All good, I only saw it today too. What a headline though.

The one in Conception Bay? That was from 2023 otherwise it'd win.

In the gaming world, for example, MSI announced this year a monitor with a built-in NPU and the ability to quickly show League of Legends players when an enemy from outside of their field of view is arriving.

...So it just lets them cheat? I remember when monitor overlay crosshairs were controversial, this is insane to me.

If a consumer watches something on their Apple TV and then presses the pause button, a Roku TV set could use either audio or video-based content recognition technologies (known in the industry as ACR) to identify what’s being watched, match the current scene to a database and extract relevant information to pair an ad with it.

Wow somehow their idea is even worse than I imagined, glad I don't own a Roku now.

The fact that the hair looks almost identical to a girl I dated in High School who shaved her eyebrows at one point is just too perfect.

I enjoy that the character that can break a lot of things is called the "non-breaking space".

We all need a codeine cowboy now and again.

I've been watching Tom for years and now that this video is here it gives me a very bittersweet feeling, it'll be odd not having a new video from him on Mondays. But good on Tom for realizing what's important to him and putting it first, although I do hope that some day he is able to return to YouTube or media. And you never know, depending on how much time he takes off, maybe the next series will be "Tom Scott goes to space"!

I think it might still be too early to say for certain. It appears that a lot of the teams working on replication have pretty different outcomes and I think the theoretical studies have shown superconduction may be possible when a very specific structure forms, so maybe the formula just isn't perfected yet or it needs very specific conditions to form correctly. We'll know soon enough though, it's at the very least still an interesting material that deserves more looking into.

Next time I need to replace my laptop I'll be getting a Framework if possible. I hate having old electronics go to waste and my devices are usually still in very good condition, just the internals can't keep up, so this sort of laptop was made for me. Plus I love tinkering with electronics and some of those modules look interesting!

So wait, J&J have already put aside 9 billion dollars for potential liability for the talc baby powder cancer claims and have stopped selling talc baby powder in North America, but yet they are suing researchers who made the issue known and constantly parroting that they aren't admitting any wrongdoing. Nice.
