Rekall is a company that provides memory implants of vacations, where a client can take a memory trip to a certain planet and be whoever they desire.

  • Have you ever lived in a non-Western country? Or are you parroting some random copytext you saw online?

  • I hope this is satire, but this being Threadi I have my doubts.

  • much cheaper sodium-ion battery

    To my understanding, these aren't suitable for many use cases we associate with batteries (smartphones, EVs, laptops), but it has the potential to have a massive impact on utility scale battery systems and industrial use cases.

  • This sounds like a much better approach.

  • I've been using Nova since Android 4.x and I am really did not want to switch, but it sounds like I have no other option now.

    It's going to be a pain; multiple family members use Nova on their smartphones/tablets and they are used to the interface.

    Can Lawnchair be customized to replicate Nova?

  • You're asking for trouble if you allow LLMs to directly access your system. I am no expert, but it seems like something that cannot be addressed with using currently popular approaches.

  • The price seems to be $400 (American style list price, so the real price is going to be closer to $440), but yeah that's still pretty high what it is.

  • Agreed, PC handhelds have basically eaten the gamer phone market (and they arguably offer a lot more choice).

    Not to mention flagships and upper-range phones will continue to get better and eat the lower end of the "gamer phone" market.

  • I don't think they'll bother, they get oil from the russians at a massive discount relative to world markets.

  • I do like the design (as someone who grew up in the 90s and early 2000s, but I do wish they took a more retro-fusion aesthetic (just slightly smaller bezels and larger screen) and approach to features (higher native resolution of say 1024×768), especially since it's not a real CRT.

  • I don't doubt that Nvidia is capable of a powerful chip solution, but price (especially with the current situation) and broader ecosystem support are open questions. This applies both to WoA and the higher costs available with servicing high end ARM laptops (much of the world is a lot more price sensitive than the US).

    This being Nvidia, I don't really expect much. I am looking forward to seeing performance and efficiency benchmarks.

  • Seems like a niche use case (in context of laptops). If you really need unified memory, wouldn't you be using a desktop?

  • This makes sense, smartphones have become commoditized, even mid-range devices have been good enough since 2020 or so. Even the camera advantage that flagships used to have isn't that big of a deal these days.

  • I wonder if the prediction that China will hit peak oil in 2027 will come true. This will have a massive impact on oil markets.

  • LibreTorrent worked fine for me when I used it for a few months (I generally use a home SBC and desktop).

  • I stand corrected. :)

  • I live in Excel and PowerPoint, for games messing around with mods/config is fine, for work I cannot deal with random edge cases. PowerBI is Microsoft's visualization platform, I am actually not a big fan of it (for the area where I work, I could see it being fine in other cases), but this is not something that's going to change quickly.

    There is indeed a version of Teams for Linux. I really need to get a new laptop and try dual boot, I am behind the times on desktop.

    I’d also recommend using a laptop with two SSDs if possible, one for linux and one for windows, to alleviate some of the headaches in dual booting.

    Good to know, I only buy 17" inch laptops (thinking of going 18", but the selection is a lot worse), so I might even be able to get one with dual SSDs.

  • I am planning to do some experiments once I get a new laptop (which I will dual boot). I think gaming support has increased massively since I last tried it 5+ years ago (my usage of linux is via DIY SBC home server).

    Office/PowerBI/Teams and some other business applications (where the web version does not cut it) is the real dealbreaker.

    That being said, I am not moving to Windows11, so I have three year to prepare to move to Linux (and I suspect Win10 will be supported even after that).

  • It's funny how American oligarchs wax theatrical about "da AI revolution" and yet they can't even solve basic issues in an application store or follow their own publishing guidelines (Twitter/Grok CSAM features).

    Bunch of liars and criminals.
