Why the headlines only mentions Apple, when it's for every manufacturer?

The industry will spend billions on R&D to develop such an outrageous solution. Batteries... that can be... replaced! Who could think that would be a good idea?

I suppose that having access to all internet data used to train the AI would make it much easier for human students to pass the exam too.

1987, I was 19, invited a girl (from the same tech highschool I had just finished) to watch Crocodile Dundee (not a date). Yes I know, this is a 1986 movie, but in the age when movies travelled in reels, releases took time to arrive in Brazil.

Arrived at her home, she was still showering. Her older sister (25 years old, just out of college, a Pharmacist) invited me in for a coffee.

Had a coffee with her and their mother. I was mesmerized by older sister. I had given up dating girls about my age, because too much immature fantasy romance. This girl was independent, bewitchingly intelligent, and beautiful.

I was too intimidated to invite her to join us. In my mind, she would answer "oh, sorry, my fiancee is about to arrive" or something like that, which would have crushed me.

So the younger sister finally shows up and invites her to join. She (thinking I was interested in younger sister) asks me "is that ok?" "YES YES Please!".

We went out as friends for some months, then dated for 7 years, while I went through college and got a stable job. Married in 1994.

We're still together, two "kids" (23 year old Nurse degree and 25, 1 year to finish med school).

I did a lot of awesome things in life, but so far the most extraordinary, happened by pure chance, life changing, fortunate, unlock secret ultimate quest event was meeting my wife.

"simply no reason"?

What about ease of use, simplicity, faster to quickly setup, backwards compatibility, and "crobtab is where everyone will look at when looking for a scheduled task"?

If systemd was implemented right, it would create the systemd files and autoconfigure default tasks by reading the crontab, for backwards compatibility.

One of the advantages of Linux over Windows is that if you have a problem and don't give up digging, you'll find the cause - even if you end up digging down to looking at the kernel source and interacting with the developers themselves. With Windows, you quickly get to a dead end ("try rebooting, then format and reinstall").

Honest question: Why is that the only valid question, if crontab works and is much, much simpler to use?

AI says a lot of bs and everybody knows it. But when it says something that can be clickbatey, then it's news.

I remember when every year some new Nostradamus "prediction" became reality, because someone managed to interpret more cryptic bs to fit facts that had already happened (no prediction was interpreted before facts happening; as someone said, it's much easier to predict the future after it happened).

AI is the new Nostradamus.

First Linux servers I installed were RedHat 4.2. I stick with RH until 8.0. Then they stabbed us all in the back, starting to charge for it.

Have you RH users been fooled twice?

I switched to the then (and still?) distro that was most strict in commitment to FOSS - heck, they forked FireFox just because of the logo copyrights - Debian.

(RH to kubunto at home, because Debian then was (is?) too "enterprise" for home, and I wanted to stick to the same packaging)

The only other distro I've been using is SUSE (SLES), because that's what SAP suports for HANA database servers.

SUSE should gradually morph the RH fork into becoming SLES, and always provide an easy automated way to migrate, a one way only route to leave RH.

Yes, but for all the common issues, for which there's a script that 1st level will have to follow anyway, AI can do it. If it forwards to a human when it gets to a dead end - and snoops the conversation to learn from it - then less humans are employed.

Some years ago I opened an issue with Google Pay through the app feedback option.

A CS messaged me in less than 5 minutes. She was so thorough and her texts looked so scripted, that I had to ask "I apologize in advance, but... are you a bot or a human?", because I could be much more concise and less patient in my answers if it was a bot. She solved my issue very efficiently btw, and though it was quite funny that I asked.

PDA: UsRobotics Palm Pilot!

DVD Recorder: No (apart from the one in the desktop), but VHS recorder Yes, a couple of them.

WebTV: No, it was never a thing in my country

3D TV: I knew it would flop, never bought one. But father-in-law was discarding his 49" one, so I got it (don't even have the glasses). So yes, sort of.

Raspberry: Yes, bought one, 1st gen, to experiment for a project at work, but ended up using an ITX SBC, for all the RS232 and USB ports already integrated.

Internet Radio: No

Commenting and posting with portrait works for me:

I don't know. Can I?

I use vi as the command line editor, so fetching history commands is quick:

ESC /searchstring

But if it's something really frequent or may benefit from parameters, I usually throw a perl or bash script in /usr/local/bin.

I left slashdot for reddit, and reddit for lemmy. Those were replacements from my point of view.

I'm not sure what you mean with "replace" in general. Taking over their servers and replacing the actual running software? Or maybe using their domain name for a lemmy instance? Transfer all logins and data to a lemmy instance and delete them from their systems?

Those are unlikely.

Becoming mainstream, having more media attention and influence than reddit? Then becoming more interesting for spammers and infested with lower quality content? Hopefully not.

I appreciate your concern, but it's been 3 months, and it's still holding a good charge.

I suspect it was a single event where it overheated and gassed. I kept using the phone for weeks thinking my phone case had deformed (I didn't notice the small bulge, but the case's power button wasn't aligning well with the phone), before I realized it was the battery.

When it dies, I'll get a new phone. If I still have both hands.

Well you only live twice :-)

I suppose so, and I'm also thinking about additional gasses damaging the phone.

So far so good, it's been 3 months already.

I use my phones until the battery life is too degraded to be practical and the phone is too damaged to have the batt6replaced. My Samsung A71 is about 3 years old. Some months ago I noticed the battery was pillowing. Since it was still holding charge for more than a day, the guy at a repair shop (where I took it to get a new battery) just punched a pinprick to deflate it, and it's still going strong.
