It's going to be a summer of Laptops and PC reviews, and this is one of the most unique systems I'm test driving!

Who wants "thin and light" when your laptop could be mistaken for RoboCop's lunch box?

Following a bunch of techies on Mastodon be like:

I am a run-of-the-mill Android-phone-Windows-desktop-Gmail-user but now I'm in the process of transitioning from Gmail and using Duck Duck Go to research how to set up a Linux desktop.

Oh, and also now Signal-curious.

What is this place? Some kind of privacy cult LOL?

@shansterable Or other way - privacy cult chose this place because there is no surveillance here. As a paranoid I use it as only social media service :blobfoxmlem:

AI Laptop REACTIONS!

Checking out all the announcements today from Dell, HP, Microsoft, Samsung, Acer, Asus, and Lenovo! I did a live recording of my reactions.
Windows on ARM is getting REALLY exciting! Here are some things to look out for while shopping a new "AI" laptop!

@SomeGadgetGuy No worries, I understand your point. Arm is not a good idea for the future. They are and they were limited from the very beginning, even back then at the designing table. As same thing as with the x86 or x86_64 architecture is. At one point in time they will reach those borders and it will be end of story. But the completely different thing is with the RISC-V. This one is not limited in any way. I think this architecture should be developed very much. That's the future for us all.

@MartinBe
Yeah but ARM isn't really "limited" anymore. Software support has improved radically, and there is no approaching that performance per watt with RISC. See also, every phone and MacBook currently being sold.

My points before, of course we want RISC and an open architecture some day, but we also need to make it through the day with a computer today.

When I can buy a RISC machine that can accomplish the tasks I need to accomplish, I'll happily do so. There is no RISC ecosystem that approaches the robust ecosystem of ARM. Along the way, I can't keep recommending to consumers "just keep waiting for a machine that won't exist for YEARS now, until massive corporations decide to make one". That's not how a consumer tech cycle works.

So as a tech reviewer, I'm in a position where I need to make recommendations for the needs people have now, while also educating on the kind of purchasing that might help enable the resources we need in the future.

@42aross Yes. Policy changes after the AI training has happened, probably. <sighs>

Professor Geoffrey Hinton, the “godfather of AI,” is “very worried about AI taking lots of mundane jobs.” That’s why he has advised U.K. government officials that universal basic income would be a very good idea. BBC News talks to Hinton about who would benefit most from AI, who would suffer from it, and the emerging human-extinction threats facing humans. https://flip.it/QBBzZB

Exciting times in the world as we roll out our new transmitter design, with much longer battery life and smarter , thanks to the brilliant DOC Electronics Team. Here’s site lead Petrus with 5 year old Ako. 📸 Dani Whitaker

It’s incredible that Ako is still alive. She hatched with an open fontanelle (the skull didn’t completely fuse) which required world-first surgery by the vets at Wildbase in NZ. Read more here: https://www.massey.ac.nz/about/news/k%C4%81k%C4%81p%C5%8D-brain-surgery-a-world-first/
