Unfortunately, unless it is a moderators’ rule, this just won’t happen.



Lemmy is naturally more focused on technology, so sports communities will probably continue to be mostly on Reddit.


It seems so, some people in the thread complained their parents don’t use ChromeCast because it needed the phone to use. Apparently seniors are also better if you want to sell an expensive subscription when the opportunity arises.


It’s not that they’re stupid, it’s that their incentives aren’t the same as the long term wellbeing of the company.


That’s true, but this happens because usually 95% of people are always on the latest version a few months after the new version was released. For developers, it’s really not worth supporting older versions when the overwhelming majority of users already upgraded.

Still, many large companies still support older versions when the user base is very huge. I work for a huge bank and we had to support all the way to iOS 10. Only this year it was recently upped to iOS 14, which now covers probably 99.99% of users.



Yeah, there’s a reason this wasn’t done before generative AI. It couldn’t handle anything slightly more specific.


I think most people don’t realize how little money online ads make. Companies resort to it because people won’t pay for every little thing they use, but it’s not a lucrative endeavor. Reason why so many newspapers are shutting down and companies getting desperate after the VC money ran out.


Time to save the models we have now, cause they’ll never the quite the same.


This is only true if you ignore all the other variables. Which is, let’s say, another company hiring writers and now they’ll grow their market share in comparison with the shitty AI articles company.

Amazon has a lot of competition in Brazil and the more they make their service worse, the better for the competition. But so far Amazon only raised the bar (with fast deliveries), making all other companies improve their own services.


Not only did the AI predict elements of whale vocalizations already thought to be meaningful, such as clicks, but it also singled out acoustic properties.

This is an amazing use of machine learning models.


Whatever form of entertainment you want to see. TikTok algorithm quickly adjust the algorithm to show you what you like or don’t skip instantly, and it’s very good at it.

The problem is it’s all superficial content that will vanish from your mind 3s later, so 2h scrolling on TikTok or Reels feel like 2 blank hours from your day. Besides, since the algorithm decides what you’ll see, it’s like your brain shuts down similarly to what happens when you’re vegetating in front of TV watching whatever crap they’re throwing at you.


On one hand, it is quite cheap but on the other hand their catalog is very bad. I wonder how long will these streaming services survive before they go all the way through the enshittification and kill themselves.


And when it’s not blatant misinformation, it is almost that, as information presented on short content video is stripped out of any nuances and complications that are often present in reality.


Ever since I saw camera reviews online I crossed the 12 out from my options. The 11 (and 13) pictures were considered better and more color accurate in most blind test reviews.



Yet the article says Samsung attributes that to the phones market?

Samsung attributes this loss in profit to the decline in smartphone shipments due to “high interest rates and inflation.”

Something else that doesn’t seem to bode well is the fact that Samsung believes the boost that came from the launch of the Galaxy S23 series has faded.

And expects a comeback because it’s launching new models…

The manufacturer highlights the launch of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5. It also believes that the smartphone market will make a return.

This seems to indicate that most variable profit comes from the smartphones market.



Some people have been saying that since the beginning while some haven’t noticed this “decline”. It seems very subjective.


Wouldn’t any automated system ideally escalate to the next tier of (human) support when it detects something complicated?

In my experience, this never happens. Since they have now very few human staff they make it VERY difficult to talk to a human to the point you often give up.


It would be nice to have shown the stats over recent years, though.
