Dyskolos

They can do whatever they want. It’s just a prejudgment. For me, it’s just an instant turn-off like smoking or treating weaker people badly.

And surely, if anyone can do whatever they want, that includes me and my judgment 😁

There’s still a tiny difference (to me at least) between dressing nicely (which is very subjective) or taking care of ones health and painting my face to look like something different.

I don’t care what people do though. Just a personal opinion.

Fair points. Replied too quickly and might’ve overseen the last “not give a fuck” part 🫤

Too late, already did. Was great. Our gate has a simple “go away!” Sign that further conveys that message. It does wonders!

A true shitty shit post.

And unpopular opinion: makeup is totally silly. Why would anyone seriously paint their faces to look “better” than they actually do? Is the world that insecure? I never really understood the appeal. Except with “legitimate” groups like clowns or gothics etc.

Dude. It’s the USA. Those people will simply starve then. Problem solves itself. Like magic, but without work!

Haha. Funny. If this isn’t bait, you might wanna try therapy. You’re still very young and you might manage to turn the wheel and become a decent creature.

Guessing you either didn’t actually have a real HDR monitor, or just didn’t realise it shouldn’t look like what it did.

Yeah, me being technologically challenged is probably it. Dude, I retired around 25 because of tech. Besides, if you ever toggled HDR while having 5 monitors attached, you’d think hard if it would be REALLY needed right now 😁

On device or in cloud, you have privacy settings that control it.

Sorry, I just don’t have that level of naiveté. A US-company pumping billions into AI and not use our data for anything? That is why they already gather that much, even without LLMs? Half of my firewall-rules are for MS, so little do they phone home 😁

But at least only one windows machine will be problematic, my others are win-server, they won’t get this crap. So no worries for me anyway.

Stop whining about censorship, stop using media that is controlled by so few people. It’s that simple.

It’s like putting my hand in a crocs mouth and trusting it to not bite.

Lord, please give me A DIFFERENT sign.

In a situation where performance isn’t required but absolute zero overhead is paramount, this is a perfect sort. Depends on the data itself though. Lots of small numbers maybe multiply each by 10 or 20, lots of big numbers…well…bad luck.

Seriously? Because not everything supports HDR lol

I never switched it off and never had problems in any content. Weird 😊

If you know the keyboard shortcut, sure. With a mouse how do you do it in a second while you’re in a game?

It’d be not the wisest move to toggle it while in a game. And maybe I’d need two seconds, possibly even three or four. A worthy price for privacy in my book

Great! So there we have it, you recognise that you were wrong. We got there in the end, hooray!

Nonsense. I said from the beginning there are niche-usecases. Those don’t invalidate all arguments per se

MS" don’t have to, just copilot on your device, without any feedback to MS.

And here’s where you’re seriously wrong. It might be local only for simple things like file-search (doesn’t mean your voice-data isn’t sent for “performance and quality assurance” reasons). Most stuff is or will, obviously, be cloud-based. They wouldn’t put billions into that just so that regular Joe from accounting can open office faster. They do it for profit

“MS” don’t have to, just copilot on your device, without any feedback to MS.

Yeah sure. Some features are local only. IF you have a compatible NPU in your machine. If not then it’ll be cloud too. The data on what is local only is freely accessible.

AI can already interact with third party products

Some ai with some 3rd party products. Surely never all with everything. Also we’re talking about copilot only.

1. Why should i toggle hdr off?
2. Takes a second to do with a mouse or keyboard

As to the other example: Sure, useful. To people who just don’t care about privacy (Which is kinda weird from someone with the nick “freedomadvocate”). As MS should not have access to my mails, my calender or my to-do-list. And especially not my contacts :-) Besides you’re just assuming one would exclusively use MS-products to do that. Try that shit with non-ms-products and it becomes just a waste of time.

But for people unable to do so “normally” or who would save tremendous amounts of time there might be a good use. But that’s what i said at the start. Very niche use-case.

Sure thing, doesn’t mean that the apple-heads are unable to solve problems. Just not technical, computer-related ones :-)

That is a mighty fine note you made mate :)

The US is based on fear. Fear of health, fear of loan, fear of god, fear of guns, fear of “that other party”, fear of candy…

I produce nothing, I create nothing. I just consume, travel, delve into my hobbies and enjoy life and don’t give a crap about my “value” others might or might not attribute to me.

I hate Apple with all my guts, but in all fairness:

problem-solving skills surely don’t correlate. Tech-illiteracy though…very likely does. By anectodal knowledge at least.

Don’t forget desqview. Best multitasking ever. One of my PCs could run 3 nodes of my BBS and a working session.

Or GEOS. An os-thingie with mouse and shit 😁

Also don’t forget OS/2. Which really was great compared to the first windows…

You are incredible…if you see a worthy value to sacrifice privacy to do “all os-stuff by voice”, then go for it. Even if it’d be a local LLM I couldn’t think of one single scenario where this might be remotely handy. Can you? Or are you just antagonizing out of boredom?
