My parents fire tv has already been remotely disabled by Amazon. It loads, then the launcher goes online to download all the ads, crashes because too many, reboot, repeat, loop

That seller name is so easy to remember, almost if they wanted to be sure that USPTO wouldn’t reject it because already in use by someone else

Privacy? I’m sure that Google tried so hard to monetize it and after so many years they didn’t found a way, couldn’t use it for ai training too, so they decided to turn it off and save millions in database costs.

They still exfiltrate user movements for improving Google maps, it’s just that they don’t need to keep them indefinitely or for years or maintain a nice interface for that

It feeds from YouTube music so you’d be lucky if you can get the clean music version and not the videoclip version with gunshots, cars speeding and people talking over it

Wow that seems awesome!

I could finally purge windows from my htpc without my SO complaining about “what happened to this windows why it is weird, I’m hating it” even though I tried to give the windows look and feel to kde

First I install that on windows with taskbar hidden, then one day when the SO gets used to this launcher instead of explorer.exe, I could replace the os

I don’t want to be the asshole but 3 days of a super underpowered VM (it can be a oracle free tier for example) is a drop in the ocean compared to the $100/year/perpetuity that apple wants from devs

Main problem might be the content, as they might think that it’s going to be used for piracy

Maybe try to spin it as “Kevin macleod recommendation engine” by filling it with this content https://archive.org/details/incompetech-all-the-music-2020/page/n2/mode/1up

Guys, I found one other Microsoft claim that’s even more hilarious:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/windows/copilotplus-claims?tabs=amd

They say that:

1. Windows 11 PCs are faster than the MacBook air M4 (with the top of the line AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375, but only with cinebench. Because a fanless laptop like the MacBook air is perfect for run cinebench the whole day, I’m sure it won’t throttle)

2. They’re also faster than the MacBook air M3 (of course, if they were faster than M4…) of course still only with cinebench

3. And they’re faster than the MacBook air M2. Of course only with cinebench. I’m sure it’s only a coincidence that they are choosing a heavy benchmark for a fanless laptop instead of a MBP with better airflow. What’s next, comparing the result of multicore cinebench on a MacBook air wrapped in cellophane, inside a car parked in the Texan summer?

4. And that when running cinebench multicore, it’s FIVE TIMES FASTER than what you gonna get with a windows 10 PC!!! This claim was so hilarious that I had to find that test from that “reputable” third party and in the PDF they’re comparing a Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 with a ThinkPad E590 Intel Core i5-8265U. Of course the Ryzen is faster in multicore benchmark, it has 20 threads vs only 8… I don’t understand why they settled on a simple Ryzen AI 9 365. Why not comparing the 8th gen i5 U series with a threadripper pro 9995x in multicore cinebench? In this way they could claim “it’s HUNDRED TIMES FASTER!!!11!”

5. And the newest copilot+ windows 11 PCs are FOUR TIMES faster in 3D gaming (the catch: only in 3d mark and only if comparing with laptops with integrated graphics)

The difference in performance from a Intel 11th gen and Intel 12th gen, with the same amount of memory and the CPU in the same class, is not measurable in daily life. The average for w10 devices is skewed to the bottom, and it’s also a comparison that doesn’t make sense. Of course a computer from ten years ago is slower. I would be surprised if it wouldn’t be like that.

They wanted to do a comparison like Apple “M1 is 4x faster than our previous Intel laptop” but at least apple says which exact benchmark uses and it’s directly compared to the previous model on sale, not a random one from a decade ago (although Apple always chooses some useless benchmark like calculating integers or other stuff that has absolutely no impact in real life but has a higher result).

Here Microsoft says “Web browsing is up to 3.2x faster” but we all know that RAM heavily influences web browsing. How much memory the chosen sample has? They don’t say it and I suspect they’re comparing 4/8gb devices vs 16/32gb devices

Same for “Ms office is up to 2x times faster” but we all know that the difference is invisible in real use. Probably the w10 sample have sata HDDs (especially that i3-6100) while the w11 sample they all have nvme pcie gen 4 x4 drives so of course they load Microsoft word much faster.

Ah really? I thought they did a universal client

Never tried but ccmaker is old and not working for recent versions

And portable is probably using a cracked version of vmware thinstall behind the scenes, which is from the days of windows 7

Try with monkrus or genp

Or click on “I don’t have a product key” during install

Btw gaming in a VM, unless it’s a extremely old game (30+ years ago), or you have a second, dedicated GPU that you can passthrough, it’s going to give disappointing results

Ah, they sold the landlord special 😞

I watched a hai video about the topic and there are some low flow toiles capable of flushing 2 pounds of poo in one flush, maybe who sold your unit didn’t know (or pretended to don’t know) that there’s a poo flushing power for each model, sold you a bad one
