RickyWars1@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in EdgeEnglish5·3 months agoI use it on my laptop because it doesn’t nuke my laptop’s battery like all other browsers. So it’s a bit of a shame.
RickyWars1@lemmy.cato Academia@mander.xyz•Bookshop.org launches Kindle alternative, sends e-book sales to local bookstores1·4 months agoDamn is that expensive though. But I think Amazon sells at a discount to make money on the bookstore.
RickyWars1@lemmy.cato Fediverse@lemmy.world•PixelFed has increased the Fediverse's monthly active users by over 40% in the last few weeks, how do we feel?English8·4 months agoWell it doesn’t seem like there’s been another Reddit exodus, especially from looking at the user numbers for Lemmy. There hasn’t been a big screwup lately like with Meta or Twitter (but I think Bluesky is absorbing the Twitter refugees currently).
When they write “college” in the image I think they mean university, not CEGEP. University is still a good ways from free, being $4k-$5k/yr. And that’s just for in province students, it’s more for non-Quebec but still Canadian students.
In Germany (and maybe the other listed countries but I’m less informed on them), university is free as well. I think it also doesn’t depend which state you’re from.
RickyWars1@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft 365 sees 43% price hike thanks to Copilot — existing customers safe until renewalEnglish5·5 months agoAbsolutely. This has made me acutely aware that my days with MS are numbered.
RickyWars1@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft 365 sees 43% price hike thanks to Copilot — existing customers safe until renewalEnglish66·5 months agoFor existing customers, the price hike won’t be kicking in until plan renewal, and there are options to downgrade the plan. Those who want to avoid using AI can downgrade the plan to the “Classic” or “Basic” Microsoft 365 plans.
Thankfully we can roll back to the “Classic Family Plan” without the AI features. But annoying that they automatically switched plans and I had to switch back. If I didn’t see this article I’d be up for a big price hike when it renewed.
RickyWars1@lemmy.cato Electrical and Computer Engineering@lemmy.world•Good DSP Literature1·6 months agoReally depends what you are into. For general concepts, Discrete-Time Signal Processing by Oppenheim and Discrete Signal Prcessing by Proakis are standard textbooks.
If you’re interested in communication or radar systems, array signal processing is very closely linked with discrete signal processing but with more linear algebra and statistical concepts. Optimum Array Processing by Van Trees is a great textbook for this.
Absolutely love language transfer. At least for Greek it was great, the founder Mihalis is a British Cypriot.
