Will the NVIDIA 555 beta drivers be on the Arch repo’s or will we have to wait for the proper release?
It is already available in the Chaotic AUR. This person recently installed it and it resolved the issue they were having: Enabling HDR crashes desktop after wakeup - #3 by FelicitusNeko
Hmmm, i’m hesitant to install drivers from the AUR, call me paranoid lol, i think i’ll just wait for it to go into the Offical Repo’s.

There isn’t much in the way of new code but some 19k lines of code removed thanks to removing an unused driver as well as a broken driver.
Apple users also seem to have an AI related privacy issue…

Who is there to check if Apple is actually selling all this pic. Metadata to data brokers as big data?
US is lax on the Big Tech… i wonder if anyone inspects their activities. If not, that would be kind of … Wtf moment. Only thing they need to watch out for is EU fines for anti trust.
Here the fail was that the gorvernment actually ordered the client side scanning.
Now the question is… Why was this not up for debate for the consumers, as in consumer rights, privacy etc.

You’ve probably heard quite a bit about Microsoft’s new Recall feature which I’m not going to sugar coat it, is literally just spyware and I do not trust that this data is never going to collected or leaked through some malware.

everything we do or just happen to see on our screens carefully screenshotted and indexed by an AI: what could go wrong? 
If having an indexed database with everything I see/think/do isn’t creepy I don’t know what it is.
It’s data and it can be stolen, doesn’t matter what they say or promise, the biggest error is creating such unnecessary archive.

First, it is Going to be a massive security risk, let a lone being spyware.
More importantly… This is total surveillance.
Is this going to back fire at MS any time soon? Likely…

It’s a fine line to walk to answer this without drifting into politics. If it is too much against the forum rules for the team, simply delete it.
Is there anything left for consumers to debate these days? And even if there is, will this be taken into account in such decisions in the end? It is decided and enforced in the interests of large corporations, and that’s it. The problems are on a completely different level.
There were/are a number of campaigns that try to raise awareness about client-side scanning. My experience is that people are not interested or they come up with arguments such as “We are already being spied on everywhere anyway. It doesn’t matter anymore.”
Of course, there is also a lot of propaganda and the popular excuse of protecting children or fighting terrorism (which we mostly created ourselves), although there are studies that show that client-side scanning will not help.
We could now list countless examples where the benefits are similar and have been the same. As mentioned above, the problems lie elsewhere.

That is true. Corporate intrests + gorvernments control.
Id argue that consumers are at fault here too. The average consumer is 90% convinience 10% everything else.
At the end of the day… Consumers are not going to buy something they dont like. The decisions are made.

I think it’s difficult to blame the consumer.
There are many things where consumers have no choice. Not buying plastic packaging. For many things, that would mean not buying them at all because they simply don’t exist without plastic packaging. Or they are extremely expensive and unaffordable for the majority of the population. Do the grandmother with her small pension or the unemployed person really have the choice to buy yogurt in a jar that costs three times as much as the plastic packaged version? Can they afford meat from species-appropriate animal husbandry?
Yes, it is always claimed that the market regulates everything and the consumer decides. But at the end of the day, it’s not you but your wallet that decides what you are able to regulate when buying products.
We should stop here now, otherwise we’ll soon be getting hit for being offtopic…

Bruddah, you said a mouthful! The manufacturers of my mobility device want beaucoup bucks for fitting that I’m going to buy at a hardware store instead for a fraction of the cost. Had I not a construction industry background, I would have no other choice but the expensive route. Grrr.
