Does anyone know what chipset that gogole tv streamer is using? A GrapheneOS streamig device would be so cool!

While I share the sentiment, Normie Norman is not at fault. Meta and other BigCorps are the perpetrators and Norman the Victim.

It was accurate in the sense that the lawyer used the word ai. In context the lawyer said "Apple uses logarithms (sic) and AI to enhance the images. I don't know how that works". The word AI was used but in context the non-technical lawyer simply meant image enhancing algorithms. No one in that room actually discussed AI.

That being said, one could interpret the top comment that way.

I was watching this live for several days. That is not what happened. The defense paid an expert witness to upscale and enhance DIGITAL FOOTAGE using court appropriate tools. The defense never "tried to throw out any image taken by a non analog camera". They themselves USED DIGITAL FOOTAGE for their defense. I am sorry but you have been lied to by the media.

This is what the defense actually said: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sf7xCMFBv5c

And here's the expert witness the defense brought on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GhsbizmfMs

No that was what the mainstream media lied to you about what happened in the rittenhouse case. One of several instances where one could see fake news and straight up lies be spread in real time.

What actually happened was that a police officer testified that using pinch to zoom on his iPhone he saw kyle point his rifle at the first person assaulting him. Mind you we were talking about a cluster of around 5px. The state wanted to use an iPad to show the jury using pinch to zoom that same "evidence" because using proper zooming without an unknown interpolator algorithm the defense using an expert witness showed that this was not the case. No one in that courtroom understood the difference between linear and bicubic interpolation.

The defense did not understand it either so they tried to explain to the judge that the iPad Might use AI to interpolate pixels that aren't there and that the jury should only use the properly scaled video the court provided not an ad hoc pinch to zoom version in an iPad with unknown interpolation.

Thankfully the judge told the state to fuck off with their iPad but the mainstream media used the bad explanation of the defense against kyle when the reality was that the state basically tried to fake evidence live on stream using an iPad to zoom in.

BTW I'm German so I don't have a horse in the political race but I watched the Trial on live stream and saw the fake news come out while watching

I know the author is reading HN.

I use sway everyday and i freaking love it. Mixing monitors with different resolutions AND different refresh rates all running at their native speeds with no tearing, all while keeping my nice i3 Shortcuts? FREAKING AWESOME!

Does EVERYTHING work? Nope, somethings are broken, some require config changes or workarounds. I have an XFCE desktop installed as a backup for work when i know i need to do a lot of Zoom conferences but for my private stuff i can just avoid non-wayland software and for most things IT.JUST.WORKS. and it's superbly fast and comfy AF to use.

Complain away how wayland doesn't do everything xorg does. Stick to your abandonware for legacy reasons. That's fine. That's your freedom.

I just like the Window Manager :)
