There is the Linux-based Jolla phone:

But their UI framework and Android app support system are not open source.

I wouldn’t trust a local LLM solution from a large American company. Not saying that they would try to “pull a quick one”, but they are unreliable and corrupt.

Nadella maybe knows a lot more than any of us about LLMs/GenAI tech, but one doesn’t need to know anything about LLMs (or even technology) to know that an oligarch like Nadella cannot be trusted (in any context).

Thanks for the suggestion, I am so not looking forward to moving the family off Nova (lots of tech support), but it must be done.

Of course, of course!

You’re not at all engaging in demagoguery and trying cheaps tricks (no one can read the thread OP what it says specifically)! So what kind of discussion can there be about no one buying into your narrative, right?

Right, so because I don’t believe the following:

China is a democracy with 9 political parties … You’re allowed to criticize the government … [GIA conspiracy gibberish]

This makes me a “doomsday cult leader”.

Sure, thing! ;)

Have you ever lived in a non-Western country? Or are you parroting some random copytext you saw online?

I hope this is satire, but this being Threadi I have my doubts.

much cheaper sodium-ion battery

To my understanding, these aren’t suitable for many use cases we associate with batteries (smartphones, EVs, laptops), but it has the potential to have a massive impact on utility scale battery systems and industrial use cases.

This sounds like a much better approach.

I’ve been using Nova since Android 4.x and I am really did not want to switch, but it sounds like I have no other option now.

It’s going to be a pain; multiple family members use Nova on their smartphones/tablets and they are used to the interface.

Can Lawnchair be customized to replicate Nova?

You’re asking for trouble if you allow LLMs to directly access your system. I am no expert, but it seems like something that cannot be addressed with using currently popular approaches.

I don’t think they’ll bother, they get oil from the russians at a massive discount relative to world markets.

I wonder if the prediction that China will hit peak oil in 2027 will come true. This will have a massive impact on oil markets.

LibreTorrent worked fine for me when I used it for a few months (I generally use a home SBC and desktop).

I stand corrected. :)

I live in Excel and PowerPoint, for games messing around with mods/config is fine, for work I cannot deal with random edge cases. PowerBI is Microsoft’s visualization platform, I am actually not a big fan of it (for the area where I work, I could see it being fine in other cases), but this is not something that’s going to change quickly.

There is indeed a version of Teams for Linux. I really need to get a new laptop and try dual boot, I am behind the times on desktop.

I’d also recommend using a laptop with two SSDs if possible, one for linux and one for windows, to alleviate some of the headaches in dual booting.

Good to know, I only buy 17" inch laptops (thinking of going 18", but the selection is a lot worse), so I might even be able to get one with dual SSDs.

I am planning to do some experiments once I get a new laptop (which I will dual boot). I think gaming support has increased massively since I last tried it 5+ years ago (my usage of linux is via DIY SBC home server).

Office/PowerBI/Teams and some other business applications (where the web version does not cut it) is the real dealbreaker.

That being said, I am not moving to Windows11, so I have three year to prepare to move to Linux (and I suspect Win10 will be supported even after that).

It’s funny how American oligarchs wax theatrical about “da AI revolution” and yet they can’t even solve basic issues in an application store or follow their own publishing guidelines (Twitter/Grok CSAM features).

Bunch of liars and criminals.

I need Office/PowerBi/Teams to work without issue. The web versions do not cut it for my use cases.

Some older games that I still play regularly (Simcity 4 with heavy modding) also have problems when running Wine.

That being said, I will probably try dual booting when I get a new laptop, I am done with US platforms (this covers Android too).
