A phone can do a lot. Much much more than ENIAC era supercomputer (I think you’ll have to get pretty close to the end of the previous century to find a supercomputer more powerful than a modern smartphone)

What a phone can’t do is run an LLM. Even powerful gaming PCs are struggling with that - they can only run the less powerful models and queries that’d feel instant on service-based LLMs would take minutes - or at least tens of seconds - on a single consumer GPU. Phones certainly can’t handle that, but that doesn’t mean that “cant’ do anything”.

You can probably get away with it if you write it in a confusing enough fashion; but you need to make it really confusing - to the point even CPU architecture experts could miss it unless they pay very close attention; and remember that the claims - which are the only part of the patent that has any legal meaning - may be limited by law to a single sentence each, but there is no limit on how cumbersome each sentence is; additionally, semicolons are not sentence terminators; this means that this entire comment I just wrote is technically a only one sentence.

Get a Pixel to use in China and a Xiaomi to use in America.

If you are American, you should buy Chinese tech because the Chinese government is more interested in spying on and controlling its own people than you.

Funny - I assume on one here was actually involved in creating the law that requires identification when buying pornography (or alcohol. Or tobacco) at stores, but we are all considered responsible for it to the point we are hypocrite if we object a similar law?

If someone says they are against that law now, years after it’s already established and spread, it won’t be taken as “I’m generally against the government limiting our freedom to consume what we want” but as “I want to push children to consume porn/alcohol/tobacco”. So no one argues against these laws. But it’s much more feasible to argue against the new laws - a ship that’s still in the port.

30 years from now, when they make the law that neural implants must detect illegal thoughts in the users’ biological brains and block them, you’d make the argument that it’s not fundamentally different than blocking the same topics on the internet - a practice that, by that time, will already be accepted by the general populace.

Roomscale VR when?

Never heard of him

“Bullshit Discriminatory” and “Bullshit Tolerant”

Nah… it’s okay. She won’t be out of touch. Nintendo is going to release these games for the Switch 2 for $80.

It’s still in the AUR though: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/neofetch

I have a prehistoric girlfriend. She mostly hunts and gathers.

Isn’t this the plot of Shimoneta?

It started waaay before Trump was even born.

I’ll name my language with zero letters. Inroducing - .

There are two kinds of Linkedin posters - those who are open about being trolls and those who aren’t.

Plot twist - what Collective Shout wanted all along was to get these specific games for free (and more importantly - without official transactions to prove they’ve bought them)

I’m starting to suspect that maybe there aren’t really turns. Maybe it’s just people interrupting each other’s monologues.

The demon is Microsoft’s AI

“The growth of dark traffic undermines the ability of publishers to fund the production of quality content, or even operate as a business. We must recognise users are not the main driver causing this.”

And Scott Messer, founder of publishing adtech consultancy Messer Media, added: “Dark traffic is unlike anything we have seen before. It’s demonetising publisher content at scale without user consent.

Are they trying to present it as if poor innocent users need to be protected from the vile ad blockers?

I also didn’t mind the two extra buttons, and was a little sad when they went away, because they were largely replaced by the joystick buttons, which I think are hard to use properly.

Weren’t the black and white buttons replaced by triggers? The joystick buttons already existed in the first XBox.
