I think 4K media streaming does need a fair bit of infrastructure management.

Ohh wow, look who has appeared. Mr No reply to the original comment. Wonder what he will add to the conversation.

Like usual, it’s nothing of value.

I think you’ve misread my comment.

“Xi doesn’t get the solidarity like Luigi, because his government has a track record of punishing citizens when they show dissent” was the point of my original comment.

I believe this context is important if we’re to discuss the likability of a country’s leader based on their actions. Additionally, “acting within the defines of state ideology” would permit a national head to practically do anything since they are the ones defining the state ideology.

Thanks for admitting that nothing could ever be enough to change your mind.

I have shared some articles on China’s crackdown on dissent here. Will you will change your mind after reading them?

I have shared some links further in the thread, here you go.

My friend, you’re the one who’s actively denying the opinions of the Chinese people I know, while pushing a Harvard study on my face. And then calling me racist/chauvinistic. I am not sure how that helps your case, but I guess just spouting random nonsense is your idea of a conversation.

To help you out, I have taken some time to find some of the articles from the time I was in SG, and cases I discussed. These are the articles.

Most of the people I talked to related with these incidents, and acknowledged that while they may not the be the norm, they’re certainly not anomalies. And a lot of people dont come out because the government reacts in such dracnonian ways.

The people I talked to were not representative of all of China, it would be ridiculous to consider that. However, ignoring multiple unrelated people sharing similar stories would be an asinine thing.

If your response is going to be a an aggregate study about economic development, and ask me why would people be unhappy with that, then you need some sort of help to understand that economic freedom is not the only freedom in the world.

I never claimed to be an authority, and there’s a reason I mentioned it was my opinion.

And again, it’s not like there could be selection biases in a Harvard study. That absolutely never happens.

I base my opinion on multiple people I personally know who moved from China to SG, because they were unhappy with the kind of control government maintained over any public criticism. I won’t pretend that I remember all the instances they’ve mentioned, but I know better than to reject the claims of the countries citizen when they have some concerns. I won’t pretend that I know better than the people living in the damned country.

I wonder if it has anything to do with PRC’s punishment towards citizens who have been critical of their government. Who knows man.

There was an initial reaction from Linus on his forums where he massively doubled down on his stance that he had not done anything wrong with the review model LTT had auctioned off without permission (I can’t remember the name of the company). He had even accused GN of not following “journalistic standards” by not giving LTT a chance to put their side forward.

This was met with another video from GN, and overall criticism over the dismissive attitude Linus was displaying. That’s when they came out with a YT video, admitting their numerous faults, and Linus himself admitted that the way he responded on the forum was not acceptable.

Pretty much doubled down initially, till they realised that they’re in actual deep waters.

But that also discredits me from ever asking an LLM a question which I don’t already know the answer to. If I have to go through the links to get my info, we already have search engines for it.

The entire point of LLM with Web search was to summarise the info correctly which I have seen them fail at, continuously and hilariously.

The copilot app doesn’t seem to be any better.

Pretty much all land borders are lines drawn on map 😅

I have a calendar widget on my Samsung S22.

Tell me you have no idea about other movie industries, without telling me about it.

I mean I can take up issues with Linux as well. The driver support can be iffy at times, especially with Nvidia, gaming can be a challenge, depending on what game you’re playing.

“Not that bad” is a phrase, which acknowledges issues but still contests something to be bad beyond acceptance.

Hot take, windows isn’t that bad (privacy issues aside).

A keyboard is not just to enter text It can do a multitude of things like emojis. Good luck remembering all the mappings on a physical one, or you end up with having them eat screen space. Might not be your use case, but a vast majority of the world uses it.

Additionally, this increases the overall screen real estate. Aside for sliding keyboards (which I did add a caveat for in my original comment), a physical keyboard would be in the way for most of the usage an average person makes on the phone, like watching videos, looking at pictures.

A physical keyboard would probably weight more as well (this is just a guess, based on the idea the membrane, and additional circuitry required for a keyboard would be more than the weight of a glass panel).

A physical keyboard adds an additional point of failure on your device as well.

I’m not saying virtual keyboards are perfect. Like any other thing, there are trade offs to make. But in the form factor phones work in, a virtual keyboard makes more sense according to me. The best of both worlds would probably be a sliding keyboard, but that does add more weight to the device.
