Submission + - Cell phone for limited use? Avoid carrier lock? Avoid ads?
Futurepower(R) writes: How to buy a cell phone for a low price and avoid carrier lock and advertisements?
Some people use a cell phone only when they are not at home and want to call or do a search. Which low-cost not-locked phones would be best for that?
People who use a cell phone extensively, for watching movies, for example, are often happy to pay more.
The cell phone industry is possibly the most complicated for buyers in the history of the world.
For example, the Samsung Galaxy model A36 cell phone has 7 versions. Other than the A36, there are many other Samsung versions.
Other complications: Cell phones often come with no case, no charger, and no screen shield. Also, the prices given in a search are often low because of being locked to a particular carrier.
The cell phone service providers would be T-Mobile and AT&T.

I mean in theory you can have the AI identify and fix the exploits. Yeah it's an arms race but as some point the defense will probably win.

The difference is we can see what OpenAI puts out generally and see what Anthropic puts out and see pretty clearly which one is miles ahead of the other. I believe Anthropic, not so sure about OpenAI.

It might be a hallucination, or it might be a real problem. And there are other possibilities. (E.g. earlier it was suggested that MS noticed a bad bug *somehow* and the government didn't want the bug to be fixed.)

If you want to be fair, it's been headed that way ever since the 1860's. And prior to that the individual states were headed that way.

"Security by obscurity" doesn't work by itself. It's a necessary component of every security policy, however. You can't just pick one. (It's called "defense in depth", but that's not really a good metaphor.)

People who don't give a damn aren't really a problem either, since in a world populated by mostly good people, they'll ultimately be shamed and marginalized or end up in jail.

Journal Journal: Signal, Whatsapp, Telegraph 2
Is it just me or are these three platforms the arena of bad decision making in startup businesses? When somebody tries to lure me off of social media into one of these three platforms, alarm bells start ringing in my mind. If you're leading your business with communications on Signal or Whatsapp, just know that I for one will not be taking your business seriously.

I have a PC with the latest Mint Cinnamon and it can have a few browser tabs open and uses about 2GB of RAM. Meanwhile, Windows 11 is a dog at 8GB of RAM because of all of the Microsoft and Dell bloatware.
Comment Samsung Messages? (Score 1) 72
As someone who's been using Samsung phones for about 15 years, I had no idea there was a thing called "Samsung Messages". I tend to tune out all the shovelware that phones come with (and take steps to remove or disable them).
I really like Samsung phones, but their software ecosystem is abysmal. Everything they provide is inferior to other options.
