Comment Re:verbose (Score 3, Informative) 31

I only worked with it for a while on Windows 7 and server 2008-2012.
I did not like it at all, it making things more complex compared to using the command prompt. The need to load the set of commands for some program, then the trouble of querying for the available command options.
Simply querying against an executable made work easier.

I don't know if things changed nowadays, but I'm glad I don't have to deal with Microsoft any longer apart from my old Windows 7 game laptop.

Comment WWDDGD? (Score 1) 84

What will DuckDuckGo do via duck.ai? Would they be able to filter advertising out of the LLM replies or leave it as is?

I only used the OpenAI free one a couple of questions out of curiosity, but for the few times I'd convert some C++ to C code the Mistral LLM has served well enough.

Comment Hacker's keyboard (Score 2) 53

I dislike the the simplified keyboard of phones and was glad I discovered the Hacker's keyboard years ago which provided full functionality.
I don't use my phone a lot but being able to for instance use ctrl-C and ctrl-V makes some things easier. And I don't misstype more despite the smaller key size I set compared to the regular phone keyboard.
Haptic feedback might be nice to have as a feature.

Multi-year indeed.

My previous employer was moving from Uniface on VAX/mainframes to the GUI version 7 when I began there in 1998 as sysadmin. The software team has been migrating to various newer ERP frameworks every few years since then and the German high command has decided last time to migrate all companies to SAP.

My best mate only has a couple more years to go before early retirment and has declined to join the SAP knowledge course. He's busy enough as one of the very few people who can service the still in use Axapta/Dynamics version at several divisions. It's going to be fun there once he's gone.
