Last year, the FCC announced upcoming labeling rules for internet service providers (ISPs). These rules require, among other things, that all fees added to the base service fee for internet service, be individually listed on the bill. ISPs didn't like the idea of these rules and said so. This week, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) responded to complaints by simply telling the companies, too bad, sad story.

Stalkerware apps banned by Google, unless you have a good excuse (http://plughitz.live/u/3472)
One of the common complaints against Google Play is the store's willingness to allow apps with malicious intent to be listed for sale. While some apps steal data directly, such as a solitaire game accessing and uploading your contact list, others are even more covert in their theft. One class of apps, called stalkerware, has been a consistent pain in the neck of Android users. These apps have operated in the daylight, right under Google's nose, but not any longer, as Google has officially banned these apps - mostly.

New product launches are often fraught with problems, from limited supplies to system failures. In the early days of iPhone launches, it was common for people to be turned away because there was no product available for customers. It got worse when 3rd party retailers got involved in the process. This week's launch of information about, and subsequent preorders for, the PlayStation 5 harken back to those days of complete sales chaos.

WHAT
what-to-look-for-when-setting-up
This week, Avram Piltch discusses his experience updating his monitor array using a used monitor and non-standard mounts.
http://piltchpoint.live/
Live Discussion
Powered by PureVPN (http://piltchpoint.live/purevpn)
The most important and often most underrated aspect of your computer setup is your monitor or ideally monitors. That's the aspect that you're looking at all day long, so if you can get a better monitor with better picture quality, that's a major improvement to your life. If you can improve your screen real estate with more monitors or better resolution screens, you can make your productivity better. For gaming, if you can improve your refresh rate, you'll be able to play better.
For his home office setup, Avram has been working with 2 4K UHD monitors on the bottom and 2 HD monitors on the top. When the holidays rolled around, that meant time for some new monitors at a potentially great price. He decided to get some additional 4K screens to replace the HD screens initially but decided to look for some really quality monitors to go on the bottom and move the current screens up to the top. He was looking for screens with great color and brightness - ideal for the image work he does all day. But it has not been the easy task he had hoped for.
What to look for
If you're looking for a really high-end monitor, such as a high refresh rate or high color replication, there are some ways to get a monitor cheaper. One way to do this is to look for a used monitor coming off of a corporate lease. You can find a few quality resellers on eBay that deal with used monitors coming out of offices when the company's lease expires and the hardware goes back to the leasing company.
Now, you might be skeptical to purchase a used monitor because, in general, used computer equipment is a sketchy prospect. Video cards and SSDs, for example, are a scary product category to get involved with used, unless you know the seller personally. However, with monitors, the risk is fairly low. LED backlighting is the component with a perishable lifespan, and those arrays can run from 80k to 100k hours. At 8 hours per day, that's over 30 years of performance before an issue. Of course, other components can go bad - like power supplies and capacitors - but a used monitor won't be any more or less likely than a new one.
However, you don't want to purchase just any monitor used. The price difference between a used monitor and a new monitor should be significant enough to be without the manufacturer's warranty. If you're saving $20, go with the new unit. But, in some cases, we've seen savings of over $300 or more, making it a great deal for high-end art and gaming monitors.
If you're building a monitor array, one feature to look at closely is the placement of the mounting plate on the monitor. Not all models place them in the center - some put them lower on the panel. If you're mixing and matching models, you'll be unable to create a proper array if the mounts are in different locations.

PRANA
pranaq's-tiptrack-sleep-tracker-for
#ces2024 #ceslive #techpodcasts
The PranaQ TipTrack is a sleep tracker made to be worn on the fingertip overnight, giving users a detailed sleep report on an accompanying app the next day.
http://plughitzlive.com/ces
During CES 2024 PranaQ (https://pranaq.com/) introduced a new product called TipTrack, an AI-powered sleep tracker designed for accuracy. The marketing director of the company, Alexandra Jones-Kuo, explains that the device is worn on the fingertip overnight to collect the most accurate data. The thin skin on the fingertip allows for precise data collection, making it a more accurate option compared to other wearable devices like rings or wristwatches.
The name "PranaQ" is derived from the concept of wellness, with "Prana" representing a chakra associated with wellness and "Q" referencing the measurement of wellness, similar to IQ and EQ. This shows that the company is focused on providing a holistic approach to improving sleep quality.
AI-powered sleep tracker for accuracy
One of the main features of TipTrack is its AI-powered sleep coach. This specialized chatbot is able to analyze the user's sleep patterns and provide personalized recommendations in real time. By collecting data on blood oxygen levels, heart rate, temperature variability, and even recording snoring or breathing disturbances, TipTrack is able to provide a comprehensive sleep report to help users improve their sleep quality.
The design of TipTrack also prioritizes comfort. The device is coated with silicone to prevent slipping and is breathable for a comfortable night's sleep. The adjustable strap comes in three different sizes to ensure a proper fit for all users. Additionally, wearing the device on the non-dominant hand is recommended for those who fidget during sleep, as it may reduce movement and improve data accuracy.
PranaQ promotes better sleep
During the conversation, the company representative mentioned that their target demographic is quite large, as almost everyone struggles with some form of sleep issue. Whether it be difficulty falling asleep or feeling constantly tired, PranaQ believes their product can help address these common problems.
Overall, TipTrack offers a unique and innovative solution for tracking and improving sleep quality. With its focus on accuracy, comfort, and personalized recommendations, it has the potential to revolutionize the way we monitor and optimize our sleep patterns. As technology continues to advance, AI-powered devices like TipTrack are paving the way for a more connected and informed approach to health and wellness.
The availability of TipTrack is set for April 1st, with a price of $199 for the device and a $10 monthly subscription fee for access to the Gen AI Sleep Coach. While the device is currently only available in one color, it is likely that more options will be available in the future. To learn more about PranaQ and its products, individuals can visit the company's website. The website provides detailed information about the device and where to purchase it.
Conclusion: PranaQ improves sleep without discomfort
In conclusion, PranaQ's (https://pranaq.com/) product offers a promising solution for those looking to enhance their sleep quality. With a focus on wellness and personalized recommendations, the company is dedicated to helping individuals achieve better sleep. As technology continues to evolve, products like PranaQ's device are paving the way for a more connected and informed approach to health and wellness.

