Copyright holders.

Maybe it affects BSD and MacOS.

It also can affect some Linux systems based on configuration. Android doesn't implement the exploited standard at all and is always immune.

A shady vpn provider wouldn't need to use this technique at all dumbass.

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....

Indeed it's so weird the practically only alternative to Windows comes up when discussing Windows issues.

Perhaps BSD or ReactOS should be mentioned more. Or people told to buy a whole new Mac and throw their computer away.

Were socialists a persecuted ethnic minority?

Already they are planning to hinder open hardware (RISK-V) as it could help China and will certainly attack foss software as well.

freeman ,

Why would they sell? That would create a competitor that could easily expand into other markets and take away that user base as well.

Well if both sides get working stealth dogfights are going to become more common.

But the US seems to estimate it's adversaries do not have such capability at the moment since it's ordering new F-15s with the major change being air to air missile capacity.

Missiles also did not have 100 miles range 20 years ago. That's without considering actually detecting and tracking the target.

freeman ,

Retrofitting F-16s to become drones (whether rc or ai-controlled) as well as designing a variant ditching human support for weight and monetary gains is the rational choice as long as non stealth aircraft are viable. In that case you'd stick to F-35s.

It makes no sense to waste billions worth of perfectly capable and proven airframes, engines and avionics. Any future drone that will have at least the same level of capabilities as an f-16 will cost practically cost the same. At the cost of high performance aircraft life support does not add that much cost to a plane, pilot costs (and availability) are a much bigger issue.

freeman ,

No not really, my point is that people have a distorted and exaggerated view of BVR. 100 miles was beyond even the max range of common missiles and even with modern missiles like meteor it's completely unrealistic to fire at that kind of range. Provided that you have detected and are able to track the target at that range.

I don't know if modern planes will have to resort to guns but WVR dogfights with IR missiles are more likely than destroying F-35s at BVR ranges.

Memory bandwidth is useless if you run out of memory and need to swap.

GPU not having it's own pool of memory is really going to help to.

Pigs fly in apple land.

freeman ,

It doesn't matter how 'insanely efficient' they are. If your tasks need to use more than 8Gb of memory you are going to run out and start swapping to disk.

8gb worth of data is not heavy lifting for professional use.

freeman ,

Yes if you don't run out of ram you won't face ram performance issues..

I wouldn't be ok waiting 2 seconds to switch between apps on something the price of Mac laptop, even the cheapest m1.

freeman ,

Sufficed is not an objective term but still is not a favorable term especially for machines that cost that much.

Your original point was that apple's cpu are somehow more 'efficient' with ram. That's misinformation to put it kindly.

freeman ,

If you ignore the fact that the generated images are not accurate, maybe.

They are very similar so they are infringing but nobody would use this method for compression over an image codec

freeman ,

Should Photoshop check your image for copyright infringement? Should Adobe be liable for copyright infringing or offensive images users of it's program create?

freeman ,

If it’s contributing creatively to your work, yeah, totally.

AI is not contributing creatively though, programs do not create.

If you ask Photoshop fill to add an italian plumber and you’ve been living under a rock for you life so you don’t realize it’s Mario, when you get sued by Nintendo for copyright infringement it’d be much better policy if it was Adobe on the hook for adding copyrighted material and not the end user.

I am speaking of Photoshop used as a non-AI tool as it has been used to commit copyright infringement for decades before Photoshop fill was a thing. Should it check if your image infringes on copyright?

A better analogy is: if you hired a graphic designer and they gave you copyrighted material, who is liable?

The graphic designer. If you went ahead and redistributed it you would also be liable. Whatever program he used or it's developer wouldn't be liable.

freeman ,

They actually are not whether you use a prompt to generate the picture or a digitally paint it with a tablet.

The user would be the one committing copyright infringement.

freeman ,

And they like to mess with American megacorps too.

Messing with megacrops is a feature, especially foreign ones.
