There's a bunch of AI face generating pictures. I wonder if you can just use those. Or maybe this is just to create a new law to arrest people of uploading fake pictures...

Okay look at the history. Look at the Macworld introduction to Microsoft Office. The Apple community wasn't happy about it. Microsoft made a lot of money and kept themselves from being a monopoly. You think they did that out of the kindness of their hearts?

I bet if we talk about Linux, you're going to bring up that Microsoft joined the Linux Foundation and completely ignoring their anti competitive practices before that.

You make it seem like Microsoft didn't do everything they could to kill Linux and Mac.

That’s a notable increase for Honor’s midrangers as last year’s Honor X60 shipped with a 5,880mAh cell while the X60 Pro featured a 6,600mAh capacity.

Honor X60 Battery Type: Li-Po 5800 mAh Source: GSM Arena

Honor X60 Pro Battery Type: Si/C Li-Ion 6600 mAh Source: GSM Arena

So if they are consistent with their releases last year, the mid rangers won't get a Si/C battery and the flagship will. If that is the case, my guess is cost.

You are correct. AI can give an a completely different answer than its source and they can just blame it on AI. This is true but Google has sway the results given depending on the individual. Obama talks about this and how it contributes to the extreme divide of people of the US.

It steals content from creators while being worse for the environment at the same time. Not the same thing, it is worse.

I worked in education in computer science and basic usage in nearly every age group. When you realize how bad people are at using search engines, you can see why people think they accomplished something using AI. It's like giving a child a calculator saying he can do math now.

Creating search prompts itself is a skill. You wouldn't think so until trying to teach some one logic through search prompts. It is hell, literally my hell. Some people just don't get it like 0 percent.

Differentiating what is a good source and what is a bad source is an even harder skill. People will believe what they want to believe. Google search adapts to the bias of individuals because it keeps people searching. This is why, even though it isn't perfect, engines like duckduckgo are important.

That's why the news that Grok is racist is true. The US government will be even more systematically racist now.

I commented a user's use of "rare". Then you did the same to my comment.

I didn't think how the initial poster use of the word "rare" meant to describe "a matter of popular practice, not difficulty." So I replied back to you.

When someone says "rare operating system", the word "rare" describes "operating system".

Here is the statement again:

Normal people either can’t afford these devices or don’t have time for all the hassle of installing and using a rare operating system on a phone.

In your sentence, "rare" is used to describe "it", a pronoun, which refers to the action "to walk around with an actual tinfoil hat".

Umm... I don't think that's right. I don't think you could ever buy a phone from Google with GrapheneOS.

Minimum wage in Spain is €1,300 per month. A Pixel 9a is under $500 and under €550 and currently on sale for $449 and €500. A couple of hundred can get you a Pixel 9. What exactly is a not obscenely price for a flagship phone to you?

And I don't even understand your second comment. People spend over an hour a day on social media alone.

So the normal person in Spain could buy this phone and the normal person in Spain does have the time to figure out how to install a "rare" operating system. A "rare" operating system that's free and easily copied.

From reddit post:

  1. Raspberry Pi 5 8Gb + Rapberry Pi 5 Active Cooler + Waveshare PCIe to 2-channel M.2 adapter + 2x Samsung 980 500Gb + Waveshare UPS HAT (E) + 4x Molicel INR21700-M50A + Noname RTC battery case.
  2. Runs AlmaLinux 9.
  3. Uses ZFS mirror for storage (You have to build it yourself for aarch64, but it is fairly easy and it runs 9th month without issues).
  4. Can run on it's own batteries for about 14-16 hours.
  5. Primarily used as wireless backup storage, but occasionally has sensors attached and a few services running.

Unfortunately, it is too tall, so it won't fit into cases I can find on online stores.
