@tylerclarkesud.bsky.social I don't think enough digging into the ALPR cameras in Sudbury has been done. Sudbury has one of the highest concentrations of these cameras in Ontario (apparently). I am wondering where this data goes and how it is used: www.reddit.com/r/ontario/co...

A Canadian lawmaker is facing backlash online after delivering a speech in New Brunswick's Legislative Assembly that seemingly included an AI prompt. "I'm Ron Burgundy?" some commenters reacted on Reddit.

I've been using my Snapdragon OG X Elite system DAILY for over a year now and it is the BEST system I've ever had (and I've heard the X2 is even better). Performance is crazy fluid/responsive even on battery - and energy efficiency on battery is unmatched. No app issues either!

Hearing the NVIDIA N1X is launching today at Computex is exciting for the whole Windows on ARM ecosystem - this will result in a huge boon in app development and optimization for this platform. Get excited!

This is an EXCELLENT video that articulates so well what I think about the state of "tech reviews" now adays. I've also been using a Surface laptop with the X Elite for the last year and it has been excellent for my needs. Windows on ARM is a very good experience. Can't wait to get an X2 Elite.

This is a FRIGGEN WEIRD story. After browsing that site I found one of our webinars on there and included in one of their gross "AI podcasts". I guess with public links you can't control how they are accessed but this is just SO WEIRD.
