> Maybe it's still in A/B testing or something

Are you on the beta branch? It doesn't look like its in stable yet (Settings --> Interface --> Client Beta Participation)


Also, you're going to get a different speed up depending on which page you have set as your starting page.

If you have steam configured so it shows the store page on startup, you have to add on the time it for that page to load.



Your mirror doesn't seem to work either

It did for me. It’s a press release:

> E Ink Kaleido 4 supports a broader range of digital content. Compared to the previous generation, E Ink Kaleido 4 doubles its color gamut volume to more than 40K, increases white reflectance by 15%, and improves contrast by 50%. Additionally, with the introduction of new algorithms, E Ink Kaleido 4 is capable of video playback at up to 18 frames per second (FPS).

> E Ink Kaleido 4 incorporates a new oxide TFT backplane that supports higher driving voltages and faster screen refresh. Combined with Hanvon Technology's proprietary "Enhanced Pressure Floating" technology and T2000 timing controller, it enables 27% faster page turning and scrolling on the M10C II. A redesigned front-light system also delivers clearer, more natural color reproduction.


That would be a huge improvement no ?

Other threads seem to be discussing that. I’m reserving judgment until I see independent color accuracy tests, since if they just made red redder that could fit these claims while being useless, so I have neither prediction nor opinion to offer you at this time. I don’t expect ProPhoto RGB but I do expect less abysmal color imbalances than the previous generation; we’ll have to see how much they’re depending on the panel lighting to spoof that test, I suspect.

I care more about the contrast and reflectsnce (given its eink) but good accuracy is always nice. Although I assume if your using external light sources you would need something high CRI

How is this different from autoconfig.js, firefox.cfg, and other `defaults/pref` options? Orgs can already use that to manage and lock down Firefox preferences, ban/force extensions, and more

a) it's much easier to work with b) you have much more monitoring possibilities c) it adds a pile of features d) you can host all supporting services (sync, updates, telemetry, etc) on premise - if you want

The current policies are not very enterprise-friendly yet.

Some settings are flat out refused (for "security reasons"). And with each new update there are a few new popups / invitations to try this new feature / re-enabling the v2 of the thing of which the v1 was already opted out in the policy. And it seems like you cannot apply new policy while the browser is running - meaning it cannot be used to roll out hotfixes without interrupting the work of currently unaffected workstations.

And then there is the syncing. If you want to manage & sync history, bookmarks and the password managers content.. you are probably going to find that easier by overriding the builtin features with 3rd-party extensions, as the builtin sync feature is very much tailored to the needs of privately owned devices and one-device-at-a-time usage patterns.


And it seems like you cannot apply new policy while the browser is running - meaning it cannot be used to roll out hotfixes without interrupting the work of currently unaffected workstations.

The changelog linked above seems to hint this is specifically fixed/a new feature in the Enterprise version:

"Many policy-driven changes can take effect without restarting the browser."



They explain it in the next sentence: "We strongly oppose rhetoric that threatens other human rights and freedoms."

> They explain it in the next sentence: "We strongly oppose rhetoric that threatens other human rights and freedoms."

That's not an explanation. I don't think it's too much of an exaggeration to say everyone supports "human rights and freedoms," they just disagree on what those are.


> They explain it in the next sentence: "We strongly oppose rhetoric that threatens other human rights and freedoms."

Except they are clearly taking a stance in opposition to Swedes' freedom to decide how they want their country to be governed.


Why are they opposing the mere rhetoric and not the ideas themselves? You either support free speech unreservedly, including for your political opposites, or you don't.

> You either support free speech unreservedly, including for your political opposites, or you don't.

You've never heard statements such as "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."?

That is, you don't draw a real distinction between repeatedly, loudly, and publicly calling someone a cotton-headed slop-spouting pig to whom no one should pay any mind and actively working to ensure that said pig is prohibited from spouting its slop?


They credited the artist at the bottom of the article. Not sure if it was there before you commented or not

Wayback Machine confirms it was there a few days ago.

People are just never happy and always going to have something to say. Even if you don't go the AI route and hire an illustrator, even if you credit work, someone has to be critical.


The obvious place to do it is in the writing. I had been expecting that during the entire paragraph, being art and liking what I was seeing I just wanted to see the artist portfolio.

Scroll down two inches.

You don't understand how low resolution my screen is. That's seventeen rotations of the mouse wheel.


Copilot

That's not a model.

True, but its not pure OpenAI GPT. If the point is dogfooding, then they'd use Copilot instead of using OpenAI's models directly

They do.

They had phi for a while. Interesting that they haven't really continued with anything like that.

Phi was more of a research project. Not trained on real world data but synthetic input. That's really good to control if you go for strict limits but it also loses a lot of originality.

But it was never a SOTA model.


If you ask Microsoft, it is a lifestyle.

> This is an awesome timeline for old game preservation

How? The ISOs/ROMs were already preserved and playable on emulators on newer platforms


They are playable on current platforms. Will they be playable on platforms ten, twenty years from now? Some games and systems might slip through the cracks. It's a never ending process

The Music app still works with iPods, but only for songs you own


It's a weird hybrid. You load the music into Music, but then have to sync your iPods with Finder.

Glad to report that Finder still works great syncing music all the way back to the launch day Shuffle, and even iPhone 3G, which I did just yesterday.
