on Owners mourn spoiled food after firmware update bricks Samsung smart fridges in c/technology@lemmy.world · 17h ago
Of all the appliances that could be “smart”, I find the fridge the least exciting.
My heat pump has Wi-Fi. Cool, I can turn it on remotely so it starts heating or cooling my home.
Washing machine that tells you it’s finished and reports the ETA in the meantime - not an entirely unwanted feature, since the same program could take 1 hour or 5 depending on how much laundry I put in. Mine doesn’t have it and I don’t NEED it, but if I’m ever in the market again and two equivalent washing machines from a reputable brand (MAYBE I’d trust Miele. Definitely not Samsung, LG, most others) were priced roughly the same, I’d buy the one with it.
I just can’t think of a world where a smart fridge would work better for me than my dumb one though. I paid a bit extra to get one that had a better efficiency rating and a nearly silent compressor and that’s it. The only things I would find to be “upgrades” over this would be if it was a larger SBS one that made ice, but I decided not to triple the budget from ~600 to ~2000.

on Meta Now Banning Ads That Promote Feminism: "We have given social media unlimited power and every day we can see how dangerous this is." in c/technology@lemmy.world · 1d ago
They do pay “content creators” who have views on the opposite side of the political aisle and when caught paying far-right activists, they said:
“Such speech may be offensive to many, but it is not Meta’s role to police offensiveness,” the company added.
While PAYING to advertise a book with feminism as a theme is not OK. They’re clearly pushing an agenda.

they were able to earn money on their posts through the platform’s “Content Monetization” program — which is invitation-only.
I’m actually glad it’s invitation-only because there are some subjects on which I could write great informative content that would likely have great engagement from the people interested in those niches, but this way I’m not even tempted to log in and start posting lol

on Raspberry Pi is intentionally blocking RAM capacity upgrades in c/technology@lemmy.world · 2d ago
There’s a bit of a difference in that your iPhone is (used to be) more likely to be swiped for parts (since the whole phone is unuseable, but the screen e.g is still worth a couple hundred) than anyone is to sell counterfeit raspberry pis for profit - and if anyone did do that, why’s that even a problem? I know someone who successfully upgraded a Macbook Air to 8 GB back when they had the 4 GB option and that was also soldered RAM. All for his personal use, but the thing continued working and it’s trivial to implement a check for original config by serial number.

on Xiaomi Has a Luxury SUV for $31,000 That All Western Brands Should Fear in c/technology@lemmy.world · 3d ago
It’s not a preposterous take for China. They do whatever it takes to win and it shows. Lower wages, less considerations for the environment, etc.
Everything we care about has a cost. If we want the cheapest possible EVs, which most people here seem to want, then we need to ignore everything else. So you decide. Do you want super cheap EVs, or do you want good working conditions and limited pollution? And if it’s the latter, tariffs on Chinese EVs make sense because they do not adhere by the same rules.

Minivans’ case isn’t really helped here in Europe by the fact that they’re cheap econoboxes with 2 liter or smaller engines. The Chrysler minivan with its V6 is just about the only exception. And the Mercedes one, but that hasn’t been available in well over a decade. We don’t get the Sienna or the Odyssey for example.

on Apple May Return to Server Market With Nvidia Technology: The system would be sold to outside customers, potentially bringing Apple back into a business it left behind when it discontinued Xserve. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 17 Sep 2026
Isn’t it a consumer brand?
Trust me, consumers aren’t the ones buying 5k€ displays, nor the nearly 20k€ maxed out Mac Studios.
Feels like opposite of “enterprise friendly priced hardware”
We don’t know what the pricing will be.
Something to consider: All those nVidia GPU servers have discrete GPUs, meaning they need to have both RAM and VRAM, and any time there’s need to transfer something between RAM and VRAM, that’s overhead. Apple runs everything in a shared pool of memory - which at present is significantly slower than the VRAM on those nVidia GPUs since it’s DDR rather than HBM, but if they do what they did with the Ultra line of chips and go even further, e.g glue together 8 chips instead of 2, they might make up a bit of the difference in memory bandwidth. Or they could add HBM to these chips I guess.
And a single nVidia DGX B300 with 2.1 TB VRAM is several hundred thousand. And a single one of those is not enough to run the biggest models. By offering less powerful chips and cheaper memory, they might theoretically be able to offer tons of memory and acceptable, though lower, performance for much less money. Allows security-conscious companies to run high-end LLMs locally. And since they deal in shared memory, you might be able to use CPU instead of GPU if that’s more efficient in some specific part of inference, without transferring things between different memory spaces.

