My question is how is an AI reading a bunch of articles any different from a human doing it. With this logic no one would legally be able to write an article as they are using bits of other peoples work they read that they learnt to write a good article with.

They are both making money with parts of other peoples work.

Honesty that's a really bad time to launch as most people will still be broke from Christmas.

Though it could be a plan to make it even more of a status symbol, so more people will budget or take out loans to get one.

Honesty though I don't think they will become a massive part of anyone's daily lives anytime soon. As imagine the theft of these things if people started wearing them in public, and sure they can put all the anti theft stuff into it they want, but that hasn't effected phone theft much.

But my big thing is what does it offer me I can't already do with my phone. The reason the smartphone was such a hit is it made so many things into one device and it is cheaper then getting all of those devices, and there is a genuine improvement in out and about life with one.

With a headset I don't really see what it does that I can't already do easily at home. I have a laptop and a TV and both of those are cheaper. There is the gaming aspect, but no killer titles in that space. And I do worry about the negative mental health effects of such a device.

So I wouldn't be surprised if this is a flop and this kind of tech only gets usage in specialist applications.

It's not purely talent that allows them to make this kind of stuff. Otherwise people outside of these agencies would be making this stuff too. It's also the fact the CIA or any of the others can go to apple for example and get all of the information on how these chips are made and the firmware on them, then put the company under a gag order.

It is silly to assume the governments hackers are any better then a good hacker that doesn't work for them. And you need to realise that their advantages come from legal power, resources, and lesser regulations on research.

Because a lot of silly conspiracy theories seem to stem from people believing that the government are somehow superior beings, when the only thing that makes them different from anyone else is power.

If you want something that's under £100 and don't mind Bluetooth check out the soundcore life Q30s.

Honesty the first time I tried them I though they cost double what they actually do, and they've been my daily driver since.

For some reference I also have some audio technica ATH-M50Xs, but I find these more musical and they have ANC so I daily drive these and use my M50Xs for critical listening when needed( I've added that just so you know that I know what decent audio sounds like and don't think that cheap beats knockoffs are good).

The problem with that is the same I've had trying to update an old MacBook my mother uses.

The patching tools work most of the time, but especially with Windows what happens when there is an update forced on you that breaks everything and you have to wait a few days and reinstall the whole OS again.

Most people don't want that insecurity. And don't tell me if it catches on in the slightest that Microsoft won't do everything they can to break the patches.

Just look what John Deere did when people made 3rd party GPS devices for their farm equipment.

As much as I hate to say it for people who won't use Linux isn't there that version of chrome OS you can run on a normal x86 laptop. That's a lot better then making a ton of landfill ( and it pains me to say that because I really hate Chromebooks, but that's better then wasting tons of perfectly good computers).

Wouldn't you want to just want to type q! As you've probably opened it and accidentally made changes you didn't want to. So you wouldn't want to save the config file. Or the text file you just created.

Wow more articles raising awareness of an issue your dead Grandma already knows about.

Because that's a lot easier then doing anything about it, and anything that claims to do anything about it is a bill full of other agendas that barely addresses the problem.

If you want to talk about underrated look into POWER CPUs.

Motherboards like the tallos 2 are completely open source( except for an nvme storage controller) and they already offer x86_64 levels of performance. The only con right now is software support and the cost.

Apparently it can also read any decryption keys read by the cpu.
