for $200 you can get a regular pc these days. so why go thin?

Probably because Windows won't be an option (Costs, hell we talking legally here at least...), Linux will be way to complicated for people like that, pc's will probably blow over with virus trojans and stuff, and Google takes care of that and im sure it'll be a pretty Easy system to use for those people..., i really like the idea.

A world ran by Google?, i wouldn't mind...

And a PC without CPU like your Ass without the hole?, now thats fun :laugh: :laugh:

Not diversing topic to poor and rich top so not arguing much on it...different people different opinion....

Which Hundustan Times was this in? What day and what page? Cause I get the Hindustan Times and I never came across it?

HT mumbai edition, 1st page in the business section...the info was onthe front page also just above the name HT..it was on 15th Dec.....

I admire efforts like this to bring technology to poor countries. If you are interested in similar efforts I suggest you to do a search for the 100 dolar laptop or the AMD's PIC

Intel is calling the $100 laptop a toy, but I think it is great! Hell, I think every laptop should have a handcrank. I'd definately buy these things if they came to the USA for $150-200

Lucky for Deep and HT, as even Google is not sure/confirmed this news yet publicly. HT correspondents are "spies" I guess ;)

India isn't a poor country, but, what would you call a country where almost its entire population lives in pretty obnoxious conditions and still has the black plague? A bad country?

My dear Portuguese friend, would you mind getting your facts correct first.

Go to the CIA Factfile of countries and compare (using graphs) most of the countries with various parameters like, economic growth, socio-economic patterns, scientific advancement, agricultural, infrastructure, technology et al. For a change you would find India better placed among developing countries and on some aspects at par with "developed nations."

Regarding obnoxious conditions and black plague, is just the one side of coin which foriegn documentary makers are showing to the world to "make a fast buck" or "humbly depciting their love towards downridden."

I'm sorry for any intrusion, but I was tempted to say this because some stataments were grossly untrue in nature in this whole discussion. Thanks!

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
