Technology@lemmy.world•Chinese firm to be banned for stealing Samsung's OLED techEnglish
19·5 months agoA fitting analogy to US\China manufacturing interoperations would be one waving-off flies in a cow pasture only for other flies to take their place. And moan about while making no improvements to the farm.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google Keeps Making Smartphones WorseEnglish
43·6 months agoCan I get a rundown of the few non-flagship phonemakers that are currently out there? I have heard of The Nothing Phone. Are there more companies that put together Androids to operate within the US?

Technology@lemmy.world•Researchers finds high levels of dangerous air particles(PM2.5) in air near electric vehicle fast charging stations.English
17·6 months agoThey’re not separating data throughly. Researcher Yifang Zhu, over many publishings, mainly gathers and publishes raw findings. Such as… (summarizing) “Children are at risk due to immature respiratory systems and faster breathing rates… by traveling in diesel powered school buses in my South Texas study.”

Technology@lemmy.world•Researchers finds high levels of dangerous air particles(PM2.5) in air near electric vehicle fast charging stations.English
5·6 months agoA research participant, Yifang Zhu, is tied to a thing called Mobility Justice Frameworks. It’s pushing for greenspaces in urban areas, including making existing infrastructures look bad for its cause(s).
The research team has more A.I. tools than proper researching. It’s odd.

Yuan Yao, teacher of sustainable systems.
Muchuan Niu, UCLA student, MS in Environmental Sciences.
Haoxuan Chen, Stanford student, machine learning.
Qiao Yu, Shanghai A.I. Laboratory.
Qingyang Wu, private A.I. developer.
Yuhang Li, student, Art History, A.I. cloud data processor.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversationsEnglish
7·8 months agoThey said it’s rolling out in beta. Spam Protection is already in the Messages app. Scam Protection is coming soon. But to listen to telephone audio that means they want to add it into the native dialer\phone app. Google has a dialer app named “Phone” with a Spam filter feature currently.
I assume that’s what is coming – a.i. into the dialer\phone app.

Technology@lemmy.world•Without GPS: EU researchers develop satellite-independent navigation systemEnglish
10·9 months agoSimilar to cellphone a-gps (assisted gps) with a supplemental unified NLP (network location provider) addon feature found on recent phones… but beefed-up on a large-scale. This should provide more emitter sources, whitelisting and blacklisting, and dedicated software to help discover bad or rogue emitters.
I’m going off the graphic guessing the “detectors” continuous scanning contributes into a database that users will then subscribe on to; instead of the cellphone makeing the self-processing decisions in NLP software.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google officially changes the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on MapsEnglish
3·11 months agoI found this paragraph…
Can Trump change the name of the Gulf of Mexico? Maybe, but it’s not a unilateral decision, and other countries don’t have to go along. The International Hydrographic Organization — of which both the US and Mexico are members — works to ensure all the world’s seas, oceans and navigable waters are surveyed and charted uniformly, and also names some of them. There are instances where countries refer to the same body of water or landmark by different names in their own documentation.

Technology@lemmy.world•Californians Say X Blocked Them From Viewing Amber Alert About Missing 14-Year-OldEnglish
7·1 year agoYup funds, and the web traffic handleability.
My small city (population 89,000) had a 911 outage about 2 years ago. Their solution was to sms text or voice dial everyone with the message “…please dial any county non-emergency number… see a list of numbers at bitly.url…”. The hosted website was hugged-to-death.After fines, it was inevitably cheaper to extend the nearest net backbone closer to our neck of the woods and upgrade all county things with fiber and data centers.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are good ways to increase air flow in a home with few windows and oriented unfavorably to the local wind direction (cheaply)?
4·2 years agoResearch and shop around for a type of fan called a centrifugal blower or utility blower. These fans are designed specifically for entire space ventilation. They sound like tiny jet engines. The same fans that inflate bouncy fun houses or the fans you sometimes see on a storefront wet floor during a rainy day to blow dry. Output rates of small units 100 to 500cfm (cubic feet per minute) will replace all air inside a 2-car garage space every hour. Mid range blowers 600-900cfm will replace that same air space every 5-10min (approx. 6x per hour). Higher velocity blowers >1000cfm will clear an entire 1-story house (typically for HVAC or factory use) and is more efficient and quieter than the biggest attic fan style unit.
After you have bought the raw power of air movement, then experiment with positive pressure and negative pressure flow setups (suck vs. blow). And then finally other per room or per window configurations as needed.

Technology@lemmy.world•TV Station Launches Multiple 4K Broadcasts OTA on ATSC 1.0English
3·2 years agoThis is interesting. I use OTA antenna tv everyday, almost exclusively. I almost forgot OTA HDTV still uses the mpeg2-ts, similar to the dvd codec. Newer tv hardwares (>2010-ish) all can decode mpeg4, theoretically, since they utilize internet streaming apps and services.
I smell a new format war a comin’.
I say, go right for mpeg4 h.265, or higher. Instead of mixing mpeg2 and mpeg4, like the video demonstrated. Because no way am i going to “buy” a DRM-protected thing for every broadcaster… I’m currently pulling-in 20+ stations.And that may be the other format war… to pay or not to pay.

Technology@lemmy.world•Commercials Are Streaming’s New Norm, and Creators Aren’t Happy: “It’s Almost Worse Than Broadcast”English
61·2 years agoBy streamers ignoring all the decades of broadcasting experience, and all established what’s fair air-time for both content and commercial. That’s the frustration… they’re rewriting standards… “my company, my content, my timings, my bottom-line”. And doing it poorly. And at top speed.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Those of you who share a name with a celebrity, how do you deal with it?
7·2 years agoNot too many Luigis living in the US I can assume. No big perks or benefits from it. One time a teacher said, “I don’t know how to spell Luigi… so I’ll call you Lewis”, and slapped that hello-my-name-is nametag on me.

In 2024, in the eyes of Microsoft, they saw a demand for A.I. (from who or where, is another rabbit hole). And Microsoft bought a 20 year nuclear power contract. So 20-30 years from today that spent nuclear fuel is fuck that humans will have for infinity; instead of 100% of that nuclear power to have used for any other purpose (cities, battery charging, hospitals, food production, etc)… absolutely anything other than A.I.
Yup, so your answer is in the bottom of that rabbit hole, and it isn’t a logical one.
