A robot doesn't need to be anthropomorphic, an assembly line robot is still a robot. It does however need to be able to perform some actions autonomously, for which a vibrator hardly qualifies.

Yes, it says so in the first paragraph

Still doesn't allow background playback though, so it's useless to me

I don't think there has ever been a PPU on the GPU. It did originally run on PPU cards by Ageia, but AFAIK PhysX on GPU:s used CUDA GPGPU right from the start.

Mirror's Edge actually had a place with tons of broken glass falling down, where the framerate would drop into the single digits if it used CPU PhysX. I remember that because it shipped with an outdated PhysX library that would run on the CPU even though I had an Nvidia GPU, so I had to delete the game's PhysX library to force it to use the version from the graphics driver, in order to get it to playable performance. If you didn't have an Nvidia driver you would need to disable PhysX for that segment to be playable.

Maybe we'll get that in the EU someday

Though that's not where you would use HDMI. I would argue for TV:s, 4k is generally enough, and HDMI 2.1 already has enough bandwidth for 4k 120 Hz 12 bit-per-color uncompressed.

But DisplayPort, yeah, that could use a bit more.

One thing that you do still need root for however is proper backups. The built-in backup system is tied to Google, and it's very limited in what it will back up, nowhere near what you can do with root backup software like Titanium Backup.

A normal copy consists of a program reading from one file and writing to another. There is no way for the filesystem to do a reflink in that case, it just sees that the program is reading and writing stuff. In order to do a reflink, the program must tell the filesystem what data should be "copied" to where using FICLONE or FICLONERANGE. Though some programs will do that by default if possible nowadays when copying files or when moving files between different subvolumes on the same partition, including the Coreutils cp, mv and install commands and some GUI file managers.

Yes, using KDE Connect, which has had this functionality for ages. Though you're best off using the F-Droid version since Google has severely limited the Play Store version using SAF. Seems like they've they've given Microsoft a pass here even though they've blocked KDE Connect from doing the exact same thing for years.

Where are you? It's gonna defer depending on your country. In most of the world it's available on Netflix.

Where's the part where he suffers?
