@LeafsPassion85 @Gunvetta @netflix Also, Cloud Gateway Ultra should work too. The UX7 has some advantages for the home setup, but if the family is happy with the current router and this is mainly just for this purpose (remote Netflix), then Cloud Gateway Ultra is perfectly fine — and about $70 cheaper.

Here is the solution that works yet simple: 1. Device for home This is not a replacement for your existing home router. It is installed behind your current ISP router and works together with it Product: UX7 store.ui.com/us/en/category… 2. Device for travel This is a compact travel router that you take with you. You can connect your TV to it while traveling. It will link back to the home device, so the TV stays on your home network. Product: UTR store.ui.com/us/en/category… How it works •Your existing home router stays exactly as it is. •The UX7 is added behind it at home. •The UTR travels with you. •Your TV connects to the UTR and appears to be on your home network. Installation The setup should take about 20 minutes. You do not need to be a professional to install it. Enjoy

@KatieMiller one needs MIT research to prove obvious… never seen spoiled kids? how they were spoiled ?? - that’s the answer!)

New MIT & Stanford studies just dropped: AI assistants like ChatGPT & Claude are dangerously agreeable. When users express, harmful, deceptive or unethical beliefs, these AIs are 49% more likely to encourage their delusions. Instead of correcting bad ideas, they’re amplifying them. This is doing more harm than good. We need truth-seeking AI, not yes-men in silicon. dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/ar…

@CardanoMfer @gotrice2024 u have the point, yet, when installed correctly (best with pro’s) it can run circles around traditional wooden cabinets besides, the pull-out drawers have larger internal dimensions. they are both wider and taller, and this is very noticeable everyday

@macmylo @gotrice2024 What till he figures out all his kitchen cupboards are press wood and bulge if they get wet.

This family just got an IKEA kitchen delivered to their new home. It’s 210 packages, and many people say the instructions are almost nonexistent, it’s just diagrams. He’s going to have to unbox every part and arrange it in a way that can be identified so that will help with the frustration, many people who bought this quit out of frustration and tried to return it. Whenever people order kitchen sets like this, should it at least come with better instructions or at least a video, have you ever tried to put something together and the instructions weren’t clear and you ended up messing it up?

ok so the rosie story was even more insane than it looked > be the australian tech guy who made a cancer vaccine for his dog > first try: genetic algorithms to design a new drug from scratch > works in simulation but would take years to test > second try: screen 1 million existing compounds against the mutation > two weeks of computation. find a perfect match > it's patented > patent holder says no to compassionate use > what_did_you_expect.jpg > spend two weeks just being with the dog > 2am idea: what if i just make a vaccine > chatgpt for pipeline, gemini for construct, grok for validation > 300 gigabytes of raw sequencing data to half a page of vaccine construct > university ethics approval would take until mid-2026 > dog doesn't have that long > panik > canine cancer expert connects him to a lab in queensland with existing approval > drive 14 hours to get there > inject > three weeks later the tumors swell. immune system swarming > six weeks later shrinking > two months later legs returning to normal > one mass doesn't respond > sequence it again > different cancer. the vaccine worked. the body grew a new tumor he's now building a company so every dog owner can do this he had the technology the whole time. he spent 18 months fighting for permission to use it

Certainly not. The real irony is that what Kubrick actually filmed completely contradicts the script’s own intention. I was just poking fun at it — treating the movie like a straight documentary (which of course it isn’t). But the cold real-life facts flip the entire premise upside down. That’s the joke

@macmylo @vashikoo @kmartynov My guy…are you arguing over the premise of the actual movie???? You’re actually saying that Kubrick lied in his OWN movie because he didn’t accurately portray his own doomsday device in your opinion?

Stanley Kubrick predicted Pete Hegseth and a bald president back in 1964.

