I could see that. AI seems like an expensive solution to just getting people to stop clicking "reply all" though.

Kinda crazy that the easier solution may not be changing people's behavior, but creating an entire system capable of reading and understanding text.

    Nothing it does is anything we haven't seen before. And if Siri is any indication, it won't be all that useful in the real world.

    The problem I see with AI is that it seemingly takes just as long to figure out how to ask the AI what you want as it takes going into the app and just reading an email or writing a message. And then when it summarizes, how can you really trust that it hasn't misconstrued something that you could have caught by reading it?

    It's also a symptom of the way American cities and suburbs are designed. Where are the third places where you can walk to for hanging out after work? Where are the parks with restaurants, events, space for exercise? And even if they do exist, you're packing up your car to be outside maybe once a week (because it's a big thing to get your kid in the car) instead of just stepping out of the house.

    Living life in most of the US is designed to feel lonely.

    I feel like aside from full-on accessibility settings for those who need them (which absolutely should be implemented and the FromSoft devs don't get a pass on this), they could do something as simple as a 2% speed, health, & damage nerf to all their enemies and it could be enough for most newcomers that have paid for the game, but didn't get anything out of it. Like me. There are probably a huge amount of people that bought the game because of glowing "this is GOTY" reviews and couldn't get past even Margit.

    It's about the restrictions they put in place on those who have bought their products. They make it extremely hard to leave their ecosystem, overcharge for services, and prevent interoperability with other products.

    They're only just now allowing RCS to try getting out ahead of these lawsuits. But they still don't allow side-loading (forcing developers to use their store so they can charge 30% on all sales), don't allow third-party app stores, and don't allow third-party browser engines (forcing everyone to reskin Safari).

    Plus, in the US, Apple has 55% market share as just one company. The next highest is Samsung at 25%.

    So yeah, they can play monopolistic games.

    I need some help. I've installed the Jellyfin container and it's running on my Synology NAS. It seems fine, but I can't get to the server through 192.168.x.x:8096. I get a typical "unable to connect."

    What settings do I need to configure to connect to it? I've already allowed the port on my Windows laptop.

    Thanks

     

    Let's start with a smartphone. A user creates an account with a passkey for a service, that passkey gets stored on their smartphone, and they can use biometrics to sign in from then on. The private key is stored on the smartphone. Great.

    But then how do you sign into that same service from a different device?

    If it's by using a password manager, some third party piece of software, How do you sign in on a device where you're not allowed to install third party software?
