Comment A mobile interface and a full PC interface (Score 1, Insightful) 48

All I really want is a phone that acts like a phone until I plug it into a hub. Then it's a full desktop with multi-monitor support. I'd prefer full Windows, but I'll take Linux or Mac. This isn't rocket science, and amazing performance CPUs are now in phones.

Comment Re:Forest management (Score 1, Informative) 79

OK, MacMann. You're a fucking idiot. Let's talk about some of the dumb shit you wrote, you fucking moron:

Bad forest management. We stopped clearing underbrush. We stopped logging. We stomp out every tiny fire that could have safely burned off all that underbrush so the level of dry underbrush grows every year. What is another word for underbrush? Fuel.

20% right as usual, Morty. We reduced clear-cutting of forests. We did not stop logging. We do not stomp out every tiny fire. Why don't you do some reading before running your sausage fingers? https://www.fs.usda.gov/sites/...

Bad forest management would certainly be a contributing factor. I'd expect that even in spite of some global warming we could manage the forests in ways that would keep the wildfires from causing so much pollution. We can't be rid of forest fires completely since these fires are part of the natural process that maintains the forests, some tree species need fire to reproduce. There were forests and wildfires before humans arrived. With proper management we can aid the forests to recover from fires more quickly, and keep the fires from damaging populations of birds and furry woodland creatures. Oh, and keep the wildfires from damaging homes, businesses, and so much else.

A bunch of vapid bullshit and vague, worthless statements.

California is certainly the worst offender on poor management of wildfires, and things that can spark the fires like poorly maintained electric utility lines.

What an ignorant fucking statement, you cunt. The federal government controls and manages most of the forested areas of California. The feddy gov, run by the orange shitball, your daddy, is such a good manager, he poured a lot of water into the ocean to fight a fire hundreds of miles away.

I suspect the poor management of water supplies in California isn't helping. The drinking water for so many people must come from somewhere, could that be drying out the forests?

While it is best to assume incompetence over malice in any failure in government there should be a point in which the incompetence gets beaten out of government from lessons learned. With this kind depth and duration of mismanagement it is starting to look like malice. I'm not going to blame anyone in government for setting the fires, rather they set the scene for the inevitable wildfires to be far larger and more dangerous than they should be if the forests were managed properly.

You suspect? From your basement you never leave, except to huff and puff upstairs to grab some rice krispies treats your mom made? So somehow California steals the rain above forests and puts them in drinking cups? You're so fucking ignorant, it's amazing you can type. It's called the water cycle. Elementary school children learn this. You were too busy getting fucked in the ass by your PE teacher to notice? With this kind depth and duration of dumbfuckery, your posts are starting to look like malice. California didn't take away irrigation from forests. I just... What the fuck is wrong with you?

California will want to claim to be producing low CO2 energy but they've continuously failed. This is also a depth and duration of failure that is difficult to dismiss as mere incompetence, there's hints of malice showing. Clearly those in government will have to answer to the voters. This makes me wonder if the malice lies as much in the voting public as with the government. Do Californians want bigger and more dangerous wildfires?

California has failed to produce low CO2 energy? Motherfucker, get some facts. https://seia.org/wp-content/up...

I believe these are problems that can be solved, but we need people that want to solve them. If California wanted to see less CO2 emitted as that is contributing to global warming, the drying out of the forests, and therefore leading to more wildfires then there's plenty they could do that would be more effective than what they've done in the past. I guess they don't want it bad enough yet.

Perhaps you can help by no longer breathing? That would cut CO2 emissions. Go the fuck away.

Is to take our phone and plug it into a usb or thunderbolt hub and have a full desktop OS, 100%, plus mobile apps integrated. Then we unplug and have the phone be 100% mobile. Then we go to work and plug in, going back to a full desktop. Then we go to the bathroom and plug it into a laptop skeleton with integrated hub, getting the desktop. One device to rule them all.

The general model has been thoroughly trained on these types of problems. Then they tweaked it for the specific challenge. Then they ran it with tons of processing power, more than any normal person gets. And all of this was for very, very, very specific types of coding problems.

It's not intelligence. It's processing.

I use my touchscreen on my Dell for unchecking or checking many boxes, scrolling when leaned forward, drawing, signatures, etc. I may not use it every day, but I used it regularly. People who use touchscreen phones and tablets then shit on touchscreen laptops are being stupid. It's just habits.
