It's too bad these models are built on the expectation of pirating the world

The number of legitimate users on "not chrome, edge, safari, or firefox" is about 10% of the browser market. I don't know about you, but if I'm running a shop, and the whole point of my website is to make sales, but my front door is preventing 10% of those sales? That door is getting replaced.
If you were running a shop, you would realize that nearly 100% of the fraud is "not chrome, edge, safari, or firefox"
It's unfortunate yes but that's what drives the threat signatures
supernovae commented on Sonos CEO steps down after app update debacle reuters.com/business/reta... · Posted by u/saaaaaam
It has been bizarre watching this debacle from the sidelines. I must have bought just on the recent side of whatever demarcation of problems are being complained about.
My app works fine. My speakers work fine. The worst problem we have is rarely the music pauses, we're unsure why, and we just hit play again.
I'm wondering if there is some functionality I am not aware I'm missing or if it is limited to older models that I am simply not experiencing the problems with?
I spent truckloads of money on home theater and audio systems and have been quite happy with my Sonos.
I have the Sub, The original big play bar and some 1s and I have a record player that plays to sonos and then upstairs I have an Arc.
I've probably got 10 years on this system now and couldn't be happier. I remember having to replace my receivers 2-3 times in a 10 year time frame from failed circuits to needing HDMI to needing a newer HDMI and all that jazz.
My play bar has just been optical out from the TV and it's supported 5.1 audio realy well.
I use the spotify play direct. I'm not a huge fan of the newer app and I wasn't impressed with them EOL'ing products.
With that said, it's been wife and kid approved. Everyone in the house knows how to use it and its been problem free. No wires for my cat to chew on.

At some point isn't it natural for people to just hold on to the phones they already have ?
I probably average a new phone ever 18 months or so, but I'm a tech enthusiast. No normal person needs a new phone that often. At a point you saturate your market.
There is also a diminished value of mobile phones today vs yesteryear.
* Twitter is dead for all intents and purposes * Lots of mobile apps are dead/dying and people aren't using them in the same way they used to out of privacy or concerns - such as checking in where you eat or tracking your exercise/fitness. (Nike really screwed the pooch here) and see twitter dead * New phones just push performance which isn't really needed when people merely surf the web or click a few apps while they take a crap
I'd say a lot of the mobile apps are dead/dying because they gave up on the app store paradigm and went subscription. Take myfitnesspal for example - where its 80 bucks a year to subscribe to use USER GENERATED CONTENT and it isn't shareable because its not an app purchase, but rather a sub. So many apps did this now that the family share is useless..
and lets not forget phones are getting expensive in plans rather than more affordable.. remember the days of cable? that's what carriers like verizon are doing where its hard to avoid disney, hulu or game subs or other crap when you just want a cell phone plan
Thanks for the help ! I will definitely set this up. But if I have to install some extension for every single command I use, it really makes the experience tedious and sub-par compared to what I'd get on Linux..
only because your linux distro is doing it for you not because bash has git completion built in.
And, presumably, I'd prompt copilot to write those things for me... from within powershell? Using what command?
Generative AI can do a lot of fun things, but we're talking about a but it does not belong anywhere near an interactive shell.
on windows copilot is built into the task bar with a popout window on right side bar showing output that can work with clipboard. You can talk to it, copy in an image or screenshot and ask for details too. if you prompt for PowerShell it gives you a code block with a copy button. (oh and also reference links to learn more... which is much nice)

supernovae commented on A look at the early impact of Meta Llama 3 ai.meta.com/blog/meta-lla... · Posted by u/magoghm
I wonder what is the game plan for OpenAI and Anthropic now. Suddenly their offering looks very bleak, Llama offering almost the same results for a fraction of the cost (for a large subset of tasks in English). Additionally it can be ran on-prem which is a very big plus for many companies that don't like their data leaving premise. To add to that it's constantly getting better being iterated over by the community.
And the 400 billion one is still in the making, extrapolating from what we've seen from the 8 and 70 billion ones it should beat the current commercial SOTA. Whatever OpenAI releases this year will need to be next-level for them to stay in the game as the leader.
No idea. The markets did lunch Meta in the gut today though so who knows what the outcomes will be. It feels like a lot of goodwill but investors don’t agree (even though EPS was up)
Ebay fees are upwards of 10-15%. Amazon fees can be as high as 45% Apple's app store fee can be 15 to 30%
Uber wants to get you coming and going by charging a Sub on the front end and splitting fees on the backend... it's like the worst of capitalism
