@arstechnica did NVIDIA decide to burn the planet and turn AI on all GPUs by default?

AndyReRe

@arstechnica lol, what serious gamer bends over in the first place and chooses defaults?? especially from nvidia.

@arstechnica I'm going to share this link with my boss/spouse/teammates, so they know my performance issues are because of AI.

@arstechnica
If they want to make an AI board make an AI board computer gaming is deeply screwed and doing it only on windows is a weird idea

@arstechnica journalism contributing nothing whines about magic GPU not coming fast enough.

@arstechnica "So far, Arc cards have not been successful enough to guarantee their long-term existence"

Freevolt

@arstechnica it feels like almost every current crap around the world is enabled by one country in North America, either directly or indirectly.

@arstechnica Seems like Brazil should find Musk via Starlink. Then it would really be funny.

@arstechnica This is akin to how FOSS projects if done well have a trust-less system. Analogously, this is Proton ensuring that nothing can and will happen to it in the future as well as they grow to avoid bad actors, takeovers, and other bad things. We don't necessarily have to to trust Proton and it's management or change in leadership because this new system won't allow anything bad to happen to it in any way.

A disingenious article, on two counts:

1. "waste isn't a problem yet": yes it is. Mining tailings for example are a real problem. So is air pollution from making them (all PV factories are powered by coal plants). Of course, since this happens in China, it doesn't exist, right?
2. It's a research level setup, not a commercial recycling plant. Wake me when we get to that stage please.

Paging Evan Dahm and his copyright lawyers?
#WithAltText

From Evan Dahm's wonderful art book Rice Boy, the enigmatic character T-O-E, a robot of sorts, though very philosophical. They are wearing a well worn purple greatcoat with orange lining. Their hands are like a metallic humanoid skeleton, and their head consists of a large round viewscreen, often showing inscrutable scenes only distantly echoing their thoughts or meaning.

@arstechnica
Anyway, who wants a personal bot that can only do what I can do already?

Gimme one with greater speed, greater strength, greater precision, and yeah, a weirdly much greater range of movement.

@arstechnica Oh excellent!
But does it have the potty mouth of the old Atlas? 😂😂😂

@arstechnica c'mon, though. "Readers should remember that whatever penalties result will only be felt when affected software is performing specific cryptographic operations. For browsers and many other types of apps, the performance cost may not be noticeable."

The Icarian

@arstechnica That means these are not-so-secret, not-so-encrypted keys.

@arstechnica Do they have class action lawsuits in the UK? Because, I see a HUGE lawsuit against Fujitsu and the Post Office here.

Greengordon

@arstechnica

These lawyers should be in jail and bankrupt.

"the Post Office's lawyers had rewritten Fujitsu witness statements."

@arstechnica when AI does this, nobody will know there's a bug

@arstechnica Firefox about to become the number 1 browser.

No coincidence this is announced after their last month of unsuccessfully attempting to outwit uBlock on Youtube. Now they are back to block uBlock without admitting that's the whole purpose.

Monsieur Valentine 🇺🇦

@arstechnica it's inevitable, adblocker affects their bottom line.

@arstechnica I don’t get it. How exactly will they stop android users from accessing youtube without their DRM when dekstop browsers can? Let me guess, by suing people for ‘breaching effective copyright’ lol?

awooo :autism:​🏴‍☠️🐾⎇

@arstechnica I think the description of how the scanning occurs is a bit too vague, and puts too much emphasis on rooting. Play integrity is an implementation of trusted computing, an old demon from the early 2000s.

The problem goes down to the silicon and firmware level, those are used to attest to the boot state of the device and whether you're running the official OS, which means apps (or rather app servers) can require you to cryptographically prove you're running unmodified android to be allowed to connect.

Unless we get rid of TC or neuter it by adding user override as was proposed back in the day and rejected, there won't be any software freedom. It's only a matter of time until a proposal like WEI succeeds on the web, as it already has on mobile devices more generally because of the overwhelming power of Apple and Google. The only path I see forward is legislative, but the tech is too hidden for most to even notice and take action before it's too late.

@arstechnica Just in time for the mouth-breathing voting public to elect Trump or DeSantis in 2024.

Prove me wrong, America. F***ing prove me wrong.

@arstechnica About fucking time. Enshittification needs to stop, and *all* of the Big Five are guilty of it.

@arstechnica I had so many type 1 fonts in the 90s. When OS X came around, there wasn’t even a way to knowingly manage them. It stole my mojo.

It wasn’t just the move from press to web that threw a spanner in the works of many graphic design careers; it was eradication of habit.

@arstechnica Cool, I had exactly this combo in the picture with the Apple Laser Printer and the Plus. It weighted a ton and it took ages to print a „complex“ PS file. But when it worked it was awesome… I used PageMaker

Thorsted

“Adobe also says that PDF and EPS files with Type 1 fonts will continue to render properly, as long as those fonts are "placed for display or printing as graphic elements." That text will not be editable, however.”

@arstechnica Ars: "It's not the year of Linux on desktop; it's the year of Linux on a handheld."
Also Ars: "Windows was still reported by 96.21 percent of users' systems"

Why are you like this?
