Where did I say they shouldn’t?

My message comes within a context.

Improvements in storage allow for longer transportation. This is but one example.

There are many other improvements, from more efficient water usage to reducing the need for other costly interventions.

Some may be possible to allow richer agriculture in poorer areas, reducing the need for distribution.

Pegasus, and probably other tools, can infect phones through ads. Google’s ads network is a weapon.

Your comment is unrelated what-so-ever to what I wrote.

Ten percent of humans suffer from hunger. This is much bigger than just Gaza.

I’m not rich, I chose to earn less money and live a lower quality apartment.

We don’t have many years to work on solutions. You may never have enough for you and yours.

Green revolution?

The newest solution I know of is using optimization algorithms to vastly reduce the cost of experiments on vegetables storage. They not only showed how to optimize storage, they also showed how to store certain types cheaply for 4 times long.

One of the issues is food distribution, and that will help there.

Oh wow, people are talking about it.

In the real world, not enough techies are willing to work on solving problems related food shortages (for example), while people are starving to death.

This protest achieved nothing so far.

If you want to actually make a difference, leave Google, go do bioinformatics (am biased here), exact agriculture or any other shit that actually solves real problem.

All I see in those rallies a bunch of people that work at Google to maximize their earnings that are mad when Google does the same.

I don’t get the comment here, they didn’t ‘express their opinion’ about Israel. They behaved like a bunch of lunatics within Google’s offices. If you want to protest Google’s actions send a signed letter of resignation stating the reason, send it to the press and form a union of techies that won’t work for companies that work with Israel recursively.

On a side note, I like how none of them mind building mass surveillance tools, pushing ads, Google-China relations, etc… But Israel’s genocide is trending, so they jump on that. What a bunch of shallow fucks.

My highly non-technical SO cursed Microsoft when they pushed that shit into her computer. She didn’t need to understand what AI means, it took space on her task bar and showed useless notifications. Making her annoyed by the space taken, disturb her focus and slow her computer.

She is stuck on Windows due to a tool she is dependent upon. Already asked me to install Linux on her computer once she have a replacement that will work on Linux.

tl;dr: non technical people are too pissed at MS.

I’m not a brain-rotted manager, I know how to buy a desk and arrange a work station.

Not sure about all of them, as I don’t want them in my life. But I found out by chance that one of them became a social worker. I saw another in an acceptance exam to an academic program, he failed, I got in.

You can easily load PDFs into kobo readers, at-least into mine. However, most PDFs will be unreadable. To reads PDFs properly on a e-reader you need a screen that is at-least as big as their render size. Meaning, that if the PDF was built for A4, your experience will be, in most cases, lacking on any screen smaller than A4.

I have no experience using such big eink and can’t comment on their quality.

Bought a math book from them, they refunded it with no questions, after I read a lot of it, because some of the equations were unreadable.

Three laptops ago it mostly worked with FOSS solutions around the driver. Nvidia mostly killed them, and intreduced their own unstable solution. As far as I care, if they won’t fix it before my hardware dies, the next laptop will have a GPU by another manufacture.

Nvidia works flawlessly most of the time on desktops. The suckyness of their drivers shows its ugly head mostly on laptops.

And it’s bad, crash your computer bad some times.

Are you talking about a laptop or a desktop? If desktop, using offload or something like that?

I agree with the sentiment, but I think cat5 is enough for at home deployment. My edge device isn’t using 1Gb now, and it won’t use 10 in ten years. Mostly because it may be cheaper to replace when needed than to deploy for future proofing.

For offices and such I agree, as the disruption of work for a few days may cost more than future proofing the net.
