  • It also returns these auto dubbed videos in search results, making it increasingly difficult to find intelligible videos about foreign topics. You’ll get a native describing the problem to other natives with a common understanding, auto transcribed, auto translated, and auto dubbed.

    Here’s a hilariously bad example. This video has an AI English dub. https://youtu.be/DNceEVQulwY?t=908 (warning: up close whispering) Have you ever noticed YouTube’s automatic translation system sometimes buffers up a lot of text and dumps a whole paragraph on screen at once?


  • He’s screwed. He and others in his administration made it an integral part of his platform. Whether it exists or not, his supporters, who have been trained to believe in a deep state conspiracy to cover up child abuse, cannot be convinced that it doesn’t exist, and the more he denies it the more suspicious he looks. Either releasing the evidence would end him, or through multiple layers of convenient, unbelievable incompetence the promised evidence really doesn’t exist. Really? Only one camera that can only see a sliver of a stairway was working and even that has a time gap, and the guards just happened to be slacking off on the night in question? It’d be hard to believe even if the Trump administration hadn’t made such a big deal about it and there wasn’t that photo going around of Trump and Epstein together.












  • Until a few years ago, it was common for Android devices to stop receiving features after about 1 year and then stop receiving security updates after 2 years. Unless you’re getting security updates another way, which may not work correctly and may even require you to build Android yourself, you should not use the device for anything important after that point. The batteries would be next to useless by that time. Now it seems more common to get three years, which isn’t great either. iPhones last longer, but they come with all the iPhone problems.



  • The start menu being React Native is irrelevant. If it were React in an Edge web view that would be a different story.

    Opening the start menu should cause a spike in CPU usage. You want the CPU to open the menu ASAP instead of dragging out the process so the CPU usage is more flat.

    But everything in Windows these days is wasting time stealing your data, loading ads or other unnecessary data from cloud services, and interacting with “AI.” Performance is one of the lowest priorities, somewhere between software quality and privacy. Since mid Windows 10, Microsoft consistently replaces things with modernized, but worse, versions and never returns to finish making the new version as good as the previous version that evolved over decades. It’s a really expensive way to ruin a product. They could make a React Native start menu where people wouldn’t complain about the performance. They probably did and people are only noticing now because of a recent regression.
