I bought one of these. Horrible low res screens. No auto screen dimming. Slow, older generation processors. Also most of them lie about their specs. 12 gb of RAM! Actually just 4 GB with 8 GB of swap enabled. I bought it because i figure it I can get my software that I'm developing running on it decently with those low specs out should run everywhere. But I wouldn't recommend this tablet to anyone.

To each his own. To me nothing sounds worse than auto-tuned -sounding country music.

None of the music is "real." No human talent. Here's a video from a few weeks ago where Rick Beato did just this very kind of thing as a bit of warning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... . Very interesting. The software came up with a couple of different-sounding songs. Beato didn't do anything other than the initial prompt that generated the lyrics, and then he fed that into another AI that generated the music and the vocals.

LineageOS is my go to firmware but their support for tablets is limited to just 4 or 5 devices total and nothing current. So the third party firmware scene seems rather bleak for Android tablets.

I have one but sadly I cannot use it for Android app development unless I root it first. When I try to deploy my debug APK, the debugger needs access to some .so files, but the permissions Boox is using prevent their download which is annoying.

I've long wanted a color tablet with a screen that I can read in bright sunlight out doors. The Kaleido 3 e-ink screens are okay but definitely very dull and muted colors. Crazy that after all these decades we still don't have a decent reflective color screen.

I disagree. I'm glad this is here. I've done a lot of research and still don't know the answer to the original question. I welcome others' input on this. Sounds, though, that my initial finding is correct. The answer is, no. Android tablets all suck.

That smells a LOT like BS. I'm just going to eat all this food in your pantry to make sure you don't get food poisoning, and such.

Compare, instead of the nobleman charging rent, the herdsmen do get together and own the commons in common, working out a fair deal between them for sustainability.

As for the NYC situation, if there's a glut, why don't prices fall? Where are the buildings for sale cheap to someone who wants to do a residential conversion?

make that comma.ai. sigh. No AI assisting me here tonight. Or spell checker apparently.

Never mind that their FSD is more capable than any current system on the market today. Unless you've ridden in a Tesla with FSD activated and witnessed the problems first-hand I'm not sure you are qualified to speak to how bad it is. The "8-bit guy" did a random off-his-normal-topic video recently about FSD and it was eye openingly good.

My issues with FSD have more to do with the fact you don't own the car really, and you are constantly beta testing it for them. But it's remarkable how well it does work.

I've been temped to try out the very affordable comma.si driver assist system (not quite FSD) that can work in any late-model car. I don't mind having more assistive technologies.

Maybe. Here in North America, the big three have already conceded the budget market. None of them are interested in anything other than luxury cars. For the first time, the average car purchase in the US has hit $50k. Europe ceded the entire EV market years ago to China.

Canada is set to relax the Chinese EV ban and tariffs, which I'm in favor of (maybe set them to 50%). However the only Chinese EV manufacturer that will actually be allowed in is Tesla. Our market is just too small to for Chinese automakers to justify complying with our North American standards when the US will never ever allow them in. On the other hand if we allowed cars meeting European standards in, that would open the door to a ton of Chinese vehicles coming here.

Meanwhile the fetish with touch screens and always-on internet connections is a real hangup of mine for EVs. That and how every charging station wants you to use a crummy app, instead of just being like a gas station.

Anyone else noticed these? I thought popup ads had disappeared years ago because they are so annoying, but apparently not. Although I'd rather have these ads than those pernicious and malicious html-load.com scripts running on this site.

It seems exceptionally weird that people have started writing as though "AI"'s needs are just axiomatic; and that the size of other things, like revenue or suckers with available capital, must be the problem.

The fact that you want something that costs more than you have isn't normally described as a 'funding gap'; it's just you having expensive tastes that you can't afford. Why are talking about there being X trillion in 'demand' when, in fact, there's only X trillion in unfunded hype because nobody has slapped a shock collar on Altman yet?

McKinsey is already involved. It's not really a classic Saudi project if it doesn't combine the dodgiest western white collar people and services money can buy with a healthy dollop of slave labor.

It looks weirdly like some sort of baby transport accessory. Maybe perfect for iphone air users hoping that a warm, soothing, environment conducive to frequent suckling will help their purchase recover developmentally normal weight?

Application portability doesn't enter into it, nor does this have anything to do with code at a binary or library level. Nothing to do with Windows drivers! Not sure why you brought that up.

This is the Linux kernel we're talking about. This extension allows slightly cleaner, easier-to-read syntax in certain circumstances. As I understand it, it's syntactic sugar that brings a bit of C++'s ability to cleanly extend structs to C. This is clearly shown by some insightful comments above.

Nice dig at systemd, but completely nonsensical. All three major compilers support these extensions to the C language. Application developers can use them as they see fit. And have for decades.
