It is weird that they use it as a national identification number, when they are ostensibly virulently against the concept, and it was never designed to be used in that manner to begin with.

It’s like a better iPad in a way, since you could run full-scale desktop programs on it, and use it like a desktop.
I wouldn’t be too surprised if things like surfaces were one of the reasons why Apple seems to be making a push to try and make the iPad functional as a computer on its own.


It’s also an 8 gigaparameter model. That’s pretty tiny, even if they use it heaps.


More than a decade on, and it’s still one of the best kindles ever made, in my opinion.
You had physical buttons instead of a fiddly touch-screen, you could have music, have it read to you, and also go on the internet.
Plus it’s old enough it supports a bunch of formats, and registers as a mass storage device to a computer, so anything can use it.


Human drivers, if they could get LIDAR with their car, would probably also use it.
Why not aim for better than what humans can do?


According to the article linked in the article, it’s not that the operating system itself is more demanding, but more that the DE, and Browsers/Websites are more demanding now.
It feels like that Canonical basically needs to do the games thing of having a set of minimum specs for Ubuntu to run at all, and a recommend specs for Ubuntu to run well. Canonically basically bumped up the latter, but it’s being taken as the former.


If memory serves, he also claimed to have been driving when he teleported into a ditch 50 miles away.
Which just comes across like he was driving when he really shouldn’t have been (Drunk/Tired and Emotional), and fallen asleep whilst on the road.


It’s odd, since they used to have a rather nice HTML web interface specifically for low-peformance devices, but it’s since gone away.


This doesn’t seem so bad, though. 2 GB more in about 10 years is pretty reasonable in terms of an increase.
It’s not like they doubled it.

Did he read/hear about gut flora somewhere, and get his eggs scrambled?
The oil crisis isn’t quite that bad yet.


This feels like it’s trying to skirt unions/regulations. The teachers aren’t actually teachers, they’re “guides”, which is a completely different thing entirely.


TP-Link is Chinese.


A little confused, is this basically the same thing as Open Street Maps, just in app form?
That does make sense in a The Art of War way. There is no magic thing you can do that will automatically finish the negotiations in your favour, you need to actually use your own skills.

Having to plead with your partner for years about something you consider to be quite important to the relationship (like opening it to other people) is weird in general.
If you’re having to harangue them like that, it seems like a sign that the two of you might not be compatible with each other.


Were Apple not forced to permit installs from files recently? Or is that still in the process of being appealed?
The categories that they used for “sabotage” (Entering proprietary information into a different AI, using unapproved chatbots, and using low-quality AI responses as-is) seem like they’re just put together so they can blame employees for sabotage for the failure of the AI rollout, rather than employers trying to wedge it onto a bad use case, or not rolling it out properly.
The first two just seem like the company having issues with people going straight to ChatGPT, and using that as-is, and the third seems to be more people not really caring and using the AI output as required.
None of that comes across as outright sabotage like the organisation or article the to imply. All three seem like reasonable end-points of telling people to use AI, and giving them metrics they need to meet, or a not-great interface, so they just go off and use a different AI thing, because it’s all AI, and basically the same thing, right?
