The FCC is requiring ISPs to list ALL their costs, and it’s shocking this wasn’t a rule before! Windows is bringing more “suggestions” to the Start Menu. Adobe’s “ethical” AI was trained on images from a “non-ethical” AI. Google is bringing AI editor to ALL phones, but also ending support for their ONE VPN.

And we should talk a bit about how INSANELY expensive AI is…

Let’s get our tech week started right!

AceMagic AX16 Pro Laptop: It happened to me too…

AceMagic AX16 Pro laptop review!

I’m a huge fan of mini PCs and this strategy of selling older laptop processors inside small desktop computers. AceMagic is trying the same formula with a laptop, and the specs are pretty decent.

Unfortunately, the brand has also been dealing with QA issues, and some models of AceMagic PC have been shipped with malware preinstalled…

Like this laptop I got…

So… How should we deal with this? Continue reading “AceMagic AX16 Pro Laptop: It happened to me too…”

The ‘Three Body Problem’ Problem: Impressively Grand, Yet Disappointingly Small

[I try to write my reviews as spoiler-free as I can, but there still might be comments or ideas that could ruin your experience watching the show. If you’re curious about the show, it’s best to watch it on your own first, before watching/reading ANY review or “explained” analysis.]

It took us a while to chew through the eight episodes of Netflix’s adaptation of The Three Body Problem. I’ve read Liu Cixin’s ‘Remembrance of Earth’s Past’ trilogy. I love ‘The Three Body Problem’. I really like ‘The Dark Forrest’. I was critically deflated by ‘Death’s End’.

I was ready to binge the whole series on launch day, but Marie had not read any of the books. The show proved a touch too dense for Marie, and we opted to spread out our viewing over several days. We finally wrapped it up last night, and I have a lot of thoughts. Mostly good thoughts, but I am a bit disappointed in a few of the structural decisions demonstrated.
