Its like the video showing firefighters struggling a lot to break the window of the Tesla pickup. That’s not a praiseworthy thing. You want the windows to break easily enough you can get out in an emergency, or someone can break in to get you out.
It’s also just a generally bad idea to be too dependent on a single system. If GPS reception fails for one reason or another, it would be good idea to have a backup.
Dot matrix is also an option, if they neither want to bother with toner, nor inkjet.
Any particular reason for going thermal? Personally, I’d recomnend against them, since thermal paper is coated with BPA, and that can come off and might have health effects if ingested.
The original rationale for not having editing, at least on Reddit and Twitter, was concerns that someone could get a viral post, and then edit it to spam.
That’s not an impossible thing with Lemmy, though we’re not big enough for it to be worth spamming to, for the most part.
Not quite that, but more the ${variable##.*} sort of thing.
Bash substitution is regex-level wizardry.
Neither a phone nor website would work if your phone battery is flat. The meter should at least have a way for someone to park their car if they don’t have a functioning phone, or internet access, even before the hellscape of needing a separate app for everything.
Probably downloaded it from ChatGPT, that’s why it’s in the downloads folder.
And it’s probably not seen as urgent enough an issue to need replacing the whole system for.
Vision was also a robot with human-type consciousness and intelligence. We can, at least, nudge that into “funny-looking human” through suspension of disbelief.
Our level of robots is nowhere near that.
Markdown is also an open format. You aren’t forced to use Obsidian for everything, and there are already numerous programs that are capable of displaying the formatted end-file, because it’s standard markdown.
It’s not some proprietary thing that only Obsidian uses.
Linux also always allowed you to install applications directly. Everyone just uses package management software at this point because it’s all well managed and easier to keep things updated, but you can still install things manually with make.
You only need make if you’re compiling. Installating precompiled software is somewhat easier, since it’s basically just copying to /bin. If you know where that is, then it’s simple.
Not only that, but they actively hindered any external tools. If you’re Blind and Reddit’s accessibility isn’t good enough? Tough luck.
Whereas back in the day, someone might have built a more accessible app, if Reddit hadn’t had one.
The smaller models aren’t actually R1, but Qwen/Llama tuned on R1.
Word filter?
Maybe they got poached elsewhere? There was Mistral, but it got bought out by Google.
Their own older model, no less.
It would be weirder/more of note if their new model was worse.
Unfortunately nothing new on that front. We’ve had geofencing for years.
Everyone knows that the best way to address DDOS is to unplug random servers until things either stop working, or start working again.
