Maybe it's just me but when I think of Samsung I don't think of a brand that has an eco-system, I just think of a generic company that usually makes decent quality hardware. I don't want to use their app store, or their attempt at a personal AI assistant, or their password manager. I don't expect innovation, I don't care about their flagship products, I'm just content with using their hardware with no interaction with the company whatsoever.

I managed to get Facebook to behave almost the way I want it to using the Social Fixer extension.
Chronological order, no ads, only posts from people and pages I'm actually following, no autoplay, no stories. But as a side effect it seems to reload the page multiple times and sometimes stalls for a while, so it ends up too much of a hassle to check it more than a couple times a day anyway.

I actually built a basic versioning system using Photoshop scripting for our animation studio's 2D department like a decade ago because we had a lot of 2D artists for a new project after a couple of years of me being the only 2D artist in the studio.
We already had pretty beefy and fast storage servers because the render farm needed to have access to all the 3D data anyway.
So I basically wrote a UI panel in Photoshop that allowed you to navigate to a specific asset in the show's hierarchy and commit a version with data like timestamp, username, comments, thumbnail, etc, and send an update to the producer.
On later projects we didn't really need to deal with much 2D production because it came from the clients, but the 3D pipeline was pretty complex, with automatic scene assembly, switching assets, rendering, syncing between physical locations, updating project management services, etc.

Personally, these days I use Prism Pipeline to keep my personal 3D projects organized. I never really used it for 2D but it does support Photoshop and some texturing software.

I don't think lack of originality is the main issue. The earlier phases of the MCU were pretty well received and most of them weren't particularly innovative in plot structure.
More recent iterations are making less money so following the established formula isn't helping with the general audience.

A decade ago I thought Disney was going to monopolize popular culture by buying up all the major franchises like collecting the infinity stones.
But now all they seem to produce is the narrative equivalent of pink slime that just gives everyone fatigue.

If they write a script for searching and trying to solve mathematical problems, they should call it Math Daemon.

will it run off after a rabbit and give you an hour of exercise? Get a real dog people! They clean up all the food you drop. Help you remember countless things, like, what food they can and cannot eat. How much you should feed them. They get you out for walks, see nature, keep your vitamin D dosage up. They help you socialize with other people that have dogs and give you something to talk about instead of awkwardly avoiding politics and just talking about the weather. For bonus points you can get a proper hunting dog and really have fun.

You can read other formats directly by running KOReader on a jailbroken Kindle.

If I remember correctly, Blizzard games like Starcraft originally did the actual multiplayer game state synchronization as direct communication between the players, Battle.Net just did the matchmaking and chat which is pretty low bandwidth.
Maybe they can rewrite their netcode to be more like that.

Such as freetaxusa. Search around. Turbotax is so lame and overpriced. Rant: we should just have some basic withholding percentage, tariffs, and then a similar basic flat percentage from all corporate revenue. No funny deductions, no net profit games, just revenue almost like a federal sales tax. IMHO if these were some reasonable level it'd be fine, we could then fund the rest on deficit spending (like we're so prone to do anyways.)

I put one camera up(not ring and locked down) because my 80 year old neighbor was snooping. I got video of her walking onto our porch staring through the windows and trying the door she then step off the porch without a step and walked away. She can barely walk if she took that big step down onto soft garden dirt and fell her head would have bounced off brick walkway.

  I have since put up two more cameras to cover the doors of my home as I also had footage of her walking around our backyard when we were not home.

Going into your neighbors property especially without fences is okay if you are retrieving something, walking to a specific point etc. if a fence goes up thatâ(TM)s different.

I already blocked updates and managed to stop the update nagging after the AI features were announced, I'm not undoing that.

I look forward to the end game where we have no taxes. No corporate taxes. After all they just pass it on to consumers. No income taxes. Just pay for it on import tariffs. Skip that too, why not? We already run a large deficit. All the spending sits on the ever expanding national debt. Now no one has a say except those who sit on massive piles of cash that faces risks of devaluation. Sounds awesome. Even foreign holders of cash/debt. They matter more than the citizens after all. Power to the powerful!! After all, they're already in charge.

In 1940 the world had a population about 2.3 billion

It is currently about 8.3 billion. In less than a century we tripled the planetary population.

Even if every country has a 3 decades of negative growth it will be 60 years before we drop below 7 billion people.

Or three times the population we had in 1940
The rapidly rising population is what drove the growth of everything. A slowly declining population will drag everyone down for decades

LLMâ(TM)s have legitimate useful business cases that can save employees hours.

Guess where LLM isnâ(TM)t being applied rapidly?

An LLM tha can scan a pdf and then either create database entries or an importable file that creates the database entries would save workers hours a week.

  Think scan a pdf and import it into the ERP software database. Think scan a packing slip or order acknowledgement pdf and import it.

It isnâ(TM)t sexy it isnâ(TM)t ground breaking it can save small busineesss. 10-120 hours a week. And now it is like $0.30 a page. When it needs to be $.003 a page.

Also it isnâ(TM)t really ai yet. AI is coming these might lead to limited pseudo intellect but ant colonies and ravens have better problem solving skills

Llm only works when someone else has given the answer or at least parts of it.
