Don’t worry, they’ll sell you new software for another $50.00/m/certificate to help with the new certificate fiddling you now have to do monthly. It didn’t make sense for them to release it until they pushed through the 45 day window change through backchannels.
If it didn’t cost so much and the hinges and screens were as reliable as a phone without them, I’d buy it.
Having a big screen in the size of a normal phone would be great.
At the current prices and reliability though, the market is sure to be small.
My understanding is that’s normal on all foldable. It can be more or less, but it’s on all of them.
They sell those too
The same principal has been tried with crypto mining to reduce waste / cost.
Capture the heat and use it elsewhere like to heat the building.
Downside for heating buildings though is unless you’re doing it somewhere where it’s always cold, you eventually still end up with heat you can’t use, and at that scale, there’s better heating choices. I heard the city of vancouver was looking into heating a swimming pool with it, at least that would have a constant use.
Then you still end up with the issue of the mining cards only being good for 2-3 years before the tech improves and they aren’t mining efficiently anymore, which then just leads to more e-waste.
But imagine if the cards themselves had a really long useful life or were super cheap and easily recyclable, we could put miners in things like space / baseboard heaters which were already going to be doing resistive heating and then gain something from that instead of just heat.
Imagine doing something like having a GPU based baseboard heater that folds proteins whenever it’s on, where it doesn’t become completely obsolete in a couple years. If the chips were cheap enough it’d be way better than just doing heat.
Edit: Taking the idea further… imagine if governments mandated reuse of the heat generated by data centers instead of piping it outside? You want to build a data center here? Build a public pool and heat the building / water with your excess heat. Then that commercial zone also gets a fitness center for anyone nearby.
It’s been a few days since this was posted, has google killed it yet?
Ya, that’s fair. If I was doing something I didn’t care about time on, it did work. And we weren’t talking hours, it it could be many minutes though.
The situation is tragic… their attempt to hide behind their ToS on that is fucking hilarious.
It does work, but it’s not really fast. I upgraded to 96gb ddr4 from 32gb a year or so ago, and being able to play with the bigger models was fun, but it’s not something I could do anything productive with it was so slow.
Lol dude.
The text insertion is being done by LLMs now in major IDEs. It can be local or cloud based.
Keep your head in the sand if you want.
JetBrains is offering it in their IDEs as well and they are big. You’re right that it’s becoming very common now, and it is LLM based.
Friends at uni handled that problem by disallowing landscape view instead of handling it hahah
😭
Such a tragic and common ‘solution’ because it doesn’t actually solve it, it just delays it until someones minimizes the app for 30 minutes and re opens it, or one of the many many other ways that also trigger it.
I’ve had some apps that I do lock to portrait, but I would disable that flag on debug builds, since rotating the phone was the easiest way to test for some of those bugs. I didn’t worry about a good looking UI since it’d be locked in portrait, I just used it to test for bugs.
Pretty sure there was one over 100k file at one of my old workplaces. It kept growing and growing and was the most critical file in the business. Like if that file suddenly vanished, the business would be done or shut down for at least a year, maybe two kinda thing. Re-certifying the output of that file would probably take 6 months alone.
It had a partner file, also very important, but not as, which was much smaller around 20k-25k
For anyone who knows and understands Android development, process death, and saved state…
The previous dev had no understanding of any of it, and had null checks with returns or bypassing important logic littered all over the app, everywhere.
I could only assume he didn’t understand how all these things were randomly null or why it was crashing all the time so he thought oh, i’ll just put a check in.
Well, you minimize that app for a little bit, reopen it, and every screen was fucked visually and unusable, or would outright crash. It was everywhere. This was before Google introduced things like view models which helped but even then for awhile weren’t a full solution to the problem.
It was many many months of just resolving these problems and rewriting it the correct way to not have these problems.
I had some absolutely beautiful RxJava2 chains in an app I worked on once. Can definitely be abused and done poorly though.
The first time something goes wrong with that complicated setup, it probably pays for a decade half a century or more of it’s fee.
You can also use a post-install “Playbook” to rip all the adware and spyware out of Windows
Does that actually persist across forced updates? I know they’ve been known to re-install things on updates before.
I wonder how long ill be staying on my AM4 motherboard… those updated CPUs for gaming that AMD came out with might be my only option for a long time.
I went to a tech event recently and got to chat with other other tech people, and it’s been awhile since I’ve been able to do that. We nerded out talking about caching. It was great.
Wouldn’t NVIDIA care? They now own part of the company in exchange for that hardware?
If they go bankrupt, nvidia loses their stake in a company, and it all falls apart. GPUs won’t stay this expensive if this implodes.
OpenAI though, can only go on for as long as their venture capitalists are willing to support it.
I’m not convinced the current LLM architecture can ever make an AGI, but it a can be useful and be made more useful. There could come a point where it’s usefulness and it’s short comings reach a profitable point that people will accept.
What could also help is nvidia being able to come out with more power efficient chips as well. It could go a long way to solving at least one of the problem.
