AI is already being used to help detect cancers and other illnesses. The medical innovations aren’t as attention grabbing unfortunately. Can’t say I’m much of a fan of other AI uses myself either.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Qualcomm and Intel can't sell chips to Huawei anymore, report claims⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I actually bought a Huawei Matebook in February 2019 (2018 model) from the Microsoft store for just over $1300. You know, the MacBook ripoff one? It was just a few months before they were banned. Honestly, that thing is still a solid laptop.

Okay battery life, really good specs, super light, amazing display. Unfortunately heats up a lot and throttles under load, but not terrible. I mainly got it for music production with Ableton Live 10, and still use it for that. Gaming is meh but can play some games at modest settings. Good for Photoshop and Premiere. Great for basic computer use. It even barely had any bloatware installed. I suppose there could be some backdoor for spying as is often rumored, but it’s really not something I am that concerned about.

I guess it’s a shame they got banned. I feel like there’s nothing else in the PC market like it. These days it seems like I’m better off buying a MacBook Pro given my hobbies.

Lack of Ableton Live support is also why I probably won’t switch to Linux. Even though years ago I used to dual boot Ubuntu and quite liked it as an OS, the lack of DAW support is the real deal breaker for me too. Ableton Live is just too good and I know it too well to switch away from it.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Phones should have FM radio again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
My comment pertains to the USA, but regardless of where you live, there is a very strong likelihood that your local commercial stations are owned by a company like iHeartRadio and much, if not all, of the content is syndicated.

The only exception might be a local nonprofit radio station. You probably have at best one local station in this case, unless you live in a major city broadcast region. Keep in mind I mean one local station that plays music. A local NPR station is probably separate from this. Even most of NPR is syndicated, however.

If you’re lucky, a local college might still have a radio station broadcasting over FM, but so many have moved online since you then don’t need an [expensive and volatile] FCC license.
