EVGA doesnt exist anymore sadly. Wish they would come back and make an AMD card.

I honestly feel like the goal with this delayed release and app signing control is to make custom roms less attractive and more vulnerable to law enforcement zero days.

Its not the best test imo. He only did 500 charge cycles which is more like 1.5 years worth of charge cycles. But even having data for 2 years isnt very useful. If you replace your phone after 2 years then there is no need to care about battery life at all. This whole thing of preserving battery life is something for people that want to use a phone for 5+ years without needing a new battery.

In the first place, people have already done professional studies to analyze all kinds of lithium battery capacity degradation over many cycles and thats where the 30-80% number comes from. The whole introduction to his video is “there is a saying”, so all he had to do was actually look at the research where that “saying” came from. Then he could have still run his little experiment in an attempt to replicate parts of the study. Instead he basically told the viewers “if you throw away your phone after 2 years, then you dont need to care about charging limits” which is very useless information.

After 1500 cycles the difference between the 5-100% and 30-80% system would be so drastic that you wouldnt be able to really use the first one, while the other one would still work decently well.

Gnome is so bad it hurts. I was reading a blog post by factorios linux dev earlier.

Once Wayland support was implemented, I received a bug report that the window was missing a titlebar and close buttons (called “window decorations”) when running on GNOME. Most desktop environments will allow windows to supply their own decorations if they wish but will provide a default implementation on the server side as an alternative. GNOME, in their infinite wisdom, have decided that all clients must provide their own decorations, and if a client does not, they will simply be missing. I disagree with this decision; Factorio does not need to provide decorations on any other platform, nay, on any other desktop environment, but GNOME can (ab)use its popularity to force programs to conform to its idiosyncrasies or be left behind

Thats just 14h tho, not too bad.

Microsoft has and will continue to do Trumps bidding when it comes to the ICC, so this is a very good but also very late decision.

I find the “AI” part undescriptive too. Its mostly just a fronted for a bunch of LLM APIs right? If you want to target idiots then use “AI” in the name, if you want to target IT people use “LLM”.

AI/LLM Center? Multi AI/LLM?

And no word about releasing the server code :(

The name sounds like an AI version of PornHub to me.

No, its mostly because 99% of people dont build their own computers and because 99% of prebuilts/laptops come with Windows preinstalled. Thats literally the only reason. If all devices came with Linux preinstalled, most people would be too lazy to switch and buy a windows license. This would change the market share of Linux which would immediately cause companies to prioritize making their software run on linux. Its really just corporate inertia.

Hello, my name is Jack Wallen, and I’m a glutton for punishment.

Bro really wants us to know hes been a bad boy 😭

They have a page about that: https://watchy.sqfmi.com/docs/battery-life

With only time keeping, Watchy should have a battery life of 5-7 days, while with fetching data over WiFi, it should last between 2-3 days. These numbers can be extended through further optimizations (e.g. sleep during off hours, waking up only on motion/tilt, etc.).

By default it wakes up the CPU and updates the display every 60 seconds, but you could totally change this to make it only update on demand (the most efficient would be by button press) which should extend the battery life waaay beyond 7 days.

I havent used it yet, so cant really say much, but ive been looking at watchy. https://watchy.sqfmi.com/

ESP32 based with a epaper display

That seems like something that wouldnt hold up in court if tested. If you make money with it, thats a different issue (Wettbewerbsverbot), but if you publish free and open source, then this wouldnt fall under that to my understanding.

But only if you used information that isnt publicly available yes? If i learn how to use KiCad at work and then use KiCad in private, then my employer doesnt get IP rights for the result.

“Hobby project” ? But on company time? Then its not a hobby project…

Anything you create outside of work hours is yours to publish under any license you want as long as it doesnt include any code that was produced at work.

Yeah and even those are lacking very essential functionality. Its a nice project but its far from being a viable alternative for daily use.

respect AI

No thank you. Even if its FOSS it wastes tons of resources.

Its been more than 24h and the site is still down. It only loads the main page but all links are dead.

Thierry Carrez commented, “Did you notice what I didn’t talk about in my keynote? I made no mention of AI.”

…

The world needs sovereign, high-performance and sustainable infrastructure," continued Carrez, "that remains interoperable and secure, while collaborating tightly with AI, containers and trusted execution environments.

He was so close to greatness :(
