Take any chronic health issue for which people have to take medicine or other treatment for the rest of life and find a cure for that (not treatment but cure). Unless you can do please STFU about AGI or ASI.
This is probably done by some udev rule file.
Why not just a share a new virtual desktop and move windows to it that you want to share?
AFAIK you can still install any random APK but the process will require enabling developer mode and one time 24 hour wait period. But the problem is many stupid Apps check that developer mode is on and refuse to work.
No price increase in iPhone to save the sales number, this clearly shows that Apple is iPhone first company.
Give me a voice input method where no one else can hear me even when they are nearby.
What are your philosophical thoughts on paying a subscription to get your work done?
You are paying to get the work done much quicker. You are saving time, if you don't think your time has more value than the cost of AI agent then you should not pay for these tools.
The new norm?
As long as companies are ok to pay for these tools and they believe that these do provide value, yes this is going to be the new norm.
Lets see what local models can do?
My hope is that local models become as good as cloud models but the tricky part is all the AI companies would prefer to have big giant cloud models instead of innovating on optimization so that even small models can do good work.
It is unified in the sense that the OS can dynamically assign memory to CPU and GPU. Apple silicon is not a alien tech that other silicon vendors cannot implement.
For such use cases of running some Windows app on Mac you could have tried https://www.codeweavers.com/crossover
LLMs (the current AI approach) are definitely useful tools BUT the cost of training and inference and creating bigger and bigger model to improve the "intelligence" is extremely high and the consequence of this high cost is having negative impact of average people whether it is in terms of job losses or rising cost of electricity and other stuff.
Unless the industry is able to reduce the cost drastically and soon, it will have negative impact on all of us.
To counter my own "against top panel" argument, one thing that the top panel does is that it enables you to auto hide the app panel/dock and yet have the ability to see things like date/time and other information on the top panel.
I can click that top border part and chrome still select the tab (tested on Windows and KDE)
How so? It displays useful info at a glance. Where's the bad UX?
That info can be shown in the bottom panel, there is enough space there.
Many apps these days have tabs at top like chrome or firefox and having a top panel (with or without menu bar) means you loose the useful of the fitts law for accessing the tabs of such apps.
So this is essentially Android desktop mode with Android 17 Gemini integration. Please get rid of that top panel. I just don't get why this and desktops like GNOME tries to copy macos top panel when clearly in macos it is menu bar that host app menus but that concept doesn't exists in these other desktops and yet they have a top panel. This is just bad UX.
This will follow same model as Chromebooks i.e different devices from different OEM partners and for x86 and arm. So soon someone will be able to create a generic ISO for this that you can boot on a standard x86 PC/laptop.
Samsung is also working on such devices but they will probably have Dex which is much better then the current Android desktop mode.
Windows hiding the file extension by default means all non-tech people who use Windows never learned about file extension and it also means they all can be easily social engineered into executing malicious code.
They want the thing, they don't care if it works well. They don't care if it's efficient. They want it now.
That's because they don't know what to build that will be a successful product, so they essentially try to brute force this question of "what to build" by trying different ideas quickly and see which one will stick. And in this quick iteration loop people just throw bunch of stuff together to make something and once that something gains traction they will keep piling on top of that shaky foundation.
In same price range you can get a PC that not only has more ram but also has better multicore performance, better disk speed and better port selection. Yes neo wins on build quality, trackpad, speaker, display and battery life but the PC would also allow you to install any linux distro.
I can install Linux on the Windows laptop and not on macbook neo.
To access any tweet without being on X, replace x.com with xcancel.com
Did you learn arithmetic in school even though calculator exist?
Google systemd GUI and you will find many such tools.
Sounds like someone KPI was to increase Bing hit.
Looking at this IBM pc keyboard image in this article, where all the function keys are on the left, it makes sense that Alt+F4 and other similar shortcut on Windows made sense at that time, but these days function keys being at top row make such keyboard shortcuts unergonomic.
My assumption here is that if the link is web link it will open that link in web browser but Windows (and other OSes) have custom URL handlers that open whatever app is registered for that URL and that app may have issues that causes it to download and run arbitrary code.
Usually a Wayland compositor just do very few things like compose different program windows to your display output and feed the focused window input events. Desktop elements like wallpaper, panel/dock etc are considered part of "desktop shell". Gnome have mutter as compositor and gnome-shell as shell (although they are same process). KDE has Kwin as compositor and plasma-shell as desktop shell.
This should not be hard. Lets start with 1) Allow local accounts without any tricks 2) Don't treat Windows as a funnel to push other MS products.
Agree. They should make the desktop UI similar to what is there on ChromeOS or Samsung Dex. The top bar doesn't make sense at all.
WSLg also works on Windows 10.
So the "hardware failure" happening exactly at the same time the Windows update installation failed are not related? That sounds like a one in a billion kind of coincident.
