Guess I’ll be contacting my MEPs, and looking into which MEPs support and oppose this plan.
Though I am glad to see my country at least has stated it finds the proposal unacceptable.

Be sure to make regular backups of your data.
… and using RAID is not a backup.

Thanks for adding the link to the article, but it might be more convenient if you also add the link to the post description.
Currently this comment is showing up at the bottom of the thread for me.

That’s fair. I do miss the good ol’ HTC days.
I’m on the Google Nexus/Pixel train now though

Thanks for updating the title so people don’t misinterpret it as happening recently

This is an article from 2018.
Not sure why OP posted this

I mostly agree with this distinction.

However, if you are at the receiving end of a mistake made my either a classic algorithm or an machine learning algorithm, then you probably won’t care whether it was the computer or the programmer making the mistake. In the end the result is the same.

“Computers make mistakes” is just a way of saying that you shouldn’t blindly trust whatever output the computer spits out.

If consuming media with integer scaling is the main concern, then 120Hz would be better than 144Hz, because it can be divided by 5 to make 24Hz (for movies) and divided by 2 or 4 to make 30/60Hz (for TV shows).

144Hz only cleanly divides into 24Hz by dividing it by 6. In order to get to 60Hz you need to divide by 2.4, which is not an integer.

And with either refresh rate 25/50Hz PAL content is still not dividable by a nice round integer value

It’s odd to me that there are places that would consider that piracy

In my country (the Netherlands), to my knowledge, you have the right to do whatever you like with your copy of a movie as long as you don’t distribute it.
That includes ripping it, and putting the mkv on your personal server. That is precisely what the home-copy tax is for afterall…

Short answer: It’s because of binary.
Computers are very good at calculating with powers of two, and because of that a lot of computer concepts use powers of two to make calculations easier.

1024 = 2¹⁰

Edit: Oops… It’s 2¹⁰, not 2⁷
Sorry y’all… 😅

Great that it seems to work for you, but I’ve been experiencing this bug for months now if not longer.
I made the changes OP suggested, and now it seems to work correctly.

The problem is not that it gives a download prompt, but rather that it tosses the PDF file into your downloads folder unrequested.
It opens the PDF in the internal PDF viewer as well, but that is not the thing people are having issues with.

I don’t know whether they fixed it since, but last I checked that option was broken.
No matter what you select, half the time it still downloads the PDF to your drive.

I can mostly find myself agreeing (or at least not having big issues with) with all of the points, except for that one.
Let’s just hope they mean requiring a best effort, rather than outright preventing it in the first place.

Since the article doesn’t actually say what the rules and regulations are, here is a link:

https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/headlines/society/20230601STO93804/eu-ai-act-first-regulation-on-artificial-intelligence

I’m not a lawyer, but I don’t think that retroactively applies to things that happened before the ToS got updated.

So 23andMe would still be open to lawsuits for the previous breach

Could we add holiday logos for the Dutch (and Belgian) holidays of Sinterklaas (December 5th and 6th), and perhaps Kings Day? (April 27th)

If I have some direction on the style I could perhaps Photoshop something together :)

Edit: Carnaval would be fun too, but that one might be tricky because it falls on a different day every year (and is also not consistent between countries, I don’t think…)

As someone who works in the tech industry and has used AI tools (or more accurately machine learning models), I do think it is overrated.
That doesn’t mean that I don’t think it can be useful, just that it’s not going to live up to the immense hype surrounding it right now.

Por que no los dos?

Just wait till Musk learns about banking regulations.
He’s already complaining about the EU regulations on social media, but they nothing compared to what banks have to deal with.

In other words, the price of the Pixel 8 Pro will be higher in order to include a smart watch that you may or may not even want
