This looks like a fake TV station they’d have in a movie or something. Especially the logo…
If I had a nickel for each time a major company changed their logo from a recognizable bird to something completely generic, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it’s happened twice
No, it’s expensive to comply (at a massive scale), but easy to avoid. Just change the user agent. There’s even a dedicated extension for bypassing Anubis.
Even then AI servers have plenty of compute, it realistically doesn’t cost much. Maybe like a thousandth of a cent per solve? They’re spending billions on GPU power, they don’t care.
I’ve been saying this since day 1 of Anubis but nobody wants to hear it.
And when GPT-5 stops doing this, all of a sudden it’s a bug and they want 4o back.
I think if I smacked someone with the pan it would cause a significant amount of harm
up to 1000x energy consumption efficiency in these workloads
Seems like a win to me
Given the difference in server CPU/memory/storage/network/scale, I don’t think it’s possible to get any number with confidence. Maybe you could self host, but that wouldn’t be representative of real email servers. Plus different email providers handle emails differently.
And cloud providers probably automatically scale with load, Gmail probably uses more power during work hours than after.
Also SSR is relatively new and email services are ancient, I’d be surprised if any used it. I’m not even sure if it’s a good idea for email.
Plus it would probably vary with how many emails you have in your inbox…
I just don’t think it’s possible to get an actual number.
Networking is remarkably efficient, and so is decoding images, because processors do it so quickly. For more intensive tasks like video, hardware decoders make them efficient. All email is to the client computer is making a request for data, processing that into a list that can be displayed, and displaying it. I’m pretty sure just having the screen on is orders of magnitude more power hungry.
The FDA would probably also like to have a word.
Well, would you rather them NOT tell you it is AI? I don’t think it’s bragging, it’s disclosure
A good example were those Apple AI ads. So cringe. Google’s ads aren’t much better but at least Gemini works.
The point they’re trying to make is that while Apple location collects anonymized data, the app itself could collect that data and send it off with a unique identifier. Like Strava except it’s spyware. It has location and internet permissions, and the App Store data privacy thing is self reported and not necessarily factual. We can’t know unless we dissect the app because it’s not open source. Right now it seems they’re not doing that, but nothing is stopping them.
Android’s Fused Location Provider, even though it’s provided by Google Play Services, works in the same way and is just as private as Apple’s location API. They are both on device with anonymized data sent back. So IDK what the devs are talking about. But I am interested in their blog post.
Fused Location Provider data sent to Google is anonymized with a temporary device id anyway. They also can’t tell if you needed location for this, maps, or Pokémon Go. But they do sometimes collect GPS, WiFi, and cell data. Not using it is more private but I don’t think it’s worth worrying about.
Disable automatic updates in Gnome Software them do them manually via dnf.
No, they really have laws like that.
Actually, we call it the North Pole because we already had a concept of North from the North Star. Then we invented magnets and decided that the part that points North is the North side of a magnet (despite North Pole being magnetic south).
Wow holy shit. So if you get submerged it’s just straight up a death sentence. Just when you think they can’t get worse…
It’s probably easier to get one of those ceramic window breakers and get out that way. I’m pretty sure the rip cords are actually quite hard to pull.
“How do you read a file?” “Cat, more or less.” ba dum tss
Not only that, but they make a LOT of libraries that make using those sensors WAY easier. Arduino, CircuitPython, and more. And lots of well-written tutorials! They care, and it shows. They don’t deserve these tariffs…
It’s biodegradable in an industrial composter, and degrades in sunlight. Sure it’s not perfect, but compared to everything else its impact is minimal.
