What should we call it then, when that comes? How about “Real Artificial Intelligence”. I think R.A.I. sounds like a cool name.

user224 , 10 months ago to memes in Why must we be done this way?

Well, you can quickly search up some information. I don’t remember what it was, but I remember that once in middle school teacher said something I wasn’t quite sure about, but also I wouldn’t ask if I wasn’t more sure. So I looked it up, seeing that I was right, I asked if it rather wasn’t meant to be that other thing, he checked too and indeed he was wrong.

Also, my mind often wanders off. And it may happen that I suddenly can’t remember something. Could just be some word I could look up on my phone in less than a minute. Option B: Keep thinking about it till the rest of the class. I can’t stop thinking about that until I either remember or find it.

Next, spine. I am currently in high school. Phones are allowed here. Any time. So, I utilized my scanner and digitized one 500 or so page book I couldn’t find on the internet, and then used it as PDF instead of a physical book. It is less likely that I would forget my phone. I wish schools would have options for e-ink tablets instead of having to carry many heavy physical books. That used to be problem mostly in elementary school and middle school. Same goes for note taking.

Obviously, the last example can be easily solved by modernization.

Fast talking teachers. I can’t write that fast. I mean, I can, but then I can’t decipher my handwriting, which is already hard anyway. Voice recorder is a quick solution. Obviously, it is easier to look through notes than audio, but IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE A REPLACEMENT FOR NOTES, just a help.

But do take that with a pinch of salt. Especially in elementary school, I used to be one of those weird kids who greatly preferred being liked by the teacher over having friends. So even though I had a phone at the time, I never used it during classes because teachers disliked it.

But at least during breaks it should be allowed. Otherwise kids will find much more dangerous ways to entertain themselves.

And I’ve also seen that they just had to put them down because that’s a requirement when they cannot prove if the animals might be suffering, which is hard to do with brain implants.

Same kind of source.

1. I was taking it to school. I didn’t really have to worry much about this laptop. I got it for free, it wasn’t worth too much, and it was an indestructible brick.
2. Storage size. I needed more storage in my main laptop while 128GB was enough for this one.
3. Reliability. This was SSD from AliExpress (XrayDisk). Not reliable enough for a main machine. And indeed, 2 years later and it has corrupted sectors.
4. Ease of replacement. This old laptop only required unscrewing 1 screw to replace the HDD. Originally it would be 4, but they were missing along with HDD caddy. Meanwhile checking video on how to open my main laptop… I’d probably tear some wires, break the plastic and also destroy the rubber feet which are somehow quite expensive.

Can confirm. I had a 2007 laptop (Compal FL90) with far worse specs. Core 2 Duo T7100 (I upgraded it to T7500, small difference), Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT, 4GB DDR2 RAM (previously 3GB). Then I replaced the original 80GB Fujitsu HDD made in September 2006 for a cheap SSD. Damn. I started using that laptop most of the time. It felt way faster than my main laptop (with SMR HDD).

I got extra 2 years out of it before it died. I really miss that laptop.

Edit: I ran Linux Mint Cinnamon and Windows 11 on it. Yes, 11.

I see you tried to make strike through text. You’re missing one more pair of the… damn, can’t remember what it’s called. The home symbol.

strikethrough ~~strikethrough~~

user224 , 10 months ago to memes in Google DRM when?

That’s weird. What kind of router doesn’t have either web interface or ssh/telnet for configuration…^?^

user224 , 10 months ago to asklemmy in My name is Ganesh and I am a leacher :( What do you good folk think of leechers?

I tried seeding with my data. Typically I get around 1Mbps during the day. Also being behind CG-NAT doesn’t help it (can’t open ports). So far I only managed to get one torrent above 1.0 ratio, but it took quite a while.

So my guess is that even if you tried, you possibly wouldn’t be that successful anyway. Also many popular torrents already have fast seedboxes competing, so your slow unconnectable network won’t see much demand anyway.

user224 , 10 months ago to asklemmy in Why can't I post any photos anymore?

Yes, I believe those images are removable easily. I am pretty sure I’ve read somewhere about purging such orphaned images, but I am not sure where that was.

user224 , 10 months ago to technology in How to make an MP3 player work in 2023?

Maybe not really the cheapest. I’ve got that for fun and it sounds awful. There’s a lot of static noise. But hey, for 60¢ with free shipping…

user224 , 10 months ago to technology in How to make an MP3 player work in 2023?

Oh, hell. Opus is totally awesome.

user224 , 10 months ago to technology in How to make an MP3 player work in 2023?

On my phone music takes up 14.95GB for 1,132 songs which on average is around 13.5MB per song. Great majority of it is 320K MP3s, but it is all over the place. The worst one is 32K AAC, and the best one is 24-bit 96kHz FLAC.

user224 , 10 months ago to asklemmy in What's your favourite niche website?

I don’t know if it fits, but congrats, you’ve just reached the end of the internet. There’s nothing more to see.

user224 , 10 months ago to asklemmy in [POLL] Do you use/require a headphone jack on your phone?

Nope. Just what comes integrated. I don’t have extra money for that stuff. I don’t even have a desktop, and I am not sure if there are any good USB sound cards.
