It's so tiny you can download and run it locally on CPU with llama.cpp. It seems weirdly good at some simple python questions. Definitely better than I'd expect from any model of that size.

I know it's overused and for example in MacOS introduces way too much white space, but people like rounded shapes. They make people more comfortable and make them think the content is simpler than when they get hard angles. It's b

You can. For example: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/fde16189feaa6eaa81bcf9... If something gets built it likely means the sources available in some way, just not opensource. There may be many reasons

So you can theoretically download an AAA title like the new kingdom come at 84GB in just under 5 minutes instead of 11 min. That's cool and all, but does it actually matter? I mean, with games of those sizes you're going to spend

The extreme high quality blurays are going up to 144Mbps or so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_HD_Blu-ray Still nowhere near a gigabit.

What do you expect to do with the steam machine that will take more than a gigabit? I mean, it's cool when things are faster, but if you can saturate the link, downloads are still bottlenecked by the drives. And even 4k streaming is un

They may not be improved significantly now, but none of the toolkits got abandoned. You can still use anything from Win32 to MAUI today for a new app.

The best you can do these days while keeping to the standard is to use mSBC codec which at least does bidirectional 16bit. It's not too common unfortunately. At least on Linux you can force the codec you want with pipewire. On Mac you

You can make your own better system which supports GUI and provides a reasonable runtime that works on all current major platforms and provides development tools, years of ecosystem development, etc. etc. If it's better than what MAUI

Etsy has some, but you can also print your own for not much.

I've never seen a conservative sticker on a laptop before. Then again, stickers, tags, etc. are more of an anti establishment thing. Those things don't mesh well with conservative views.

You can heat most of them and take off easily. If the IT transfers laptops to other people, they surely have a system for cleaning already.

You got lower chances of getting hacked by a random file on the internet. At Project Zero level they're also not CVE seeking - it doesn't even matter at that scale, it's not an independent trying to become known.

This was sponsored by AMD for quite a while and dropped. There had to be some talks behind closed doors that resulted in the current situation. I mean, we all know they should've and they're not dumb either.
