We have one car and I often choose my ebike.

No car, no problem.

Oh damn, you’re right.

Correction: the iPhone 16 does support physical SIM.

The unstable is named Sid, after the kid next door who liked to blow up toys.

To be fair, the paid version of Davinci comes with the missing codecs. It’s only the free version that people have trouble with x264/x265.

In the US, a lot of Lowes Hardware Stores use Linux on their employee computers. Most movie theater projectors are running CentOS, and most movies that come in on hard drives are formatted to Ext2.

Her character in the Waterboy was it for me.

There’s still a few edge cases that Flatpak is not great for. The Flatpak version of Kdenlive video editor can’t see Whisper, which it uses to generate subtitles. The Appimage and native builds work flawlessly.

I’m assuming these problems will be addressed eventually but it takes time.

I always recommend older (2-3 years behind) thinkpads and Dell latitudes. Most people don’t need latest and greatest, far more bang for you buck, and they’re relatively easy to repair.

Plus, it doesn’t hurt to keep a perfectly good machine out of a landfill.

You might be about to just run a native 2fa application like Authenticator.

Outside of that, Waydroid is an option.

Those server farms are because the needs of corporations might just be different from the needs of regular users.

I’m running a 8 GB LLM model locally on my PC that performs better than 16 GB models from just a few months ago.

It’s almost as if technology can get better and more efficient over time.

Our family had been trying to minimize our random gift giving. Too much waste when you try to guess what someone wants. So many gifts get tossed on the trash every year. It’s actually very damaging to the environment.

This year it was all about making our favorite dishes, buying each other tickets to events that we want to see together, and only buying the things we know each other wants.

I mean, that’s already where we are. The future is going to be localized.

It’s not like that though. Newer phones are going to have dedicated hardware for processing neural platforms, LLMs, and other generative tools. The dedicated hardware will make these processes just barely sip the battery life.

This technology will be running on your phone within the next few years.

Exactly. Just because you live in a tiny town with less than 200 people doesn’t mean the rest of the country does. In fact, the majority of Americans live in an area that could seriously benefit from better public transit and cycling and in turn less cars.

Idiot

Ah, so you already know you’re wrong.

Some applications take some time to load up visual elements that you don’t need before you can start using it. When you got a lot of work to do sometimes that just slows you down.

A lot of CLI programs do one thing and do it well while also working excellently in custom scripts.

Funded by the EV industry

EV industry: 1 billion in annual revenue
Oil industry: 5 trillion in annual revenue

That’s all anecdotal. Everything in your list I can do without a car. Especially take a walk. I literally just walk out the front door.
