I mean, you have to uncompress an image to display it anyway, so it would've made no difference.

I second this. I'll be very hesitant to buy in if it's locked to a cloud service. And people are waking up to this, with the Bambu controversy and all. Please don't make this mistake.

Fascinating. I love seeing practical applications of computer vision. I want to understand how image embeddings work.

I wonder how practical it would be to add specific multidimensional similarity metrics the user could adjust. For example, if they didn't care whether it was a photo or drawing, but still had to be the same type of object. Or if they didn't care about the art style. Or if it had to be an SUV driving thru a river, but they don't care what colour SUV.

In Australia the government legally mandated that I (and most of the country) am not permitted to have a wired internet connection above 25mbit/s. I am very bandwidth constrained.

Every Pebble model used an LCD display. It being epaper has to be one of the most pervasive myths in tech history. It was a low powered, reflective LCD, so it did improve on other LCDs in those areas somewhat, but it wasn't eink technology.

Pebble Time used an LCD display just like every other Pebble

Pebble had an LCD screen. It didn't use Eink at all. You can look this up, it was an LCD display manufactured by Sharp.

Which watch has an e-ink(/epaper) display? I can only think of Watchy. Pebble was LCD.

They kept the wrong stalk :/ I wanted the mode stalk kept, I don't mind the buttons for indicators.

In right hand drive countries, the indicator and mode change are now on the same side, so you have to do them with the same hand one after the other.

God damn that name is absolutely perfect. I'm upvoting it for that alone.

The threat of Bambu not being able to remotely brick your printer in 5 years when they want to sell you a new one

Thankyou, I was looking for something like this the other day. Ended up screen recording. I'll check this out when I'm not at work.

As Burnie Burns pointed out on Morning Somewhere this morning... wasn't the censorship when the US banned tiktok that led to this in the first place? China censors certain posts, the US banned a whole platform.

My dad is 74 and only drank alcohol one time in his life, no smoking or drugs and healthy diet. And it shows. He looks and feels fantastic for his age, you'd think he was about 55, and he's not on any regular medication, which doctors keep saying is exceptionally rare at that age.

I don't get why they do this.

Email validation can be done by sending an email to the specified address. Why bother differentiating between "invalid" and "valid but doesn't exist"?

Just check there's an @ symbol with something before it and something after it and if so, send it an email.

Any reason not to do it this way?

I'm so happy Bambu is getting what's coming to them after screwing us so badly <3

It looks like a chicken egg.

...Why did they not have a backup? Were they not aware their computer could break or get stolen?

Oh. I was going to buy a P1S in a few months. Looks like they don't want my money.

What's the best alternative?

I know. My mind is blown. I was convinced they wouldn't be able to resist the temptation to name it something stupid.

The Steam Deck has two trackpads, tho obviously games don't support them specifically, they get mapped to existing controls

They should fund it by selling early access mammoth burgers.

Why didn't they just... keep the rights...?

"He defines wokeness as “An aggressively performative focus on social justice.” By doing this, he concedes that the woke are correct (implying that differences between groups are a problem worth solving), but just thinks the way they’re going about it is the problem. "

I generally agree with Erik here, but to some extent both of these people are missing part of the point, or at least the severity of it. Wokeness is an anti-equality movement that aims to take away rights from already disadvantaged and marginalized people.

For example, in Australia, it's now illegal to have any single-sex gay spaces or meetings. Gay dating apps are banned because trans people demand access. Lesbian bars and parties are illegal because woke people call exclusive same-sex attraction "bigotry". A man sued a lesbian dating app to gain access and won. Gay people now have to have their meetings - both online and in person - in secret again, like they did 50 years ago, because woke people have successfully campaigned against gay people having rights.

Children are sterilized and mutilated because woke people are willing to risk someone's life to make sure they fit precisely into one of two 1950s gender norm boxes, and if anyone doesn't conform they'll come after them with a scalpel. Yarden Silveira died in agony at the age of 23 with his intestines spilling out of his fake vagina onto a hospital bed because woke people told him he wasn't allowed to not conform to a gender box, and had to get surgery to fit into one.

Male rapists are placed in women's prisons, because woke people fought for the "right" for male rapists to be locked up with women so they have access to more victims to rape. Women's sports doesn't exist anymore because woke people demanded that men can cheat by competing in the women's division.

Woke people tell young gay and autistic people they were born in the wrong body and have to mutilate it or kill themselves. My friend (a lesbian) was manipulated into going on testosterone by woke groomers and regrets it but can never undo the damage to her body.

Woke people are the bad guys, NOT the good guys.

Back before Creative Cloud was a subscription, to get Creative Suite in Australia, it was cheaper to book a flight to America, a hotel for three nights, buy Creative Suite there, and a flight home, than to just pay the markup Adobe gave us as punishment for being Australian.

Algorithmic curation is exactly what ruined the existing social networks. They were absolutely better without it.
