Maybe that’s what they though but it’s not what they said.

Here they are, now I need to find glue.
This is transparent tpu. Big is straight from file, small is 2mm.

- Comment on We shouldn't have to go to college in order to afford a house by 30. 2 weeks ago:
You kidding me dude? I’m past 40 and not chance to own a house. Grad and masters degree, working in IT. Ah and uni was good and free. granted that was in the developing world, now living in 1st world, but still no house.
When I was 7 my parents owned a house AND bought a beach house.

What’s common crawl?
- Comment on China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs 2 weeks ago:
Oh yeah if this advances fast it may be a product in 5 to 10 years.
- Comment on Edible Wood 3 weeks ago:
Not a chance they can make a restaurant like this in Argentina. They are one of the most reluctant people to try different foods.
Also I’m double sceptical since the same article says it grows in tropical forests in Nicaragua etc, and Argentina has a single smallish area that could be called tropical forest, and that would be a stretch.
- Comment on We always hear/read about Goverments cencoring the internet. What is something that the US is not knowing is being censored? 3 weeks ago:
Classified stuff the CIA does when messing around where it doesn’t belong.

I agree that before it’s a company selling a product it’s just dreams.
However this is serious research. Skip the journo and open the nature.com link to the scientific article.
For the ones not familiar with nature, it’s a highly regarded scientific magazine. Articles are written by researchers not journalists.

It’s meant to be eaten alive. Perfect if you add a waterproof motor under it
By the way, make sure you kill it before swallowing. Don’t make it like silly Riker that got stomach parasites.

Ah found the extrovert
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 4 weeks ago:
It’s not because of ai because ai is good enough to recognise meaning across languages and dialects. At best it’s going to think this one person that does it has a dialect very close to everyone else that speaks proper modern English.
But yeah that’s the claim the single person doing it repeats. I personally think they’re trolling everyone but ai.

Yep
- Comment on Lifespan of AI Chips: The $300 Billion Question - CITP Blog 5 weeks ago:
It’s a circular grift all around. They found a way to ensure that either everyone wins or everyone loses, and everyone keeps putting chips on the gambling table and nobody calls anyone’s bluff.
Except NVIDIA who’s the only one providing something that’s not a commodity.

Just curious, would Kobo and others keep updates going for longer?
- Comment on The Full Story of BOOX: How a Chinese Startup Revolutionized the Global E-Reader Market 1 month ago:
Mate I checked for you.
I have a poke 3.
In 2022 there were like 3 updates spaced out over the year.
In December 2023 there was another one.
Then nothing more since.
- Comment on Artificial Neurons Communicate Directly With Living Cells 1 month ago:
Wow it’s really cool, there’s potential to do many things, such as making a processor chip based on proteins instead of silicon. Obviously not for replacing current CPUs but to do analog computing - the kind of computing that both artificial AND natural intelligence do - with really low power. According to the experiments, 1/10th of the voltage (about 0.1V), which means 1/100 of the power since power comes from voltage squared.
As many other cool things we see in spectrum and nature magazines, this is very very far from being a start up and I may never hear from this topic ever again. But it’s dang cool how they found a bacteria that produces conductive wires from proteins.

I’ve probably got one (minor) update in my 4 or 5 years owning it. It would probably be nice getting security updates, but honestly all android versions are pretty much same thing to me since nougat.

- Comment on The Full Story of BOOX: How a Chinese Startup Revolutionized the Global E-Reader Market 1 month ago:
I got an update about last year that lets you configure per app the max times it does a fast redraw before a full one. So I keep web browsers high for quick scrolling, and ebooks low because they can flip whole page at once.
- Comment on The Full Story of BOOX: How a Chinese Startup Revolutionized the Global E-Reader Market 1 month ago:
I have one and the only thing that would make me consider changing would be buying another with colour.
I can read any newspaper that has an android app, or in extreme situation, run any browser I want.

Web developers have no say on this, when their bosses demand for more pop ups and bigger logos that stay in your face for longer.

I could nitpick many inaccuracies in what you just said, but the main message that they are not profitable is on point.
- Comment on Why Do Co-Op Stores Only Work in Small Towns? 1 month ago:
The theory is good but in practice we know it’s the greed that drives the prices. Just look at what the big ones charge compared to local grocer with less middle men.

I think that’s the one I have, but please explain what mainline Linux kernel means? Would it be about installing bare Linux instead of Android?
