And now the other shoe drops. We can see what kind of future these companies are shaping for us. Where you have to pay them a subscription fee in order to use premium hardware. While they slowly stop selling it to the public.

This is one of the things that people who use AI to vibe code don’t get. Sure your AI genned code ends up working but when you actually look at the code it’s sloppy as all fuck, with a lot of unnecessary junk in it. And if you ever have to fix it, good fucking luck finding what’s actually going on. Since you didn’t write it there’s no way for you to know exactly what it is that’s actually fucking up.

Really you end up being no better than some homebody who copy-pasted some code they found on the internet and plugged it into their shit with no idea of how any of it actually works.

This is Lemmy not reddit. Unless it’s a political thing on .ml feel free to ask and most people will be happy to answer your questions, especially if it has to do with Linux or FOSS.

And the Fediverse continues unabated. That’s the beauty of it.

If you are using a Pixel with a Tensor processor then you are using a RISC-V SOC.

SOC has a small form factor which can fit neatly in a phone sized device (this us why all phones have them) and RISC-V is a completely open source processor instruction set that can be customized to whatever function you wish to implement.

This potential dilemma just further highlights that cloud-connected devices should be enhanced by connectivity, not reliant on it.

This should be everyone’s takeaway.

The problem isn’t the company possibly going out of business, its the loss of online service nerfing the device that is the real issue.

If you’re really going to do this you need a RISC-V processor SOC. If you look around online there’s a few places where you can obtain these.

As true as this is it doesn’t alleviate the fact that the company is a rotten mess. They are rushing to embrace generative AI and firing any and all employees who aren’t on board with that. I think it’s safe to say that this company going forward is going to be putting out absolute garbage. This likely includes Subnautica 2, not because the developers are skimping or using generative AI but because the publishing company is attempting to put the cart before the horse. And in doing so they are setting things up for a tremendous failure.

I mean, bugs are bugs. It’s not like Google makes them they are there.

No but there are big bugs and small bugs and it sound like Google’s AI bug finder is flooding them with small bugs that don’t effect the security or end product so much. But some unpaid volunteer from FFMpeg has to check them all out regardless. And Google getting pissy about it doesn’t help.

I have to ask why they’re not starting a defamation lawsuit over this.

I guess i know what my next year’s phone is gonna be.

That’s the point. If your business has to create a mountain of un-recyclable trash in order to thrive, it should absolutely fail.

That’s fine by me.

This right here is the biggest barrier for me. I have so many authentication keys that I need that are on my Android devices and I have no idea how to transfer them to something else.

Yeah cause it’s not like there’s a thousand tablets out there that you can pick up that are the exact same form factor.

I’m looking for my old Nokia phone so I can throw it at you.

Oh, I’ve seen that. I’ve had assistant turned off for like 2 years now. It became a security hazard when they took away the sound indicator that it was listening.
