Totally agree. It sounds like something was lost in translation here by the final edit of potentially some run though a llm for proof reading to dumb it down enough to either just make it more consumable, more clickbait or realistic both.

My guess is the actual research reported that it was 100s of packets per second (not screenshots) which is still a lot more than you would expect even for spyware. Either way it’s been well known that smart tvs are spyware ridden, I don’t need a paywalled service to tell me that.

Aaaaand

^Pop goes the AI bubble.

Last stages of capitalism for tech is usually in the form of an ipo of some sort which is what this will lead to.

There will be other cool shit obviously with integrations and tools that will hopefully trickle down to open source models but the writing is on the wall. This is a cash out and enshittify move.

The best news out of it is we will start to see less and less “our company is Ai and we shoved Ai into said thing” as the companies late to the game will continue to shoot their shot until OpenAI has completely dominated the market and investors stop caring.

If sleeping the wrong way for 12 hours was sound.^

Honestly this sounds like a bit of a pickle. If I were in your situation I would just use one of the cellular carriers 5g internets. I personally use a T-Mobile 5g internet hotspot with a fresh tomato flashed nether 6700 plugged into it. Then I basically do all of my networking from that. Latency is a fair bit higher (usually about 30-50ms) but upload is significantly better than spectrum.

1. Install watch on odysee extension.
2. Make a odysee account
3. Continue your normal habits of watching YouTube but being redirected to odysee when creators have posted there.
4. hurt YouTube just a little bit.

I’m so sick of hearing that odysee is only a nazi crypto scam. That content exists on every platform but by shitting all over every option that comes out and then whining when YouTube does more anti user crap is just ridiculous.

You don’t need to just use odysee. You can use YouTube for your recommendations then be redirected for the content. Eventually when recommendations are there it will be an easy transition for the majority of people but until then, at the very least don’t step on the face of a working competitor that has good intentions.

P.s. You don’t need to use the token, it was mostly just given to viewers and creators for free.

I wouldn’t say it particularly sucks. It could be used as a powerhouse hosting server. Docker makes it very easy to do no matter the os now a days. Really though I’d say its competition is more along the lines of ampere systems in terms of power to performance. It even beats amperes 128 core arm cpu at a power to performance ratio which is extremely impressive in the server/enterprise world. Not to say you’re gonna see them in data centers because price to performance is a thing as well. I just feel like it fits right into the niche it was designed for.

You make good points here for the beginner however there are better alternatives and solutions for basically everything you mentioned here. The biggest I want to address is conflicts on your system. Generally running servers on metal is just outright bad practice. Containerize. Always containerize. There are lots of great options. Docker, podman, Lxc, helm, flatpak… hell. Snap if you must. Running servers on metal is generally is just asking for trouble unless the system’s entire purpose is for that. Also the cg-nat situation. Personally been behind it for a few years but it’s not a problem as long as you have a reverse proxy tunnel in place. Not a hard fix at all.

For those who are saying just photoshop.

Obviously you can just use other software but PS is the main choice for image editing. What they need to do is put legislation in place and it will make the biggest players implement this form of drm.

They are deafening but usually they are very well insulated seeing as keeping servers cool is very expensive and extremely important.

If you like 1.1.1.1 the. You should try 9.9.9.9. Or better yet host unbound pihole if you’re up to the challenge. Best dns experience I’ve had.

Jesus Christ. Have people never heard of covers? Every song here is in some way or another akin to a published cover of another song. Pretty bad ones at that. Obviously if it were matching the songs one for one, then it would be considered copywrite enforceable but realistically these would be more along the lines of copywrite abuse. The music labels would absolutely love for this precedent to be set so that anything even that remotely resembles anything ever made will allow them to own new independent artists within established genres.

The cases

Here is a list of cases that set precedent. The thing that connects them all and makes them relevant is that the defendant was either successful, made a lot of money, was very popular or it was the label attacking a artist for sounding like themself after leaving the band.
