Likely not. This is a spectacularly dumb move, the product isn’t that good and Samsung / SK Hynix are high if they think they they’ll get paid if the market so much as sneezes and things go sideways

Fair enough, that’s true. I guess my gripe is with the narrow use case and the debugging and/or prompt/context tuning to get what you want. I still feel that if you don’t get what you want on the first try, it’s faster to write it yourself than spending time “debugging” the input and maybe get a 60% chance on correct output, which in most cases, still needs debugging. And god forbid, a framework is rewritten.

I just wished it was a bit better before we hit the plateau of diminishing returns.

TBH, it’s not really that great at that. Is average at best and grossly misleading and flat out wrong at worst. It may bring slight speedups for average development on boring legacy enterprise code, but anything really novel and interesting? Detrimental.

You can find out - set up a local DNS (pihole, blocky et. al.) and check which domains the vacuum connects to.

Then block those and see what happens! Interesting experiment for a weekend.

To be fair, many roombas have a mini DIN connector somewhere, which opens up the possibility for external control - what I plan to do when mine stops working due to server shutdown. However, getting replacement parts will get more and more tricky as time goes by.

I just had to through out a mostly functional airfryer because the drawer rail disintegrated and the replacement part is no longer manufactured. The oldest one I could get was a “new” version with more plastic and a slightly bigger size, so it didn’t fit by about 5%.

It really should be illegal, there is no logical reason for 500 slightly different models and inoperability of basic functions (drawers, APIs, …) aside from malignant greed and planet destruction.

safer than ever 👍📘.

Not great, not terrible.

Have one (Fairphone with E/OS) and tbh, I really enjoy not dealing with googles shenanigans and straight up malware practices. I did not take kindly to one morning them telling me they removed a “dangerous” app. Mind you, it was a work phone and NFC debugging app from our own institute, costing my employer my lost time on it. Extra bonus for remotely installing and executing unwanted services that reduce battery life by 75%.

With that level of interference, I wonder about the legal implications? “Someone torrented shrek from that phone?” Or even “Device was used as part of a malicious DDoS op?” Must’ve been some intern/intelligence agent at google, I don’t control the device after all." seems like a legitimate defense/claim. Well, as long as the rule of law exists in some way. But if that goes away, then it doesn’t matter really. At that point you need guns and combat drones, not phones.

unattended updates / transactional-update are awesome.

Stuff has been running for years, and it’s still up to date.

Hmm. I had pretty much the same experience, and wondered about having multiple conversation agents for specific tasks - but didn’t get around to trying that out. Currently, I am using it without LLM, albeit with GPU accelerated whisper (and other custom CV tasks for camera feeds). This gives me fairly accurate STT, and I have defined a plethora of variable sentences for hassil (intent matcher), so I often get the correct match. There is the option for optional words and or-alternatives, for instance:

sentences:
 - (start|begin|fire) [the] [one] vaccum clean(er|ing) [robot] [session]

So this would match “start vacuum”, but also “fire one vacuum cleaning session”

Of course, this is substantial effort initially, but once configured and debugged (punctuation is poison!) works pretty well. As an aside, using the atom echo satellites gave me a lot of errors, simply because the microphones are bad. With a better quality satellite device (the voice preview) the success rate is much higher, almost flawless.

That all said, if you find a better intent matcher or another solution, please do report back as I am very interested in an easier solution that does not require me to think of all possible sentence ahead of time.

Yes, Christian monks in europe are a thing and often they specialize in productive activities such as gardening, beekeeping and prominently, beer-brewing

The implication here is, if they implement this, is that they volunteer to assume liability, should e.g., your bank account be drained despite undergoing their forced strict lockdown on paid and owned devices.

Fat chance, because laws are meaningless to crime syndicates

Ich finde ja, wenn die Gesamtgesellschaft sparen soll, können auch die Diäten und Pensionen der Politiker gekürzt werden. Das ist eine ziemliche Verschwendung, gemessen an dem was an Leistung erbracht wird, und dass es Korruption verhindert ist wohl inzwischen dank blühender Lobbykultur hinreichend widerlegt.

Diese Schatten-Sozialprogramme für wohlhabende sollten wir abschaffen.

Ban all (social) media that offers paid political advertisement at decix / BGP level 4 months prior to elections. Likely unpopular due to the high number of media addicts in society, but I bet it would be vastly effective.

Probably would work to outlaw paid political advertisement on all channels with every violation doubling the fine, but this is not as reliable as the former, because of the “culture war” angle. Plus, it would get drawn out in court until after the election, so not a good solution.

With this new driver, system LEDs, audio LEDs, extra keyboard keys, keyboard backlight, and other features are working.

And this over a year after this was released. Our whole office skipped this gen for new hardware because Linux support wasn’t ready. Additionally, reports were that performance on Linux was/is abysmal for the capabilities. Generally, I feel it was a mistake to prioritize all new ARM and AI CPUs for windows, with lagging and shit linux support until now, as mostly enthusiastic would-be customers are AI devs/researchers, and they often prefer some Linux variant as it “just works” with most tooling. The ‘normie’ office windows user does not give ²shits about locally accelerated inference. Why chipmakers fumbeled the ball so badly with the new AI accelerator / NPU CPUs is beyond me.

Me too! Crazy concept that “someone else’s computer”

It would seem like that when reading news, but it’s really not that bad. Enshittification is an issue though, but mostly being driven by the us oligarchs worldwide. A lot of the outrage/opinion manufacturing “media-news” never becomes reality on the ground.

The issue with nonsensical invasive surveillance tech is, logic and facts usually and eventually prevail, for instance backdooring systems for one group is backdooring for everyone, it just puts a huge target on your system and is ultimately ineffectual in its purpose, because the people of interest will adapt almost instantly (see examples “war on drugs”, “ending piracy”). In the end it is a losing battle, akin to trying to legislate wind to blow only in one direction.
