I think for this to work you need an agreement between wealthy countries to all apply this kind of tax. This would be an attempt to stop all the accounts from just living offshore.

Not sure if the EU can apply this as a bloc style rule. I doubt the US powers that be would want to, and then other large powers I’d argue have even more questionable ruling classes anyway, but I’m open to being wrong on that last statement.

I could be wrong on my first statement too. I haven’t thought it out that much.

It’s annoyingly fairly priced. I’m fairly sure they’re doing this at a loss to put competitors in the music streaming services out of business so they can hack up the price.

Standard Google/TV streaming service practice.

I’m happy to take the time to alter your perspective, if you are open to new information.

You took some time, but spent it explaining at a fairly technical level, rather than a lamens term approach. I doubt you managed to change many people’s perspective, but you maybe reinforced some.

Not sure when people started to use ‘W’. It appears multiple times in this thread

Edit: then again I’m of a generation where ‘y’ means why and not yes. Maybe I’m just not hip anymore sadfaceemoticon.jpg

I’d argue that it’s naive to think we can ever think non-individually as a species. Maybe I’ve just become cynical as I’ve aged and experienced though, not to say you haven’t also experienced - more that, if you have, your experiences have clearly been very different to my own.

Just fackin’ sort it ooouuttt!

Edit, but seriously sorting in most scenarios is just by date created or name, which most file explorers can do.

That Isn’t generally an AI task.

If OP wants the AI to read the file and sort by colour for example, then this is maybe an AI task but sounds more like a software task.

Lol yeah.

Good luck spending time and money investing in something that you know will have zero legal protection as ‘yours’ after you go to market.

I personally feel that a copyright does give confidence to product developers to actually develop products. If they felt they weren’t going to get anything for their work they just wouldn’t bother and our tech advancement would stall significantly.

Just for people that haven’t searched it yet:

During setup of your new Copilot+ PC, and for each new user, you’re informed about Recall and given the option to manage your Recall and snapshots preferences. If selected, Recall settings will open where you can stop saving snapshots, add filters, or further customize your experience before continuing to use Windows 11. If you continue with the default selections, saving snapshots will be turned on.

It sounds like YOU need to TURN IT OFF

Jesus Christ. All these requirements for something most people didn’t ask for:

System requirements for Recall

Your PC needs the following minimum system requirements for Recall:

A Copilot+ PC

16 GB RAM

8 logical processors

256 GB storage capacity

    To enable Recall, you’ll need at least 50 GB of storage space free

    Saving screenshots automatically pauses once the device has less than 25 GB of storage space

Dude I think you need to get some meds for all that rage.

Maybe they have some on Amazon, I heard they have fantastic next day shipping as it’s such an urgently needed item!

If we’re having a fight over who can be the most padentic, I’d argue that’s a format issue, rather than order ;)

But then again, I’m a few pints deep now and may just be talking out me arse.

Had the same thought. The American date format must be the least intuitive, but as a nerd that likes to order files and folders YYYY/MM/DD is just a win.

Most things*

Definitely not everything.

I had been considering a Roku stick instead of an Amazon fire stick to try and get out of the Amazon bubble.

I now see that Roku basically want to create their own bubble too so probably better to only let one shitty company (Amazon) get my viewing habits.

Maybe he’s outside looking in, and windows users are locked in the cage :|

I think we have to try harder to find good content these days. AI, whilst continuing this, did not start it. The masses becoming ‘online’ started this. More nonsense got posted because everybody thought that every one else should hear their voice, and what they had for breakfast, and how their little toe bends slightly differently to their fourth toe.

It’s just become over populated.

The fediverse feels quite nice to me because it isn’t so populated yet. People don’t seem to be screaming over eachother so much.

Said all those conservatives we all keep complaining about.

I’m a little confused.

If I said a 3rd of gay men are racists, I would expect most people to consider this homophobic.

I would expect the same to apply to heteros. We’re all people here.

Maybe I’ve misunderstood something, and maybe the above isn’t true?

Good conversation. Thanks for the useful input.

I’d wager most people who don’t think about cyber security even look at the sender email address these days.
