They are going to spin it off eventually, aren’t they?

They have offices and datacenters in the EU. So forced physical entry and interruption to their operations would be the next escalation step.

It did not simply analyze the best type of graphics card for the situation.

Yes it certainly didn’t: It’s a large language model, not some sort of knowledge engine. It can’t analyze anything, it only generates likely text strings. I think this is still fundamentally misunderstood widely.

Welcome to 2010 to you as well then!

It’s easy to create artificial maintenance costs there as needed.

That reminds me of the bricked polish trains, not only did they create artificial maintenance cost, they also tried to ensure that only they (and not their competitors) would be able to do that maintenance (unflipping the kill-switch)

If they are a company for grown ups why is he acting all controlling like an insecure little child instead of trusting in his employees like a brave adult?

Yeah you’re probably right.

Although the peak power you can withdraw from a battery is also an important factor, the energy capacity would be the expected size to be reported here.

Thank you for sharing that information.

Then it really does seems like some reviewers were just entering the grey zone willingly, to get phones intended for advertisements and used them for reviews anyway.

There are also some on Facebook’s, Amazon’s or ByteDance’s respective teats

The second half of the article goes into that a bit. Seems like some reviewers were also grouped into that program before, and the terms weren’t like this before.

The Verge spoke with other independent reviewers and freelance tech journalists who say that they were grouped into the Team Pixel program for review units in the past. For those in the latter group, the new stipulation is a threat to their integrity and livelihood. Matlock says he’s since quit the Team Pixel program over the new terms.

YouTuber Kevin Nether, who runs The Tech Ninja channel, also says the clause led him to quit the Team Pixel program. “As someone who reviews technology for a living, I work with many brands. To be cornered into using one product — that doesn’t work for me, and that’s nothing I want to participate in.”

Nether echoes that he’s never seen this kind of stipulation in previous Team Pixel surveys. Usually, he says, the survey gauges a creator’s interest in various topics, like sports or fashion, to identify areas for collaboration. In the past, he says he’s made it clear to Team Pixel representatives that outside an obligatory post, he will review the device as normal. Nether also says this exclusivity term is atypical. Usually, when brands demand exclusivity from creators or brand ambassadors, they’ll offer payment, have clear disclosure rules, and have limited timelines.

Either Google changed the focus of the program, or the intent wasn’t clear enough in previous years

And each intel chip runs a minix system behind the scenes that I’m sure someone will soon find a way to play with if it’s not already compromised.

There was a big story of an expoit of the Intel ME already. I think it was this: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000025619/software.html from Positive Technologies at BlackHat 2017

For all the others on the page they are planning fixes, only Mattisse has this. Is there something special about Matisse compared to the others?

What the heck? Then get to planning you dicks?
