That is some fantastic sleuthing, well done.

You should try your hand at writing short stories.

Why wouldn’t agents in video games be AI, though? Things like are pathfinding, search, and behaviour trees are commonly used for agents in games, and in computer science these are widely considered to be artificial intelligence techniques. It’s unlikely that you would find a CS textbook calling the Fast Fourier Transform AI though, or things like Bresenham’s Line Drawing algorithm.

Could it be the new taskbar? It’s the worst part of W11, I don’t understand why they had to replace the old one.

De-googling inherently causes functionality loss on Android because Google provides a lot of basic services via things like the Google Services Framework. It might be best for you to buy something cheap (secondhand Pixel?), install LineageOS, and then see how you like that before committing to something costly like an Xperia, especially since you’re coming from iOS.

Premium phones make little sense, based on what I’ve seen everyone puts them in cases anyway. “Premium materials” are slippery and “premium thinness” results in insufficient battery capacity so accessories like phone rings get put on them, and people carry around external battery packs.

Why not just make a grippy, practical phone that I can use as a tool, with removable batteries, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and expandable memory?

It really does not. I use an external device connected via Bluetooth to achieve this on GrapheneOS, and others use home automation.

Edit: that thread isn’t what I’m referring to. There was a larger one, perhaps on their github, with a link to a blogpost about why charge limiting “isn’t necessary” being cited as the justification for why the rom doesn’t have the feature. Either way, it’s frustrating to read and best ignored.

It’s likely because the developers are highly opinionated, and this is true even for topics they don’t know very much about. See the entire discussion about implementing battery charge limiting in GrapheneOS. This makes for a lot of friction for people who would like to see more focus on usability in GrapheneOS as opposed to it being purely focused on security.

I stopped reading threads on their forums because the developers are so abrasive even though I still use the rom, because I don’t mind the loss of usability compared to other roms. I can completely understand why there is a lot of negative sentiment around it though.

Sony’s always kind of been uncool like this. Before, all PSN games weren’t available on PC, so it didn’t affect regions that couldn’t register for PSN.

Lemmy in general hates Windows.

“Ah, an appreciation post for the local transfer feature,” I thought, as I continued reading to the last part of the sentence.

Where I live, I consider nothing I do on my phone private at all, and I have to act accordingly. I would be in breach of Chinese law were I to do the same in China.

The reason regulation is required for this is because private companies, being purely proft-driven, won’t. It’s a state matter.

Why would they publish this information?

Keep your horrible tipping culture to yourself, please.

You should’ve RMAed. Maybe you still can?

Does this mean I can have a 5G dog?