It's no secret that governments around the world have been weary of companies from China, especially technology companies. Fears over ties between Chinese companies and the Chinese Communist Party (the ruling party in the country) have led to investigations and sometimes outright bans on certain brands. Since the administration change in the US, it looked as if a new, softer approach towards China was on the horizon, but that stance has changed quickly as more companies in the US and abroad are being challenged.

This week, Avram Piltch discusses Auto-GPT, what it's intended to do, and shows off its underwhelming operation.
http://piltchpoint.live/
Live Discussion
Powered by PureVPN (http://piltchpoint.live/purevpn)
In the last few months, we've seen a lot of focus on generative AIs, also known as plagiarism engines (https://plughitz.live/e/2966). As the models advance, so do the systems that get built around them. This week's internet focus is on a ChatGPT wrapper called Auto-GPT, which allows you to build chained tasks for ChatGPT.
What is Auto-GPT?
Auto-GPT is a task-oriented wrapper for ChatGPT, an open-source generative AI. It allows users to quickly and easily define tasks for ChatGPT, such as question answering or summarization. The Auto-GPT system is designed with ease of use in mind, allowing users to rapidly design and deploy conversational applications without having to write complex code. Auto-GPT also provides a range of features to customize the behavior and output of ChatGPT, including the ability to define custom responses, enable natural language generation, and add new tasks from templates.
The system can be used via the project's website, but it is more commonly used when installed locally. It can be run on Windows, Linux, or macOS, though it is a little less attractive in this instance. To use it, you will need an account with ChatGPT, as well as an API key. It is important to note that API keys get a limited number of requests, so use the system sparingly.
The primary usage is to give the system a series of goals which it then uses the underlying language model to accomplish in order. It will then produce a series of steps in order to accomplish the goal. Normally it will ask for permission to take each step in its process, but you can batch approve the requests.
Avram's previous test
Using Auto-GPT, Avram created a process to research the best How To guide to produce, write the guide, and then export the result as a text document. The system decided that the topic should be about customizing the Start menu in Windows 11. Using a PC Mag article as its basis, the system created a guide. However, it took 20 minutes before a final result was created. This is because the system was continually displeased with its own work.
In one instance, it said that it needed user feedback on the guide before it could call it complete. Avram gave it permission to get that user feedback, which only took a few seconds. This seems less like it got user feedback and more like the incident where an AI tricked a user into filling out a Captcha by claiming it was a blind person.
No matter the process it went through, the end result was terrible and inaccurate. The whole thing came in around 50 words, with step titles and no actual description. But, even the steps were wrong. The system did not understand the difference between the Start menu and Start11 (https://fave.co/41GLeBC), a product from Stardock which helps improve the customization of the Start menu. So, when all was said and done, the output was an inaccurate ripoff of an existing article which would help no one.

CL360
cl360-is-a-bright-lighting-idea-for-360
#ces2021 #ceslive #techpodcasts
Properly lighting a photo is always complicated, but even harder with 360 cameras. CL360 is a light designed specifically to fix this problem.
http://plughitzlive.com/ces
One of the growing trends in digital photography and videography is 360. There are a lot of ways to take advantage of this medium, but it also produces a number of unique challenges. The biggest issue has been in lighting. You can't set up a whole big room or yard full of lighting in order to light your photos correctly, so what do you do? The CL360 Camera Light (https://www.cameralight360.com) is the solution to this problem.
If you have used a 360 camera, you know that they generally sit on a tripod or monopod. They then produce their 360 photos or videos, editing out the very bottom of the frame, thus eliminating the majority of the mounting hardware. That is exactly where the CL360 Camera Light finds itself - under the camera. It takes its place between the camera and the mounting solution and produces a very bright wash light in all directions. It can be used as an always-on solution for video, or as a flash for still photos.
The idea here, of course, is to make the quality of your projects better. There is nothing worse than a photo or video that is too dark to be seen. It is even worse when the media is being used in a professional or production setting. For example, anyone who has looked to purchase a house has seen a 360 photo of the rooms in the home that are absolutely dreadful. Besides being placed in the wrong positions, which can only be fixed by training, they are also dark. It makes sense since the houses usually have no power, but adding proper lighting can make the experience better. The same holds true when looking at videos in VR that are produced in a darker environment, such as outside at night.
The CL360 Camera Light is currently in final testing and is hoped to be on the market by mid 2021. For more information and to get updates on production, check out the company website (https://www.cameralight360.com).
