All the new AMD Chips have had an integrated fTPM for quite some time. Dunno what else the problem could be. But as long as you don't really need Windows, I'd go Linux.

Reuters say "Crashes in Mountains", which seems slightly more dramatic.

Helicopter carrying Iran's President Raisi crashes in mountains, official says

On the contrary, that's why it works very well for me.

I do that too, but I try to somehow end up at "we could all die".

Also acceptable.

I agree in principle, but the software speaking to you is kinda the whole point of an LLM.

I mean, those models are overconfident all the time. They could at least go "This conversation is over", all Sovereign like.

I find this "playful" UX design that seems to be en vogue incredibly annoying. If your model has ended the conversation, just say that. Don't say it might be time to move on, if there isn't another option.

I don't want my software to address me as if I were a child.

but I don't see why a one plus should be any better than Xiaomi

It likely isn't. I just got it very cheap some years back, and don't see a good reason to replace it while it still works.

a random ROM with possible unknown interference should be safer/better regarding privacy

You could always have bad actors, of course, but these Roms tend to be mostly open source community projects, so the incentive structure leading to bad behaviour seems less clear to me, and such behaviour would theoretically be more detectable (how much anyone actually audits the code in practice is another question, of course.) In the end, running any Software you haven't written yourself involves a certain amount of trust.

That does make sense, I guess. I forget that most people aren't hardcore privacy nuts sometimes. I'm currently on a OnePlus with a custom rom, which'll probably be good for a few more years, but the only new phone I'd consider at the moment would be a pixel with Graphene.

I get people buying cheap Xiaomi phones because they can't afford a more expensive phone. I kinda don't get why people buy expensive Xiaomi phones.

Because telling them "I'm not allowed to answer that question." isn't going to make them look it up themselves anyway. I mean, you could lie to them, but I can't imagine that being a popular policy.

Even if the sentiment behind this wasn't so horrid, this'd still be stupid.

If you wanna court the laptop oem market, windows is the safer bet.

Depending on how in-depth they co-operated with the windows for arm team, keeping some details confidential till launch might have also been easier that way.

Haven't read into this too much, but I think the affected person that made this get attention was a solo dev that was prototyping a solution for one of his customers.

And the reason he raised a stink was because he had a huge bill, as the name he chose for his bucket was by chance the same an open source project used as a sample bucket name, so whenever someone deployed it without first customising the config, it was pinging his bucket and getting a 403.

Edit: Here's his original medium post / Archive

Yeah, but the article itself uses a downsized version of the image. Actually being able to see a lot more detail when opening the full size one is nice.

Torx till I die.

Lucky for me, I can't afford a backyard.

Can confirm, my brother is a furry and on bluesky.

Why does that sound like a threat?

Haven't played in forever, but this seems like they're selling an A-rated, non-engineered ship. Don't think this is pay to win. I don't like it, but the game has been going for 10 years, and Frontier doesn't seem to be doing great financially, so it might have well been this or shutting it down entirely.
