AI isn’t altering databases or knowledge. AI is telling the writer there’s a better way to do this, and the writer has to explicitly change their wording.

You only know to look at a dictionary for alternative wordings if you know there’s a problem. How do you know there’s a problem?

If you ask someone else what if that same someone else uses your regional dialect and not the one that has problems? Your average writer can review every single word used in the dictionary for every single article they edit. But AI can, and that’s something it’s actually good at. You may only know 5 Spanish speakers, but AI knows everything it was trained on.

Why should we use (insert tool) when we did just fine before?

Because when used correctly it can be great for helping you be more productive, and find errors/make improvements. The two exceptions are for grammar which AI does a surprisingly good job with. Would you have gotten mad if they used Grammarly >5 years ago? Having it rewrite an entire article is gonna be a bad idea, but asking it to rephrase a sentence, or check your phrasing for potential issues is a much safer thing. Not everyone who speaks Spanish uses it the same way. Some words are innocuous in some regions, but offensive in others.

If you want good Linux support avoid the Surface at all costs. Holy shit is it a pain to deal with. Yeah there’s Linux Surface, but do you really want to go through that trouble just to get it mostly fully functional?

Or just hit shift F10 and enter “oobe\bypassnro” and let it reboot. Still works on home or pro.

Or just burned too quickly on poor quality media. It seems like as dvd drives got better the media got worse. But 15 years ago they stopped getting better, and the media kept getting worse.

If they’re already into your phone there’s so many legitimate ways to extract your data. The ability to sideload an app won’t impact that.

I can’t speak on which is the best. I haven’t compared them on modern systems.

But what I will say is make sure you’re not artificially limiting your power levels or clock speed too much. Big fat Intel CPUs like that are power hogs when active. They need to reach an idle state. I have a laptop with an i9 11950h which is the same thing. But with the power plan on the lowest I get worse battery life and performance than if I just left it on balanced. But it depends on the workload. If there is no idle then power save might be best. But if you’re browsing the web and not constantly scrolling then balanced might just be better.

Ummm… what?

CXMT (or whoever is sticking the memory onto PCBs) already have increased the prices.

Just like AMD, there’s no reason to actually compete on price when you can offer close enough for 10% less.

Back to the ol pysx GPU days. Except physx made the game cooler.

When Google Fiber came here every ISP shat themselves and dropped prices, and raised speeds. And Google Fiber has been by far the most reliable ISP.

Any AMD system that’s pretty new gets WAY worse battery life on Linux. AMD does some insane optimizations for windows. But it takes a few years before they make their way to Linux.

I think in the last 6 months there’s been some good work on this. But I have a similar AMD 6000 series system to them and I get almost twice the battery life on Linux.

Note, Windows has a “trick” of defaulting to “balanced” mode

That’s probably what most people want on a laptop on battery. Why would I want my CPU running full tilt for nothing? That’d largely why AMDs battery life on Linux is so bad.

“Better” isn’t what I use notepad for. I just want a place to put unformatted text.

unwelcome AI integration

This isn’t an integration. They’re just using AI to write some of the code.

And yet for games they are.

Wait you air dry your keycaps for a full day?

I just put mine in a towel and shake em for a few minutes after manually towel drying the outside.

Although a bingo roller cage thing and a fan might be a good way to dry them quickly.

Could you imagine how the fans would react to a skip button in Elden ring?

RHEL is paid so I guess you could buy that.

What if you like the game, just not that one boss?

Someone submitted it into a form at work like 10 years ago.
