You're saying that using the most used operating system from the 90's, the 00's and the 2010's, as well as the number one producitivty desktop publishing software and visual basic would not benefit a user, especially when they had a near zero cost to understand the core concepts of end user computing?

Really?

Always buy opposite, buy low and sell high.

Too many people here buy high and sell low.

When Goldman makes statement, half the time it is prepped by an associate or two that has minimal experience and goes through a MD that enjoys the gloom and doom. That’s why they publish. Goldman makes money on both sides of a trade.

And third, there was a default judgement.

I wonder what was the value of the domain on the open market, its quite a famous domain and probably had high lead generation..

But I agree with the parent comment.

This is so much state overstepping bounds and irony aside, so much for independence and rights by a state that proclaims personal agency comes first.

My midlife crisis car would probably be a land cruiser. No need to go fast. Space and chill is best.

A 3 cylinder Corolla, regardless of how fast, is just people transportation at best and in the worst inefficient way possible. A normal base 23k usd Corolla , not saying anything against the car mechanically it is a great machine for what it is.

Just, overkill. Can’t go fast, need to have higher insurance, it’s more at risk for theft, and it’s not easily replaceable as compared to a 23k corolla.

I did enjoy the Vietnamese part and history of fast and the furious. It’s been a good minute since I’ve seen the first one.

Agree on the list, I would say GT is hardest to get in, but most inexpensive. While the later two are much easier.

I also suggest reading Dr. Joyners’ Reddit posts and books, they helped me quite a bit and I do want to reiterate that if you need help on admission and completed the EDX cs50(?) course, you can personally email him, as it’s stated on one of the last slides.

All around an amazing program that I hope to one day do, but I went the UIUC for business for now.

“ I was ready to enter the workforce and become independent as early as possible. I got into tech through certifications like MCP, MCSA, and A+ (they were all the rage back then), which was enough to land a helpdesk job at 18.”

Same sentiments, if you had an MCSE you were hirable everywhere. A+ put you ahead of the pack and was lifetime back then.

The early 00s were def a time. This is how I started too and also just recently completed my bachelors and now doing a masters.

It's considered tech, adjacent to The Pokemon Company, also in the same area...

It's not just localization and marketing they do have corporate IT and some development/studio as well as very poor security policies that gets them breeched every now and again which makes sense, they pay poorly and from my personal experience gatekeep but that makes sense from the applicants that probably get in their applicant pool.

The author is conflating the internet changed when Cell Phones entered, they were around since the early 00's but really late 2000's was it more practical and introduced the world to the Internet.

Skimming the Article I disagree with 2012/iphone 4. I think it was around the iphone 3gs, but it was when the first iphone was released did the Internet truly change, around 2007. That introduced the idea of most people to a easy portable computing device, even if just a browser at the time of release.

I'm the same age group, but was fortunate enough to have Internet access from 2000 onwards with brief access at my local library (lol) and school.

"The iPhone 5 was released. The first iPad Mini was released. The Wii U was released. Windows 8 & macOS Mountain Lion were the primary operating systems. YouTube, Tinder, & Vine ruled the digital landscape. Perhaps you even watched Gangnam Style on YouTube this year.'

All these are basically what happens after a successful forary of innovation changed how computing was done e.g. 3G.

2012 was full 4G access, though there were pockets around 2010/11 but 3G was there, EDGE, EvDO, etc that enabled interneting through cell phones.

Essentially yes. I would advise not to upload the entire book but a section to work on. You can make it a project and then set a calendar reminder, and hit / create your own structure. You can make a schedule and then do a chapter a day/week type of event.

It helps with speaking and talking. not writing. To me that is ok, I’m stronger learning writing and reading but having the AI enforce me to speak and not be embarrassed is fantastic.

For reference, I’ve passed JLPT N4, and can probably pass N3, until recently I had no true talking or replying experience just reading/writing. Whenever I’d speak, I’d stammer, stutter and overall was anxious. I get it sometimes in English too which is my native language but..

Going back to review previous books, chapters of language books or chapters of children books/intermediate books and manga and set it up as an interactive voice coaching session helped me enforce speaking and communicating in a natural sense. It was what I was doing on italki but then you run into Cost, scheduling and the same spend ten minutes to catch up and review minimum. If you schedule more, 2 hours or such it can get exhausting and can be harder to schedule unless you plan weeks in advance with a popular tutor.

Honestly helped a ton with the minimal amount of work I put into setting it up.

I am doing something similar but mix more simpler and didn’t even get to the stage of building an llm tool. I am just using ChatGPT to distill common learning books and set aside 1 hr thrice a week. I made considerable progress, to me and then I used Italki to confirm.

I used voice mode on ChatGPT to learn the tones for mandarin, and general vocab and sentence structure while for Japanese it helped me expand proper sentence structure greatly.

It sounds silly, but it helped reenforce a base structure that is helpful and having it confirmed by a tutor was nice. Best is I can really do it whenever. What op posted does sound next stage, and I can imagine it’d be a viable platform.

I don’t suggest notebookllm to make an audiobook, I tried and it was the most dryest speech I ever heard. It did sound convincing enough if you were to do a podcast for it and that is what it does.. but it was completely horrid for learning but maybe that’s just me.

The Samsung android flips are great but all this patent pending tech is just configurations on a non basic build of google.

Like the idea, commodore never had me in its nostalgia, too young, idea is cute, t9 keyboard is workable but I disagree that it’s viable. I want to be wrong of course but

Samsung and apple using their fold flip and discipline fixes the other side. People do not want to detox. Going back to a flip won’t fix it.

Same as the glp1 drugs, people knew food was bad, didn’t stop eating. Started body shame movement. Now that movement seems to have gone silent, glp1s fixed obesity seemingly overnight.

So the question is, what is the future glp1 equilivant for digital detox, a simpler phone or a phone that makes it more complicated to get digital services isn’t it.

Then there’s the argument for price, photo quality and all. No one is going to take photos and edit on a desktop in photoshop or Lightroom. Same as for using two phones and transferring esims, their WhatsApp number, etc
