Imagine torrenting a videogame trailer

I’m not sure if you made a mistake, but you’re comparing lifetime sales to pre-orders. I didn’t even know people preorder phones besides iphone.

That being said, after using one foldable for 2.5years now, I don’t think I will ever go back to non-foldable.

The law is kinda weak. You really only need to slightly modify it for it to be copyrightable. No one really pushes full ChatGPT outputs as production code, and so it’s safe to assume code can almost always be copyrighted, as long as you did something yourself

To be fair, it has been quite clear that the LLMs will move beyond language ever since we figured out how to train tools. LLM is essentially a method of machine learning and execution, but it’s not limited to language. The output can be commands uninterpretable by human eyes.

EDIT: Interestingly enough, only today I learned LLMs can communicate more efficiently between themselves; https://youtu.be/EtNagNezo8w?is=cI0osETPI5FbQ08s

Im not sure how that cancels out what they said. One of their first models said “I’m ChatGPT” when asked who are you and it was rumored they used OpenAI model outputs for training.

Right, but why are you ready to live green when 8 out of 10 people would take the cheaper oil that you didn’t buy? Just keep doing whatever you like, we don’t matter on the grand scheme of things.

You’re confused.

The money comes from you. I welcome you to no longer use a car and walk to the job. Poof, suddenly their profit falls. Multiply that by a society, and suddenly much of these firms can no longer exist.

The question has always been about how much humans are willing to sacrifice to save the earth, and the answer has pretty much always been “best I can do is blame a placeholder (some CEO/company, doesn’t matter which one, because it’s just demand from society and there will always be new companies as long as there is demand from you and me) and assume it’s 100% their fault”

Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t really an individual problem, it’s how society/humans work. We’d vote for someone who speaks against oil, but hang them as soon as the oil price goes above 5$

Whenever I see posts like this, I really don’t understand if people really think they produce oil/gas/fuel/food packaging, etc. for themselves.

If someone offers a money for a product, there will be someone else willing to sell it to you. You are the consumer.

Think of it like this - a electricity company generates electricity, as much as it’s needed for current demand. I’m the final consumer, the demander, the reason infrastructure exists. And I shall be happy burning my RTX 5080 while looking into ACs to cool the room from that PC at the same time, hitting 2kW usage just so I can do nothing and game, because who cares. I tried living green, but when you see MFs producing more footprint in their shitty trucks in a day than you do in a month using Ebike, and people still decide to blame some placeholder instead of our own society and way of living, then it’s quite clear nothing will change and it’s a lost cause.

I have the answer: https://www.nber.org/papers/w35310

Microsoft is kind of forcing me to

AI. It was AI design, they tried to build it and it worked.

IP bans don’t work

While Apple computers generally will have better support, they will be very slow due to unified memory itself. I’m not sure if this is actually the future.

So what does this mean? Do we have to use China-based chat apps to avoid domestic spying? I assume US companies (including Whatsapp) will bend to the ruling

I know, but each time you go to a foldable subreddit, you can almost certainly find people showing their broken screens. The numbers are just for folding in perfect conditions. It is the weak part, still. No hard glass cover, hardly water resistant, weak dust resistance, etc. I accidentally once folded my screen with a key inside (as I was folding at the same time as sliding into the pocket that had a key in it) and only noticed few minutes later. Survived, but that would not be a worry at all with non-foldable.

Where credit is due, I think batteries have improved. I’ve noticed that the battery health no longer starts dropping fast after a year and a half (which was like a standard for me). When I got my phone, the battery health was already at 98%. I don’t know why and I didn’t really care as I got thru the days without needing to charge extra. After 2.5 years, the health is at 95% and I’m still not seeing noticeable degradation. Then again, I use battery health management system (smart charging and 80% charge whenever I didn’t need to last longer) which wasn’t a thing on older phones, maybe that’s the reason

Foldable fatigue. I forgot the technical term. Every foldable is tested for how many times it can fold before fatigue starts setting in, resulting in micro cracks/tears and eventually broken screen. I have no clue about flip, but I think the latest fold was rated at 500k folds and mine is rated at 1m folds, but it still sounds like the weak part to me.

I only knew of one person and hers was a goner in half a year, but she somehow managed to switch phones under warranty (didn’t know you can do that) instead of repairing. That being said, I have OnePlus Open (foldable phone), but it’s not the main screen that’s constantly gets bent which is the sus part to me. I open it at best 3-4 times a day when I need the large screen, not every time I need to use it. Mine is 2.5 years old, going strong. Some months ago I was in a phone shop waiting in line to buy a HDMI adapter for it and there was this lady arguing with the clerk about why can’t she submit her flip for warranty if it’s not her fault. 3 years actually blows my mind
