But that’s how politics work nowadays. You need to assume that every group is homogenous and when someone from that group points out that it isn’t, you call them a hypocrite.

That’s honestly one of the best parts about it. Reading error messages and thinking logically is boring compared to trying to guess how this stupid LLM got the idea to spit out what it did.

That’s not a translation problem, so LLMs are terrible for it.

Always use the right tool for the job. If there are a lot of nails to be hammered, you need a guy with a hammer.

Any task that can be expressed as mostly translation is a good task to try with an LLM.

And you know what? Stakeholders tend to love LLMs, so have fun with your complicated problems while I build them by using the ancient technique of slapping some boilerplate together and combining it with the new ways of pasting error messages into chatgippity.

Do you have location history enabled? If so, that’s why the play services use your location periodically.

It might not be doing that when the device is sleeping after that update, maybe that’s intended.

I’d call it flatswitch.

Entropy says no.

Energy likes to be heat and the only way to get heat energy out of something is by having a temperature differential. ACs spit out air that’s hotter than the environment so you could theoretically turn some of that back into useful energy, but the cost of doing that outweighs the benefits.

Numpad * and / are good for that, I touch type but always have to look at those.

Ah yes, gotta love /company/product_abc table names.

I read that as either “I don’t have premium” or “I can’t run this data through chatgpt for whatever reason”.

Free chatGPT is viable for writing scripts in any case.

Good luck trying to install tesseract and a deep learning framework in termux.

Android won’t be easy, but you can slap together a python script that runs tesseract or easyOCR and runs it through a pretrained LLM like T5. Those are well-known and well-documented, so chatGPT can probably write the script for you without too many hiccups.

First of all, tips will automatically get enabled during some updates.

Secondly, tips notifictions telling you to use microsoft crap are not the only ads. You get fullscreen ads for office after booting that are made to look exactly like an installer, you get edge literally spamming you with popups when you try downloading another browser (that’s closer to malware than an ad but I’ll let it count).

You get ads in the settings menu as well and if you try to edit a video like you could on windows 7, you get the “fuck you, pay a subscription”.

You also get ads in your start menu and of course, don’t forget the start menu search that will rather show you a bing page full of ads than actually search for your files.

Please stop defending this bullshit, it benefits no one but microsoft and is actively making the world a worse place.

I’d say firefox doesn’t qualify as OS but I get your point, distros do ship it by default.

The good thing is that those ads are just defaults, not permanently baked in. I can get rid of them in about 2 minutes. Mozilla doesn’t sell your usage data so they need another way of funding themselves and I don’t think there’s a better way to do it.

The atheism community is such a circlejerk that I decided to block it. So, congratulations I guess.

At least they use that to sell you the hardware for cheap. Microsoft doesn’t provide anything of value like that. In fact, they charge people for the OS and then have the audacity to add ads.

Any microsoft application. Constant bugs, crashes and a tendency to break everything if you accidentally use them in any other way than microsoft intended.

Also, ads in a fucking operation system? I don’t see how anyone can find that acceptable.

If they still ship with an X session and just select wayland by default, sure. But if they don’t, I think switching distros is easier than installing it on ubuntu.

Ubuntu uses wayland, which can cause issues with stuff like that. Try using a distro that comes with X instead.

Nvidia updates still break things, but it’s a lot less often and usually an easy fix by rolling back the driver.

Handwriting but digital. I used to use a 2in1 laptop (Fujitsu T935, the weird mechanism is a great conversation starter) for that before I eventually stopped handwriting altogether, but I can see how a tablet is more convenient because you don’t have to deal with windows BS or make linux work well with a touchscreen. An ARM SoC also helps a lot with weight and battery life at the cost of not having a full computer.
