Some YouTube Premium subscribers complain of seeing ads
  • I would cancel that subscription SOOO FAST.

    I'd argue that YTMusic is a superior product to YT, but both put together aren't worth anywhere near the cost. You can get a premium TV/Movie service for that price with family access.

  • Amazon is shutting down Freevee
  • I think Wil Wheaton had something that was supposed to air on Freevee, the link his PR person gave him just threw you back into the Amazon video page, I've never actually seen any information about the service or a working video stream surface.

    It seems like a lot of places are ready to throw millions of dollars into system and just never freaking marking them.

  • AI Expert Warns Crash Is Imminent As AI Improvements Hit Brick Wall
  • Oh god yes, ran into this asking for a shell.nix file with a handful of tricky dependencies. It kept trying to do this insanely complicated temporary pull and build from git instead of just a 6 line file asking for the right packages.

  • This has already started to happen. The new llama3.2 model is only 3.7GB and it WAAAAY faster than anything else. It can thow a wall of text at you in just a couple of seconds. You're still not running it on $20 hardware, but you no longer need a 3090 to have something useful.

  • AI PCs flow into distribution pipeline, but who wants them?
  • You can get a lot done currently with ARC. The mobile ARC versions share system memory, So if you get a mini PC with ARC and upgrade it to 96GB, you can share system ram with the GPU and load decently large models. They're a little slow it not being vram and all, but still useful (and cheap)

    I have it running on a zenbook duo with 32GB so I can't load the 70B models, but I works shockingly well.

  • Microsoft Teams is dog shit
  • Sounds like you're getting better numbers than we do :) Wonder if there's some incompatibility in our fleet hardware that you don't have. We're mostly Dell XPS. The biggest problem we regularly have is the audio output and mic inputs going rogue. They'll be using the machine with sound all day, no problem, go into a meeting and there's no sound. They'll have the same problem with microphones. Somehow the browser session behind the scenes doesn't pick up the current default device settings and the volume for the Slack session ends up being muted.

  • I certainly don't wan to run windows on it :)

    I've been running llama keep my telemetry out of the hands of Microsoft/Google/"open"AI. I'm kind of shocked how much I can do locally with a half assed video card, and offline model and a hacked up copy of searxng.

  • I feel this way about cinnamon.
  • I honestly had no idea what was in chorizo. I had been making chili with it at home and it came time to make it for work, I stopped by the market near work and they didn't have any. I was all "FINE!, I'll make my own" and looked it up, there are TONS of variations. The one I went for was basically vinegar, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, and most of the spices I already use in chili.

    One of my favorite taco shops made one that was very hot and just a touch sweet the cinnamon was forward which I didn't care for at first, but it ended up being amazing, it was also processed fine like round beef. I've been trying to replicate that for a while.

  • Bluesky Might End Up Defeating Twitter Once and for All
  • 300 Billion dollar portfolio, 34 Billion dollar loss (~22 Billion after he writes it off in "taxes") and he has his own right-wing media company chocked full of nutters.

    I don't think he cares much about the individual Billions much these days. Half his Tesla stock is securing his debt.

  • Anon falls through the cracks
  • trying to sue you in court.

    Hmm, You'd probably get by fine representing yourself. Given it's a bad idea....

    I'd probably pick up a remote side job to work during the first job and store about 10k away to handle eventual legal fees. You wouldn't need much of a lawyer to defend yourself.

  • Microsoft Teams is dog shit
  • We user / have used Slack, Zoom, Meet/Gchat and a VERY brief trial of teams.

    We have O365 AND Google Workspaces so we get teams and meet for free.

    Zoom is the best to host a large meeting with a split presence. It's the best at dealing with variably poor connections. It shines on being able to share any specific app and sound control.

    Meet is the best for small, low-friction meetings. However, it is hampered by its inability to share anything but browser tabs with sound, poor camera control, and poor user display.

    Slack is a fantastic, too-flexible chat system with organizational issues. When it works, it works pretty well. However, it has intermittent video and mic problems on many systems. It is not good on poor connections and occasionally not good on fast connections.

    Teams is bloated, many systems run it poorly, and there is an unacceptable amount of server-imposed downtime/issues.
