Those are all more affordable, reliable, and established brands though.

My guess is that Amazon thinks everyone forgot about the Kindle Fire cuz that was before last quarter and that’s as far back as they remember.

Yup, but once you do that, it’ll run Linux just fine.

Improving the technology behind AI will only increase the return on investment per watt, so you’ll want to spend even more on it than before. This would more than likely increase the energy demands (assuming it doesn’t turn into vaporware).

One of these days, an engineer, the best and the brightest of us, will invent a way for it to be technically impossible to fix in production. They will be a hero, and save hundreds of companies from bad decisions, and they will never become famous or wealthy for it.

My Amazon streaming app on my Xbox literally only works when using my PiHole. Their poorly tested ad software literally prevented me from watching Prime for a few weeks until I turned my PiHole back on.

This is the stock market, the value is set by what investors think the value could be. Mostly, they’re probably assuming people would come back if he sold it. Literally everyone knows the name Twitter.

I actually audibly laughed when Raspberry Pi came out with an 8GB version because for anyone who thinks 4GB isn’t enough probably won’t be happy with 8 either.

Steam funding a Linux-based gaming OS became inevitable as soon as Microsoft started selling games in the Microsoft store. The message was clear from that point: If you stay stuck to a single OS, they can always shut you down whenever they feel like it.

Don’t forget that the data bandwidth is so low it can’t play higher quality mp3s.

Can’t you press volume up to act as a shutter button? That was a feature as old as thr iPhone 4, maybe older.

Or as I’ve recently started calling it, Linux + Linux.

Future chips not affected by THIS cpu bug.

Cable internet tends to stay online even if your power is out. You’d need a battery backup for your modem/router, but it is possible to stay online. Houses can be clever like that, almost all of your utilities will partially work, even when service is interrupted.

Every Sonos app sucks. It’s just one of those facts of life.

A friend of mine recently told me that your seat position is stored server-side in case you own multiple Teslas, so if Tesla goes belly up, it’s possible you won’t be able to save your seat settings.

I’m actually greatful for foldable phones. When they started actually coming out, I was certain that smartphones were feature-complete and my phone would never become obsolete again. If that weren’t true, they would have put a new real feature in the phone instead.

Inb4 apps like NewPipe and Signal are arbitrarily categorized as “low quality” without any sort of opportunity to challenge the ruling.

Yeah I’m glad you brought up the doorbell. Once the jammer dog is jamming, it’s impossible to ring most doorbells and choose the polite option. It’s 110% murderville from that point onwards.

Security vulnerabilities are a big deal in the tech world, but no one really cares outside of that. The CrowdStrike bug was big because it was user-facing and shut down systems. The truth is we haven’t seen any user-facing bugs from open source software to compare CrowdStrike to.
