One thing to highlight: T-series Lenovo laptops are mainstream business products shipped at a huge scale.
This is not a small-scale experimental product for the tinkerers. This may define the biggest laptop segment if it works out well. It might be the first time in a while that something like this hits such a huge market.
Not my screenshot, but yeah, this seems to be several standard KDE widgets bundled together. You can always open System Monitor app, though, if you want to check your system through a customizable, organized dashboard. Or, like it’s done here, group standard widgets to enjoy them all in a neat fashion.
(Both can be set up to show you literally anything, and you’d be surprised how many sensors are in your computer)
All main desktop environment users triggered in 3…2…1…
But seriously, as a KDE Plasma user, I have to note it’s extremely customizable. It doesn’t have to look or behave like Windows at all, it’s just a default.
An entirely different look? Sure! All sorts of completely customizable shortcuts? Yep! Tiling? If you so wish!
The thing that made Plasma my forever choice is that whatever I want to make it, it delivers. It has settings for everything.
Here are just two examples of the non-standard KDE looks by the way:
Yep, heard a bit about it. Didn’t include here because it’s still a big WIP.
As far as I know, it is still reliant on the whims of Google through shenanigans with AOSP, and of course having to use a Pixel.
Linux offers a more solid and independent foundation, and while it is less polished yet, to me it’s the only real way out in the long run.
Still, GrapheneOS is a big step in the right direction - hope it wouldn’t come across as me being against the project.
Today, I use MPV to handle the most screwed video files
Already on android in .apk
Google Play and F-Droid pending
Ready to be killed, I guess
Quickly checking eBay, they now cost around $120-150 for SATA and around $100-130 for SAS in the US
In my country I got used 10tb for $150. Don’t know situation in your place.
Not quite a serious city building game, but Islanders is about building the most efficient city, and it’s made in a cutesy solarpunk aesthetic.
Works perfectly smooth on Linux.
Made me buy a used 10tb drive recently.
Screw them all, I will have a place for my data and I won’t pay them a dollar for these shenanigans.
Su often takes more time and is more involved, even if it’s a difference between very little effort and no effort at all.
For example, I update and install apps through CLI about once a week, and I’d rather just bang the sudo <update command> than go su, enter root credentials, and only then go for what I wanted in the first place.
Just got massive drives and pushed everything onto them, so my seed to download ratio is 0,21.
Promise to give it all back, though! Already up from 0,19 yesterday, so shouldn’t take too long!
(God bless my VPN for handling it all)

I worry you might not have a representative audience here, as most of Lemmy is privacy-savvy. I guess most people just don’t care, and if it keeps this way, it will be no different than smartphones (which are primarily spy devices most people carry around all the time and no one notices anymore).
I think such matters should be kept strictly out of corporate hands, or be completed with total oversight.
That would be true if children were abused specifically to obtain the training data. But what I’m talking about is using the data that already exists, taken from police investigations and other sources. Of course, it also requires victim’s consent (as they grow old enough), as not everyone will agree to have materials of their abuse proliferate in any way.
Police has already used CSAM with victim’s consent to better impersonate CSAM platform admins in investigative operations, leading to arrests of more child abusers and those sharing the materials around. While controversial, this came as a net benefit as it allowed to reduce the amount of avenues for CSAM sharing and the amount of people able to do so.
The case with AI is milder, as it requires minimum human interaction, so no one will need to re-watch the materials as long as victims are already identified. It’s enough for the police to contact victims, get the agreement, and feed the data into AI without releasing the source. With enough data, AI could improve image and video generation, driving more watches away from real CSAM and reducing rates of abuse.
That is, if it works this way. There’s a glaring research hole in this area, and I believe it is paramount to figure out if it helps. Then, we could decide whether to include already produced CSAM into the data, or if adult data is sufficient to make it good enough for the intended audience to make a switch.
Honestly, I’d love to see more research on how AI CSAM consumption affects consumption of real CSAM and rates of sexual abuse.
Because if it does reduce them, it might make sense to intentionally use datasets already involved in previous police investigations as training data. But only if there’s a clear reduction effect with AI materials.
(Police has already used some materials, with victims’ consent, to crack down on CSAM sharing platforms in the past).
These particular models are about to be released, hitting the market. With all renown Lenovo got for good long-term support, this is their most repairable product as of yet.
