The purpose of the og razr clamshell was to extend the small device into something that reached both your ear and your mouth; not so much to have an increased screen surface/working space. Now we're trying to fold the phablets int

Considering I have most of my friends living abroad and how little I get to see other people (especially the ones that would use this app), I won't even bother downloading it. I don't need an app to feel lonely...

Given that a lot of things happen in the browser, I think it wouldn't be too crazy. There are even distros that look like Windows if you're after that. What part of it do you think isn't ready for this scenario? (honestly cur

The site seems to use gradio (which from what I've experienced in the past is quite slow). All those domains can be avoided just using an ad blocker, I suggest ublock origin.

Well, it's a starting point for songwriters. We won't get amazing solos and clever mind-bending lyrics (yet?). One thing I love about these AI music generators is that you can take the exact same lyrics and hear them in a lot of d
