Modems were slow and a monthly cost that tied up people’s phone lines. This was another way to get people online. It wasn’t a given thing that we think of nowadays.

Why is it a floating window and not a frame? Great work, btw

You don’t think the country is mismanaged?

Strange reading an article like this covered in ads

One would have to assume that this was by design.

In every AI prediction there is an obvious underestimating of the actual difficulties faced by workers and planners so the tool to automate those intelligent tasks always way underperform what a person is capable of with the notable exception of merging the automation with human tasks as an augment. And that is a totally ‘nother topic. But thanks for the investment money.

Must be serendipity as I’ve been working on a TUI drama nd drop designer like a terminal Visual Basic 4. I’ve tried Visual Basic for dos and it was as streamlined as the windows version

Thanks for the extensive write up

Hilariously, the MacBook neo has the same taskbar issues since it was what Microsoft copied. No one is getting replaced so I’ll guess they’ll just add some customizations to make it more Mac-like to win users back.

It seems like a lot is being left out. What is considered sufficiently wealthy and why are they going off grid?

I decided to switch after notepad++ got hacked.

It sounds like internally it’s a checklist item they have to mention everywhere.

Strange how people never say this with swift and objc

I’m actually glad because it seems like we are finally leaving behind the flat design that started in iOS 7, if I remember correctly. I’m not sure it would be good to go full skeuomorphic but at least a button looks more like a button again

Thanks for posting this here. I star’d the project. Getting a portable computer with a minimal flexible and previously well supported operating system was one of my goals for the esp32 as well. I’ll be watching for more.

Merry Christmas to All

It does seem like it is trying to force a trend without giving one solid reason.

They don’t do the shutdown anymore if it’s any consolation, but they do slow down approvals.

Maybe they could use Claude and speed up that development.

I’d say the consumer front end is more of an afterthought. It also seems like something they want to get rid of at some point so that they have to deal with the resellers like Microsoft did in the 90s with MS Windows

Heh, when you started talking about venturing outside I thought you were going to talk about in real life meat space.phones and tablets really freed us up but we still don’t leave our house to go on the internet for discussions. Funny with all that freedom the untethered life gets us.

Did China perform daily mass human sacrifice, too?

I looked at the top 25 grossing apps on iOS and Android. There is only one explicitly ai app and it’s the one that ran a Super Bowl commercial, ChatGPT. I don’t see the demand from regular consumers. When or if it grosses top in the charts then it arrived. It’s more windows 3.0 than windows 95.

They probably weren’t allowed around you if you were eating peanut butter. Did you eat a lot of peanut butter growing up?

Free hosting?

Are LLM’s capable of time travel because it looks it also created all these cookie cutter websites in 2013

Every general purpose computer eventually becomes a game console.

It’s retro computing, diy or AI at this point.

So this is a ghost kitchen. Link if anyone is interested in this business model. I don’t consider virtual kitchen as good of as a term since people are not virtually working there but have a time share rental of the space like renting computer time.
