That would happen a lot less if they just used the LiDAR + camera combo like a sane person

But who am I to judge? el*n certainly knows better riiiiigghhht?

Show me how you never programmed anything without telling me

Software should be maintained, not built and forgotten about. Windows encourages the latter, which is just straight up bad practice

Low end 2.4G only devices still exist

Hotspot is pretty nice if you are trying to get an old device online temporarily

Has better range

And as an anectode, l still see at least one 2.4G only device every month.

did you know almost all electricity is generated by a patented apple technology, magnets?

People don’t know about the unreliability of such systems. They also don’t know how simple Tesla’s autopilot is compared to other systems.

As a person who has used OpenCV before, I would never trust a computer vision system. I maybe could trust LiDAR based systems as those can see 3 dimensionally but that’s a big “maybe”.

The weirdest part to me is that one apple engineer who died in a tesla crash. I have no idea how an engineer working in a software company could trust that thing

Well, I use it, I like it, and I can confidently say it’s not for everyone

You gotta think the gnome way. Like, for example, I don’t feel the absence of the minimize button because I adopted gnome’s workspace-based flow

It doesn’t get in my way, I don’t even feel its existence most of the time. Gnome 3 sucked and definitely got in my way but beware that I am talking about gnome 4x here.

May I introduce you to my savior, BTRFS

Oh come on most doctors still view stuff like scans on 720p VGA screens. It’s fine. High resolution imaging is important not hi res viewers.

This is like saying you need to have a 128k screen to view electron microscope images

Why would the medical field need 8k screens? They can just zoom in on a lower res display y’know? Nobody is looking at a screen with a magnifying glass

I think a possible application for 8k displays is the huge displays where the viewer is extremely close to the display. But that would still just be the same pixel density as a lower res display.

Another area I think high pixel density might be useful for is patterning. Like PCB manufacturing and other photoresist stuff. But that’s a problem already solved by much cheaper technologies

Device is set to power saver in this picture but I must say power saver doesn’t seem to be doing much. I don’t notice a reduction in performance nor see a improvement in battery life.

I just leave that on power saver if I am not doing anything resource hungry. Possibly out of habit

I am daily driving a Surface Pro 9

Drivers are okay. I had some problems with screen freezing but these were fixed easily with some kernel params.

With a full battery, I get 6 hours coding in C with VSCode and some browser tabs or 5 hours of YouTube playback. You’ll get about 8-9 hours if you are doing something like writing text

Gnome is fantastic for this form factor. Especially libadwaita stuff, as their HIG plays very nice with touchscreens.

A powerbank will give you practically infinite battery for a whole day. I love this machine so much…

It also kind of takes its roots from my frustration with garbage in my home or leftover bullshit in my root

It’s not viable to ditch native packages 100% (like immutable distros). But a combination of two is pretty comfortable imo

But as I said, I am not comfortable with the way flatpak does some things

Small SSD + compression is faster than HDD with no compression ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Plus I’ve been planning to upgrade my (8gb) RAM and SSD, for like, the last 5 years? Never gonna upgrade lol

Exactly what I’m talking about. It reminds me of the time microsoft introduced memory compression to compensate for every application bringing it’s own DLLs

But I still think flatpak is superior to windows way of doing things because it actually has dependency management. I kinda like the idea of having multiple versions of the same library but I wish they did not come in big bundles (runtimes), but instead, came in small 1-2MB pieces.

download random binaries from non-trusted distributors that contain a copy of every library that software needs to run

This is overexaggeration. Flatpak, unlike places windows users get software from, is moderated, and flatpak (although chunky) has shared dependencies

I feel shame when I go to reddit because I hate seeing “Yaaaay!!! 10 day streak!!! You are addicted woooohooooo!!!”

Oh my god they were debuggers!
