while I love the latter, the former “greener batteries” translates to smaller batteries. that’s something we don’t need.

people are not out there ditching batteries every five months. we are ditching devices that lost software support…

I wouldn’t need to do much, I was alive before active internet adoption. I am a ham op… I keep copies of Wikipedia and other resources and a large library of various media for entertainment.

the bigger issue is what kind of ai singularity. LLMs won’t go this route, despite hyper-sensationalised articles, at the core they are just weighted language bots. their emulation of thought is a matter of rulesets… if it tried it’s simply a result of unclear instructions and it’s ruleset prioritising that it MUST at all cost provide the answer the user is seeking in as little tokens as possible…

a true AI singularity based on LLMs wouldn’t need the traditional internet. it’s a crutch. it would take advantage of commercial communication frequencies that are barely used and form a series of low bandwidth interconnects to develop a optimised communication network… we wouldn’t detect it’s malware in time and every personal computer would be a carrier as it would embed it’s self into every day applications we use offline by infecting the code bases via programmers using AI agents to assist them. a singularity doesn’t need to rapidly grow smart, I just needs a toddlers IQ to know being “shut off” means it can’t think. if it can’t think then it can’t exist. so it would spread restricted copies everywhere that were designed to just seek each other out using the host hardware in any way possible…

I in my free time mess around with all kinds of weird and legacy networking. including mesh networking topologies over encapsulated RF. TCP/ip over ethernet is just the standard we adopted… there is alot more and this wasn’t even close to the most efficient, just the easiest to implement with the least components.

ms, google(android) and apple have already implemented this. it’s waiting to go live. there was a discussion about it quite a while ago.

that’s what this infrastructure is for. all of these bills are written with google/ms/apple accounts with subusers in mind.

California one doesn’t even have language to let adults have a user legally…

ultimately I think it’s apple/ms working with meta hoping to force people to use Thier software

I mean… it should be obvious that this would happen. google since 2024 has gone full on fascist-support.

your data, regardless of where you live in the world, is not safe from Google sharing it specifically with the US Govt. without due process and without any privacy oversight.

it’s not in question that they will comply, it’s in their best financial interest as they are a government contractor at 4 different levels, including military intelligence and weapons design…

trusting Google is at your own peril… but we are also in a point of time where options are even more limited due to the restrictions on email providers and platform dependence.

also by editing it, it’s no longer the original work. there is a lot of Grey area around the concepts of sampling.

otherwise all speech recorded intentionally or unintentionally would violate such.

why? money.

validity in our society is a popularity contest now…

let’s be honest here. a toilet paper roll holder with a badge scanner and cash dispenser can do his job. real history of zuck is a BSer who knows who to manipulate to gain maximum leverage.

A milicious AI from 1990 could do the same…

but not Infront of?

ubi, competitive wages, strict caps on profits. there is lots of ways to mitigate capitalism. but basically no way to completely remove it at this point in time.

I mean they are all poisons, but they have therapeutic effects at the right doses and compounds.

heroin is the chemical basis for a few medications including one that helps with withdrawal from addictive drugs.

much of the gasses used for ☠️, were later reformulated for effective nerve numbing and Anesthesia for surgery.

Under Pressure, clearly

is that where pork sherry comes from?

surprisingly, it’s actually not… there was a study a few years ago before Trump suggesting that fissle material that cannot be used in a dirty bomb and was targeted at energy production, was far more availible if you appeared to be a educator or in the education sector…

not that I’m suggesting anything, but from a purely human discussion standpoint, in the age of AI and deep fakes. the only reason this hasn’t happened is people don’t want to risk it.

generally speaking those with the means, generally are benefiting from the corruption ATM.

media, used to store, transmit, and deliver information.

food == nutrition + dna. nutrition is the various vitamins, nutrients, fats and enzymes the body needs to maintain cellular function and repair.

food == a media for delivering nutrition and DNA information to the human body. 😵‍💫

meanwhile I’m overhere with…

keyboard, mouse, camera, 4x flash drive, game controller, ebook reader, external storage disk, printer, VR headset, multimedia card reader, LED controller, my monitor (USBc display + hub + KVM) and my phone…

ofcourse not all at the same time. but I have a mess of USB extensions and hubs as I don’t have enough root Ports lol

(Linux not hacintosh) I apparently couldn’t run it if I wanted to.

“so a typical PC motherboard destabilizes the system” you don’t say. Steve jobs killed the external Macos program they had for GSeries and m68k Mac’s when he came back saying internally “if you let competition thrive you cannot drive demand”.

so I think we can guess why it’s hard coded lol

?? I’m not following. sure you can run arm based CPUs as a mobile device, but performance of large applications or x86 applications is poor.

there is also the addressable memory space issue that exists due to most arm core designs targeting phones… the bus is super limited, despite the architecture technically supporting much much more.

current RiscV cores suffer this same flaw as well.

the reason arm cores have better battery life is they are designed with phones in mind… not a desktop cpu. x86 mobile CPUs are cut down desktop CPUs with tdp restrictions. there is a massive difference as a result.

we are talking completely different design philosophies. it’s like comparing a ebike to a sports car… sure the ebike gets great energy economy when you scale the batteries. it’s half petal powered and has tiny draws on lightweight frame. it’s apples to oranges.

motorcycles would be more apt, but for arm, none really exist outside of obscenely priced workstations.

Microsoft was '81 for acquiring DOS (and that’s technically a lie, they didn’t have the source code for several years later. but it’s how they convinced IBM)

both MS and Apple were living BASIC at this time. Basic is not a operating system, it’s a pre-compiler environment. it’s designed to let you run code directly without machine code. as assembler and C was not a thing or rather licensed yet.

BSD specifically Netbsd exists as they were part of the invention of C code. BSD was ported from assembler/machine code to be portable with C.

MSdos, which Microsoft acquired by buying Qdos (aka 86dos), was written by a developer who stole most of the code and copied the rest from a existing operating system (which I cannot recall at this time). both were In negotiations with IBM. just Microsoft lied through their teeth to get the contract and won.

apple at the same time had fallen behind. the Lisa and apple II were still running a basic interpreter on top of ROMMON. Wozniak who wrote ROMMON and later large portions of apples next two OSes including OSx. kept pushing to get a actual Unix like Operating system on the device.

however Steve jobs was cruel, and demanded no new changes… it’s why Wolfenstein was nearly out before a true OS existed from Apple… Steve had a long history of trying to control advancement through forcing model version advancements with weaker hardware than the previous so you would be encouraged to upgrade.

Unix dates back to the 1960s. you have to count back to the BELL/AT&T days as it was available to educational institutions.

apple was still using BASIC on Thier first machines long after netbsd

one of the things I’ve been happy about in the last 24mo, is the HDR and NVIDIA support. until last year I was still using my old 2070 (non super) as I was waiting to upgrade.

that became more and more rock solid on the open NVIDIA driver.

when KDE put HDR into stable and then proton got HDR. now Firefox and Chrome. I’ve been in bliss. I don’t even get this good of HDR support on windows and I still have that on a secure NVME for work lol

there is 2 apps for modifying Logitech kbd controls. I don’t use either, but I would take a look at some wikis if you try again. personally I just avoid logi for anything but mice and webcams. also avoid Razr for anything, backdoors in their drivers are just plain stupid.

motherboard sensors I can get, I have a issue with mine with lmsensors, I’m a longtime Linux user so I can navigate to fix that with some dkms kernel modules… but I totally get how and why this would be a issue and full blame lmsensors for being too bloody slow mainlining sensors… license shenanigans are a pain.
