While I agree with you, its that very misunderstanding that bosses and owners have, and they'll fire regular folks and replace with ai. They may suffer lower quality and even catastrophic failures but it will take time for them to realise and rehire people. All those regular folks will be out of work during that time.

AI or "algorithm" upscaling fundamentally creates something out of nothing. That's what upscaling is, so it is generative because its quite literally generating "guesses" at what should be there, pixel by pixel.

Its literally the trope in movies where they're reviewing grainy security can footage and someone says "enhance" and its magically a crystal clear image. Its just that we have technology to do that now.

I'd agree there's a semantics argument that using AI for upscaling is different than creating new, but its just that semantics.

Welcome to the Internet. Pontification is all we've got. Now we've got LLMs regurgitating the old pontifications to make new ones.

I came in with your same expectations and found the same shit. Just some opinion formed on the basis of "concern".

To them it's a feature, not a bug.

Former kbiner, but out of the loop on this one. What's I miss?

I'm not up to speed on this issue, but it seems like the solution is to push forward with making the readers work in Wayland? Is there a technical issue with Wayland's design that prevents readers from working properly?

What about bank apps and nfc? Do those work or are you just out of luck if you need them on graphene or lineage?

I agree on WEI, and that's the scary part since crappy companies will demand it in the name of security and everyone gets fucked and the Internet becomes a little less free.

Arguably, if you're compressing the signal wirelessly via Bluetooth, the ceiling for quality is probably in that low couple hundred bucks market. Apple probes people will overpay for something but anything actually better is probably going to be wired.

Exactly. It's always been likely to be broken by someone at some point. Url shorteners are a thing mostly because of twitters original character limit. Or at least that's when they gained popularity.

That's interesting, I'd be curious to read more about that. Do you have any links to get started with? Searching this type of stuff on Google yields less than ideal results.

I hate that you're probably right.
