The idea is not to have a subscription for having the content. As you say, it’s just files.

The licence, should be for the ability to create new files based on the actors voice.

I like the idea, but the voice should be licenced like a patent.

Game developers should have to purchase a subscription licence in order to use a voice actors voice in AI generated content.

If they don’t renew it, they cannot use it for any new content.

Agree. KDE neon is my daily right now. Very good out of the box. I just had to nuke snaps on it. Plays very nicely on laptops in terms of battery life, noise and temperature. Sleep and hibernate also works very well.

Having to pay only 10% of your income for room and board, sounds so good, people would kill for it.

I am not referring to a like to dislike ration, I am referring to a dislike to view ratio. YouTube should bury those from recommendations.

Or, you can bring back the dislike button and stop promoting videos with high dislike ratios.

Exactly. It’s very useful in a managed environment. It’s performance overheads suck though.Way too much CPU usage.

But it should not be part of Windows, only office 365 or as an optional 3rd party service.

Same story with icloud on Apple and Google Drive on Android.

No free version of a paid cloud service should be included in any OS. It should require a separate opt-in sign up. Have we not learnt anything from the Microsoft antitrust cases.

True, Linux is both the best and the worst at the same time.

The Base OS is great, but the apps are mostly terrible, with a few notable exceptions.

Its chronic underinvestment in engineering to “maximize shareholder value” for a decade before AMD launched Zen. Then Intel got 5 years behind on engineering, and have only managed to get 2 of those 3 caught up. The newest tile based architecture only just matches the performance of AMD’s 3 year old AM4 architecture.

Perfect market timing.

Why do my windows upgrades never run this smoothly?

No, back in those days these were very much hardware/firmware based. It’s a decade before the SD standard.

It’s also from a period where Windows machines were riddled witb viruses that spread by USB. This prevented your drive from getting infected.

This is probably my favourite metal flashdrive of all time. I had a 1GB of the first generation and then later another usb3 one of 32GB

These days I carry one of these on my keychain.

Surprisingly fast given the size. Will do 300MB/s sequential read. About 90MB/s write

I use medicat/ventoy on it with windows 11 , debian and linux mint ISOs on it.

One of these took me through university in 2002

I really miss the hardware read only switch.

Computer labs did not have front USB back in those days, so we had to choose between floppies or diving under the desks. I was in the diver club.

32MB was massive for documents at the time. It could hold your entire academic life back then.

It’s way past that point long ago.

But shareholders don’t understand that, so publishers will continue forcing developers to use it.

Amazon mechanical Turk service.

In the future your robot waiter will be a Asian working for 6 cents an hour.

Until it’s wings “Snaps”.

Ubuntu does so much good, this is one thing I wish they would abandon.

Or at minimum, not have it as the default option.

My wife once sent me to the shop to pick up some hand lotion, a cucumber and a box of tissues.

The 16 year old girl behind the counter gave me a weird look.
