So iRobot collapsed, the EU blocked sale to Amazon so now the rmains is bought by a Chiense company. A win? Elsewhere, I see Trump being blamed for this, TDS is not ending anytime soon.

A more repssing question is if the Chinese company will be able to access camera images from the Roomba vacuum cleaners. Media spends all their efforts on TDS but will not blame anything Chinese so I am searching for an answer elsewhere.
>>
>>107570112
If you let a company crawl through your home, map every corner of your life, all because you couldn't spare ten minutes a week with a vacuum… well… you get what you get. And you earned it.
>>
>>107570178
It takes a lot more than 10 minutes to vacuum my home. I am not too worried about US agencies knowing my floor plan, they have other and even more precise ways to obtain those. I am more worried about China and find it puzzling that media was able to go so deeply into TDS that they didn't cover this. Even the comments and fora relating to those articles are completely lost though here we can blame the wumao.

In any case, I use my Roomba in darkness. I can tell it struggles with the SLAM since it rarely finds its way back to the docing station, and then only by random.

Not a question but I am just angry. New CPUs apparently don't support real sleep anymore, they just go into "low power idle". Well the battery lasts for like 20+ hours that way so it's not the end of the world practically speaking for me, but the thing is since it doesn't shut down most components anymore, the fan keeps spinning even after the laptop is in "sleep mode" with the lid closed.
So then I regularly pick up the laptop after closing the lid while the fan is still spinning, swinging it around by holding it vertically to carry it for example. And now after barely a year and a half the fan is rattling.

>The forthcoming push for nudity-blocking systems was reported by the Financial Times today. The report said the UK won’t institute a legal requirement “for now.” But asking companies to block nude images could be the first step toward making it mandatory if the government doesn’t get what it wants.

>The Home Office “has initially focused on mobile devices,” but the push could be expanded to desktops, the FT said. Government officials point out that Microsoft can already scan for “inappropriate content” in Microsoft Teams, the report said.

Everyone, even us, makes a sound when they breathe; well, all but that man... that... creature of the night, doesn't. We can only trace him when he communicates, otherwise? Might as well not exist. The only logical explanation follows: he only breathes while speaking, and only then does he do so.

One must wonder, what techniques must he have developed, what training does he endure. Surely, that must cause him challenges and pain, a constant sacrifice.

Why does he avoid us, we've yet to determine, if we ever do that is. He appeared one day, no prior records, no previously recognized patterns, no connections, nothing.

How long must he have spent observing, learning, watching us watch him, in order to be able to understand what we are, and use that to burn all that he was, become someone new.

What causes, such animosity in a heart? Who was he? And what is it that we've done to him? What could it possibly be?

i never had to install anything and it never gave me trouble. it works wonderfully since i brought it!
but that make me think, is there any noticeable difference between vulkan and opengl for the final user? there it just says it uses a bit less cpu. hypothetically, if i brought a new amd card, would it use vulcan automatically? does that replace opengl completely?
>>
>>107570313
Vulkan is considered the modern successor to OpenGL, yes. There's still quite a lot of applications that use OpenGL (Firefox, for example) though. It's not going anywhere.

The problem with OpenGL was its poor standardisation which led to all sorts of proprietary vendor extensions. Vulkan is a lot more low-level and stricter on things like that.

It's the application that chooses the graphics API to use. Apps like Firefox have to specifically program against the OpenGL or Vulkan API and that will determine what they use.
