TIL that this cartoonish piranha catching technique actually works
  • I wrote red soil, but more specifically, where I lived there was Terra Roxa (purple soil?), which seems to be a kind of red soil according to the English Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_roxa

    And it is the prevalent soil on the north of the state of Paraná, regarded as Brazil's agricultural barn: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraná_(state)

    So it does confuse me that the state's soil would be unfertile, as I grew up learning how good it was and surrounded by prosperous farms.

    The Portuguese Wikipedia page does talk about it being fertile (no English translation): https://pt.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_roxa

    So maybe it isn't a type of red soil in the end; or there are some types of red soil that are (very) fertile.

  • Brazilian here. Perfectly safe (color-wise; of course it can be polluted as hell despite its color, just like any other river).

    Our ground/mud has a different color. Some areas on the south even have a red soil (very fertile, but makes everything about ground level look dirty very quickly): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_soil

    There's great variety of water colors even in the same area, just search for images "meeting of the waters Manaus":

    confluence between the Black river of black water and the Solimões river of muddy water, where the waters of the two rivers run side by side without mixing

  • AMD plans for FSR4 to be fully AI-based — designed to improve quality and maximize power efficiency
  • I couldn't get a good understanding if AI will only be used for Frame Generation (which I'm not so enthusiastic about, with its latency and quality issues) or for upscaling too (that I'm quite a fan of).

  • How to Monetize a Blog
  • Probably good to add a /s somewhere here.

    I suspect people are down voting without checking the piece.

    I know I would, but I saw it shared on Mastodon in a cheeky way first.

  • Recommended Android Box? (Unlocked bootloader)
  • If you're interested in Lineage, just check their device page and filter for set top box:

  • X says it is closing operations in Brazil due to judge's content orders
  • Made me think this was the good news community.

  • Backing up photos and videos from an Android phone?
  • I had it initially setup to run on Wi-Fi too, battery or charging.

    Then I had my battery drain to 30-40% during afternoons, when I'm used to reaching evenings above 60%. Check app usage on settings: Syncthing.

    Since I use it mostly for backing up photos, I found it better to enable it only when charging.

  • Backing up photos and videos from an Android phone?
  • Syncthing.

    Just configure it to only run while plugged to the wall, so you're not surprised by the rare bug of it randomly turning your phone into a pocket warmer.

  • Libreoffice released an Android version!
  • That is great news!

    Now I might be able to uninstall Google Drive from my phone.

  • Proton Mail provided user data that led to an arrest in Spain
  • The original post is 2 months old.

    What's the point of reposting it? Better to post something like:

    Don't use a non-private email, or an email linked to your real identity as your recovery email, because, like other things that Proton needs to have access to (such as recipients and email subjects), it can be shared with law enforcement.

  • AMD officially confirms no more Windows 10 chipset driver and support for the new Ryzen AI 300 series
  • People, shall we read the full article first?

    Meanwhile, this is not the case with the Ryzen 9000 series desktop parts as the spec sheet of that says:

    OS Support

    Windows 11 - 64-Bit Edition , Windows 10 - 64-Bit Edition , RHEL x86 64-Bit , Ubuntu x86 64-Bit

    So the new Ryzen AI chips that most people don't care about won't support Win 10, but Ryzen 9000 (the real deal desktop chips) will.

    To be frank, the article title is misleading at best.

    Thanks to the porting efforts of huo-ju (photoprism-freebsd-port) and psa (libtensorflow1-freebsd-port), it is quite easy to get PhotoPrism up and running on a FreeBSD system or jail. The port uses…

  • Same for the teenager part.

    The Podcast (Dialogues instead of Monologues) is content for the older audience, though: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLet00UQnlQoUKqSB5-oFmrwpnnVc4C4A8

  • Despite strong reviews, Hellblade 2 is struggling on Steam
  • Facts: Game didn't break the charts on day one.

    Media: Game is struggling on Steam.

    Facts: That's not what the data say, in fact some games come out with a bang, others have a long...

    Media: OmD, will Ninja Theory survive?!

    Can't have a healthier gaming industry if this passes for news, specially with that headline.

    5th paragraph in, so they can say they weren't doomsayers:

    While the numbers don’t look great, there’s currently nothing to worry about with Hellblade 2.

    Edit: added clarity that the post started with a "dialogue".

  • Is Proton working on AI assistant?
  • Since it isn't VC backed or publicly traded, I expect Proton to avoid the AI tech fever.

    I guess I need to make my voice heard in that regard and answer the survey.

  • IMF boss warns of AI 'tsunami' coming for world's jobs
  • L. O. L.

    Seriously though, reasonable discussion of its usefulness aside, how can't people see that outrageous statements like that without any scientific or practical backing, clearly made to inspire devotion and/or fear, keeping the hype and the money and resources drain on, are the telltale of a tech hype?

  • Read the memo: Meta is shutting down Workplace, cutting back enterprise ambitions
  • We are discontinuing Workplace from Meta so we can focus on building AI and metaverse technologies that we believe will fundamentally reshape the way we work,

    Lol, can't make this shit up!

  • Read the memo: Meta is shutting down Workplace, cutting back enterprise ambitions
  • It this actually true? For real?!

    Can't wait to go back from my parental leave and not be the last one to hear about important announcements because they were posted on FB. F that.

  • What open-source software would you like more people to know about?
  • Everything runs locally, OCR, ML, etc, which can be a bit taxing on lower end hardware, but there are ways to disable the more advanced and computationally expensive features, like NLTK for advanced Natural Language processing.

    Your data is stored locally on your server and is never transmitted or shared in any way.

  • Will Gamers Nexus feature Adata's 10% DDR5 temp improvement?

    Technological feat aside:

    >Revolutionary heat dissipating coating effectively reduces temperatures by more than 10%

    78.5C -> 70C = (78.5 - 70) / 78.5 = 0.1082 = 10% right?!

    Well, not really. Celsius is an arbitrary temperature scale. The same values on Kelvin would be:

    351.65K -> 343.15K = (351.65 - 343.15) / 351.65 = 0.0241 = 2% (???)

    So that's why you shouldn't do % on temp changes. A more entertaining version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhkYcO1VxOk&t=374s
