This is a fair point, and I’m not trying to defend NVIDIA’s behavior. I use an AMD GPU on Linux for a reason 😅

The progress on Asahi Linux has me considering a M1 MacBook Air for real.

Yeah, you’re just running an entirely proprietary GPU that only Apple makes proprietary drivers for. Don’t see how that’s a win in any way?

oof. that’s not meeting any accessibility guidelines. you’d expect better from a design app

Google and Apple have been putting more serious machine learning accelerators in their devices for a bit now. It enables some nice features, like on-device speech-to-text and improved photo processing.

At least when the generative AI hype dies down there will still be legitimate uses for the hardware.

there’s a couple EVs that can go that far. I rented a Tesla Model Y Long Range, which cannot. I did not leave with a full charge and didn’t arrive with one either. You don’t need to.

I charged 3 times on the way up the coast, for 15, 10, and 20 minutes. The last one was was only longer because I ran into target to get something.

That’s… 9%.

What car takes an hour to charge?? I used to have a Chevy Bolt, the slowest charging EV you can buy. and it didn’t take an hour.

Go play around with A Better Route Planner if you want to see that assuming 3 hours of charging for an eight hour trip is ridiculous.

Edit: 50mph on the highway is laughable, I was going 80-85mph. It’s a bit over a 500mi drive.

that’s… so much memory? my pixel has 12GB and that seems excessive to me. I’m used to iPhones and their running incredible on like 6GB lol

Used EVs can be a great deal! I’ve had my eyes out for a good deal on a leaf for ages, but not many pop up in my rural area.

it was a rental car lol

though you’d be surprised to learn there’s EVs under $80k! not that anyone can afford new cars anyway.

I spent under an hour charging on a 8 hour drive. I barely had time to pee or eat before the car was ready. Have you road-tripped an EV?

Too bad most other streaming boxes suck ass and are full of ads. Begging Android TV manufacturers to use a decent SoC for once.

Airpods!

Nice! I recently switched to Android and the Material You adaptive coloring through the system is so nice.

Anything that makes customizing a Linux desktop a little easier is good in my book.

I particularly enjoyed the rant about Digital OTA TV. I have not had a good experience with it ever myself. I’m close to putting a serious antenna on my roof to get decent reception, but what a pain!

In an ideal world it would be more reliable and we would have had tuners built into phones and tablets, streaming TV on the go without using data would be sick.

So many good changes. KDE has been improving so much lately, can’t wait for Plasma 6!
