This. The Pinephone was worthless when it was released, let alone later on. I'm supposed to buy a worthless phone?

I don't think AI only dumbs people down, I just think it feeds people's proclivities.

If I look stuff up with AI (sometimes I give up and do it because the search engines are all so shit now) then I double-check what it shows me and I learn unrelated things in the process.

If you look stuff up with AI and just say "duhhhh OK" and repeat what it says then yeah, that's going to make you dumber.

So basically the people who were getting smarter looking things up without AI can still be getting smarter looking things up with AI... if they know how to think critically.

The idea was a future-proof connection, so we weren't paying for old and busted.

No. That doesn't mean they should have no access to subsidies, but they are also substantially more expensive than other options.

Let me also say here that we should nationalize all of the telcos because all of them stole hundreds of billions from us that they were supposed to use to provide high speed internet and gave it to shareholders and executives instead.

Granted it's in a different discipline, but the instructor having to use AI to write backs up the claim that people are forgetting things by using AI. It's a bit ironic for other reasons, but still supports the point.

Well, no. The two things are very different. Data leaves down the same "pipe" it came through, while sewage systems and water supply systems are both separate (you hope) and VERY DIFFERENT. They have almost completely different considerations in every department. Also, if you live in the sticks, there's no real drawback to not having a sewer connection.

lolololol

Double down forever, dumbass.

In fact it's just a lot of bullshit. Embedded refers to how a product is used, and there are plenty of non-embedded ARM computers.

What do you mean by embedded/non-embedded? Apple uses SoC and SiPs, they are as "embedded" as anything else being used in a PC. Embedded systems are systems hidden within something else. PCs are the opposite of that.

I regret not getting more GPU. I have a 4060 Ti 16GB, as the minimum card with decent VRAM. I did buy some 8TB HDDs too, but I only got 3 of 'em.

99.44% chance that this is about sending more tax money to ol' musky.

Yes, they might prefer slower internet!

This guy has passed right by needing to determine whether people would like fire which can be fitted nasally and on to deserving to have it fitted rectally.

Yes, but only in the same way as I remember there was a global cooling scare supported by a tiny minority of scientists but in fact perpetrated by media — which has always been sensationalist. The actual scientific statement was that most of the brain is not active at any given time. We found out that more of it is doing something more of the time, but some areas remain way more active than others so there's still a kernel of truth to that idea — the same as it ever was.

Don't encourage him. The peak of his thinking is that we're more responsible than China so unfettered capitalism is great actually.

I did the same, although I "only" got 64GB. I have a 5900X. I bought the MiniPC in part because they are both Zen3, that's handy since I run Devuan on both so if I build a package specifically for this architecture I can use it in both places.
