Once again dominated by stardew valley for me

Do you think they just get charged without any evidence?

today 7000-8000 mAh should be easy, without adding bulk or weight compared to phones 2 years ago

A OnePlus 15 (released just recently) has a 7300mAh battery, so right within your range. I’ve not seen much complaining about bulk, either.

Some of Mozilla’s AI integrations have been amazing, despite the community crying about it. Like private, offline translation (I don’t care what anybody says, this is much better than sending the contents of your web page to a proprietary Google Translate server), and enhanced screen reader functionality.

But this one puzzles me. They’re not being very descriptive, but it seems like it’s just integrating generic LLM stuff? Not really what I’m after personally. At least it’s opt-in, I guess.

I work in IT and have since 2011… most people are buying $800+ phones for no reason

I do actually agree, but it’s funny you say this in a post where you’re glazing the Galaxy S4.

Adjusted for inflation that thing would cost $876 today.

But yeah, people spend way more than they need to on phones. Midrange or used is perfectly fine.

If you look at the top sellers, SATA SSDs still occupy a few of those spots, including 3rd place.

There is still huge demand for SATA SSDs.

On the contrary people expect this to be a step towards a general redistribution of manufacturing capacity towards HBM for parallel compute products.

That is where much of the overall wafers are going. But that would be happening regardless of whether the Crucial brand is around or not. Even if Crucial was still a thing going forward, those same wafers would still be going towards HBM.

I think he hit the nail on the head when he said that Crucial being cancelled is just a symptom of our shit market, not one of the causes. It makes zero difference.

Who says the Samsung NAND couldn’t be bought by other OEMs to make consumer SSDs

His point is that Samsung (the manufacturer) is scrapping production, not that Samsung (the consumer brand) is stopping selling products that otherwise are still being produced and sold under different brand names.

Stopping production of something sold under many brands is obviously a lot worse than a brand stopping sales of something that other brands will still sell (albeit in lower quantities in previous years due to HBM production being ramped up at the cost of DDR5).

There are plenty of reasons to put SSDs in a home server.

Unless the dataset, weighting, and every aspect is open source, it’s not truly open source, as the OSI defines it.

OpenAI is pretty well established.

I know Lemmy users avoid it, but a lot of people use LLMs, and when most people think LLMs, they think ChatGPT. I doubt the average person could name many or even any others.

That means whenever these people want to use an LLM, they automatically go to OpenAI.

As for to the degree of $300bn, who knows. Big tech has had crazy valuations for a long time.

Oracle recently put out a ridiculously optimistic forecast that had them matching AWS within a handful of years. At first the market loved it.

Now I think people are beginning to realise that was a load of bollocks and that they were just overhyping the stock.

Brand recognition cannot be overstated.

If there was a better-than-YouTube alternative right now, YouTube would still dominate.

If there was a phone OS superior to Android and iOS, they would both still dominate.

If there was a search engine that worked far better than Google, Google would still dominate.

The average person won’t look into LLM reasoning benchmarks. They’ll just use the one they know, ChatGPT.

There are other even more dyslexic-legible fonts that IMO look better

It really doesn’t, but it that’s how you want to run away from the truth little guy then go ahead.

What a dipshit take.

There is not a single patch of land where humans have lived where atrocities haven’t happened. Not one.

Some countries, though, are committing atrocities right now.

Equating them is absolutely moronic. What kind of Old Testament whacko are you? Put that “sins of the father will be paid by the son” bullshit in the bin where it belongs.

The UK has among the lowest road deaths in the world.

I’m not quite sure why that is (although anecdotally as a pedestrian, you seem to be treated like royalty in the UK in comparison to other places I’ve been - so much as glance at a zebra crossing and cars come to an immediate stop).

Given how UK drivers often use summer tyres year-round, the weather is dark and cool, and the roads are usually damp, you’d logically expect poor results, but we see the opposite.

Perhaps it’s due to the rather strict yearly MOT safety check? Who knows.

It feels like it never quite decided on what it wanted to be.

Wow, I feel the absolute opposite. Of all the UXes I have ever used, Gnome feels the most like they have a vision they’re committed to.

Not everyone likes it, and I get it’s very different to the WinUX that most others have settled on, but they absolutely have a vision, and they execute on that vision.

Extensions break with every update.

Sort of.

When a new Gnome version comes out, Gnome’s default behaviour is to mark extensions as unsupported. But in reality unless you’re upgrading to the first Beta releases, you’re unlikely to run into that, as extension developers will have marked their extensions as compatible long before the new Gnome version has hit stable and distros start pushing it.

You can disable the check if you like, but hypothetically that could lead to issues (say, if Gnome radically changes the calendar applet, and then you force enable an extension that tweaks the old applet). Gnome, probably wisely, goes with the more stable option.

If you just use the stable branch, you’re unlikely to ever get broken extensions.

Blame the HDMI consortium. Bastards.

That said, I’m not sure why it’d be a deal-breaker. In 2026 this will be a low-end PC. It’s using a 2 year old laptop GPU that Valve has dumped more power into.

Because TV OEMs are the ones in the HDMI consortium.

You can optionally donate money each month.

They call this a SailfishOS subscription, but in my mind a monthly donation with no strings attached doesn’t really count as a subscription.

You don’t get anything from it directly, it just goes towards software development, funding the forum, etc.
