If you see me on the side of the road with my helmet behind my bike, though, I’m asking you to do more than wave. That’s a bit of signaling we do to other riders (and the occasional kind driver) to say we need help.

Imagine asking chatgpt and it tells you to "Google it"

I don't know about computationaly expensive. Once video is processed, it's mostly just a fancy CDN.

They don't know, they're just trying to smoke him out.

You can go a long way with a touchscreen, but the most annoying thing for me is that in Terminal, using touchscreen selects text instead of scrolling. Other than that, mouse is hardly necessary.

There's "VPN by Google" and "Google One VPN". Maybe it's the former that's being discontinued?

Not for me, i just checked again. I can drag what appears to be a thumbnail and it doesn't behave like a window so i can't snap it to the side or the grid, and the window is still there so even if there are no other tabs in that window i can't move the tab to merge with a window below as it's covered by the first window.

I know I'm a tab juggler 🤹‍♂️

Smartphones still take better photos but they compensate for the optics with software. If you stick that large of a lens into a smartphone, the battery would be too small. Not ti mention the extra moving parts required for retractable lens.

Last i checked on Fedora (40) it didn't work for me. Firefox also had worse touchscreen support.

I like Firefox as it performs better and uses less resources, the main friction for me would be moving all the passwords from google password manager. I'd also like to keep them in sync with chrome as I'll still get probably use chrome on other devices, including android.

In the US it's called "tipping"

Dragging chrome tab to another screen. On windows and chrome os it works fine, i can drag a tab from one window and it becomes a separate window i can place anywhere.

On Linux, as soon as i move the tab, the new window is created but I'm no longer dragging it. It annoys me greatly because i often want to move tab to the other half of the screen, or another screen and i can't do it in one motion.

 

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 7 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?
