John Wayne toilet paper. Rough, tough, and doesn't take shit off of anyone.
Do they make them with LiPos? Everything I've ever owned had sealed Lead/Acid batteries. Really hard to cause any damage with those.
They're also adding a lot more incompatible text formatting and shit to keep Android incomplete with their real chat protocol. Gotta keep those teens bullying Android users. Also E2E encryption would be nice, but the EU didn't force them to do that.
Still great because MMS is garbage and ruins photo and video quality.
‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services
The fingerprinting I'm talking about gets encoded in the screen recording too. Subtle pixel changes here or there over the entire length of the video. It'll be lossy when it's transcoded, but over the whole video it's there enough times it won't matter. Even scaling to lower quality won't fix it and then it'll also be lower quality.
It'll be like DRM, there will be people trying to remove it like anything else. They'll break one thing and another will come along. There would still be a black market, but most people can get an unrestricted copy in exchange for money so there's one less reason to pirate.
Unless you're actually pointing a camera at the screen, then OK, you do you.

They could offer a way to download a copy and steganographically tag it to hell with your id so that they know if you distribute it. You can "loan it out" by letting friends stream off your Plex or whatever. If you start selling that streaming service or it shows up in torrents, it has your ID on it.
Boom, you own it forever and you're incentivized not to over share.
Or you know sell DRM free versions and let people do whatever, but that probably has a snowballs chance in hell.
Exactly. They really sealed the deal when they sent a push message to get people to call Congress and stop the ban. https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/7/24093308/tiktok-congress-ban-push-notification
"TikTok can be used to influence our citizens politically" * TikTok proves it true immediately on a personal level for legislators * "See!"
Couldn't have found a better way to put gas on that fire. You're supposed to ~bribe~ lobby when they start talking shit.
Exactly BYD is their biggest problem. Also they can't claim higher build quality so you'd really pay more for just the brand.
They stole the DNA data of users with recycled passwords. Last I saw this was 14,000 users and I was notified that at least one was transitively related to me. So they didn't get my DNA, just one or more user's view of my profile. I got out before a real breach happens and they do privilege escalation or phish an admin or something. Or like OP said go into bankruptcy/acquisition and sell their most valuable asset.
They say that they do, so I'll be getting a juicy $5 class action check if that was a lie. Most companies that implimented GDPR didn't do a lot of if eu actually delete type code. The cost of determining EU citizenship incorrectly is pretty high.
Yeah download and delete your account + data if you still have one.

The approach of LLMs without some sort of symbolic reasoning layer aren't actually able to hold a model of what their context is and their relationships. They predict the next token, but fall apart when you change the numbers in a problem or add some negation to the prompt.
Awesome for protein research, summarization, speech recognition, speech generation, deep fakes, spam creation, RAG document summary, brainstorming, content classification, etc. I don't even think we've found all the patterns they'd be great at predicting.
There are tons of great uses, but just throwing more data, memory, compute, and power at transformers is likely to hit a wall without new models. All the AGI hype is a bit overblown. That's not from me that's Noam Chomsky https://youtu.be/axuGfh4UR9Q?t=9271.
