To be fair, Wales was still a part of the Kingdom of England when the Union Jack was designed. All that means is a redesign is well overdue.

Ah, well, there you have it! One certainly cannot argue with such an overwhelming barrage of evidence and nuanced analysis.

JFC. I disapprove of all AI companies, but I struggle to gauge how awful Anthropic truly is.

Fucking hell we have two of these at home.

on LG smart TVs caught logging audio with screen off and snooping on local devices in c/technology@lemmy.world · 7 Sep 2026
Consenting to recording makes recording legal.
Making that consent required to use the TV or its features and it being buried within lengthy, opaque terms of service in a country with a low level of literacy should be illegal, but it stands in the US because it’s a consumer hostile country.

My pleasure! I was curious myself and thought you might appreciate what I found.

No one in this comment thread read the article and each side arguing with incorrect points is pretty comical.

on Dutch central bank shifts billions in gold to London in 'crisis preparedness' move in c/europe@feddit.org · 2 Sep 2026
They just sold most of it and purchased gold in London. The remaining 27 metric tonnes they did ship would only take up 1.4 cubic meters as a solid block, so probably 2-3 cubic meters as bars. A large shipping container can hold about 68 cubic meters, though they’d likely have to spread the gold out to better distribute its weight no matter the shipping method.

on Nvidia customers notified about AI-related price hikes above 15%, Bloomberg News reports in c/technology@lemmy.world · 24 Aug 2026
I can scarcely tell the difference between 2160p and 1440p, and 1440p and 1080p unless I’m actively looking, though I am in my fifth decade so my eyes aren’t what they used to be. I’ve found lower resolution with better settings to generally be better than the converse.
I’ve been using a 3080 for years and plan to keep using it until it goes to meet my Voodoo 5 in the great recycling bin in the sky. I’m lucky enough to have a second x16 slot so I picked up a 100€ used GPU for LSFG. Instant doubled frame rate, so now I’m good through 2035.

It’s even right in the dek: Businesses must disclose if they use consumer data to set individual prices.
Did they even read the article?

Yahoo itself is still extremely popular in the US, just with a different demographic…
My Nan was a faithful Yahoo user from her first WebTV right up to her death. I imagine she’d be exchanging all caps emails still if we’d buried her with a laptop.