The Mistral stuff is completely proprietary except for the final weights as far as I can tell
Same as most open weight models. There are very few truly open source models, particularly if your definition requires distributing the whole training dataset.
I’d rather resist that since I want to be able to build and modify it myself.
I hope you’ve got some damn beefy hardware then. Even small models are a pain to train from scratch. You CAN still fine-tune it or train with LoRA.

on Solar panel costs have plummeted from $6 per watt in 2000 to just 12 cents today in c/technology@beehaw.org · 17 Sep 2026
€0.13/watt* here, random store I found online in my country, but it is a legitimate business, I checked that much. Not quite $0.12, but close enough and I didn’t spend much time looking for it.
Though I feel like just a few months ago I couldn’t find anything this cheap.
Either way, for me personally, my geographical location makes it kinda useless in the winter and for some months I’d have nothing to do with the excess I would produce from just a few panels - in the summer, there’s no point selling to the grid during daytime and the nights are too short to make proper use of any stored energy, you’d have fully charged batteries all the time.
Couple of months in spring and fall where things would run into a nice equilibrium though. Unfortunately not enough savings to pay for a battery. Think sodium batteries will change that over the coming years though, so I might go for it eventually.
* just noticed this is excluding VAT, so add 24% on top - but then price comparisons make sense without VAT anyway, since that varies by country. I think most US states have much lower sales tax than our VAT.

The translation feature has been very useful, though it’s not an LLM. Still a neural network though. Saves me from going to google translate when browsing websites in e.g Russian (drive2.ru or whatever turns up in google search every so often when looking up obscure information on some cars and european oils that bitog forums don’t see as much).
It entirely depends on what the AI does and if it’s opt-in, opt-out, or forced on you. Opt-in local AI with sensible features is actually a good thing IMO.

on The state of European cloud providers in 2026 in c/technology@lemmy.world · 16 Sep 2026
I suspect you mean this one
As an EU national, a trader cannot charge you more when you buy a product or service just because of your nationality or country of residence. Some price differences can be justified if they’re based on objective criteria and not just on nationality. For example, differing postage costs may mean you pay more for delivery in one country than in another.
But they aren’t discriminating by your country of residence. The PRICE that the vendor charges is the same regardless of where you’re from. Your own country charges VAT, through the vendor. That’s on top of the price.
Well consumers don’t pay it to the tax offices, nor do they do the reporting
Yes, but it’s a direct line item when they buy something. And only consumers don’t get it back. It is a tax on consumers specifically.

Okay, fair, it’s not the ONLY reason they claim it’s dangerous. Obviously marketing is a large part of it. But they sure as hell would both like a duopoly setup enforced by LAW for themselves.

But anyone making an AI better or cheaper than the established players, would be deemed dangerous. Those working with the DoD would of course not be considered dangerous. Foreign models?

