    I know. But it is so much work to switch and I plan to replace my laptop some time in (hopefully near) future. Since I don’t have space on my disk, I would have to first determine, what files to keep, transfer them, find a OS that works with my laptop (I tried to dualboot when I got it, but there were issues with touchscreen, stylus, nvidia GPU, etc.), setup the system … It’s just too much for me right now.











  • I have to disagree. The only reason computer expanded your mind is because you were curious about it. And that is still true even with AI. Just for example, people doesn’t have to learn or solve derivations or complex equations, Wolfram Alpha can do that for them. Also, learning grammar isn’t that important with spell-checkers. Or instead of learning foreign languages you can just use automatic translators. Just like computers or internet, AI makes it easier for people, who doesn’t want to learn. But it also makes learning easier. Instead of going through blog posts, you have the information summarized in one place (although maybe incorrect). And you can even ask AI questions to better understand or debate the topic, instantly and without being ridiculed by other people for stupid questions.

    And to just annoy some people, I am programmer, but I like much more the theory then coding. So for example I refuse to remember the whole numpy library. But with AI, I do not have to, it just recommends me the right weird fuction that does the same as my own ugly code. Of course I check the code and understand every line so I can do it myself next time.




  • I honestly don’t know, what to think about this. Maduro is a dictator who had driven third of population out. So I have no sympathy for him. But it is clear that Trump administration doesn’t give a hoot about the people, Trump is even good friend with El Salvador’s dictator. Also, US was many times before successful with overthrowing regimes, but it usually ended in something worse. But in the end, US is the strongest country, so they can do whatever they want. I’m glad I live in a country that is considered an ally and has no oil.



  • I wouldn’t be so dramatic. Transferring an eSIM is only a few clicks, there is no need for searching the little thingie to open SIM compartment, no searching for the right hole to stick it into, no fear of losing the tiny SIM card during the process. I would say the transfer process is pretty hard, mainly for older people or people with bigger fingers. On the other hand, you still need the operator and his servers and proprietary code for the SIM to be useful (unless you are building your own network).
