Well that’s just a day one return then and an openbox discount for the next person

Can I have what your mother is smoking then?

Here (UK) a friend has wasted over a grand on some AI food prep nonsense thing.

In our culture this is understood to be a sign of deep seated emotional distress. And in accordance with our culture we ignore their distress and bring up the weather, as is tradition.

I’ve been feeding a bunch of documents I wrote into gemini last week to spit out some scripts for validation I couldn’t be arsed to write. It’s done a surprisingly comprehensive job and when wrong has been nudged right with just a little abuse…

I’m still all fuck this shit and can’t wait for the pop, but for comparison openai was utterly brain dead given the same task. I think I actually made the model worse it was so useless.

It’s so obvious I didn’t even need to be British to understand you are being totally serious.

Also the ‘price cap’ in the UK mainly just guarantees a minimum percentage profit added on top of what is otherwise a bunch of assumptions largely provided by the energy companies.

Then some how their costs almost always come in under the assumed numbers increasing their profit further, they don’t need to innovate cos their money is guaranteed.

Also the profit percentage added went up recently, because…

Homeworld 3

Oh no wait that’s the opposite…

I would think the framework would be somewhere around twice the price per performance but we won’t know until release.

Seems like if you’re leaning framework a self build makes more sense. I don’t see the value proposition of a framework desktop if you’re technically literate enough to be on lemmy.

I wish I could go back and never experience it before PL. It’s what it should have been at release, took me ages to get around to trying it after the broken and underwhelming early versions because the main story was long and linear. I’m glad I did though, it’s an entirely different experience

I had an n900, it was my worst best phone. The software was often arse, the resistive screen was arse, but that keyboard was god tier.

If someone made a modernised version without a bunch of slop I’d buy 2 today just incase they went out of production.

I ran fedora flawlessly for about 5-6 years on one system and it was great until one day it just shat itself with an update and I couldn’t fix it. A reinstall would have been fine no doubt but took the opportunity to hop again. Think it was 41 that caused it.

Anyway I still rate it highly despite that, surprised it made it to the bottom of anyones list.

I really like KDE and haven’t used cinnamon since very soon after it first released (pre 2010??)

I should give it another go soon, I do feel like I’ve been on kde so long I don’t even know what I’m missing, except I tried gnome again and it’s still not for me.

I use Arch BTW (cachyos)

Is ‘I run arch’ your entire personality…?

All my wurkkos torches all fully anodised aluminium

I pirated it at some point, it’s was as expected, stuffed with repetitive boring tasks to increase playtime. Didn’t get far before deleting it.

Oh and driving was still beyond broken over a year past release

It’s on the main board, if you take your phone apart you can see where the pin hole leads. I agree it should have been a daughter board with the loud speaker. There are actually 3 mics on the fp4 but seems the bottom primary mic had the issues. It’s a huge shame because I’ve replaced the USB C about half a dozen times as I abuse it, done the screen, ear speaker and battery too.

I’ll see how the jolla is once it comes out, if that’s got issues I’m still happy to support the project but may also get a new FP. These are risks we take supporting the smaller players in the market, but FP support has been good. I just never bothered to report the mic because I’ve had it for years and it’s a recent development.

I’m also fortunate that spending 500€ on a phone as a bit of an experiment is fine by me, but for so many it’s a big outlay so it’s not acceptable.

Children is all US Republicans seem to be able to think about…

Sometimes I like to play a game on max difficulty, sometimes I choose easy chill mode so I’m all for games having a wide difficulty scale of options.

This just seems stupid, and more like they can’t be arsed to balance a bunch of difficulties so just slap some AI slop in there and call it done.
