    Not sure if this is related to the new version, but when I tried to share an article from Engadget, the title appeared in the URL section ahead of the actual URL, so it wouldn't let me share it until it was removed.

    https://www.engadget.com/ar-vr/civilization-7-is-coming-to-meta-quest-3-and-3s-this-spring-221250061.html

    This happened when I tried to share from the article's share button, sharing from the browser seemed to be just fine. Looks like a weird edge case?

    That’s not a defense if the company was in the know and the employees were raising alarm bells. Especially if they would like to continue having the LLM ingest massive amounts of content and don’t want to untangle or start from scratch on fair use training data.

    I guess illegally downloading media to transform them without rightsholder consent into an infinity scalable for-profit venture is totally cool and "fair use" now, says Meta in their official defense.

    I would like to take this opportunity to officially announce "MooCatalog," a pay as you go subscription service in which a number of popular television shows, games, and movies are available for me to experience through undisclosed downloading practices, and I'll play the role of an LLM ingesting the content and giving you a summary of my experience with it. I forsee no issues with this business model and look forward to our launch in the coming months.

    I think that's system level, I still have the classic three button setup, and that's sort of floating over text when I view this app. It doesn't make that big a difference to me, and I wouldn't have noticed it if it wasn't the headline feature.

    Not that many Canadian auto companies to worry about, afaik. The story may be different for auto parts or raw materials, as there are a couple factories up North and determining who pays who for what could be an issue, but way more American branded cars sold in Canada than the other way around. Now the Chinese tarrifs could be an issue as there a lot of business deals and partnerships that would get strained as if we don't buy their stuff, they won't buy our stuff. And if Trump decides to go after other countries just cause, those issues would start to compound.

    Edit: I never really answered you on opportunities, but the company that I work with had a major downsize after series of downsizes in preparation for an acquisition. If there are more people brought in, it would probably be entry level warm bodies to get operations running rather than the software engineers and mechanical technicians that were cut. I'll leave it up to the reader on if that's a good thing.

    TikTok app on the Epic Game Store? It would be pretty ballsy, but Epic kind of has a reputation for doing what they want.

    No, I think it’s relevant that the app is not available in the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store in the US so now the official method of distribution is to sideload it or to pin a progressive web app to your home screen in iOS.

    No doubt easier to do it the other way around making the framework board into a handheld case. But it also may be worth looking into a laptop dock for the Steam Deck if you want to use it with that form factor?

    On one hand, $400 is a lot for a laptop shaped case, but being able to reuse it for an entire architecture like that is a really neat trick.
