I appreciate Dave2d's "M2 Macbook air versus Windows" vid. Hope he'll make an M3 Macbook air versus Windows.

Apple's focus on polish makes them a not-1st-mover. The Apple vision pro isn't the 1st virtual or augmented reality device. The Airpods max isn't the 1st pair of wireless headphones.

I viewed this – y2u.be/URoVKPVDKPU

The vid showed that Boeing seemed to have questionable quality control. The focus was maximizing profit. Boeing outsourced the ✈'s parts to different firms but seemed to have a loose grasp on the whole thing. As the main firm, Boeing must have keenly supervised the crucial things. It's a key part of quality control.

Also, some knowledgeable Boeing folks left Boeing. Brain drain.

This may excite some, but I value sustained real-world performance more. For example, the fast processors tested by Gamers nexus.

Youtube works 👍 on Firefox Windows 11 with Ublock origin for me. I could view 1440p. No major issue. Aside from adblocking, I use Ublock origin to block tracking cookies and remove "accept cookies" banners on sites.

I can tell Chatgpt to use scientific sources only, right? :)

I searched by typing Tenet and found your comment.

The 1st time I viewed Tenet, I didn't think hard. I didn't get it. I disliked Tenet.

Many hours ago I thought I'd rewatch with more focus. I'd try to get everything. Based on Nolan's other flicks, he probably didn't write a dumb plot just for the $. I understood and appreciated Tenet. It's 👍 that Nolan didn't spoonfeed us by directing Tenet so it was easily understandable. I wouldn't get it if I didn't give it much focus. It's 👍 that Nolan directed flicks with bold concepts. Tenet was too complex for some, but I suggest that they rewatch with more focus. They can search for explanations on the Net too. No shame in that.

I look forward to Nolan's next.

Were the research papers used to train Ibm's language model not public? If the papers are public and there are no restrictions, Chatgpt and Gemini can use those right? If Chatgpt and Gemini used those, what's the benefit of using Ibm's language model?

Odd that heliophysics (sun physics) was specified. It's under astrophysics.

This reminds me of Blu-ray and streaming. Movie and series studios seem to prefer streaming over Blu-ray. If I'll stream a movie, I won't own it. On the other hand, if I'll buy a Blu-ray disc, I'll own it.

Lately I bought a Buffalo 1-terabyte external ssd. It'll be my backup ssd. The formats of my files are common so I don't have an issue opening those.

While the left mouse button is held down, I can put the window on the left or the right. I have no concern. But I noticed the difference compared to Chrome. In Chrome, the new window is there while the left mouse button is held down. In Firefox, it's a thumbnail.

For many monitors, I never had more than 1 monitor, so can't talk re it.

Obviously they didn't do a Wi-fi intensity study.

I thought of interference too. If the Wi-fi was bouncing all over, there may be many areas with destructive interference – weak or no Wi-fi.
