I’m not so paranoid, but at the same time, will it actually be useful? This sounds like a way to generate a mountain of data with minimal benefit. I don’t really trust AI at the moment to be able to help me with some vague recollection of work that was done 3 weeks ago, for example (I go through a lot of cases each month).

Oh yea, I tried that too, nope, just simply can’t compare. That’s why Adobe still gets my money as much as I don’t want to give it to them. Luckily the Photography plan hasn’t increased in price… yet.

I’ll still be using Windows (no time for Linux), but really, why does the user have to do this for a pleasant experience? MS shouldn’t be hostile towards their users.

Yea, that was my take as well. Try RawTherapee, they said. Nope, inferior, there were some photos where I could spot them in full-screen view, not even at 100%.

Don’t forget, control the sale of data too. Audits etc to make sure they comply with privacy safeguards, and so on.

This is just pandering as well as, I suspect, to give a corporate donor a profit-making business.

That’s just a you thing, the two I mentioned are earbuds.

I have earphones that are 15-20 years old (UE Triple-fi 10s and Yuin PK2s, the first wave of Chi-fi products), 2-3 year (or even 5) lifespan for audio products is insane.

Technically, it’s easier, because there were 0 in the past. :P But yes, the variety of choice is dazzling!

Late to this, but you can’t call tactiles “brown” anymore; ever since Cherry’s patent expired some 10 years ago the market has exploded. Right now I’m typing on a franken tester board with some 30 tactiles of different make and model, and I barely have scratched 20% of the tactile switches available on the market, by my estimation.

I’ve missed this thread for a few weeks already (as in, I didn’t see it). Completed Disco Elysium twice since then, amazing game! Very sad that there’s not going to be a sequel; the world is fascinating, as is the style of gameplay.

What are the keyboards she is using now? Did she express any preferences about them? What typewriter is she using?

Budget and location might make things a little tight, HMRC really loves collecting their due.

Well, I saw this coming and got a new 2TB SSD before 11.11 even. Though now thinking if I should have gotten 4TB instead. xD

Also, this kinda is like collusion, no?

Great, so it’ll take AI to set 16GB as minimum.

I still shudder that there are machines still being sold with 8GB RAM, that’s just barely enough.

This is why I don’t like the Fediverse as much. Can you believe that loon got so many upvotes? Describes the average mentality around these parts, what a turn off.

Odd, it’s already gone on sale a few times where I am.

I’m sure there’ll only be people who read the headlines, so here’s what’s going on:

Overall shipments decreased by 40 million, but there were two companies who made gains within the top 5: Apple, who shipped 8 million units more, and Transsion, who shipped 22 million units more. Samsung dropped 40 million units, similar to the overall shipments. Looks like Transsion made the most of it during this dip, taking away marketshare from other Android phone makers.

No discount on Amazon etc? I can get it for ~US$250 already, where I am

Yea, the moment hotswap and a degree of customisability is called for, a lot of the mainstream “niceties” tend to be dropped.

Really love this community, so one-dimensional and not willing to accept alternate views, and can’t wait to twist words in people’s mouth to make themselves feel better intellectually superior.

Good luck in growing this community.

Fairphone also deliberately chose an industrial variant of the Snapdragon 778G just so they could get by the issue mentioned by nyan.
