There is a segment in a recent Linus Tech Tips video [1] that showcased media asset management software [2] where you can search for portions of locally stored videos via natural language. e.g. Person X holding object Y, working on task Z. If this type of AI video tagging comes to mobile I think it will be a game changer.

There's an interesting phenomenon, where certain keywords in your post will trigger bot rings to advertise their services. Keywords such as: "Crypto", "Metamask", "Hacked", "IPTV".

Snapchat notifications don't have the actual message content, the notification would have been '$Name sent you a chat'.

Linus Tech Tips covered a Chinese smart TV [1] that had a preloaded car commercial when you boot it up. The TV was not even connected to the internet, the video file was preloaded from the factory.

I wonder how much it costed to install that ad, like wtf

It's ok. Here are some of my thoughts:

- The lack of a web interface to browse Threads is frustrating, you can only view a specific thread someone has shared a link to before it forces you to download the app. - No following feed, so I've had to mute dozens of media/political/brand accounts that appear on the homepage. - No chronological feed is annoying. - You also can't search for keywords/hashtags. I primarily use twitter to receive real time commentary on events, so this is the biggest downside in my opinion.

Overall, Threads feels like a beta product that was rushed to release to take advantage of the rate limits implemented on Twitter. We'll see in a few months if Meta can follow through in building an app with the feature parity of Twitter.

I've came across Haskell in my computer science class at High school/Sixth Form. It's in the AQA Computer Science specification [1] and you are expected to know the basic concepts of functional programming as well as interpret code in the written exam.

I've found that the instance hosted by privacytools.io is significantly faster than the official instance.

I remember that the Kerala government (southern state in India) deployed an ubuntu-based operating system on 200,000 laptops in government-funded schools in 2021. Turns out they saved an estimated $360,000 compared to Windows/ChromeOS offerings.

So using Linux over Windows saves only $1.8 per user? If anything that makes an amazing selling point for Windows.

$1.80 doesn't sound like a lot in the US, but I'm sure the government would want to spend the savings on teacher salaries and equipment rather than on trivial Windows licenses - especially in developing countries where every dollar counts.

These types of broad summaries at least often fail to talk about the cost of support, education, and interoperability.

Eg xrdp is a huge productivity hit at best, but honestly not viable at all.
