trump would add massive tariffs to the import of those vehicles to allow the domestic manufacturers a chance to catch up.
So you'd rather American jobs get offshored to Chinese AI....
Sounds like a great way to create a new competitor to your own business. I'd like to think American business leadership has seen enough examples to know this is a bad idea from an information security perspective.
"We MUST have one Federal Standard instead of a patchwork of 50 State Regulatory Regimes," Trump wrote on Truth Social last month. "If we don't, then China will easily catch us in the AI race...
For most Americans, AI getting better just means a higher chance of being put out of work. Why would we want that? Let the Chinese put themselves at a risk of revolution faster. Wont bother me.
But boxed software works on its own as long as it's run on a compatible hardware and software (OS) platform. Netflix is an app and a service for the app.
You can pass a law they have to keep making the old app available, but that doesn't mean they have to keep delivering content to the old app
Amusingly I stayed in a hotel a couple years ago that offered no in room entertainment system for streaming. You scanned a QR code on screen to link your mobile phone to the Google Chrome-eaque device on the back of the TV in your room, so you could cast any apps you wanted to use.
I think you accidentally a word there.
Even not replacing your phone will not help if the AI is a cloud service. Google Assistant was replaced with Gemini just recently, so people with phones 4, 6, maybe even 8 years old have AI services on them as well. You can avoid having the AI baked into the OS if your phone does not get further OS updates, but apps and services can be updated by the vendor to add AI features. Having the AI running locally is preferable, as then the service can work without sharing all your personal data with the master company.
WankerWeasel's complaint is about having to change setups to a new server. People who were using Emby when the source was closed still had to transition their stuff to a new product (Jellyfin) even though it was a fork. Being open source and based on the previous product didn't matter.
I have never used Emby and I didn't use the early versions of Jellyfin, so I can't say how much was needed to transition. But if you have to get new playback apps and remake authentication, fix relatives' setups, you're essentially doing the same job you would moving from one proprietary solution to another.
Possibly the PR dept is just an AI. That would be totally on brand to think a human is unnecessary when you can just plug a LLM into some social networking services to learn the "current of public opinion".
What about tracking what episode you're on? And having profiles so each member of the family can track what episode they're on?
Why do you think Jellyfin doesn't have these things? There's even third-party projects on Github that you can run that will sync the watch status between Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin so you can watch on whichever platform is more convenient at the time.
So was Emby.
No one pays attention to what phone you have....at least not in most of the US.
I hear a lot of iPhone users online who want a small window in the back of their case (so the Apple logo is visible to others when they are using it). If that's not being image conscious, I don't know what is.
Most iPhone owners didn't buy them outright. They got them "free" with their plan.
That's still buying them. They just are on a "payment plan". Some of those plans are really "We add the balance of the phone to your account (so you just bought it on credit), and we credit your bill for it split up into 24 monthly installments".
Yeah... I'm synchronizing my off-site backup disks as I type this, and the file copies have been over a terabyte more than once now. Looks like the PC will be running still when I go to bed tonight.
For a mobile device, I'm not sure I would let that much data stack up unique to the device. Pictures/video I would try to do backups on a PC before it got to that. Never know when a phone might get lost/damaged after all. Contacts are already synced to remote service. Call logs/text messages are archived and sent away once a week, too.
I was going to mention that I have an SD card slot so I would just store that data on a removable card, but it's standard practice to have all storage encrypted on device nowadays so I can't just move it over.
The order positions AI as both a scientific accelerator and a national security requirement, with heavy emphasis on data access, secure cloud environments, classification controls, and export restrictions.
This from the administration that fires competent scientists and other government employees despite their importance to functioning government departments, and lets rando journalists into secret online meetings.
If you push the "extra ice" button on the soft drink vending machine, you won't get any ice. If you push the "no ice" button, you'll get ice, but no cup.
