I am generally opposed to the integration of generative AI in consumer hardware, since it doesn’t have much practical utility at this point.

However, the features described in this article mostly have to do with extracting information from images. This is actually quite useful! For example, macOS allows users to select text and automatically mask objects from images. It’s a feature I use heavily and wish other operating systems had good support for.

It depends on what you’re studying. Some majors like accounting might require you to use Excel, for example. On the other hand, when I was getting my BS+MS in computer engineering, running Linux was actually advantageous

In a world where unfettered Internet access has completely eroded our ability to form connections with others, the solution to loneliness couldn’t possibly be anything but more screen time 🤦🏽‍♂️

Timshift is to Linux what Time Machine is to Macs. It’s a snapshot tool that lets you roll back a certain file or your entire filesystem to an earlier state

You may need to add additional pipeline stages or FSM states to your design, if you can tolerate it

These are great! I do drink alcohol but I much prefer to get stoned, and they’re usually priced the same as a canned seltzer at the bars. Except I’m never sure how you’re supposed to drink them, and I always chug haha

ElementaryOS does it this way

It works for images as well. Another useful macOS feature I use every day is the OCR built into the system apps, including QuickLook

Biiiiiig shoutout to the Epson Ecotank. Tank-based printers are the only acceptable consumer printers

I’ve never heard of a “repair cafe” before. Would love to visit one of those!

Human innovation scales up quite well. Some people were lucky enough to have a say on the design of this systems that changed the world. It’s unfortunate that they let greed erode their humanity.

Yeah. Maybe, in this fantasy world, you can port your address to different branches the same way you might transfer your phone number between carriers. My phone number area code reflects where I lived when I got my first phone. It does not correspond with where I currently live. The same could be true of email addresses in this scenario.

I sometimes like to imagine a future where your local library provides email addresses to card holders

I use Arctic on iOS, and the web interface on desktop

That’s what I get for being a hater 🤣

AGI apparently doesn’t mean anything anymore

The Pebble was my first and all-time favorite wearable. That said, I’m a bit reluctant to purchase a new one, since I recall the build being somewhat low quality. I had several units whose screens began to fail. Might still have to though… Nothing has filled the gap they left

That’s a bomb headline 😂

Have our attention spans deteriorated so much that something like this is actually profitable???

Love this! I’m always excited to see tools that use plain text formats
