Google trekt de stekker uit Google Assistant op Android en Wear OS. De digitale assistent voor mobiele apparaten en smartwatches verdwijnt vanaf 4 september. In plaats van Google Assistant krijgen gebruikers de AI-assistent Gemini, als hun apparaten voldoen aan de vereisten.

Yep, verplicht sinds zondag 2 augustus: tweakers.net/reviews/1510...

So interesting 💭 "Relighting 'Nighthawks' - bit.studio reimagines Edward Hopper's classic artwork, turning the most crucial element, the 'light,' into something you can actually control!" The exhibit is held at the bit.studio gallery on the 3rd floor, Slowcombo building in Samyan, Bangkok. #art

The day that Ray Bradbury died I was on book tour and that night I read "There Will Come Soft Rains" to my audience instead of the usual reading.

The richest person in the world, an avowed white supremacist, today again posted "the next step is getting rid of 'source code' entirely and just making an efficient binary directly with AI" because he has no idea how anything works, not even the basics of industries he is in.

Je kunt je ondertussen afvragen of er nog iets is waar DOOM niet in of op draait. Van DNS-records tot de gekste apparaten: alles is wel langs geweest. Toch heeft een ontwikkelaar weer een nieuwe plek gevonden voor de game: Microsoft Paint.

I bought a bunch of zip disks at the electronics flea because it came in a cool organizer. Turns out it was someone's porn collection and their email backup so I knew who's porn collection 🫠

The original SCSI models have the foam and are much more likely to be able to pull data off damaged disks. This is from the data recovery guy at VCF so maybe he can help?

It was only *sometimes* contagious, which certainly helped fuel the confusion. The lengthiest account I know of is the one at GRC. He is a storyteller. www.grc.com/tip/codfaq1....

And the fact that a damaged disk inserted into a different drive could fuck up the other drive. So in an environment with more than one drive it was effectively a super spreader event.

TIL the iomega Zip Drive 'click of death' is due to value engineering out an 85 cent long lead time piece of foam that helped prevent the read/write head from crashing into the disk. It was contagious because a damaged disk inserted into another drive could damage the head on the second drive
