I honestly might switch to Linux. I know people say that a lot, but gaming has been the only thing keeping me on Windows.

But I’ve also come to realize I just don’t have that much free time to game any more. Most of my computer use is putting YouTube on in the background or web browsing. I still occasionally game, but Linux support keeps improving and even if I only pick Linux supported games… I still won’t have enough time to play them all.

Many portable batteries (i.e. campsite batteries) have a UPS mode and can be used that way. Much more expensive though.

Aren’t people basically already doing this? There are lots of people who only have their phone and maybe a tablet, and for basically everything that might actually require computing power (i.e. photo editing) they end up using a web app or something.

Nvidia definitely isn’t Enron. It’s all of Nvidia’s customers that are mini-Enrons.

Enron crashed because they were cooking their books and faking income, declaring potential profit where none existed.

That’s not Nvidia. Nvidia is selling actual product as fast as they can make it at whatever price they want to charge.

Nvidia’s customers, on the other hand, are the ones who have to justify buying billions of dollars of product from Nvidia and explaining how they plan to make a profit from that.

Or the Taiwanese one, since all these companies are based in Taiwan

The stock can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

I do love the idea of having a 10" tablet that fits into my pocket.

I’m still waiting for the tech to mature more, come down in price, and increase in durability though.

Also, with mandatory AI Gamer Buddy™ so everyone will buy one themselves instead of going over to your friend’s house to play

Shiny holographic sticker = ++$$

You may as well ask me to throw away me phone entirely. I don’t carry a smartphone to make phone calls. I hate phone calls.

95% of that is spam. And an old dumbphone won’t even have auto spam detection.

I use my phone to take pictures, send those pictures, look for restaurants, navigate to those restaurants, listen to music, etc.

So what you’re asking for is to make the part I hate about phones worse, while removing all the functions I actually use my phone for.

Some of the smaller 4k sets work as an XXL computer monitor

But for a living room tv, you seriously need space for a 120"+ set to actually see any benefit of 8k. Most people don’t even have the physical space for that

On one hand, Musk.

On the other hand… Telecos.

You can either give billions more to the world’s richest asshole, or you can give billions to companies that already received that money last time and did absolutely fuckall with it.

Lose-lose

Well someone’s gotta pay for that small country’s worth of wasted electricity

Haha as if that will stop Trump

Than half of LLM users? Probably

I can guarantee you that 95% of car owners don’t know the name of the CEO of their car company. Most people who bought Teslas years ago didn’t know or care who Elon Musk is.

You know, I always expected Tesla to be the first to do this kind of shit, but never underestimate Stellantis’s commitment to be at the bottom.

Are you calling her fat?

Because every time a manufacturer releases a small phone, nobody buys them.

“natural” movement and the Uncanny Valley might be the next biggest hurdle actually.