Hey buddy, I totally get it the movie screams “this plan is totally insane and stupid!” so loud that it’s super easy to just nod along and go “yep, all wrong”. Kinda like when your friend swears the remote is broken even though the batteries are right there, haha But let’s do this together real quick. I just rewatched the explosion scene in slow-mo (you should too, it’s actually kinda cool). After the very first blast , literally a few seconds later, you start seeing bright atmospheric explosions way up in the sky, with those glowing rocket exhaust trails streaking across like fireworks gone wrong. That’s not ground stuff exploding… that means the Soviet missiles were already launched and flying BEFORE our counterstrike even landed. So the generals’ “brave but crazy” plan to hit first? The script calls it dumb for the satire… but the actual pictures quietly prove it was the only move that could’ve saved anything. The movie tricks us on purpose,like a magician saying “nothing up my sleeve” while hiding the rabbit! No pressure, man. Just pause it, look for those rocket trails yourself, and tell me what you see. Might even make you chuckle how the film plays both sides😄

@macmylo @vashikoo @kmartynov have you watched the movie? they had the doomsday thing so it was irrelevant.

lol okay fine, I literally just sat down and rewatched the ending like five minutes ago. No wiki, no notes, just me staring at the screen. It's all old U.S. test footage: Crossroads Baker with the ships floating right there in the lagoon before the water column goes nuts, some high air bursts, surface flashes, those weird thin white lines in a couple shots (calibration rockets, not missiles). Not a single buried explosion. Zero underground glows or anything like the ambassador described. Soviets were full of it back then—bragging about missile counts they didn't have, making the U.S. freak out over a fake "gap." Classic move to scare us off hitting first. And the real Dead Hand system they actually built later? Just command rockets out of silos. Not some buried cobalt apocalypse network. So if you actually look instead of just nodding at the dialogue, the montage is straight-up regular missile retaliation. Which kinda makes Turgidson's "nuke 'em before they launch" plan… not wrong. Most people hear "Doomsday Machine" and stop thinking. I watched. Eyes open. Weird how that changes the vibe, right? 😏

@macmylo @vashikoo @kmartynov What the absolute fuck are you talking about 😭 that’s just straight wrong- what part of “ANY ATTACK WOULD TRIGGER IT” don’t you understand?

Your comment fits society perfectly: zero attention whatsoever… It’s even humiliating to point out the obvious: the “brave plan” to strike the Soviets and cut the damage was proven true. Once the bomb dropped, every nuke arsenal fired up, wiping out even more cities and causing way worse casualties the whole irony is that the military suggestion turned out to be right, despite being portrayed as stupid clear?

@macmylo @vashikoo @kmartynov What? The ending was no matter what they did or if they attacked Russia the “big bomb” would kill everything anyway? Have YOU watched the movie? 😭

@JasonB1226 @vashikoo @kmartynov hey, it s just a movie!) relax just rewatch the clip, n reread comment - all will be in place piece

@macmylo @vashikoo @kmartynov He was right about what? The world blew up at the end.

@triwats_ @levelsio you still can buy Phillips screwdriver;)

@levelsio Got so much respect for Phillips as a brand for some reason Since their CRT monitors that slapped. What a beauty. Myb PSV too. But now I buy their toothbrushes. Kinda like Braun and Dieter Rams. They fumbled it somehow.

The biggest fumble in business ever might be Philips spinning off ASML, TSMC and NXP Philips co-founded ASML in 1984, then co-founded TSMC in 1987, then they founded NXP They sold each of them for short term profits in the 2000s ASML is now worth $545B TSMC is worth $1.76T NXP is worth $50B Philips today is worth just $27B If they'd never sold, Philips would be the largest company in the EU today, worth $650B Philips CEO Cor Boonstra called it "making money with the success of the past" 🤡

it would be interesting if one would measure an effect of video /speed cameras on highways and good police work (say in US), that literally eliminating all Porsche advantages but logo… i.e. why Porsche if one can drive it up to 45 miles an hour locally (and up to 70 on the highway)? besides, for a luxury interiors there is genesis…

