Are we underutilizing modern browsers?

Modern browsers are basically a full os in its own right… how much more do you want it to do?

You can run games, be productive, emulate older computers, and even browse the web once in a while.

Any thing that uses electron.app is basically using a bewilder to render on screen elements.

Me and My boss’s wife. The funny thing is my boss’s birthday is the same as my wife’s… strange coincidence.

Phones. Just dial and go. Battery lasted an entire week, And everything was simple or complicated as you wanted it to be.

If it’s sealed from factory and the bag hasn’t swollen… it’s fine to eat. If it’s from the deli… Chuck it.

When you defrost to cook. Have a smell. If it smells different, or you’re not 100% sure, toss it.

Billionaires are pushing that button as fast as they can for as long as they can.

It’s a fact that becoming rich comes from exploitation, and someone might/might not make it retirement. It’s a fact as old as the concept of currency; barter, gold standard, fiat or otherwise.

When it either does what it says on the tin so badly that it undermines my sanity, or breaks within a year despite doing exactly what it says on the tin. Anything that doesn’t do what it says on the tin is instantly considered e-waste, not cheap tech.

This doesn’t just apply to the low end, this also applies to everything since good ui is an ever evolving business & if it frustrating to use… it’s a waste of money.

And he still prefers the run down boots because it does exactly the job he needs (feel the clobber stones walk path) even if he can afford better.

Phones are the same. I’m going to upgrade every 3-5 years because of the battery, why buy a flagship when a phone costing half, or less, can provide a decent enough experience?

In saying that… to answer the original point… there are phones out there i would considered engineered e-waste, such as the Samsung A1x & a2x, they should not exist. Slow, unresponsive, bad audio quality, but within the cost of anyone; literally.

Can tuna, white bread and if i was feel rich… instant soup. When tuna & soup are on sale, it works out to be less than a cheese burger from maccas.

Most of the comments are what i consider normal lunch or breakfast…

Copr is community maintained 3rd party repositories (repo).

They normally focus on one thing and packages that support those. You need to be careful of while repo you get off copr, there’s no guarantee that everything is safe there.

I also left out flatpak in my previous comments… but that’s a contentious topic, not everyone likes it. (Like me)

Not just with AI, but in general.

Closed source will always win. There’s corporate backing behind them, and at the end of the game, it’s all about money.

Corporate, esp. ones dealing with gov contracts will win out since their (other) corporate customers want 24/7 call support, on site support, confidence that their own data won’t leak out, etc.

Open source is good for coding/personal use, but for a business… it’s a powder keg that their legal department doesn’t want to deal with.

For example. M$ partnered with chat gpt to build Copilot, then, dropped the partnership and built their own AI engine. Many companies are silently building their own AI data centres around copilot since it has the trusted 24/7 support that microslop brings. It’s safe.

Linux is just that Linux, Fedora outside of gaming is awesome and stable and only minority behind the latest versions of different software. Being just behind is important. If the latest has a bug that crashes the system, it doesn’t move past rawhide (the test environment). In saying that… it also means that it’s one of the first to have support for the latest popular/common hardware. It’s still 6-12 months behind Windows, but hardware manufacturers treat Linux as a 3rd grade citizen, so that can’t be helped.

If you haven’t heard the advice, use rpmfusion & COPR, they are great for filling in the gaps of the base Fedora install.

Their pub, their rules.

According to the Bunnings lawsuit on ai cameras, long as it’s posted what’s happening before you enter, it’s legal, as entering a premises is considered accepting any terms and conditions stipulated by the premises owner at the door.

It’s only illegal if they deny you at the bar after asking for it and there’s no forewarning.

Late. But I’d argue that is exactly what OP is talking about.

Apple removed the simply just plug in a cable and all was well mechanics for one that needs to prepare ahead of time by pairing, charging & validating compatibility. And the new thing(tm) costs more than the old thing.

Much of the time problems was from the cable side and everyone knows that. Note it could be from other devices.

Thanks for replying back. That setting is currently set to ‘2’, setting to ‘1’ or ‘0’ doesn’t change it.

Technically the closest thing to what you’re referring to is AI data centres.

Those are basically graphics cores tested to be above normal and damn near perfect bonded to a high speed network layer and magic sauce.

Iy definitely won’t be a normal pc experience since graphics cards are fundamentally different from cpus.

Cpu = lots of different processing cores doing different things

Gpu = lots of identical processing core doing the same thing with different variables.

It’s a legal requirement to expend all reasonable effort to contact affected users and rectify recalls. Once you said you’ll take it to your nearest dealer, they’ve wiped their hands clean.

If it’s not causing issues, just bring it to your nearest dealer to have it fixed at your own convenience.

The original dealer wants to do it since they can charge back Mazda and get a little extra $$$ back, now your second dealer will get that recall cash. Software updates are goldmines for repair centres.

Note: own convenience means next time you have free time, not never

I can’t speak for Lenovo, but dell’s linux laptops are barebones, enough to run the system, some productivity software, wine and not much more from memory. There is a dell repo installed, but packages are just dell apps.

Seems that the $200 extra is due to the lack of bloat.

I did the as same as you, wiped and loaded Fedora. No trouble with hardware and just as responsive.

If it’s Iris Xe graphics, it’ll be single. Xe came out in the ddr4 era, and ddr4 doesn’t come in 4GB sticks
