Something tells me the companies sabotaged the smaller phones so they can charge more for the giant "pro" devices.

I opted for the smaller pixel 9pro last year because i didn't have to compromise (it has the same specs as 9pro xl). My previous phone was 7 pro, it was the bigger model and if i went for the smaller 7 model, I'd have to forego the telephone camera.

I really like the smaller 9pro over my previous 7pro phablet. The size ia more manageable, although it's probably still larger than the early smartphones, but since we moved to touchscreena, larger screens are necessary for typing. The larger size also houses bigger battery necessary to power the display whose resolution has gone way up over the years.

Schadenfraude and all, but I'm still against vandalism and damaging other people's property.

I have a backpack for a cat as well. One benefit over bike-mounted solution is shock absorption. When i ride over bumps, i can stand on the pedals and the shaking doesn't get transferred to the cat as much as it would if it were mounted directly to the frame.

If the words meaning has changed, what's to new word to use when we mean literally (in its original meaning)?

Hi, what do you like about boox nova? I have the Paperwhite (2022) and wondering if there's a better alternative that isn't Amazon. I do enjoy the page turn animation, does boox have it too?

And there are weekends, holidays, etc.

Besides you can squeeze in some of these as a part of your job, like walking.

 

For me it's This Week In Google.

I listen to it every week and between new episodes I listen to the archival episodes I haven't heard yet.

 

Santa Clara, CA — In a move that's already sending shockwaves through the tech industry, Nvidia announced today that it will be rebranding to "Nvidai" to better reflect its integral role in the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution.

"We've been at the forefront of AI development for years," said Jensen Huang, CEO of the newly christened Nvidai, in a press conference that featured holographic projections of the company’s latest AI models. "It's only fitting that our name reflects our commitment to this groundbreaking technology. Plus, it sounds cooler."

The change comes as Nvidai continues to dominate the AI hardware market with its state-of-the-art GPUs, which have become essential for training and deploying complex machine learning models. "Frankly, we're tired of people thinking our name is just a clever abbreviation for 'Nifty Video Interface, Duh,'" Huang quipped. "It's time to set the record straight."

Reactions from the tech community have been mixed. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, tweeted, "Great move by Nvidai. Now they just need to change 'GeForce' to 'AIForce' and they'll be set. #brandinggenius." Meanwhile, Intel's CEO was reportedly seen scribbling potential new names for his company, including "IntellAI" and "InteLLigence."

Despite the excitement, the rebranding effort has not been without its challenges. Early reports indicate that the transition has caused some confusion among consumers. One Twitter user lamented, "Just bought a brand new 'Nvidai' graphics card, and now my rig won't stop trying to pass the Turing Test. Send help."

However, Huang remains optimistic. "This is just the beginning," he said, hinting at future product lines that will feature AI-enhanced everything—from gaming experiences that adapt in real-time to your skill level, to AI-powered GPUs that can predict the stock market. "We're not just Nvidia anymore. We're NvidAI. The future is here, and it's got a neural network."

As the company embarks on this new chapter, tech enthusiasts worldwide are left to ponder one pressing question: how do you even pronounce "Nvidai"?

X1 yoga or x280? (self.thinkpad)
submitted 9 months ago by Michal to c/[email protected]
 

I am looking to get a secondhand ThinkPad as my secondary laptop. Im currently undecided between X1 yoga g3, or x280.

I want a lightweight laptop to replace my old t440. I like yoga because it's a convertible and this may be useful to watch movies in tent mode or use it as a tablet to browse internet. My main concern is the power button which I hear is easy to break and impossible to fix.

X280 is more lightweight and compact, but the screen resolution is lower than x1.

Both have soldered ram, so not upgradeable. I would be getting an 8GB laptop as 16gb is hard to find around here. Does cpu make a big difference? I will be installing Fedora on it.

 

Seems pointless and inconvenient for me as they usually seem to be poor quality, and can you really listen to music in the shower, and are you showering long enough to benefit from it?

Or do you own one and use for a different purpose, like swimming or Kayaking?
