Dude, I love Apple hardware for phones but their locked in ecosystem and to an extent the OS is so fucking annoying.

Honestly I use discord or email for that >.>

Windows/iPhone doesn’t seem to have a great solution as far as I’ve checked.

<.< I’m assuming this is a joke, but feel the need to point out to the ones who don’t realize… LLMs aren’t trained on audio recordings.

… You realize this has been innovated because someone cares, right?

Like this is such a silly argument. “Why would we make cars not use steam? If people cared about it we would have already innovated!”

I mean, you can tell Windows to not wake with a specific device, which is what most would expect.

I doubt it. There are plenty of tools that already do this if that was what they wanted, they’d just model it after those. Storing it locally isn’t how such tools usually work, they get shipped off to a remote server for ingestion.

1. I agree with.

2. Is terrible as there are many times you want to be able to use a machine with its lid closed. Layering more and more “id10t” prevention into a system isn’t great, and windows is already bitched about for the levels it has now.

“Most downloaded” just means “biggest phone farm”.

Eh? Nothing significant has changed about the windows file system in over a decade, at least not from a user standpoint.

Most people don’t need to muck about in ProgramData, Program Files vs Program Files (x86) is pretty minimal, though admittedly you may need to check both if you’re unsure which the app you’re using is. I suppose %appdata% has changed, and one could argue it was significant, but in all honesty the concept of local vs remote should get you where you’re going, and worst case you check both.

But the base directory structure has been pretty static for a long while now.

Yeah it’s damn good for translating between languages, or things that are simple in concept but drawn out in execution.

Used it the other day to translate a complex EF method syntax statement into query syntax. It got it mostly right, did need some tweaking, but it saved me about 10 minutes of humming and hawing to make sure I did it correctly (honestly I don’t use query syntax often.)

I was a Firefox user at the time, using adblockers, and the swap was a huge improvement to my browsing experience. I can’t even remember all the ways, since this was a decade ago. But at the time, Firefox was in a lul.

Things likely swapped pretty fast, but I wasn’t aware of it at the time because I was already using Chrome.

No ads swayed me, no Google specific sites, it wasn’t side loaded with anything.

The Chrome eating ram memes came much later, after the enshitification process reached the third step. You seem to be compressing the entirety of both browsers into a single moment, and that’s not really how time works.

Their user share was pretty okay for a while, but bombed when Chrome first released because it was much more performant. Unfortunately, that stigma never quite fell off and they lost a huge opportunity to overtake the market.
