That was the reason I switched back to F-Droid. Had serious problems with updating and stuff, no problems with F-Droid so far. I don’t use it that much anyways, most of my apps are already installed. When searching for new apps F-Droid has a big category selection which is nice.

Page up/down works just fine.

Buy it, destroy it. Just like buying bunch of old books, train their LLM’s and burn it. Humanity has gone a long way to be that stupid.

Well local models are getting better. Open weight models are a real thread to their business. OpenAI’s prices certainly wouldn’t stay that low if they were the only player. Their prices are not profitable at the moment anyway.

I was in the same spot as you when using the official youtube app on a tablet. I enjoyed watching but it was hard to control it and easy to waste a lot of time. Things got way healthier when not using the official app. I still watch youtube but I use NewPipe on android, there are options to disable a lot of distraction. Deleting the app and stay logged out when visiting youtube was the only thing that really helped.

So technically they could restrict every device then even if you bought it.

I wouldn’t call it open. It’s still painful to install/maintain it with all the bullshit Apple came up with.

CS:GO was fun, they really stripped it down with CS2. Since release we only get 3 maps for Arms Race mode. Sadly all they add is new skins and other gambling features.

Fucking Trump era needs to end!

Ryzen “Pro” too (their business line).

Can you put extra RAM in it?

Ok true that. Guess we’re supposed to be happy to be able to buy at least. What a crazy time…

Why would hardware manufacturers want you to rent compute? They want to sell hardware, that’s what they do. Problem is AI tech bros are buying everything they can so that consumer fall short.

I bought 2x16GB DDR4 for 60€ new in Germany, that was summer 2024. The same kit is now around 225€.

Not really, DDR4 has gone up 3-4x the price as well.

I do like Spongebob!

Why is that?

Got into Inside this week. What a fun little game, the atmosphere is top notch. I play this at night on my laptop with a controller and headphones on, great stuff.

I like RawTherapee the best out of these.
