  • Oh, I agree it’s definitely a good thing but it’s also good for kids to be without it as well and learn how to be bored. Because one day the battery will die or they’ll need to sit through something boring and not able to whip out their phone out.

    I struggled quite a bit missed in college to pay attention without just getting my phone or phone out and zoning out (which I’m not convinced may have been from undiagnosed ADD or something similar, but I still needed to learn to keep my attention on something less exciting)

  • I think this genuinely valuable research. Attention spans in kids are nearly non-existent. My own daughter refuses to be in a long car ride without her tablet.

    A small help/guide about how to use this great technology to my child’s benefit rather than detriment is fine with me.

  • I think that’s what sets this one apart (and makes it less expensive) from the other devices like this. This thing only needs a mic, an LLM and a Bluetooth radio. It won’t search the whole internet for answers or tell you what you’re looking at, but it will talk shit on that bitch Tonya in accounting with you.

  • Someone much smarter than me can weigh in, but wouldn’t that be preferable in a place that could regularly see massive storms?

    This way the whole state doesn’t lose power because a hurricane obliterated part of the state?

    And I’m sure those grids must sell power between themselves when necessary.

  • My eyes were bad. Like couldn’t see something three feet from my face bad. I’m 6 feet tall, so walking without glasses was out of the question. The first night I got up to pee and didn’t have to hunt for my glasses was magical.

  • Yeah, I see both parts of this.

    BOOX advertises “Super Refresh” which makes eink almost able to play a YouTube video. There’s a lot of software (and probably hardware) development there.

    Google still issues security patches for Android 12 as well.

    It could be much worse. At least BOOX issues updates….

  • I get that we have to impress shareholders, but why can’t they just be honest and say it doubles CPU performance with the chance of even further improvement with software optimization. Doubling performance of the same hardware is still HUGE.

  • We switched from Dell to Lenovo at work and the amount of times I’ve had to totally reformat a computer for something just randomly not working right and not being able to find another fix for it has gone to almost zero. Before, with 20 computers, every couple months we had to reformat at least one laptop.

    Not a single person has complained about missing Dell in two years.
