I always said that 8.1 is the most optimized even compared to 7 (mostly because they launched it together with phone version which shared a lot of stuff with 8 so it includes a lot of optimizations under the hood). Most people never cared to use it apparently.
If you zoom in and measure distances in pixels you’ll see it’s manipulated.
I mean if the binary and the keys are available somewhere on the internet…
How illegal would it be to provide an AI model with a button “modify the GPU driver until HDMI 2.1 features are working properly”?
The article mentions Chrome/Chromium: 9 times
The article mentions Google: 0 times
Google made Chrome. Chrome had that multi-process architecture at its core which allowed to consume as much memory as needed even on 32-bit OS. Chromium was always inside it and open source. Then they created CEF, which allowed webdevs to build “real” apps, and that opened the floodgates. Electron was first built on it but they wanted to include Node and couldn’t because it required too much experience in actual coding. So they switched to Chromium. It didn’t change much in the structure, just basically invited more webdevs to build more “real” apps (at 1.0 release Electron advertised hundreds of apps built with it on its website).
Google could do something about how the web engine works in frameworks (that don’t need that much actual web functionality), but didn’t. They invited webdevs to do anything they want. Webdevs didn’t care about security because mighty Google would just publish new Chromium update eventually. They never realized they don’t need more security in their local “real” apps gui that connect to their websites because there is not much room for security danger in such scenarios. They just always updated the underlying engine because why not. Chromium dll is now at 300 mb or something? All of that code is much needed by everyone, is it not?
So, for me the sequence was always seen as this:
Google (caring about webdevs, not OS) ->
Webdevs (not caring about native code and wanting to sell their startup websites by building apps) ->
Reckless web development becoming a norm for desktop apps ->
Corporations not seeing problems with the above (e.g. Microsoft embedding more stuff with WebView2 aka Chromium)
So yes, Google has everything to do with it because it provided all the bad instruments to all the wrong people.
Personally, I don’t care much about hating Microsoft anymore because its products are dead to me and I can only see my future PCs using Linux.
And it always used Chromium under the hood.
Brb gonna buy some RGB ads from AliExpress to decorate my bathroom…
Thank Google for those cool products.
Behold, here is the screenshot of an example result from the included paper.
What do we have on a kitchen wall? But of course, a banner for an upcoming Streaming TV show.
You should check the included PDF - contents are crazy. But the example result looks comically similar to an overlay.
Just tape that stuff to a wall -> zero floor space used.
Russia issued a lot of legal requirements that don’t make sense. For example they at some point asked more money than we have on the planet, from Google.
Complying with the law on a territory not controlled by sensible human beings should be considered questionable at the very least.
Using jellyfin on Chromecast. For the past 3 weeks I’m stuck not being able to use it because some update broke subtitles support for external players. App became useless, I can’t downgrade it, and the bug is still not fixed.
Not going to use Plex, just my 2 cents.
I just patched the APK to block the ads.
Nah it’s probably just Edge (aka Chrome) all over the new UI.
I mean does it even look like creators are aiming to produce child like appearance? Full sized products would be more expensive to create and ship, and for customers - to buy and store.
You can easily buy a compact silicone alternative with human body features and… you’d be called a mutilation maniac?
Is there actual correlation between buyers of such products and real child abusers?
I would like it to be worth of the watch. But from what I remember, deep strikes by Ukraine started to affect Russia during 2024, so I assume the stage of the war the video tells us about lasts for over a year already. I can only categorize this as a low effor content and can’t recommend it to anyone.
Android TV / Chromecast: subtitles are broken since November for external players. Literally stopped watching my shows.
