I use Linux on everything except my gaming rig… There are games that I like that only run on windows. As soon as that’s handled I’ll make the switch on they machine too.

I’ve still got a year of updates on my Verizon of 10. I’m going to use them.

Ok very good. I’ll accept that you didn’t downvote me.

Modern OCR is exclusively AI driven which is why it’s so incredibly good right now. Moreover the OCR on modern cell phones such as the Samsung Galaxy s24 and pixel variance do much more than simple text recognition, they’re able to scan bar codes and translate text on screen.

It’s extremely useful for what I do. I think you should give AI a try instead of falling onto the anti ai band wagon.

I think you’re the one who rated me down to zero. Normally I wouldn’t care, but I’m bringing it up for a reason. If you did rate me down, it would only be because I stated that Al has benefits, which it objectively does. That would mean you did it solely because my statement conflicts with your ideology, which is the same behavior you see from conspiracy theorists and radicalized right-wing groups.

I’m correct that Al has beneficial applications. That is not up for debate.

Are you so locked into your own rhetoric that you can’t even acknowledge that?

Haywire? That all sounds legit to me!

There are things that AI does well and certain features should be available in an operating system. For example the AI features on my Samsung phone I actually really like them I use them all the time.

Especially the highlighting feature for copy and paste absolutely fantastic for my work.

But what Microsoft is doing is just all intrusive AI it’s completely unnecessary and nobody wants it.

They meant that in terms of infiltration they’re becoming more humanoid at an exponential level

No there isn’t. 🤣

It’s funny, years ago, a single developer “killing it” on Steam was almost unheard of. It happened, but it was few and far between.

Now, with the advent of powerful engines like Unreal 5 and the latest iterations of Unity, practically anyone outside the Arctic Circle can pick one up and make a game.

Is tech like that taking jobs away from the game industry? Yes. Very much so. But since those programs aren’t technically “AI,” they get a pass. Never mind that they use LLMs to streamline the process, they’re fine because they make games we enjoy playing.

But that’s missing the point. For every job the deployment of some “schedule 1” or “megabonk” tech replaced, it enabled ten more people to play and benefit from the final product. Those games absolutely used AI in development, work that once would’ve gone to human hands.

Technology always reduces jobs in some markets and creates new ones in others.

It’s the natural way of things.

I am also newly minty fresh.

Although up graded anyway because the games I play aren’t an Linux.

The only downside is gaming.

I made a portable flashdrive for Linux for anything I want to keep privet and left windows for exclusively gaming.

Japan has some of the worst copyright and fair use laws in the world.

Satire is often times considered copy right infringing.

Lol. Crunchy roll was always crap. Watching anime in the raw is torture.

Yes. I understand what you’re getting at but I assure you I’m not some flat earth conspiracy nut so this rhetoric won’t work here. By they them I mean the people in the commen thread I posted under.

But congratulations on stoking the bandwagon fire. Good on you.

They’re not going to answer your question. They never do. These people don’t know what socialism and communism is and in the same breath say that Republicans don’t know what socialism and communism is either.

These people think that programs that benefit the indigent or economically impaired are inherently socialist programs. They think that universal healthcare is socialism as well.

They don’t understand what a Republic is and they don’t understand the difference between private and public ownership of the means of production. They think that socialism will make everybody equal but don’t understand what equity is.

They think that Bernie Sanders and AOC are socialists and have no idea what a Democratic socialist is in the first place.

They don’t know anything so they cannot possibly answer your question.

Two primary issues with Samsung refrigerators:

1. On the French door models, the drainage system for the ice maker is poorly designed. Instead of water draining down into the pan underneath the refrigerator to evaporate, it backs up into the ice maker compartment. This causes a heavy buildup of ice. Eventually, the ice can get so bad inside the compartment that it prevents the refrigerator section from cooling properly.

2. On almost all Samsung refrigerators, the drain holes for the freezer evaporator coil are too narrow. This leads to water and ice backing up into the freezer, creating widespread issues across the unit.

As a result, these refrigerators break down frequently. More than 50% of our work orders are Samsung ice maker problems. The root cause of these service calls is simply poor engineering and design deficiencies by the manufacturer.

The easiest thing in the world is not to connect your fridge to the internet.

Also don’t buy Samsung refrigerators they are truly truly horrific.

I’m an appliance repairman.

Volkswagen is so bad at this! They have phone connectivity but they bog down the infotainment with they’re own crap software. The GPS is so bad it slowes down the whole system. I will never use vw maps. Ever. Just stop!

And Chevy just doesn’t have android auto on or apple play on their lower trim levels. But they do compensate by integrating Google maps at least.

Kia is the best though. Minimal proprietary software. Plug your phone in and android auto automatically comes up.

I won’t get yt premium out of sheet principle but with the whole side loading crap going with android I might have to.

Really? You just turn it in and let it run… It’ll drain your battery a bit faster but theres almost no effort on your part.
