This is why we should be skeptical of Altman’s push for more international AI and data regulation. It’s not about keeping the technology in check—it’s about making it harder for startups to compete by forcing them through hurdles that established companies never had to face. For example, if new laws prevented data scraping for AI training, it would only hurt new models, while existing ones would keep their advantage. While I wish stronger protections had been in place from the start, our best bet now is to encourage a diverse AI ecosystem, ensuring no single company dominates the space.

Lost my old handheld, is Steamdeck oled worth it?
stainedmonster replied to Carlmase's topic in Steam Deck
If you liked the original, the oled is basically Steam Deck++. At the same time, the Lenovo Legion Go is also quite compelling, with various pros and cons compared to the SD. If any of the windows exclusive games (those that don’t work with proton) are important to you, it’s a good option to consider. You could install Windows on the SD too, but personally I’d rather get a device that comes with it out of the box. -
Yo, I’ve been looking at JBL soundbars. Got any recommendations?

They didn’t outright say the watch sizes if the screens are going to be bigger, which I found odd. Will they remain 41mm and 45mm case sizes and just get rid of the bezels for more screen real estate or what? I’m hoping they keep the 41mm because my wrists are too small for anything else 😭

Meta is apparently now trying to fix that the products don't work particularly well in moving vehicles with a new Travel Mode on the Quest 2 and Quest 3.. Anyone know any more about this as I'm desperate to use my headset as a mini theatre on my next long haul flight coming up very soon..

Best screen protector for samsung s22?

The Pixel Watch 2 feels like everything I wanted the first version to be. It has more health sensors (I'm a massive gym tracker), a faster new processor and slightly longer battery life. While the first Pixel Watch can take an ECG and alert you if your heart rate is too high or low, it can't notify you if it detects an irregular heart rhythm. That could be critical for those interested in a smartwatch primarily for cardiac health (which sounds like you are). I personally would spend the extra and go for the Pixel 2.

Finally ditching the paperbacks for an E-reader (I know I'm late to the party).. Just want to hear people's thoughts on which brand of e-reader is best, kindle or kobo??

So I've been thinking about getting the Apple Vision Pro, however, the price is putting me off massively. Have just seen this article saying that Apple are reportedly ’accelerating’ entry-level Vision Pro and it could cost $2,000 less!! Does anyone know if this is true as I would definitely wait and buy this one instead. There is also the fact that it won't be able to do everything the more expensive Vision can.. What do you think it will be missing?

Are DJI Mini drones now non-compliant for commercial use? Anyone know the rules??
-
Anyone own either of these and can tell me what the difference between the two is?
-
Anyone used this headset? How do you think it will compare to the Apple Vision Pro?

I'm considering buying the Apple Vision pro- However I'm worried I'll quickly get tired of wearing a computer on my face, the device will end up in the closet. It's expensive so I want to know I'll make good use of it. I've also read that software developers lose interest in making apps for these devices.. what do people intend to use the Apple Vision pro for day to day or is it just something you'll use once a week?

Wondering which tablet to get? Does it matter whether you have a Samsung or iphone?
-
Apparently Apple have said some medical conditions mean you shouldn't use this device.. Does anyone know which conditions they are talking about?

Rumours circulating that Pico headsets were on the outs? anyone know if this is true
-
Which one would people recommend?

Rumours have continued to suggest that Sony is gearing up to release a more powerful iteration of the PS5 in 2024 that will be dubbed the PS5 Pro. Anyone heard any specifics tied to the PS5 Pro??
-
Anyone know if there are any other differences between the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro other than the size? Not sure which one to invest in..

Apparently the XPS lineup is getting a major shakeup after being a little stale the past couple of years, with the introduction of the XPS 14 and XPS 16. Anyone know anything more? Definitely looking to upgrade.

So the 'travel' feature lets you escape to where ever you want? Sounds pretty good. Think you'll actually use this feature though? https://me.mashable.com/tech/35346/apple-vision-pro-this-travel-feature-lets-you-escape-your-chaotic-life
