Does any one here, working in IT, have a sense for how “on-going” this issue is expected to be? Is this something that is largely going to be resolved in a day or two, or is this going to take weeks/ months?

That or dumb money is just dumb, and if the cost of money is free, you can just guess at things that might work with thousands of monkeys hitting typewriters.

You know if you use temple_os you don’t have to worry about updates?

The apple silicon architecture is really interesting, but its wasted on the company managing and producing the products built on it.

The biggest issue facing all silicon right now is CUDA. If you can’t do ML acceleration, in a meaningful way that connects with existing architectures, its a nonstarter. I’m not sure what the solution is, but it isn’t metal. We need a FOSS drop in replacement for CUDA similar to x86

That being said go ahead and pirate, I’m not your dad

What am I letters on a screen? I’m not going to stop you.

I mean, I don’t know your use case, but as a self-hoster/ research scientist, I think my usage is much much. And I do rely on mine for business, as my wife and I both rely on it for hosting our data, which for me is large geospatial datasets, and when I’m doing large compute runs, there are many many read writes. We also store a large amount of music/ videos for streaming and running a jelly fin server. Thats been fine as well. I think since in our case we don’t have a ton of people hitting the server at once, its just never as stressed as it might be in a corporate/ multi user environment.

No issues what’s so ever. Have them in a four drivE QNAS. I was a bit concerned about them being cheaper drives initially but after I got them installed I literally haven’t thought about them again in terms of reliability.

0 complaints and they seem to be doing about as well as some more expensive drives might be.

I think Berserk?

That or cowboy bebop.

I * think * those were the brand I bought?

Regardless, 80 for 12 TB is a steal.

They probably use Arch.

“AI” has been used for many things for many years. The fact that the news is full of machine learning and generative AI doesn’t mean that it’s sensible to condemn anything using it.

Maybe you should move onto Edge. I hear they are big on AI in the browser.

Its absolutely not my job to protect Firefox from its self.

They are the ones who made the announcement and I could give two wiffs of stinky piss about their image. I only care if they make a good product that serves my needs. The microsecond their product ceases to to be a ‘good’ product from my personal viewpoint, I’m dropping them and calling them out on it. They’ve got the best browser in the game rn (imo). Its their game to lose but it looks like they are starting to make some dumb ass choices.

Corporate cheer leading is for sycophants.

Any where? Its a browser not a religion.

You miss the point. This takes away from them actually building and maintaining a browser. If they want to do this as a plug in or something, that’s fine. I do not want it and am not interested in anything AI related being built into the browser. Its that toxic, VC mindset around everything having to be everything and following the hype of the moment. Its dumb and the announcement was a redflag warning.

If they want to build extensions that do those things, I fully support them.

I don’t need or want my engineering team building my browser doing things other than building my browser. I want them working on the browser. I need AI I didn’t ask for in my browser like I need an additional hole in my head.

I want my browser to be a browser and if Firefox isn’t focused on just building a great browser, I’m leaving.

The second they start sticking AI bloat in Firefox, I’m out.

I put a 1 hr limit on the game. At the one hour mark, Mint was still winning.