on The state of European cloud providers in 2026 in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Sep 2026
There are rules and regulations set into place in the EU that the prices including VAT should be the same for consumers. Which means that there shouldn’t be a difference in price even though there is a difference in VAT rate
Hetzner definitely shows different price when you change VAT rate. So does Netcup. OVH just shows price without VAT. How would you keep the price same regardless of VAT rate anyway? Then you’d instead have to charge businesses of different countries a different amount essentially, meaning you’re the one discriminating by country. No, you have one price and then different countries add VAT differently to it. Do you have a link to those rules and regulations?
There are, though, cases where it’s OK to just charge your local VAT rate for everyone, rather than the customer’s local VAT rate. I only sell within my own country anyway so I’m not up to date on that - I believe it’s physical goods rather than digital services?
It is also not the end consumers problem that the VAT rate is higher
It sorta is, we’re the only ones paying it in reality?
Between B2B and B2C sales I’d get the same amount of money for the same invoice and have to pay VAT on it either way, which the customer pays to me, but the B2B customer gets a VAT refund and the B2C customer does not. Similarly, on any B2B purchases I make, I get a VAT refund myself. Nobody refunds VAT to me if I buy things as an end consumer.

Much more likely that cell towers get overwhelmed in that area. Or that they pull Grindr down in general. But the claim that always gets made is that they bring it down in the exact city where the convention happens lol

Some ~8-9 years ago when I first used Tinder, that was already quite gamified, much worse than what you describe. They had a subscription for infinite swiping and no ads, clearly aimed at men because there are fewer women and they find matches more easily.
A year ago, it was much, much worse already. You’d see as many bots as real women, and that’s in a small country - go to NYC and bots probably outweigh real women tenfold. Fewer and fewer swipes. You don’t get shown to women outside of your “elo” range (which isn’t a number you actually see, but everyone has an assigned “value” it seems), even though they get shown to you - no real point in swiping much of the time.
I hope people find a way to connect in real life.
If you have access to third places where people are open to meeting new people, that’s indeed the best way. I’m lucky enough not to live in a super car-centric city in the US or anything like that. Some people don’t have that going for them :/

20 years ago internet was a whole different place anyway. You’d set up a useful website as a hobby, it’d be monetized with either ads or a subscription if it was truly game changing, but it wouldn’t be invasive, if it makes you a living that’s great, if it doesn’t then you still have a day job. They were hobby projects. Now all the easy niches are filled already, you need to put a lot more effort into building something that people would want to use. That costs money. You start off by amassing costs, meaning you either sink a ton of your own money or investor funds into it. Now you truly do have to ‘acquire users at any cost’ and then monetize the shit out of them.

Hi, I’m from the EU, I have the right to get all of my data removed from a centralized service using GDPR. How do I do it on a decentralized one?
Leaving aside the whole issue of those companies not being trustworthy about the data deletion, at least my profile won’t be public when its’ been deleted and I’ve got someone to make a complaint about if I have reason to think they’ve lied about it. The fines can be pretty high. With federation, actually getting all copies of your profile deleted is nearly impossible. With torrent style decentralization, it seems completely impossible. Everyone will have access to everyone else’s data and it’ll be trivial to make backups.
Presumably most people would be using this on their phones with mostly their mobile data. An issue with the bittorrent protocol is that to open a connection, one peer has to have a port forwarded. Is this different with webtorrent?
Federation is simpler than true P2P here, but you then still need to trust the instance admins. It’s fine for Lemmy/piefed style media for me because I don’t put my real name, face and other details here.
My personal opinion is that a centralized alternative owned by a foundation rather than a for-profit company would be best of both worlds: No profit motive, just like decentralized. A centralized entity that holds liability in case there’s a data leak or someone starts spreading CSAM. And ability for said centralized entity to moderate said CSAM, scams and other reports.

I suspect you’ll have one big pain point to address that most apps other than the few big ones struggle with: The network effect. How do you get enough people on your app that it’s worth it for people to get on your app?
Suspect you need either a really visible feature you can advertise (“we’re not enshittified” alone isn’t necessarily enough to sway people), or a ton of advertising budget.
I toyed with the idea of building an app myself, wanted to build something similar to what OKCupid used to be, where you could optionally answer questions about yourself and calculate compatibility based on those. Building an actually good algorithm to find you people you’d most likely truly like seemed interesting. Then I realized I don’t have the time to see it through as a project to the point I’d get a truly active userbase and I’d have to run it at a loss for at least a few years so I can’t quit my other work. Hope you do better, match.com truly needs some competition.

