The HP logo on the lid is the only warning I need to know to stay far away from. I've never seen an HP laptop that wasn't a complete POS within a year of it being built.

If battery life is important to you, look at Garmin watches. Mine, when used as a smart watch, gets about 50 days of use on a single charge. Using it as a watch only it will last an infinite number of days without needing a charge.

Up until recently Garmin also had no subscription charge for any features on their watches, although they started dipping their toe into that realm a few months ago, so who knows how far they will try to take that. I'm happy with the features my watch cme with, and so far they haven't added anything new behind the subscription, and I'm hoping they keep it that way going forward.

But as far as battery life, you won't beat them.

He's not "possibly" one. He's given multiple sieg heils in public on television, and spoken at the modern far-right party in Germany telling them that they need to "move beyond nazi guilt".

There's no other way to interpret it than he is one.

Firefox on iOS is just a re-skinned Safari, as are ALL browsers on iOS. I still use it since it keeps my tabs and browsing history in sync, but it's just Safari.

Even still, 55+ GB for Windows is insane.

Could this be why my windows folder on my work laptop is 65+ GB? Maybe that Weezer video from Windows 95 is in there too.

He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

They're not doing it save a few bucks. They're doing it to kill starving children.

This passage is a sarcastic critique of the energy consumption associated with artificial intelligence development. The author mocks the idea that AI is a universally desired or beneficial innovation by exaggerating claims about its impact â" joking that AI doesnâ(TM)t consume power but instead creates it, and that more AI somehow leads to cheaper electricity and a better future.

Point: Itâ(TM)s criticizing how tech advocates or companies may downplay the real-world environmental costs of AI in favor of exaggerated or misleading promises about its benefits.

This sounds incredibly anti-competitive and borderline illegal. How quickly will Google start replacing ads from other ad networks with their own, or altering search results from Duck Duck Go?

It's completely anecdotal, but the amount of bloat between Windows 10 and Windows 11 is kind of astonishing.

I've got an older ThinkPad Carbon X1 that came with Windows 10, that ran perfectly fine on it. After upgrading it to Windows 11 it won't run for more than a few minutes without throttling itself down to the point that it's unusable. I thought maybe something didn't upgrade properly, so I reinstalled Windows 11 from scratch, same issue. So I thought maybe I needed to put new thermal paste on the CPU since it's relatively old, that didn't help anything either.

So I dumped Windows, installed OpenSUSE and it's running better than ever now. Between the shitty performance on 11, the new AI crap like this, the "Recall" feature that they are planning to roll out soon, and JetBrains making Rider free for non-commercial use, I don't have any reason to stick around on Windows now.

As a developer, what exactly would this $3,500 "tool" do for my work?

Until they use this half-assed program to kill real public transit, like Musk tried to do with the hyperloop.

So tech bros invented trains and bus lines again? Good jorb.

Give Trump some credit. It's not like he failed to sell steaks, alcohol and football to Americans.
