What a pointless product to waste time making.

Meh wish it was that simple, this paints at least part of their leadership as completely unhinged: https://chaos.social/@North/115605819126197877 We're only probably seeing part of the whole mess though.

Even so, it was hard to take LTT's attempt at using linux seriously when part of it included Linus bitching about how right clicking a list of files on github and clicking "save link as..." didnt give him a copy of the file.

Hey Sonos, this is how you handle old products, and this is why most of us wont touch your hardware ever again.

I doubt it does given the spam filtering has again, been there for 2 decades.

What about them? Gmail 'beat' them years ago thanks to a generous amount of storage on the free tier, hype marketing at launch, and a vastly superior spam filter. Not one part of that was down to AI.

Decline? Ha, good one. As a google product...er...sorry, customer, you don't get to decline.

This is the big one for me. I've tried moving away from gmail several times and everyone elses spam filtering has been utterly awful in comparison.

> Today, 3 billion users rely on Gmail to connect and get things done. AI has been a big part of that I highly doubt AI had anything to do with that, and it was more to do with the Gmail service being in use for over 2 decades.

Why would anyone want this? It's got a fairly tiny drive size for this day and age, not to mention it appears to just be a generic aliexpress N150 box thats been branded and had their software pre-installed.

Looks like its already been corrected

Ditto. The more interesting part is how many people will defend it. Presumably some mix of post-purchase rationalisation and inherited assumptions about what's "standard" even when those assumptions stopped being true ages ag

RISCV is at least a decade, if not two from being useful enough for mainstream adoption. Neither the hardware or software is anywhere close to being ready.

Valves moving into hardware more than ever right now, not moving away from it. They've already sand multiple times a deck 2 is on the cards, but only when theres enough of a hardware bump to make it make sense as a product. Slapping a

> HDD have to be bought new In A DC environment sure. In a home NAS not so much. I'm on Unraid and just throw WD recertified drives of varying sizes at it (plus some shucked external drives when I find them on offer), that's on

yup bingo, you can pick up vastly better devices than a pi for quite literally half the price now.

It's already there really. It's heat output on the 4 and more so the 5 benefits from active cooling. The good news is the pi is practically pointless as a product for most people these days, and vastly better options are available

When its back up, do yourself a favour and rent a $5/mo vps in another country from a provider like OVH or Hetzner and stick your status page on that. "Yes but what if they go down" - it doesnt matter, having it hosted by som

Used mine with a Galaxy S22 for about ~6 months, zero connectivity issues. Also given others also are saying they've had no issues I'd say it's pretty fair to assume this was an isolated problem unrelated to the topic at hand

It's a browser. A browser does not need AI baked in. Extensions/addons? Sure, go for it, the more the merrier. But forcing it on people was always going to be a daft move, especially for Mozilla who have completely lost their whol

Valve's already said they hope to extend their relationship with ifixit to allow parts to be purchased, so that would presumably cover this kind of situation.

IMO something like: We are truly sorry for the impact this has no doubt caused on our customers and partners businesses. This clearly should never have happened, and we take full responsibility. Whilst we can never put into words how deeply

They've cut some fairly shallow corners, like mono vs color cameras so I imagine getting it within a decent price range has been of high importance. I really doubt it'll be any thing close to $1k.

I think it does also help that a big chunk of Steams userbase are playing smaller indie titles that don't need obscene amounts of vram. The steam deck audience for example has a lot of people playing both a mix of AAA and smaller games
