You're confused: You assume that all cameras on glasses will always be controlled by fascists.
Did it ever occur to you that someone might make their own glasses? Or that a company could make a set that works offline?
If you ran things, such technology would never happen because it would be banned before it got out the door.
But you'd be ok with that because you live in a hole, with perfect eyesight and zero foresight.
You think people should need a license to use technology like glasses and cameras. Listen to yourself!
I don't know what kind of "anti" hole you fell into but you need to crawl back out.
Who's pushing to make them hidden? If you want hidden cameras there's thousands of vastly superior options than thick, ugly, obvious glasses.
Go search AliExpress right now for "hidden camera". Your mind will be blown.
This isn't wise for the sole reason that they really are a great benefit to the visually impaired.
Right now the tech is super useful, being able to read small text out loud and differentiate similar objects that certain conditions make difficult. However, the tech has the potential to do so much more.
Banning it now would be like slapping a whole lot of disabled people in the face.
Experts: Give me the opposite! I want to know how I can spend tons of money on knitting to get that luxury beginner's experience.
Forget the yarn, tell me what you lust for as an experienced knitter!
Everyone knows you can't ever have enough yarn. As a 3D printing enthusiast, I already relate. Deeply.
Now with a delicious sweet cream filling.
Double-stuff yourselves in oreoaN👍
Well, they used to donate to politicians that wanted to fund schools 🤷
What's dmesg say when he plugs it in? I bet it says something about being unable to enumerate the device which usually means it's a power-related issue.
Get a powered USB hub and plug the mouse into that. I bet that'll fix the problem forever.
Alternatively, you could figure out what's gobbling up all the power and just unplug that.
One last thing: USB devices randomly not working is a common symptom of a failing power supply but it can also just be a failing USB device. For example, I had a super cheap generic Chinese branded webcam that started causing issues after I had it for about a year.
"Sarcasm"
Or worse, used!
This is total bullshit. All of it.
The almond growing industry in California uses 1.5-1.8 trillion gallons of water annually.
Even if you take the water use figures from the article at face value (17 billion gallons), almonds still use up vastly more water than all AI data centers combined.
The truth is that almonds need a fuckton of water! Waaaay TF more than any other crop and more than most industries.
There's another reason why it's bullshit: The figures cited include the water used by power plants themselves for cooling. That water is taken from the cooling ponds next to the power plant. It's not potable water and it was part of the plant's design.
Talking about water use when it comes to AI is stupid and distracts from the real problem which is power use! Stop talking about the water already! It's just going to discredit you when talking about the (real) problems with AI.
I have a conspiracy theory that the AI companies themselves are promoting these water usage articles because it discredits anyone who speaks out against AI data centers.
It's almost as if you take on some risk when you buy companies 🤔
