Their response states that the data will be used for the improvement of existing products and services. They offer generative AI as a service. So "we won't abuse it" may be about using the data for something else.


Never thought that I will see the return of third-party repackagings ala "Joe Shmo's Super Hyper Windows" in any somewhat popular capacity.

I expected it even less in a recomendation for an actual problem.

Time is a flat circle.


jasomill's question/assumption is about PRO version.

Internet connection and Microsoft account are explicitly required for HOME version.

There's no mention of such requirements for PRO version. Therefore, it's reasonable to assume that they are optional in PRO version.


As if one can just grab a PlayStation and start developing for it. The limiting tech already exists.

There's no need for retreat. Chrome DevTools have "simulate slow connection" button.

Yeah - and do they use it? Does it help experiencing them the joy of wanting just a little text information, but having to load loads of other stuff first and your connection timing out? I am afraid to get the full experience, they actually need to have a bad connection.

The link leads to 404.


Oh come on. Can't anyone read and edit URLs any more?

No. It relies on Windows 95 infrastructure. And it's not a modern .NET, but .NET Framework 2.0.


It is still maintained. You can use .net 2.0 on the latest visual studio if you choose to.


> So while you can't capture a screenshot of the decoded frame, you could in theory capture the (encoded) video in RAM.

There was a simpler technique. Open a second video player, then screenshot to your heart's content. Windows hardware acceleration for video had only one gpu thread or something like that, I don't remember the exact details.


I guess they did it with icons.


Makes sense, should have thought of it. Maybe I didn't because I am more of a backend and command line guy.


In this case it's not that ridiculous because "black" here isn't just a skin color, but primarily a subculture/subgenre with some distinct musical attributes.

Nobody finds separating French electronic music into its own subgenre ridiculous. Same with Italian Disco.

Such distinct movements are quite usual, so dissatisfaction about Black Swing on streaming services is understandable.


Spotify won't be able to keep those genres separate either.


I think many here are missing the point being made. Of course there are stylistic differences between some groups of artists. The thing is that they probably aren't coded by skin color let alone period location etc, so of course it will bleed. Playing some swing and expecting it to continue to stay within very blurry racial lines is unrealistic, silly, and maybe irresponsible for a recommendation algorithm.

As it's been said, there are better methods of discovery for this purpose. In your example, I'm sure there are Spotify playlists for Italian disco that have been curated.


But these were different music styles.


Also, the subculture exists in the US because of hundreds of years of intentional effort by the majority to destroy any preexisting cultures among black people and prevent any integration with the mainstream.


That's funny, because a lot of 'black' music in that period came from irish musical influences and totally did not come from what you are claiming.
