intel now joins the club with their take on GPU driver telemetry. they call it "Computing Improvement Program" and it can thankfully be disabled during a manual install, or in system settings after the installation is complete

Imagine a wikipedia like library of code functions. I think something well documented that everyone can edit could be very useful!

...or a security nightmare. One or the other.

So can we zap us into furries? Lol

Honestly, fuck Chromebooks. You can install it yourself on some refurbished laptop and prevent e-waste. Or better yet install real Linux and embrace software freedom!

The corporate and advertising jargon reads like something utterly obscene and wrong.

Someone posted this over on Reddit right when it happened and I apparently saved it. I'm cleaning out my bookmarks and came across it. I hought you'd like to see why it's good news that we found Lemmy.

Edit: I took a screenshot in case it gets deleted.

By far one of the best Reddit apps available for Android has been adapted to now work with Lemmy! It's still in Beta, but it's absolutely worth checking out if you haven't yet. It's Free and Open-Source too! Development also seems to be coming along quickly as well, already talk of getting it listed to F-Droid.

Three Dutch security analysts discovered the vulnerabilities—five in total—in a European radio standard called TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio), which is used in radios made by Motorola, Damm, Hytera, and others.

This will help our hard drives store more pawbs.

This seems like it may be the root cause of the recent server issues, I had to guess. Probably a lot of federation issues if the .ml domains went down all at once. Probably why it's not that smart to use a domain owned by a (nominally) hostile foreign government, just saying...

Not so much a second life, but rather send ASUS will be taking over the prime directive that Intel doesn’t feel like doing anymore. It makes sense to me to hand this project off to a stronger general purpose PC hardware company.

that's it that's the post.

JK, but seriously though. AV1 is incredible and I NEED support for hardware decoding to accelerate and fast. I just shoved an 18GB Blu-ray movie into 5 gigs with room for improvement. I can get stream worthy 1080p60 video at 6000kbps when I need at least double that if I use x264. Even at a ok encode speed, the 1080 6000kbps video on YouTube looks pretty good all things considered - sure my super high bitrate x264 video looks clearer, but it's also at least double the file size on my disk.

I could probably real-time CPU encode my streams with AV1. I could definitely do it even better with hardware encoding.

AV1 is black magic. It feels wrong.
