Was just remembering Minitel. The internet before there was an internet. Made in France. A friend of mine had one of these. Back in 1985.

The newest most powerful chips from Intel and AMD don't qualify for Microsoft's newest CoPilot+ AI branding. We're already seeing INCREDIBLE deals on crazy powerful PCs, because of all the AI hype! Here's my review of the Geekom A8, with a BEAST of an AMD chip inside! https://somegadgetguy.com/b/45e

"Elon claims that X is now up to 600 million monthly active users, and around 300 million daily actives."

"X also reported reaching 500 million monthly users in March 2023, so based on these stats, X seemingly added 50 million more users in a year, but has now added another 50 million in just eight weeks."

😂😂😂

Highly doubt X gained 50 million users in only 8 weeks.

African AI workers, mostly from Kenya, released an open letter to Joe Biden this week asking him stop US tech companies from “systemically abusing and exploiting African workers” and to end the “modern day slavery” they’re subjected to.

When Bing, Microsoft’s search engine platform, went down early yesterday, it took down a number of services with it, including ChatGPT search, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo — all of which rely on the Bing API to operate.

With the majority of Google search alternatives taken out in one fell swoop, it highlighted the lack of competition that Google search truly has, and the implications that has on our online experience. Is there another way? @arstechnica has more.

A quick short on Apple turning EVERY WiFi router into a location tracker, the privacy mess it could potentially create, and how to opt out. Enjoy!

Very random thought....

I am on my Windows computer so much for work that when I get off, I really just want to do something not on a computer. I realize that I now associate Windows with work and it doesn't feel like something fun or enjoyable. It doesn't feel personal to me.

I've been trying to figure out why lately I've had trouble with personal projects and perhaps this might be a small part of the answer.

5-7 years of software support doesn't mean anything if we can't keep the hardware running well for 7 years.
Glad to see iFixit didn't go quiet on this one.

I've been trying to highlight Samsung's scummy business practices for a couple years now, but when they can't even make a support contract work with iFixit, it's a REAL bad look.

Those seeking to normalise the use of OpenAI's tech in academia also need to be extremely aware of this - tech industry critics should be very cautious indeed in using the tool, and universities need to permit choice in who uses AI such as ChatGPT and how. https://x.com/jason_kint/status/1793877818520068158

C'est quand même du gros foutage de gueule le monde de la recherche d'emploi.

Tu postules.

Tu peux ne pas recevoir de réponse, ça arrive...souvent.

Tu peux recevoir une réponse négative, truc bateau : vous êtes vraiment formidable qu'on se demande pourquoi on vous prend pas...mais on vous prend pas quand même hein 😉

Le truc c'est que tu ne sais JAMAIS pourquoi on t'a refusé le job. Donc pour ton amélioration continue forcément, c'est pas top.

Coucou le fédiverse , je suis actuellement en formation TSSR (Technicienne Supérieure Système et Réseau) en et je suis à la recherche d’un stage de deux mois (non rémunéré) entre septembre et octobre (Paris/banlieue sud).

J’ai une appétence particulière pour les systèmes linux (je fais de l’admin sys à la maison), mais j’étudie aussi beaucoup windows, donc les deux m’intéressent.
Je cherche en priorité un stage où on toucherais au réseau histoire d’appliquer ce que j’ai appris en cours, mais si vous avez un plan pour du support je prends aussi.

Voilà, si votre entreprise à un DSI / si vous connaissez des gens, hésitez pas, ça m’aiderais grandement !

(Je donne le CV en mp)

Le boost est doux 💮 :boosts_ok:​

“Most people are not aware of the resource usage underlying ChatGPT,” Ren said. “If you’re not aware of the resource usage, then there’s no way that we can help conserve the resources.”

In July 2022, the month before OpenAI says it completed its training of GPT-4, Microsoft pumped in about 11.5 million gallons of water to its cluster of Iowa data centers, according to the West Des Moines Water Works. That amounted to about 6% of all the water used in the district, which also supplies drinking water to the city’s residents.
