Cringe. How on earth this guy was elected again?

And some still claim blocking ads on YouTube is immoral..

Switched to Linux Mint last year. Works like a charm and is pretty ready out of the box

I think Garmin is doing pretty interesting outdoors models, however I prefer Casio due to simplicity and... nostalgia

The new abl-100, besides more wearable size could have a nice tinkering potential

Google, if you hear, please open source Stadia

I can relate. My perception is that a company is for me, not the other way around. This really flips how work is handled.

And yet it still grows

Some other countries banned tiktok too, e.g. India

Integration will likely be the biggest growth driver for Gemini, I guess.

P2P is such an underrated tech

The copilot feature is pretty handy.

Bing is ok. DDG is pretty much its anonymized version.

We need devices fully under control of users. Neither Apple, nor Meta should be able to sniff aground once the device lands in costumer's hands

We need to go back to local-first software. I'd be happy to pay premium for a device, which is truly my, without big tech sniffing all my data or deciding what can I do with it

Despite the standardization, my micro-USB devices are still going strong. From Apple perspective, that's one less proprietary connector to manage

Watching hobby channels every now and then is very refreshing. I wish YT would recommend me more of those

Running games was the only thing holding me back. I was surprised how far Linux has come. 95% of my work is done in a browser, so I can't comment on any software dependencies.

"Today's TV selection has a serious dependency on advertisements and user tracking"

Pretty much like every device we own. We need to go back to local-first software. I'd be happy to pay premium for a device, which is truly my, without big tech sniffing all my dataor deciding what can I do with it

"any speech being made on TikTok can instead be made on other platforms"

Tiktok is not banning certain topics, as other platforms do

The elephant in the room, is that content on Tiktok is served algorithmicaly, so if majority of population prefer to watch brainwash content, it's due to their choice, not algorithm's

Digital watches in general have their charm https://youtu.be/mDVmdgao3RE?si=sfpEEkri1mmOvdAV

There are g-shocks with bracelets. I have a model with a plastic one.

Ryzen mini pcs seem to beat this in most of scenarios. Does anyone see clear advantages?

From Google's side, I think they're in a heavy monetization mode. Making the product worse by stuffing it with ads is one thing, but also the content on the web has deteriorated quality-wise. I don't have the data, but I saw somewhere that the majority of traffic is video. People aren't surfing the web anymore, they're relying on a few big platforms to deliver content to them. Finally, quality information on the web is no longer free.

"As awareness of data privacy issues grows, more users are turning to open-source alternatives like Linux"

I'd love to see Linux for mobile devices just because of that reason. Old school "what happens on device, stays on device"

Open source alternatives means that it will become difficult or close to impossible to monetize llms. It also means that no clear hegemony will occur. Fragmentation might be very beneficial for the status quo.

3rd party got unsupervised access to kernel? I'd say it's even worse then

I just wanted to mention that Microsoft has 3 tiers of Windows beta releases before changes are pushed to production. I can't comprehend how this wasn't noticed before.

'Some days when I’m not getting anything done, I’ve got this lingering guilt that I’m having a “zero day”'

I had this and after many years of treating myself that way, I treat myself kindly. It's a toxic approach and the easiest way to burnout. It's OK not to do anything.

I'm intrigued by those comments about smartwatches. Can you tell more about your experience? How your kids handle peer pressure?
