Sadly enlightenment broke backwards compatibility with old themes so often basically nothing works anymore. You have to search for themes specifically made for the new versions, of which there are very few.

Quite a problem since the default theme (of the prior version at least) was a mess.

The G84 has a very good battery by default though, judging from its predecessor. It can take some additional strain. Something weaker will suffer more.

Andromeda got critized a lot for admittedly unnecessary flaws, but at its core it was a great mass effect. It even corrected many mistakes of the original trilogy, like having a proper ending that used the allies won during the game.

> Then again, I'm stuck with decades of legacy code and systems that noone understands that were introduced by humans...

But that's despite many efforts made to keep that code understandable, maybe even documented. If now that's not even tried the results will be a thousand times worse - and the dependency on the LLM absolute.

The first phone in that list isn't a dumbphone - Clicks Communicator is a full-on smartphone, just with a keyboard. Same goes for the Unihertz Titan 2 and some others on the list.

Are you sure? I haven't played enough Quake to know either way, but I did play Deus Ex in software mode (unreal engine), and that had a lot of differences to the other renderers. I very much doubt texture sampling mode alone would reach a similar result.

(It even had graphic errors, green textures in the faces etc giving everything a very alien look. But that's not what I mean).

Doesn't sound all that convincing to me. There is no need for network controlled fridges in the first place. And it's not like setting up that network control was free. This is not about saving money, this is about ignoring what IT people preach since multiple decades now, spending more for the attack vector and then loosing a lot of money when that attack vector gets used. Margins? If it were about margins the problem wouldn't exist.

(I can see the need for remote monitoring, that the freezer actually worked. Controlling the temperature is the issue.)

The streaming model really makes remembering details difficult.

I used to play only local files, and then during a time at university played in the office music on Youtube. One specific album got stuck in my head, but for a long while afterwards didn't find it again. No name, no lyrics - not a good starting point. I just remembered a pink unicorn and that is was psychedelic rock and that the singer sang with a specific deep voice. After several rounds of research (the same youtube channel is still up) and looking through uploads of the timeframe and their recommendations it turned out I misremembered: The cover had a rainbow cat looking into the distance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ea1mYXUcBY, Whoopie cat).

How I remembered was funny. I talked to someone about this, researched while, then talked again, when something came over me to look to the side into the distance with a slightly open mouth - just to suddenly realize that this face was on the cover, not the unicorn!

But actually, I still have that image of the unicorn cover in my mind (one color silhouette, hoofs into the air, but who knows at this point). The Whoopie cat album is definitely one I heard back than and it was the music I was searching for, but the unicorn cover probably also existed in that space and was a different album. Or did I just imagine something based on space stallions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Otaq2tmNMM)?

After that experience I set up a local music player again and downloaded some of the albums I wanted to remember.

(If that is your project, you should mark it as Show HN to get feedback with a nicer default).

I'm sorry, but then that article fails. It is very repetitive without clearly answering the differences. It gives the LLM feeling because it does not give a straight-forward answer to what the alternative actually is. Yes, something the agent can call itself while doing the task without having to pre-process the data, but that encompasses basically everything. What exactly is the proposal, what is the thing that was (according to the title) built?

Instead you get a quick answer box after the introduction that repeats the introduction, and the FAQ at the bottom leads with two similar sounding points. Even for an LLM-generated document that's not a good result.

OK :) It was just a really big purse. I don't think the phone was clipped on or the purse see-through, just that it must have been stable enough to carry the phone a little bit when placed on top of it.

I remember specifically being surprised that she didn't put the phone inside the bag.

Argh, I translated that wrongly. Replace purse with handbag.

It seemed important. Instead of hiding a technical artefact it was presented to outside world by someone obviously placing a lot of importance on their looks.

And in a way that actually happened with the iPhone. Yes, that was also a functionality boost, but it was also a fashion object. I did a (for university, small scale) observation study at the time and found it notable that some young women started wearing their iPhone on their purse while leaving the bus - that was a shift, a thing formerly seen as a functional device became a fashion accessory.

Think about how different the target group for blackberry for example had been, or how little glamour the (mostly) cheap and small nokia phones of the past years had been.

