Mine's an MNT Reform. Even fully loaded, its performances are lackluster at best. Think entry-level laptop from 5 years ago kind of perforrmances. Or maybe top-of-the-line Raspberry Pi. But performance is not the point of this machine.

Still, sluggish though it is, it's quick enough for 95% of what I do. And since I'm not into modern games, it works fine for me for gaming too.

I bought my first ARM64 laptop last year, and while it's not 100% there yet - particularly in terms of performances for heavy desktop apps - it's a very convincing alternative to the traditional x86 stuff.

Have a nice day!

Microsoft trains their AI on corporate data, and most likely YOUR private data that you have to give your employer, produce for your employer under your real name using real information, and your LinkedIn.

Microsoft\s AI shit is a disaster waiting to happen because they've collected a lot of actual, sensitive, valuable data through Windows, Office 365, Teams and all the other cloudy garbage most companies use now, and because Microsoft has proven utterly incompetent with security for the past 50 years.

I'm much more worried about Microsoft's AI than Google's.

is a hallmark of fascism.

they sell themselves.

Either that or they're so unavoidable that people pretty much have to buy them, so crappy AI sales agents are quite enough.

When everybody's perception of reality is different, nobody can agree on any hard fact and society unravels.

he'll bear the shame for the rest of his life one day.

Bullshit web two-oh and AI jobs.

Of course they need proficiency in slop generators.

Apple typically provides mainstream support for a macOS release for a year, and then security patches for the two years following.

For example, macOS 13 (Ventura) was launched in the fall of 2022. It is receiving security patches until (at least) the fall of 2025.

is to keep quiet about it.

these treacherous profiteering companies will be broken up, and their execs will go to jail, IG Farben-stylee. Personally, I can't wait for Zuck to go cool off in the slammer.

I swear to God, if I ever meet someone in the flesh who tells me something or someone has been slammed, blasted, destroyed, torched, trashed or grilled, I'm gonna punch them in the face.

It's impossible to read any headline without those toddler English-level verbs used and abuse all the fucking time these days. It's really annoying!

quietly request the READ_GSERVICES permission. This lets them grab your Google Services Framework ID, a persistent device ID that survives app reinstalls and SIM swaps. Translation: perfect for long-term tracking.

Given how critical that permission is, how are they even able to request it quietly? I would think Android would be screaming at the top of its lungs if that permission were requested.

fund NASA to the tune of $1bn.

Of course, your South African Nazi friend wouldn't profit from that, which is your main concern really.