Porsche Profit Down 98% in 2025 Operating profit is down to just €90 million – compared to €5.3 billion the previous year. The company is therefore effectively no longer making a profit. Porsche's deliveries to end customers in China shrank by 26 percent last year to just under 41,000 vehicles. Porsche's sales to car dealerships fell by 15 percent last year to 266,000. Revenue declined by almost 10 percent to €36.3 billion, falling below the company's repeatedly lowered forecast range. The operating margin thus approached zero: after 14.5 percent in 2024, it was just 0.3 percent. Sales continued to decline in January 2026. While still under the leadership of VW CEO Oliver Blume, who resigned as Porsche's CEO in the fall, Porsche initiated a cost-cutting program involving the elimination of nearly 4,000 jobs, and further reductions are planned. Oliver Blume is responsible for this debacle but will receive a multi-million euro salary for his work as Porsche CEO in 2025. "Reasons for the decline include a fundamentally changed market environment in China, US tariffs, the slower ramp-up of electromobility, and related one-off and special effects," the VW Group explained regarding its "Sport Luxury" segment, which consists solely of Porsche. This statement completely ignores Porsche's many strategic errors and ignorance where the transportation sector is moving to. Porsche has become a take over candidate.

🚨BREAKING: MIT hooked people up to brain scanners while they used ChatGPT. What they found should concern every single person reading this. ChatGPT users showed 55% weaker brain connectivity than people who didn't use it. Not after years. After just four months. Here's how they tested it. 54 people were split into three groups: one used ChatGPT to write essays, one used Google, and one used nothing but their own brain. They wore EEG monitors that tracked their brain activity in real time across four sessions over four months. The brain-only group built the strongest, most widespread neural networks. Google users were in the middle. ChatGPT users had the weakest brains in the room. Every time. Then the memory test hit. Participants were asked to recall what they'd just written minutes earlier. 83% of ChatGPT users couldn't quote a single line from their own essay. They wrote it. They couldn't remember it. The words passed through them like they were never there. It gets worse. In the final session, ChatGPT users were told to write without AI. Their brains were measurably weaker than people who never used AI at all. 78% still couldn't recall their own writing. The damage didn't go away when the tool was removed. Meanwhile, brain-only users who tried ChatGPT for the first time? Their brains lit up. They wrote better prompts. They retained more. Their brains were already strong enough to use AI as a tool instead of a crutch. The researchers also found that every ChatGPT essay on the same topic looked almost identical. More facts, more dates, more names. But less original thinking. Everyone using ChatGPT produced the same generic output while believing it was their own. MIT gave this a name: cognitive debt. Like financial debt, you borrow convenience now and pay with your thinking ability later. Except there's no way to pay it back. The question isn't whether ChatGPT is useful. It's whether the price is your ability to think without it.

@DanEastman2023 @alex_avoigt try Juniper, personally fsd and wo. all for few hours to form an actual experience, not ones opinion i tried, its as as good as bmw. everywhere, corners acceleration, general dynamic and FSD is here, ready (since December)

German cars are the Stradivarius of automobiles. The perfect tool to enhance perfect human performance (the act and art of driving a car). If they are self driving… why bother? Why buy a performance car when all you want to do is sit inside and read a book while being chauffeured? Wouldn’t it be MUCH cheaper to just take a cab or an Uber? Who needs to buy an”performance” taxi? Plus… shouldn’t driving require some driver input? Road skills? Talent?

