Fucks sake, just when we were starting to get people to move to Linux!

It’s more than famous, it’s infamous!

Buy one RAM and you get two GPUs thrown in for free!

It’s also unused, as far as I know.

There, handled.

If you just have that one gadget, I agree it makes little to no difference.

Ooooh, that’s where those standing desks come from. Now I get it.

It’s mostly network segregation and decluttering. Those things shouldn’t be on a data network where you then have to filter them all off from the rest. A dedicated network that’s designed for this kind of thing makes much more sense. Also Watts add up. One of them maybe just 5 (which seems a bit high), but when you’ve got sensors, lights, switches, etc., it can end up being significant.

Those things should be zwave or matter or something sensible, not WiFi anyway.

Nobody knows, it’s a surprise!

Are you saying that it isn’t a picture of the cloud (or of an IA barrister in a British court)?

Interesting, thanks for digging that up. Looks like it didn’t pan out. At least in France, they arrived just as the local market was building itself, and it seems they didn’t manage to get a foot in the door. Maybe they got more lucky in other markets.

Doesn’t ring a bell… not to say it didn’t exist, but it probably wasn’t very large at the time.

And they have spent a lot of effort for litterally decades to make sure most machines are as difficult as possible to use with anything but Windows.

It does voices too?

In the old days, we would ls /usr/bin/ (sic, there are several locations defined for apps) and either look at the man page (if it existed) for the items we saw, or just run the commands with a --help option to figure out what they did

I confirm, that’s exactly what I did in the 90s.

It would come with a fucking walk wall full of manuals. Only toy systems (like ms dos) came with a single manual.

Or you could read the info pages.

Well, you know…

“Waves vaguely”

Yet the LLM seems to be what everyone is pushing, because it will supposedly get better. Haven’t we reached the limits of this model and shouldn’t other types of engines be tried?
