How about two batteries that can be ejected and swapped without powering off the device? We don’t need to wait for super-capacitors today.
iPhones… someday. :)

Oh that’s awesome. The drop-down arrow “disapeared” with my mental blinders-- I was thinking it was only a toggle for PDFs.

This is a useful take: I too will use LLMs for search-- but not for search for journal articles with data and evidence. LLMs too easily confabulate these.
LLM-as-search is fantastic when you want a no-bullshit statistical result for what you’re looking for when you’re wanting an overview or interactive tutorial.

I have the big SearXNG portal bookmarked ( searx.space ) but I don’t find that I ever reach for it that often. Not being able to cull lower quality sites is just a little bit of extra toil I’m happy to pay to go away.

Ok, you piqued me: Got a link to a guide on using Kagi for the fediverse?

One of my best monthly expenses. I also appreciate being able to block low-quality domains from my search results.
