Floppy disks were introduced in the early 1970s and in the two decades before they became obsolete, tens of billions were produced, most of which ended up in landfills, long-forgotten storage, or libraries. Archivist Leontien Talboom has been working for the past few years to preserve the floppy disks in the Cambridge University Library, collaborating with retro-computing enthusiasts. She talked to @PopularScience about the project.https://flip.it/Hg8Swi#Technology #Tech #RetroComputing #LIbraries

@JakeNL @poppacalypse The lesson we should learn from this is that automation is not the solution for everything, especially when we are talking about task in complex environment such as driving people around.Especially considering when we have solved the transportation problem yet (at least in cities): public transportation.

@peterbosch66 @Lazarou missed a trick here. In the last panel it should've been "Eleventy Nine" studies

„Der sächsische Landesverband der Gewerkschaft der Polizei nutzt ein KI-generiertes Bild mit einem blutenden Polizisten, um eine Pressemitteilung zu illustrieren. Begründet wird dies mit Persönlichkeitsrechten und laufenden Ermittlungen, das Bild sei eine „symbolische Illustration“.“ https://netzpolitik.org/2026/chatgpt-polizeigewerkschaft-bebildert-pressemitteilung-mit-generiertem-schockerfoto/Eine symbolische Illustration also #KI #Polizei #Sachsen #KI #Technology #AI #FakeNews

@adastra1930 I'm using Lorex cameras. I guess you would only get spied on if you were doing physics or electronics research that China would be interested in.

@Distante @Vivaldi, that is one of the reasons, Vivaldi don't have a own AI or LLM, that means, if you want an inbuild AI in the browser, Vivaldi need to use an third party app, yes or yes. Trust it in privacy or selfhost it in a own dedicated server for several millon users.Repeating the question, with what AI company you want the inbuild stock AI?There is the one of Proton as possibility, but I tested it and it's crap, telling BS.Apart of this one , which?This is because it is way more productive, that this must be in the hand of the user himself to select an AI which is usefull for him.

@metin it'll suck if access gets cut off during the greenlandick wars.
