Their history of committment in supporting their hardware is too far from pleasing. I wouldn't touch Google hardware again (other than Pixels) with the tip of my toe.

Stroller can be seen has specialised handcart.

There is a guy ( Nicolò Guarrera ) who completed a world tour by walk and his tool of choice to transport stuffs was a trekking stroller.

Good for them. Good for "the planet" (and uh... Tesla I suppose). But... most of incentives for the transition has been substantially funded by the nation's massive oil and gas revenues.

I wonder what they will do next with that obscene amount of money.

This smells like DRM and planned obsolescence to me.

In a side news, they announced the death of Fleet.

This is sad for me because I found it good enough to integrate it in my daily workflow.

I hope they at least consider to drop it on GitHub and allow people to give it a chance as community project.

This will be transient. Marketing and companies eventually will find a way to pollute LLMs to bend, comply to their strategies and fuck consumers.

SEO wasn't a thing before '97.

Families who choose Montessori school for their children usually avoid them have access smartphone, TV or internet in general.

Also, they are often in the wealthy, upper class so can enforce that kind on environment.

What about sharing GPU across multiple VMs? Isn't Nvidia walled this feature behind unreasonably high price features?

New comment by s17tnet in "Jellyfin 10.10.0"

Keep them airgapped or use a smart HDMI stick, their support typically outperform anything from the TV vendor and you can install apps (e.g. Jellyfin) on them. If you dislike Google or Amazon there are some Linux based options.

There is also HDMI over-radio but I don't know its limits (range, bandwidth, latency).

Is this still true in 2024? AFIK, modern ( everything after 2010) ACs, pumps and refrigerator use ozone neutral gas like HFC.

The productivity after the second screen decrease because the software sucks at support those configurations.

With specialized software ( multi track AV) and/or ad hoc setup ( e.g. deeply tuned Linux) the more the screens you throw at it, the better.

Anecdtoal, my retired relative worked in civil avio jet engine industry and they got reports like that since mid-00.

Probably it is more common.

Highly regulated, certificated sector where a single bolt can be dozen time expansive "just" for a FAA approval is an honey jar.

I hope I won't spoil it (it is a book saga from decades ago) but that is a major plot point of Shannara cycle.

HAXE also targets JVM [0] but it is not traditional.
