Back to the point of this thread though, sorry couldn't edit last post, I just moved into my new place so I will be taking some photo's of my new setup as soon as I get a hold of a camera, I have in-fact got a proper 'Workstation' like area now as opposed to the bed and couch :p

Hopefully later on tonight or tomorrow I will get a camera so I'll take some pics :)

For some reason I cant edit my posts, every time I tried lately it just comes up with a msgbox saying 'You dont have permission to edit that post' :/

Ah well, just a few notes I wanted to add, the photo's are **** :p I cant capture the mood lighting i got going on here with the piece of junk camera i got. I use the Bose Lifestyle system for movies, tv, and any other forms of music (parties etc), I use the Valve & Mordaunt Short system for good music, i got a monitor between the speakers (Infocus X1) but its not switched on, and i think thats about it :p

Dear God, this Bose console is so old!!! I know because my dad bought the same like 10 years ago and we still kickass with it :p! But IMO they have a better look than those today, and they still have the quality! (ok, they don't have 3 hundred billion connectors, but in a house, who cares?)

Edit : I wanted to show the virtual desktop of my Mac. here it is :

Now you know how Neowin's foremost (are there others?) insane Mac Zealot likes to surf.

Pretty simple, clean, no clutter, lots of plants. iPod Touch is there as well.

Not seen in image is a Canon Powershot SD1000 (love it), and my trusty Motorola V551. Even though this little (amazingly durable) workhorse of a phone has never let me down, it'll be replaced by the iPhone when it arrives in Canada. I'll miss my little Moto, though. :(

Yea, I think that one is actually about 16 years old, still works perfectly, but the quality sucks, i mean like absolutely terrible, there is such a massive gap between certain frequencies, on movies you can follow the entire dialog of the movie through the sub, dont think I've ever heard anyones voice that resembled a sub. :p

I only use it cause I hear playing movies etc. on valve amps wears the tubes hard.

Water Bong bebeh! And nice set up as well!

:)

Don't you get backache/neckache from leaning over with that setup?
he probably puts it on his lap

Yea I put it on my lap :p

    • EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp by Hamid Ganji The European Commission has ordered Meta to restore third-party AI chatbots’ access to WhatsApp after the tech giant decided to block them from operating on the popular messaging platform. After Meta banned rival AI chatbots from operating on WhatsApp, the European Commission launched an antitrust investigation to determine whether the company had abused its market dominance. As a result of Meta’s decision, third-party AI chatbots, including Microsoft’s Copilot and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, were prevented from operating on WhatsApp. At the time, Meta said it wanted to reserve the WhatsApp Business API for other types of businesses and did not allow rival chatbots to use it. This effectively prevented the WhatsApp ecosystem from being used to distribute rival chatbot services. However, the European Commission has now announced an interim measures decision requiring Meta to restore access to WhatsApp for rival general-purpose AI assistants on the same terms and conditions as before October 15, 2025. The Commission has also asked Meta to maintain that access until the antitrust investigation is concluded. The Commission argues that Meta has used its dominant market position to prevent rival AI chatbots from accessing the WhatsApp Business API. While Meta allowed rival services to return to WhatsApp by paying a fee, the European Commission still considers that arrangement to be a de facto access ban. According to EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera, the fees introduced by Meta are so high that using WhatsApp is no longer economically sustainable for competitors. “It seems that Meta expects to leverage the vast reach and likely dominance of WhatsApp to benefit its own AI assistant and to foreclose rivals,” Ribera said. “We cannot let large digital incumbents leverage their dominance of the past to dictate who in Europe gets to compete and who gets to innovate in AI.”

      I'm fine with a little reasonable promotion of Edge, but the degree which they do it right now I consider extremely unreasonable. 
    • Microsoft AI boss no longer believes that AI will replace human workers

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Microsoft AI boss no longer believes that AI will replace human workers by David Uzondu Mustafa Suleyman, the head of Microsoft AI, recently took back his statements concerning white-collar jobs that he gave to the Financial Times in an interview made back in February, where he claimed that AI would replace office workers within 12 to 18 months. On Monday's episode of The Verge's Decoder, Suleyman recast the technology as more like a helpmate than a tool designed to take over your job. He explained that smaller office duties will "increasingly become digitized, automated" as people generate more digital materials. During the discussion, Suleyman emphasized a "very important distinction" between "tasks" and "jobs" to clarify his previous claims. He argued that his earlier comments only referred to individual actions that people perform at their desks. Suleyman used to work for DeepMind, the research lab he co-founded in 2010 alongside Demis Hassabis and Shane Legg, before he left in 2022 to establish Inflection AI and build an empathetic digital assistant. Microsoft hired him in March 2024 to lead its newly formed "Microsoft AI" division, placing him in charge of consumer products like Copilot, Bing, and Edge. His February comments also detailed plans for Microsoft to achieve self-sufficiency with a $140 billion infrastructure budget to train frontier models, predicting that creating a customized AI will soon feel like creating a podcast or a new blog: The 41-year-old is not the only AI executive who's softened his "AI will replace you" stance. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, last month used X to push back against employment panic by arguing that his startup builds tools to assist humans rather than build replacements. He had previously garnered backlash by suggesting that many modern office roles that AI might replace did not qualify as "real work" in the first place, at least when you compare desk jobs to physical, historical labor like farming.
