  • I wish I was as bold as these authors.

  • Yeah it is as if someone invented the microwave oven and everyone over hypes it as being able to cook Michelin star meals. People then dismiss it entirely since it cannot produce said Michelin star meals.

    They fail to see that is a great reheating machine and a good machine for quick meals.

  • Let me fill you in. The article details how the games you own change. If you own a Zelda game and get this prosthetic it changes to a Tomb Raider game.

  • No, you don't need a 'very bespoke AOSP' to turn your phone into a Rabbit R1 — here's proof

  • Ah wasn't aware of the ability to change assistants. I stand corrected!

  • Not sure what the surprise is. It is a device that needs you to sign into an account and have an internet connection. Ie it is just a dumb terminal. Kind of like how Alexa speakers are useless without an internet connection. All the processing is done on servers.

    Even if it was not an android app, you probably could have made a clone of it since you are basically interacting with a web api.

    In their defence the device has the advantage of giving you instant access to their ai through the touch of a button whilst on phones you would need to physically open the app as the "assistant" functionality is already reserved to Siri, Bixby, etc. EDIT: I wasn't aware you can change assistants.

    Personally I like the concept if the processing was done within the device, but considering you need monster machines to run llms I guess we are least decades away from that reality.

  • Google lays off hundreds of 'Core' employees, moves some positions to India and Mexico

    Jump

  • The fact they chose india is probably for the low wages. So I wouldn't get my hopes up.

  • Apple must open iPadOS to sideloading within 6 months, EU says

  • Speaking metaphorically they basically have to create "doors" for the hundreds of "walls" they made to originally prevent this.

    I say "doors" since they will probably make them oddly shaped and hard to access to still make it difficult to allow you in.

  • Discord is nuking Nintendo Switch emulator devs and their entire servers

    Jump

  • I am guessing noone is suing discord for hosting these groups were Nintendo might be threatening a lawsuit for hosting these devs.

    So not a matter of morals but self-preservation.

  • And they are all judging you.

  • What lesser known free and open source software do you use daily to improve your life?

  • Yeah helix has become my main editor since it comes with batteries included. I do miss the vim bindings though.

    I am currently in the process of setting up nix but it is a bit of rabbit hole.

  • how can something be so courageous and yet so true

    Jump

  • Well an argument against Apple products specifically is that they promote anti consumer trends.

    Proprietary cables, unrepairable devices, having an ecosystem that is hostile to third party devices, popularising things like sealed batteries or removal of headphone jacks.

    Apple actively is making the tech world worse imo.

  • The kicker is that the devices are usually locked down so even if you have the motivation to get your hands dirty, you can't. The device dies as soon as support dies.

  • They do, all phones get an emergency alert and tvs display a message. Twitter was another vector to spread the word out.
