Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime. -

Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic. -

Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks. -

It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”) -

As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.

Question
Spectate Swamp
Search text files
-----------------
context display or matching lines only.
hilited matches (max of 6 search elements)
hit counts for all elements searched.
character counts and elapsed times
no prompt box covering the results
fast, just hit enter enter enter (Keyboard friendly)
large font scrolling text 72pt (Screen saver for short stories/joke files)
Option to export the displayed results, to a results file.
(this allows for easy subsearches)
Search Video files
------------------
View quick video clips rather than thumbnails.
Show the first few seconds of every video.
Much much better than those tiny blurry first frames.
Start and stop anywhere in a video clip. (no editing required ever)
Random video with random start point, in slow motion and freeze frame
Music files
-----------
Random mini tunes with or without search keys (uses metadata from the mp3's).
Hit enter for the complete song to play.
Catalogue and play your music within minutes of the download.
Pictures / Screen Captures
--------------------------
High speed display. See those burst of still pictures
that digital cameras do, as they were shot.
Flash through 700+ oldie black and white pictures in 35 seconds
Captioned or not.
I can randomly or sequentially view pictures with my 2 sisters
and their 4 kids. There are 10 such in the family album of 5000+ pics
Random was quickly added when people got tired of seeing the same old
lady at the beginning. Random is a KEY option.
This search is also a notepad application. If you search, you need a means to store text.
Add notes to a text file with or without date and time stamp.
Cut and paste all kinds of text from the net.
(job site info, forum text, website homepage data, copied and pasted to MY files)
It can do search and replace, for major changes to large text files.
Do search and replace right before you do encription, to really mess things up.
Encription is done as a search and replace.
**Desktop search should make your data portable.
Auto-Runs from DVD or CD. On any PC. (Backups come alive)
Runs as a background job. (create your own skins)
navagable, by picking one of the displayed options.
Great for training videos on DVD.
Works as a screen saver, scrolling text, pics, video, music.
(and combinations of all the above)
Random video, random pictures, random music and random text.
Run multiple versions of this program with different settings / defaults
(simply change the program name and put it in it's own folder)
No indexing required. (Indexing is a major limiting factor for most search engines)
Indexing makes it harder to run as a background job.
We arn't searching the entire internet here! Just 1 computer.
Digital video can change everything.
EG. for legacy system backups.
"Video in" a high speed screen display of all the important customer information.
Start and stop anywhere in a video to see the desired data
do this type of video playback in super slow motion.
(hitting enter freezes/restarts the displayed video)
Simple and cheap, DVD's are 25 Cents per.
I use very few file formats: bmp, txt, jpg, mpg, mp3.
Less is best here, 5 or fewer is real good.
It's guaranteed; data won't be portable, if you keep it
in the format of a restrictive application.
see what is even said about "WORD" format at:
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html
Same thing for your emails, spreadsheets, presentations etc
(make a video of the above as a backup) very accessible and portable.
Do screen captures of important reports or step-by-step procedures.
I capture interesting web sites saved as a JPG then
Then copy the text from the homepage and append that to a text file called sites.txt.
This info will be around a lot longer than some of the sites. I'm sure.
I have most of my emails since 1996 as large text files.
This desktop search does all the above and MORE.
Can your desktop search match this. I doubt it.
Searching since the mid 80's with the Vax/VMS search.
Developing this search since 1999 using Visual Basic 5.0
Happy Searching.