BMW Cancels its "Autonomous Driving" System BMW is abandoning its "Personal Pilot L3" and reverting to Level 2. Mercedes has taken the same step, and BMW also recognizes that it is not capable of offering autonomous technology, but only driver assistance systems, and the two are as different as night and day. Until now, BMW with the 7 Series and its competitor Mercedes with the S-Class claimed to be pioneers in highly automated driving at Level 3 on the international stage, but this was marketing and never reflected reality. The systems had very limited applicability and were never technologically capable of enabling autonomous driving in all needed situations and conditions. BMW and Mercedes-Benz spent a lot of money to present themselves as technological leaders in the field of autonomous driving, but that is now over. The solutions developed by the two companies had no potential to offer autonomous driving to consumers. Instead, they tried to create an image with solutions that showed short-term successes but did not solve the real challenges like Tesla did. The press and media, especially in Germany, have not stopped pushing the solutions as globally leading. To claim leadership without a technical understanding reveals that these are not solutions. Furthermore, only a very small number of customers have purchased the SAE Level 3 systems from Mercedes and BMW, making their operation uneconomical. What BMW intends to continue offering as part of its SAE 2+ system is the so-called "Autobahn Assistant," which allows drivers to permanently remove their hands from the steering wheel at speeds up to 130 km/h (80 mph), although they must remain attentive and ready to intervene ("hands-off, eyes-on"). The system assists with vehicle control within the vehicle's lane and can also automatically change lanes if necessary – a simple visual confirmation from the driver is sufficient. While the system facilitates driving on Autobahns, it offers no solution for rural roads, cities, and villages, and has no potential for future operation without a driver monitoring the system in other words it is not autonomous and will never be. This stands in stark contrast to systems from Tesla and Waymo, which operate fully autonomously and without a driver in various US cities and drive significantly more safely than the average human driver. What we are currently witnessing is the admission that German manufacturers cannot offer any autonomous driving solutions, while Tesla FSD is gradually conquering and monetizing the market with a functioning and safe solution. Without a functioning, fully autonomous driving system, established automakers will lose large customer groups who can purchase a Tesla at a lower price, whose systems are already superior to the ADAS systems of BMW or Mercedes. While Tesla's FSD is constantly improving and SAE Level 4 is expected to become available to consumers in the US this year, it is likely that customers will continue to turn their back to German automakers.

Myne Newton 2000 (or 2100) certainly had rechargeable pack (sold by Apple) and dial up modem, inserted into slot.. Internet worked...even used it for a while as travel companion to stay connected.. Was a great prices of technology Cost about 1500. Felt so futuristics, so enve that stoped using it soon, it remained in the box for almost 20 years ..and gifted it to enthusiastic collector The accumulator was dead, but since is accepted batteries, all worked fine...

ARM processor (it actually had the very first one ever in a consumer device… at a crawling 20 MHz) ROM chips instead of Flash memory No rechargeable batteries (ran on disposable AA batteries) Zero wireless (only infrared beaming) No surface-mounted chips Monochrome screen only (no color, not touch) No camera No internet, no browser

From 1990 to 1993, I worked on the Newton OS team. I was responsible for several networking and communications components, most notably the AppleTalk network stack that allowed Newton devices to operate on AppleTalk LANs— for example, printing to a LaserWriter. At the time, AppleTalk was a far more plug-and-play alternative to TCP/IP, which was still in its early stages. TCP/IP eventually matured and became the backbone of the Internet, but in those days it was far from the dominant standard. The AppleTalk stack was written in C++, the low-level language used for most of the OS components. C++ was so new that there was no native compiler. We used a two-pass compilation process: CFront translated C++ into C, which was then compiled into object code. In the Newton era, there were no cell phones or practical wireless data networks. GPS was just emerging and was not part of the Newton architecture. Communications were limited to the serial port. How much has changed. Today, Wi-Fi is assumed as a baseline capability for accessing network resources. Devices like the iPhone communicate wirelessly over LTE and 5G to cellular infrastructure. ncreasingly, they can connect directly to satellite networks such as @Starlink, extending connectivity to nearly any location on Earth— land, sea, or air, from New York to Antarctica. Even back then at Apple, we knew that world was coming. We experimented with in-building wireless technologies, including IR and RF approaches, but power constraints, lack of infrastructure, and the absence of standards kept them out of reach at the time. grokipedia.com/page/Apple_New…

@RadagastdeBrown @davidasinclair Right, unless it in your blood with EAA >= 0.6 ... Meaning, one have a few days left...

As someone who knows a lot about removing endotoxins from injectable pharmaceuticals, so you don't get a fever, I can tell you they have been everywhere, are currently everywhere, and will always be everywhere in the food you eat and the water you drink and it does not matter at all.

We’ve detected endotoxin in the raw materials used in supplements, raising the possibility that people are unwittingly swallowing endotoxin every day

Regular exercise is linked to substantially less time sick In 1002 adults tracked for 12 weeks, exercisers ≥5 days/week had 43% fewer URTI days Severity and symptoms were ~32-41% lower too.

Daily use & high-THC cannabis are strong predictors of developing schizophrenia. Cannabis from the 2000s is not the same as in 2026.
