Google probably realizes literally nobody likes WEBP and avoids using it

The real key is buried in the middle, where they say hardware decode capabilities are going to be restricted to models with discrete GPUs… Meaning they can make a $500 upsell mandatory for the most basic of capabilities.

That means the peak is here. The insider of all insiders sold? Dump everything!

Then you’re using the wrong browser

I did that too. Still nothing appears. There us a donation box in place of those advertisements.

There are no ads on my computer or my phone when running no adblocker.

Your network or multiple devices have been hijacked, someone is injecting ads. Some ISP’s even do this themselves to double dip profits. Run an adblocker and VPN and run virus scans.

I dont really blame Proton for this. Accessing anything on the internet on a clear connection and not through a VPN or TOR makes it your own damn fault when you get identified.

Yet 42 million people need food stamps to not starve to death

Be realistic, not many people using apple devices (or any mobile devices tbh) are going to care or be intelligent enough to pull an open source alternative

No no, illegal for CITIZENS to use. I’m sure they’ll have a licensing requirement allowing their use for corporate entities of course.

Someone watched Star Trek and took their interfaces a bit too literally

I’m sure those will be illegal by the end of 2026

They won’t. Funded by Amazon, corporate tracking will still be mandatory.

Why the fuck does every single company doing anything of value end up being run by fucking Nazi chuds???

Sure, but engineering materials still start to break down at such high continuous service temps. And mechanical heat pumps become very impractical above 250C as things like compressors and phase change refrigerants also break down under extreme temperatures and pressures required to force a phase change at such a high temp.

And how do you define “chips?”

For every one advanced semiconductor maybe being made at a US fab you’re going to have 40-50 supporting “chips” for power regulation, signal processing, amplification, etc etc etc… Does a MOSFET count as a “chip”? A 555?

Also advanced processors being made here like 90% of the time are going to be offshored to be packagd for final use, since all the advanced packaging technologies are stuck in Taiwan et al.

More numpy’s bullshit from a demented dingus who doesn’t know how to turn a door handle properly anymore.

Its more than that; companies also continuously propagate the message of “shortage of workers” while continuing to raise the requirements for entry level positions more and more. It reaches a point where “entry level” is not attainable for most fresh grads to get experience, and keeps their starting wages (and continuing wages) very well depressed due to the high supply.

Its a very targeted campaign to make sure educated workers are oversupplied, tied down with student debt, and don’t get too many ideas of independence in their heads.

Yeah but the business is still operating, right? No matter that it’s ruining the work quality of those who are left, if things are still working then it means you can cut that position. So much efficiency of the open market!

Try a $48-64k job and get some experience.

Boomer out of touch take.

Damn. That’d be crazy if anyone was actually hiring anybody with no experience.

I know multiple group chats of people who graduated fresh from college, not even 20% of them have jobs a year after grad. And this is spread across comp sci, cybersecurity, and mech eng.

The entry level job is dead. Every company thinks they can replace the menial shit that entry level workers do to learn with AI slop.
