The 4070 was released almost 3 years ago, so the driver should be decently stable and not cause that much issues, no matter the distro.

Just know that whatever distro you are choosing, it is a different workflow than Windows and it will take time to get used to it, and there will be some friction. And that’s fine. The first month is the hardest and it gets a lot easier fast.

Take a popular distro because it has a bigger user base and the chances that someone else has already fixed your issue and detailed the steps is a lot bigger than a niche distro.

If you want to easily test a few distro, take a usb key and install Ventoy on it. It will allow you to plug the usb key and drop ISO directly on it and boot from it. It will allow you to easily test distros without having to reformat the usb key each time.

Well it’s a pretty big deal, especially for large power storage.

Absolutely, but the goal of putting that on the package is to make it seem like it is a local product while it is in fact not made here.

Fine. But companies shouldn’t try to deceive customers with a bullshit “Designed in the US”

My very uneducated understanding is that sodium batteries can be produced virtually anywhere.

Not every battery application needs to maximize energy density, so sodium batteries are good where that is the case.

I also did not read about sodium ion batteries characteristics versus lithium ion, so there might also be other use cases where sodium ion batteries are better.

It takes time to scale production and even more time to adopt a new technology.

At least, they didn’t SLAM Microsoft.

I was delighted when I went to a Korean karaoke, and on the machine, Gay Bar from Electric Six was there.

One of my best memories.

Is SimpleX based on Matrix? I have this recollection that it is, but I don’t if it’s a false memory or not.

Doctors are a product of their training. The issue is that doctors are trained like humans are cars and they have tools to fix the cars.

Human problems are complex and the medecine field is slowly catching up, especially medecine targetted toward women, which was pretty lacking.

It takes time to transform a system and we are getting there slowly.

Unfortunately, like many jobs in the past, ours is changing.

I don’t have a crystal ball, so I don’t know what the future hold.

All we can do is be informed about LLMs and futur techs, produce the best outputs with the constraints we have and hope for the best.

Keep your skills up to date, and hopefully find a job where LLMs aren’t shoved down your throat. Or pivot towards something else.

Coachmen had to learn a new job, and it might be our turn.

I don’t hold a lot of hope for the next few years. It’s gonna be rough. All we can be is ready to the best of our abilities.

And for the rich that fucks other rich people.

You know why the code is wrong because you have the experience to see where the issue is and what it is.

If you’ve learned coding with LLMs from the start, you won’t acquire the experience needed to be able to tell what is wrong.

I’ve worked with a client that tried to generate code for a HCI bluetooth device, trying to recreate the full Bluetooth stack, instead of picking the right product from the start, with a working stack.

And that was a client that had technical knowledge, just not for Bluetooth and HCI.

And if you try to tell the AI what’s wrong, it will create bullshit code until it kinda works, adding more issues along the way.

I’m sure that AI will replace coders one day, but LLMs aren’t AI and they are neat ready to write decent, complex code.

It’s a mega corpo. Laws don’t apply to them silly you.

Depends on what access you have on your PC.

My two steps are always the same

1. debloater
2. i install chocolatey and use that to manage my applications if possible.

Then, depending on your work requirements, I would deactivate OneDrive if not used.

It’s a holdover from retail where had to physically hold your product and had limited space.

Now, the shareholders demand even more money and Apple has complete control on the OS and they are signaling that you can’t do shit and they will take whatever they want.

They can fight anyone in courts, and as long as the laws have no teeth, they will get away with it.

No worries, no offense taken.

Hopefully people will see discussions like ours and learn a little something about how things work.

I understand that. Just like Lemmy where all the instances that are federated have a copy of the posts and comments you make.

However, you have the option to create your own instance and federate or not with any community you want.

If there is one mega instance, deferating from it effectively kills the social media. Thus my train of thoughts.

More and more people are moving away from tech giants because of their shitty behaviour. So I think it is important to note how the data is used and stored, thus my follow-up question.

Thanks for the detailed response.
