Thanks for putting in the writing effort, I appreciated reading it.

I think he has no hidpi, just a small full HD laptop seen and a 4k monitor that's twice the width and twice the height, so all is just about the same. Like him, I never thought about the shortcomings of X because it's of a setup I don't have and I had to do lots of thinking to understand what the problem is.

It's real, but I'll never have a problematic setup myself, since my eyesight is getting worse with age, I'm past the point of having use for real high dpi screens. I got a 4k eizo that's 30 inch, because moving closer for more detail as on the 22 inch 4k Samsung we had before just doesn't work for me anymore, things just got blurry up close.

The best feature on the 14 inch 2k5 laptop is KDE desktop zoom. 5 years ago, I could actually use it without zooming... Getting older sucks, just not as much as not getting older...

What a missed chance! Based on your username, I would have hoped you'd state: I once thought of making this outlook plugin, yet never got around to it...

If you ask me, the N9 was the best phone ever designed. I've found the archive link to the story of how Nokia lost it: https://web.archive.org/web/20...

I agree on those assumptions. Interestingly, I got by on my Galaxy S22 without connecting with a Google account. But just using banking web sites doesn't work anymore, my banks have moved to using their app as 2nd level authentication. Beats the security of SMS which they used before, so I'll take it. I do think I got stuff working on my good old OnePlus 3T running lineage os and rooted (or perhaps I've un-rooted it at some point?) but I've not used that thing since lineage didn't get any updates around 2023...

Oh, and it should be as open as possible, at least in terms of store. Describes my Samsung Galaxy S22 more or less. Jolla would be better, and iPhone is out for sure.

Awesome, didn't know about that, thanks a million!!

I require IP67 or better, if possible e-SIM, DP-alt/ display out and a good camera. It seems that those may or may not be present.

I still have an N9 lying around, and a few years ago bought a compatible Sony and then got a licence and put Jolla. Due to all that didn't work, I had to break off the exercise.

Nonetheless, my 1.5MHz quad core galaxy Siii had nothing against the dual core 1GHz N9, due to Meego being so much more efficient. Also, all fart apps on android use up 5 to 10MB, apps on Meego were a few dozen kB for simple stuff, and a few MB for a full GPS navigation and mapping app, excluding map data of course. Wildly efficient.

Also, Android caught up in terms of UI and usability around 2020...

All that to blame on Microsoft and their henchman... More info on that here (maybe use archive, which is not training this link at the moment): https://communities-dominate.b...

I've doom scrolled through but can't figure out if Volla phones support android apps... Then I go through to one of their phones and find out that "apps that don't require the play store" will work, and then I find that with micro-g many other apps will also work. I need my banking apps to work. Will they? Even if I could find out, most people wouldn't, so Volla has more work to do if you ask me.

I got my money back a few months ago from indigogo but only after complaining on Trustpilot....

I heard many stories in the mid 90 where people had loads of BSOD problems, but Linux would run more stable. At some point, I came across the explanation that Windows and Linux use memory differently, meaning that physically bad memory would cause Windows to crash early on, but Linux much later, and vice versa. But people who were running Linux in the mid 90s would rarely check if Windows would run better, so the vice versa part wasn't found out as often.

Windows up to about 7 would crash more due to software problems, but since then I think most BSOD problems I've come across were due to drivers and hardware issues.

I sincerely disagree. You're quite correct on how language works, but the terminology around LLMs isn't settled, so there's ample opportunity to shift things.

Your examples are based on terminology by specialists and informed people, who got to define language in their field. I've not come up with "the LLMs don't hallucinate" just like that, I got it from a specialist explaining facts to a journalist, because he found it important to make the point that LLMs give output without thinking, and to avoid attributing human qualifications to there actions.

Just like it doesn't hurt to keep repeating that piracy isn't theft, digital detox is not "living in the analogue world for a while", etcetera, if and whenever one feels like it, I'm technically correct about this. Feel free to disagree, just realise that especially in other languages this isn't settled yet, at all.

Since you seem under the impression that LLMs hallucinate, instead of being complex algorithms getting personified, I'll repeat myself:

"Meta recently announced a new vision to bring personal superintelligence to everyone and a key part of that vision is building incredible AI-enabled wearables," Siroker said

They may say that, but anyone with somewhat elevated intelligence understands to stay away from anything Meta, so I don't believe for one second that's a real vision. A hallucination, perhaps.

At least it's a good excuse to not have your phone with you. Your honour, my phone needed to get charged so I left it at home.

On a more serious note, no, doing gps tracking all day doesn't really make a big dent on the battery lifetime. I track with OSMand whenever I go skiing and it uses maybe 20 percent additional battery power, but then that's with mapping the whole time (screen off).
