It’s very wild to me that such a large part of the population was willing to throw themselves into a relationship with AI without question. Maybe that says a lot about society and where we are heading. I’ll stick with my local LLM that’s sl

It’s standard practice on the internet when talking about building PCs to mention Micro Center. Either “it’s cheaper if you have a microcenter nearby” or “this same bundle is $50 cheaper at micro center”.

The real decline started after Edward Snowden and all the information that came out about the NSA. It really sparked distrust in the government. Trying to get people to respond to surveys was already hard, why would those general people bel

I actually didn’t say that aren’t that useful. I would argue that I don’t think the payoff is worth the cost. The areas investing unholy amounts of money and passing it among the largest companies are seeing plenty of cash, me and in genera

I have no doubt there are similar stories to yours or to a lesser extent. And while I’m glad you have gotten some relief, what price are we paying as a society? I’m not just talking about the environmental impact alone, what about the socie

Solid read especially for someone not in this field. While everything I’ve learned about LLMs has been pretty interesting, all I can say for sure is that I’m more and more skeptical about wide scale adoption. Consumers are being pushed almo

I want to see the person buying the Neo and pairing it with a new Studio Display.

There are certainly some news outlets that operate like propoganda. I mean Fox comes to mind, if you ever watch you’ll notice they carefully craft their statements and rarely talk about facts, mostly feelings. News is at its core a business

I’m in the same boat. My Boox Go 10.3 is collecting dust. I used it for a while, but I just find it easier to flip back through paper notes as opposed to tapping or swiping through files. I don’t want to connect to work WiFi either on it.

In college I always took notes in class then I would rewrite them and at the same time organize them. In my study groups people would always copy my re-written notes. There was certainly something there aiding in learning, more than just se

That’s been my personal experience. Spend plenty of time looking at all kind of options to optimize my ir my teams workflow. Then just fallback on pen and paper or some very simple excel spreadsheet. Something thinking about being more pro

I just want a decently large screen because I have old eyes. A 6.1” phone works fine for me.

I have memories of going to the library in the 90s to read MacWorld. Then learning that if I did a few clicks and maybe keystrokes you may unlock something with the processor. I can’t totally recall what it would unlock but it was for the A

You have to demonize the government in order to come in and start trashing the place. Obviously there is going to be some waste to trim. But instead they came in, asked zero questions and started arbitrarily cutting contracts and jobs. In

I regret spending the money on the long range Model 3. It’s something I charge every day because I can at home. Sure I could charge it once a week for my commute, but I just charge it up to 80%. I would love this Slate as my commuter car.

Reminds me of a book I just read, The Lifespan of a Fact. Solid read going into fact checking versus telling a story and figuring out where the line should be. Definitely entertaining.

I’ve had a Palma 2 for a few months now. Looks like I have around 30 hours reading on it so far. Literally on use it as a reading device. Sadly it’s less frowned upon to look at a device other than reading a paper book. So I bring it to wor

Sadly as the author stated, it may not matter. But even Tim Cook is giving a million to Trump’s fund. The President is going to the highest bidder, but who cares because big tech will profit right?

I know some cars have the blinking when you are applying sudden pressure to the brakes. To alert people behind them they may be stopping quickly. People use their hazards in some states for the same reason.

You’ve nailed it. I miss my Audi with headlights that moved when I turned the wheel. That alone would fix a lot of the issues of being blinded when coming around a curve. A lot of US pickup trucks just have lights across the whole front en

Just tried to check it out. First boot it crashed, killed app and tried again and now it won’t open. I’ll try and reinstall and do over. iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18.1 Quick edit- I did exactly that and now it works fine. First boot up before

I’m with you, then again Best Practices mean best for your work environment, not all. I’m currently making sure to cultivate an environment where my staff are comfortable sharing information openly. Not all of my people are comfortable anno

It’s definitely not e-ink, it’s a type of LCD. Been reading about it and it seems like users are pretty hyped about it. I don’t really need another tablet, I want a really good writing experience. I’m test driving the Boox Go 10.3 but I m

I like using FancyZones which is in the Microsoft PowerToys suite. That way you can snap things to a 1080p resolution part of your ultrawide screen. My other simple option is just open the laptop screen which is 1080p

No issue here, I don’t find that I go back too far anyway on their podcast. Currently have a subscription so also doesn’t impact me. I’ve always wondered if these podcasts ever make that much money, I for one never click on ads on websites

I really don’t want to watch ad riddled reviews on YouTube. I always went to their site to read an actual article that goes into depth about tech and gave great reviews. Truly a sad day for the internet.

When the site finally worked it was nice to learn of the super note. Never heard of it before and I’m curious when the next iteration of their 10” version comes out. Seems like a good note taking first and e reader second. Which is what I

Unfortunately I assume it’s pretty cost prohibitive for an e ink display with a decent refresh rate. At least one good enough to play games on.

I took my old iPod video and swapped out the hard drive for an adapter that just uses micro sd cards. I suppose you can’t use wireless headphones but it’s now ultra light and the battery life is great.

Maybe, but seems more likely that our over dependence on phones and touchscreens in cars. People have more things to distract them rather than focusing on driving.