What's your question? "Are there real people with opinion on this?"?

Then yes, sure. My opinion matches what's the overall tenor of this thread. It's not astroturfing, mullenweg just has lost that much support.

It was a normal developer position (with PhD bonus possibly) at a private enterprise that only worked on public projects. No Befristung, no other surprises I got aware of. I was also a bit surprised that this existed, because with private-public constructs like Fraunhofer there usually are the limitations you mentioned (and the low salary). Here the limitations probably didn't exist as the company was 100% private.

The construction would be a private company that works with the government. That exists already - I had applied for one before - and the pay was completely competitive, for German salaries. 80K.

Doesn't work in Europe either -> full login wall, Desktop Firefox.

Might be longevity concerns. Those new batteries are impressive, but the concern is that they will degrade a lot.

Also, remember the exploding Samsung phone. Experiments with batteries are risky for those companies.

I'm not in the brave ecosystem otherwise nor a big fan. But the search engine was competitive with google when it was still cliqz, before it was shut down there and the leftovers bought by brave. And it still works really well.

Even if brave were problematic it would be the lesser evil to me.

Brave search works really well, I haven't switched to Google search for months.

He described he pressed a button to turn it off. Here isn't a single AC unit out there that breaks from that, I'll claim hat confidently until proven otherwise.

It is not a sign of productivity to create LOCs. Especially not 100k.

Working past your personal bedtime, part of an imaginary movement of millions might, ignoring the negative aspects of AI, empowered like commanding an army. This frankly sound psychotic, and it's exactly why uncontrolled AI usage is seen so critical by many.

And all other devs will leave the field just because they prefer to work differently? That is not only not realistic, it is violence fuel.

Less energy usage, more vram, faster in games (see https://www.pc-kombo.com/us/benchmark/games/gpu/compare?ids%...).

But it is even more about timing. Nvidia shifted to RTX afterwards, opting to go for raytracing and upscaling instead of making strictly faster cards. Which made the last GTX cards very competitive for regular usage, raising its status.

Sure. Also the Chinese watch brands offer good mechanical watches for even under $100, or for not much more (steeldive for example, or pagani), I'm aware.

But there are also a lot of watches that are more expensive, way more expensive than the pebble. Plus the typical price for the smartwatches, I just checked the Samsung galaxy watch, over 300€. The pebble looks fine there.

No. It really is a scam. Everyone with understanding of the physics involved wrote so. Heat dissipation + radiation + launch cost make it a no-go.

But its so cheap compared to other watches, analog watches I mean. And it is also competitively priced against other smartwatches, isn't it? The price really shouldn't feel all that bad.

Time flies :)

You are correct, the microG ban is gone from the sidebar. That's nice.

(Why this was so important: During covid the official contact tracker in Germany needed microG/the play services, a newer alternative then bundled the scanner or something, so worked without. But that took time and was less official. When it becomes life and death impractical positions like that hurt).

It's okay if you dont want to discuss it. To share my position anyway: You need the option to have root so the device belongs you (and not the Rom), VoLTE is an existential threat and the ban stiffles all options to easily get information about the situation. That's the main point: Banning topics completely does only make things worse, and it is not like the project tried not to ban these topics for how many years now, a decade? An Autobot answer should suffice for making the problems known.

No, slower. And with compatibility issues as well as additional latency.

It literally can't be done, in Germany.

There is corruption in Germany, but it simply does not exist at this level. It also wouldn't work in practice: You would have to find out who is the office worker working on your documents (you usually don't know that, and never in advance). Then that person has safeguards: He is part of a team, someone will check his work, usually at least a colleague and his boss. Assume you'd try anyway, you meet the person somehow alone - how would you find out whether he is corruptible? If you try to ask you will face severe consequences.

Plus, it's never worth it for him: If they were caught they would be facing jail time, lose their job, all the benefits already earned (the special pension state servants get, their health insurance, ...). You'd have to offer that much money that all of that is worth it. Not even twenty times the money we are talking about here would be enough.

But you can't. It's not like you can bribe the bureaucrat working on your form, and there is no regular fast pass.
