Short-form vertical video social platforms are here to stay.
We are not going to turn back the clock. I say this as someone who doesn't use TikTok.
The only semi-realistic (and I use this term very casually) option would be some sort of radical, never-seen-before change in our global societal and socioeconomic models. The dynamics of short form video social media will be the least of our concerns in such a scenario.
Just high-level generic information. I am just curious what sort of use cases would require someone to manage a server, but still have challenges with using a slightly different UI.
...the new company — named “/dev/agents” — will revisit the leaders’ “Android roots.”
The company is working on a cloud-based “next-gen operating system for AI agents” intended “for trusted agents to work with users across all of their devices,”
These guys had enough "edge" to give Carl Pei and his Nothing venture a run for their money.
It remains to be seen if this anything more than a fishing expedition to cash on some VC/investor money.
But the main thing is this while story is some bizarre idea that a new device getting nearly 1% of global sales in its first quarter is doing badly?
There was a lot of hype for this and some sketchy work by Qualcomm around benchmarks (initially posted benchmarks that were based on a linux setup with 100% custom cooling, none of the released products came close to this result and it's not really viable to run Linux on Snapdragon X devices even to this day).
Ars Technica - Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite looks like the Windows world’s answer to Apple Silicon
The Verge - Qualcomm’s next round of PC chips will fight Apple under the name Snapdragon X

Monitors aren’t being pumped full of this stuff and so won’t the premium televisions.
I have a feeling premium TVs won't escape adware/spyware either. They can get their margin on the hardware and earn some more money on spyware; I don't see what incentive they have to not do both. I hope I am wrong though.
I suspect in the near future it will be impossible to buy a TV without spyware/adware. The only option will be to not connect it to the internet and run your own Raspberry PI/SBC based solution.
The OEM's Android variant is defining element with respect to bloatware. Qualcomm as such does not add bloatware (at least I haven't encountered any or heard about this).
It's fair to call people who white-wash authoritarianism, genocide and roleplay as communists tankies.
This is not a matter of different opinions. They openly support the russian invasion, the atrocities of the russian occupation and reject Ukrainian identity and self-determination.
Beautiful irony to see this coming from Sam "Worldcoin" Altman.
Bonus points, try inputting a prompt into ChatGPT asking whether Sam Altman is an oligarch and his "rescue" of Worldcoin executives in Kenya is an example of oligarch power.
