- Comment on To what extent has Smartphones replaced Computers? Has Smartphones replaced Computers for you or people you know? Will Phones and Computers eventually merge into one device? 1 week ago:
Cheaper is one aspect. Less physical things to have to keep track of and manage is what I am really after. I want a singular device that is capable of all the things/modes that I want. I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for this, but what I see is a singular device capable of all sorts of things being eventually small enough to be embedded inside a body, essentially like cyborg. Like 100 years from now assuming society doesn’t collapse by then.

Why have one device or why desktop mode?
One device because it would reduce the burden on me of maintaining multiple devices, the security updates, passwords, etc.
Why desktop mode? Because when I try to do what I would call “serious work” (probably a bad name for it, but think something requiring extended periods of deep focus), the interface of smartphones is not conducive for it. Precision of a mouse is required, ability to type 100+ words per minute is required, so that necessitates mouse and keyboard. Then there’s the UX itself. Smartphones have tiny screens so they can’t have many menu items or controls in the apps that are used for “serious work”. That requires larger screen real estate, so necessitates an external monitor.
I don’t want to start rambling so I’ll just leave it at that.

I’ve been wanting a phone that can dock and be used as a full fledged desktop since smartphones first came out. Samsung Dex apparently comes close, but is too limited in terms of the desktop app side.
- Comment on iOS 26 Beta 2 tones down the Liquid Glass effect 2 weeks ago:
They should have just called it appleOS 26 since they are bumping all of it to 26 and unifying the look and feel between all of their OSs.
- Comment on Is Pop_OS! kind of bad? 1 month ago:
Try these steps:
^$ sudo apt-get purge nvidia* # remove current installed nvidia software including drivers^ ^$ sudo ubuntu-drivers devices # verify it sees your graphics card^ ^$ sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall # install drivers automatically^ ^$ sudo reboot^

Do you gave an nvidia graphics card? The only problem I’ve had since I installed Pop OS is their shity driver installer crapped out somehow and I gad to recover my system by blacklisting amd graphics driver, uninstall nvidia driver and reinstall. It wad not for the feint of heart.

Never used them before. Looks like more business oriented. How do they work out?

Tailscale is a great option for this if your user count is low (1-3).

This sounds like an inference time optimization so we can use it without retraining the model? Any idea when this might hit Forge?

Stick to the standard ones if you’re trying to blend. Depending on where you live it could turn around and bite you. Stay safe.

It’s akin to virtually starting with a block of marble and removing every part (pixel) that isn’t the resulting image. Crazy how it works.

I disagree on the order, but you forgot Four Room (Penthouse – “The Man from Hollywood”).

- Comment on Top EU Court’s Advisor Explains Why Video Game Cheats Are Not Copyright Infringement 9 months ago:
Computers work with 1s and 0s. We have decided as a society that certain combinations of those equate to being copywritable. This ruling seems to be saying the result of a calculation cannot be copywritable? Wouldn’t creative tools like movie editor or photoeditor disagree? So then is the ruling actually saying these specific values used in this instance are not copywritable, changing the health to 100 for e.g., because there is no human creativity in the result of that value?
So if a programmer used an original work of art to define the state of health in the actual code, and verified the value matches the 1s and 0s that represent that work of art (thus it only ever comes down to boolean check in the logic side, and the value of the variable is never set to something simple like 0 to 100, it was using a huge amount of RAM and a very slow comparator operator.
Yea, I went there.
- Comment on Top EU Court’s Advisor Explains Why Video Game Cheats Are Not Copyright Infringement 9 months ago:
I’m not explaining it properly. Imagine instead of 100 hp, there is apple bananas. That isn’t really a mathematic representation in the same way that the cheat code can change. It would be a copyrighted work of art. It wouldn’t be trivial to build an hp system to do this (in fact it would be a large undertaking), but I am not asking about practicality, just what the law would find.
- Comment on Top EU Court’s Advisor Explains Why Video Game Cheats Are Not Copyright Infringement 9 months ago:
I mean what if you didn’t use 20/100 for the value, you used a symbol (in the code as the value). Would it still apply?
- Comment on Top EU Court’s Advisor Explains Why Video Game Cheats Are Not Copyright Infringement 9 months ago:
What if the health values are human creations like special symbols or works of creative art?
