As I understand it, it’s just as they said:

Calculating primes is fairly straightforward so you calculate a few large prime numbers, and do some math to them.

Now you have a strong key that didn’t require a supercomputer to create but taking that final number and turning it back into those original primes is a much more computationally expensive proposition.

In fact, it’s one that’s not viable with current technology.

Why not both?

Yeah if he thinks he has it so bad send him over to a prison in the southern US for a bit, bet he’ll be missing his “inhumane treatment” back home

Judging by the amount of their nonsense posted on Lemmy, I imagine programmers sitting around all day creating memes about how hard their job is.

Programmers are just like the rest of us!

It’s a Reddit tradition!

Here’s an article that mentions it

As a rule of thumb, most adapters with a female USB-C socket on them are non-compliant.

You can also look at the USB spec yourself

USB Type-C receptacle to USB legacy adapters are explicitly not defined or allowed. Such adapters would allow many invalid and potentially unsafe cable connections to be constructed by users.

FYI essentially all adapters with a usb-c female connector are non-compliant.

When people talk about USB-C potentially damaging devices, it is because of non-compliant adapters, chargers, cables, etc.

So just keep in mind that while the risk may be minimal depending on your use-case, these adapters can be dangerous and risk damaging your devices.

Listen if past me couldn’t keep up that’s on them.

We’re all probably better for it.

I’m way cooler than that guy.

The US is a lot bigger and more spread out than most Europeans seen to imagine

My local grocery store takes batteries and light bulbs and a few other electronics/etc for recycling. May just be a local thing though

I am if you have any questions

I LOVE searxng!

I will never go back to any basic old search engine again.

A modern Pixel phone could probably run the AI models locally but they would likely be more limited and it wouldn’t be particularly battery-friendly.

An old iPod touch wouldn’t be able to so I think it’s safe to assume those functions were happening on Apple’s servers.

In fact I would be confident claiming that no mobile devices are currently running these models locally, whether you are using Google, Apple, or some other photo app.

Like I said, it may be possible for some modern devices with TPU chips to run them locally but that is not happening currently and would probably not be as good as experience if they were

This is exactly why I was motivated to start using Immich instead. Using any of these corporate services you are giving away your privacy for convenience.

No, this stuff actually requires somewhat heavy ML processing that most phones probably couldn’t do locally.

I think many people don’t consider or overlook the fact that by “necessity” we allow companies like Google/Apple/Facebook full access to our photo libraries for the convenience of these features.

If you have the technical skill to I highly recommend trying out immich. It has all those features you are looking for: face matching, memories, photo maps, object recognition, etc. but those models are run locally (on your self-hosted server) instead of depending on Google/etc so your privacy is protected.

I’ve been using Linux for a long time on various other systems but what caused me to finally ditch Windows completely on my daily driver was:

A nonconsensual Windows Update which caused my bitlocker encryption to become corrupted and I lost everything on that disk.

This unscheduled reformat combined with all the other shady practices on Windows lately cemented my choice.

It’s been several months now and I couldn’t be happier!

The quality of gaming on Linux has advanced an incredible amount in the last year or so since I’ve tried it. Most of my games will either run natively or require a few extra clicks to use proton in steam. A few outliers that aren’t on steam required Lutris.

On average I find the performance in games is better on Linux, even for non-native games using proton/wine.

Definitely would recommend giving it a shot if you are on the fence. Particularly if you’ve tried gaming in the past and were disappointed.

It doesn’t have to be, it can be configured in KDE.

You can have it in last-used order and have it separate Monica’s/unminimized windows too.

Yes I love it!

I can use the same wall plug or portable battery for my laptop, phone, and soldering iron, and it has a bunch of nice qol features.

There’s an accelerometer built-in so it can detect when you put down/pick up the iron for sleeping the heater and also for orienting the display. The new version also has Bluetooth so you can monitor/control the iron from your phone/PC.

The heating element is in the tip so you are less likely to burn your fingers and it’s also far more efficient so it’s able to heat up very quickly and handle large pads for its size.

It can draw up to 85W through a barrel jack or USB-PD.

I paid $25 for it and have gotten a ton of use out of it.

I put away my expensive soldering iron and use this one exclusively now because it’s just more convenient to use.

I would definitely recommend it for new or experienced users, it’s a great value for the price.
