I’m not so paranoid, but at the same time, will it actually be useful? This sounds like a way to generate a mountain of data with minimal benefit. I don’t really trust AI at the moment to be able to help me with some vague recollection of work that was done 3 weeks ago, for example (I go through a lot of cases each month).

Like I’ve said elsewhere, the fediverse tends to have a lot of paranoid zealots. It’s a bit offputting really.

Ok, that is pretty bad. As mentioned, I’ve had it happen once. I use the app search function a lot, which I’ve set to the swipe up gesture, and it just stopped working that day. Had to find a way to force reset the launcher. Having that happen every 2-3 days to multiple times a day would be a dealbreaker for me.

I’ll still be using Windows (no time for Linux), but really, why does the user have to do this for a pleasant experience? MS shouldn’t be hostile towards their users.

Don’t forget, control the sale of data too. Audits etc to make sure they comply with privacy safeguards, and so on.

This is just pandering as well as, I suspect, to give a corporate donor a profit-making business.

I think this is more tied with advertising analytics, but I share the same opinion. I don’t love it, but it’s not a killer. The fediverse tends to attract a more idealistic and paranoid crowd, which I don’t think is reflective of how most people are.

Hmm, I’ve had it happen once, thought it was odd. Are you on a Samsung too, like the other comment? How often does it happen?

Honestly, don’t care. Until it gets shitty (which it still has a good chance of doing so), I’ll continue to use it.

Ah, right, I don’t have AI on my phones. Can’t you just ignore them though?

That’s just a you thing, the two I mentioned are earbuds.

Ooo, I like how you use the IKEA boxes for that.

I’m partial to the succulent ones, those look so cute.

Despite this community’s paranoia, I still use Nova. Can’t find anything that works as well yet.

Disclaimer that I bought the pro version for 99 cents way way back, so I’ve gotten my mileage out of that.

Also if you don’t mind Microsoft, the MS launcher isn’t too bad too. I’m using that on the work phone.

Huh, I’ve always updated and there’s usually not much change. There are some minor ones but they don’t affect my day-to-day. The biggest ones the major version changes, but even then it’s usually a new font or some minor display tweak more than anything. I haven’t felt like it’s been disruptive.

I have earphones that are 15-20 years old (UE Triple-fi 10s and Yuin PK2s, the first wave of Chi-fi products), 2-3 year (or even 5) lifespan for audio products is insane.

Huh, Ha Long Bay is a ghost town? It’s one of the most crowded places in Vietnam, I didn’t go there when I went because it has a reputation of a factory; tourists in, tourists out, on a schedule.

ITT: People who just read the headlines and not the article, and then going off on their own Windows rant/Linux evangelism instead of discussing the article.

At a tech-based non-profit I worked at, we got a lot of donated stuff, including a number of 34" ultrawides. I ended up liking them more than I expected. I think they’ll be fine for gaming, provided your GPU can deal with the resolution.

Do you think I can get away wih just a GPU + PSU upgrade, or would the 2600x cause too great a bottleneck at target resolution/details/fps to ignore?

Absolutely; upgrades are about maximising frames per $ spent. Does it give you a significant boost while avoiding the cost of a new PC? I actually went with a GTX 1070 on an Intel i7 920 for a few years before I upgraded to a new PC with a 3700x. I got a 20% boost in FPS on average, but the old combination still worked well for the games I was playing.

Content is all on the people contributing to the wiki, it’s not Fandom’s problem.

The shite experience though, totally is Fandom’s.

This place really hates MS. Can’t believe some of the comments here.
