I switched from samsung to Fairphone, and oh my gods base Android is missing so many nice little features and options I’d been taking for granted on OneUI.

Smart switch: actually copies your data over instead of simply redownloading your apps and letting you figure out if/how to transfer individual backups.
samsung gallery: tags, offline categorization, fantastic photo and video editor. Routines, One Hand Operation+ (though “Quick Cursor” is a decent replacement), quick settings. On samsung there’s a feature which can automatically turn off/on wifi when leaving/returning home. google has basically the same feature… but only turns your WiFi on! They really want their location services to be scanning for networks at all times. And apps, like tasker, can no longer manage WiFi either.

Even so, fuck samsung. I would make the switch all over again.

I am aware, and I repeat my question.

I imagine entry level as slightly more comfortable than the cheapest hardware out there. 16GB DDR4 RAM is >€100. Motherboard, CPU, PSU all likely around that price too. CPU cooler €60 GPU €200. That all comes down to ~€600

Case €50. Monitor €150. HOTAS another €100.
Keyboard and mouse… if flight SIM is the primary concern I guess you don’t really need to spend on those.

Everything so far comes down to €960.
I suppose it can still be done… probably even cheaper than this is you hunt around for deals/second hand, I didn’t care to spend too much time looking up each individual component. When I did look up the DDR4 price I figured I might as well spend a bit more time; I didn’t bother going back so this comment is a bit all over the place. Also I’m assuming you’re not buying windows.

Just curious;

Can’t a style of writing specific to an industry be considered a trend? Or does it have to be a recent/popular fad to be considered as such.

Easily, with an okay-ish monitor and peripherals, and today’s RAM prices?

The insane prices sure don’t help either.

Deezer is the one platform (to my knowledge) which has been very vocal about listing and suppressing AI tracks on its own platform.

Scanning your spotify library is a marketing stunt, obviously.

Or worse… vaccines.

On my previous coax connection upload was severely limited, even if download went up to gigabit. Now that we have fibre we can get 1 gig up and down.

Remember when… Either 2K or EA “accidentally” patched loading screen ads in?

Don’t let them get away with it now.

But I think that’s more of a performative statement

Should it somehow go beyond that, somehow, I have little doubt Louis will put his money where his mouth is. He’s paid $10.000 bounties to people demonstrating they can crack locked firmware, and done lots of other things.

Nuance is indeed easily lost. I think we’re basically in agreement.

Functionally this is no different then someone sitting in a park counting how many people are wearing a blue shirt or Nike shoes.

That isn’t the same level of identifiable as a unique device ID/MAC/whatever though. And even if my devices weren’t the issue, I wouldn’t feel comfortable having an automated system logging my clothes/gait/face just because I’m out in public. Fully automated surveillance such as this ought to be it’s own category.

Also I don’t think you are trying to argue that it is right.

Which is why ebook readers with such screens sell reasonably well, and nothing else does.

If you have a username like that, I would expect you to be able to take a joke about it. What the user said, to me, doesn’t read any different from comments like “thanks for the help, rimjob_steve”.

That compressed database would have to be updated frequently, I don’t know how well it’d work.

Wikipedia has started striking deals with AI companies as a means to cover the cost of their lookups which, as much as I may not like it, is totally fair.

A wiki for some obscure indie game won’t have the same leverage.

Oh, she’s the lady that also does some yt videos. I’ve come across her stuff before.

Without a decent refresh rate, I don’t see them gaining mainstream appeal. Given that the technology revolves around physically moving particles, I don’t see the refresh rate improving by leaps and bounds anytime soon.

The download link doesn’t even do anything. And the readme is almost certainly written by AI.

Economists?

Or billionaire funded news/think-tanks/lobbyists?

I must add that I find it just a little ironic, that you’d switch back to Firefox because of features Zen added, to then ask Firefox to add new features.