They’ve gotten worse by the year. If you’re married and have 2 kids, you probably were on them long enough ago that it was quite different. You might also be conventionally attractive.
I’ve been single a couple of times in my life and some of those times I created a Tinder (and/or Bumble, OKCupid) account.
First time must’ve been about 8-9 years ago now after I got broken up with. Got an okay amount of matches, tons of interesting conversations. Met a few people IRL. Found a girlfriend after about half a year, ended up not being very compatible, broke up, made another Tinder account. 3-4 years on Tinder, getting fewer matches by the year. Increasingly few interesting conversations, met maybe 4-5 people IRL over that time (some of whom I’m still friends with). Ended up meeting the person who would become my baby mama and ex-wife. After I divorced her, created a new Tinder account and… near-zero matches. I saw TONS of bots. Like super obvious bots, all the same-ish profile archetypes (my favourite one being random letters for name with a weird blurry photo of a red building, saw hundreds of those). Half a year and two dates with one woman later, I just… deleted it and embraced being single. An average looking woman makes an account and in a few hours they have 99+ likes (where it stops showing the exact amount). Not quite happening for me or any men I know.
I’m not super attractive, kinda average looking face and a bit overweight, but I’m quite strongly built and masculine which some women seem to find, I dare say, irresistible, but many do not. But I’ve never (in my adult life - middle school was different) had problems holding a conversation with a woman, I’ve always had creative bios and decent photos compared to many I’ve been shown from other guys’ profiles. My ability to get matches on Tinder, Bumble, whatever, has gone down over the years, whereas I feel off those apps I’m better than ever? I’ve joked that I have the exact same thing with jobs and women: Once I get to the interview, I’m in, but getting there rarely happens.
And like… it’s not just the quantity of matches that went down. Quality too. By match quality I don’t mean “I matched shit people”, that would be quite arrogant of me to say. I mean I used to match more people with whom I felt I had things in general. People with whom a conversation would just flow until 5 AM. That just stopped happening over time.
Oh and you get fewer swipes than ever, no longer get any free superlikes on a free plan (you get 5 a week on gold I think, used to get few on free…), etc. The gold plan is like 20€ a month which I got as a bonus through my Revolut plan and… they still keep upselling you on both a more expensive sub, and consumable boosts.
Most other apps belong to the same company and seem to have degraded similarly - but none of them are used much here anyway, there’s 100x fewer people on Bumble and OKCupid would just show me people from other countries only.
TL;DR: Used to get more matches. Used to match people who I’d actually enjoy talking to (and vice versa). App itself is trying to upsell you more and more while you get about as much on paid plans now as you did on free plans back in the day.

Incidentally that’s why I don’t let it go crazy on anything without tests. Shit, it could rerun the test 10 times if it needs to, I don’t really care what the intermediate steps are, just that the end result is correct and it isn’t polluting my codebase with 7 line comments and docstrings for helper methods that are simpler than left-pad. If it then successfully fixes a difficult-to-find (but often easy to fix) bug that stems from changes to a large upstream codebase 9 times out of 10, then as far as I’m concerned, the accuracy of the tool I’m using is 90%. Don’t much care if the underlying model’s accuracy is technically only 50% or maybe even less. Still haven’t found a definitive solution for the claudespeak comments. They’re annoying and no matter how and how many times I tell it to stop adding them, it will fucking not.
Which is ALSO why I think asking a chatbot for advice on anything you’re not knowledgeable about yourself is a horrible idea. The accuracy is OK if it can iterate against validation.

For most of the generation, 360 was ahead of the PS3. It came out an entire year before the PS3, which helped it become more popular than any other generation of Xbox. PS3 overtook it like a year before the xbone and ps4 were released.
And while technically Wii was in first place, they were never running in the same competition. You needed a Wii for Nintendo exclusives and at the same time, couldn’t play a lot of the other games on it, or if you could, you had to put up with significantly worse performance. Wii+PS or Wii+Xbox was a much more common combination to own than PS+Xbox for a reason.
