Music went through this many years ago.

iTunes would have drm’d music files. Amazon too, I think.

Then at some point it all became sane and I could buy an MP3 and download it.

Okay then, how about doors? https://lizengland.com/blog/the-door-problem/

Maybe they are making it harder for us to get ram just to prevent us from running llms on our own hardware.

I’ve run koboldcpp on a steam deck. You have to stick to small model files, of course, like maybe 4Gb, but you can get decent speed if you do.

And Edge Gallery on Android can run models locally on a phone.

I use Obsidian as a OneNote replacement because it’s built around markdown, which is just a a text file that includes structure and formatting.

I don’t use their subscription syncing service, just sync files to my own phone and server. Obsidian is great for organizing, but I can still read all the files as text.

I found that the resilio mobile app would use up a lot of battery at night (sometimes about 10% an hour).

Syncthing was better for that, but would sometimes just stop updating on a phone. I would check and it would have not been syncing for weeks and be signed out of the web UI.

While we’re at it, is a compass needle’s North pole actually a South so that it points North? Or is the Earth’s North pole actually South so that the needle’s North pole points to it?

(I know that I could look this up, I just want to confuse people.)

It’s like the one person did it once and since then everyone has followed

How does one person form a queue?

But, yes, everyone else following is definitely how it would happen.

The one who says “cows” when she sees cows.

I’m surprised that it worked, because Maps is pretty good at identifying movement profiles. It can distinguish motorcycles from cars, and I’ve had it identify a cable car ride.

Back when location history was stored on the Google servers, a Takeout export would include probabilities for several forms of transport for each track.

I should add that I do use it for backups, it’s a great program, but I’ve only ever used it for one-way scheduled syncs.

I’ve sometimes found that it just stops syncing on one phone. And I did turn off battery management.

I need something that’s reliable.

I use resilio, but recently it used 20% battery in 6 hours overnight, when nothing needed syncing.

Is there any way for it to sync from desktop to Android immediately when a file changes on the PC?

In a similar vein to this!

Aside from the handle area, the 500 looks less than half way to 1000.

I would fill it to 500, pour that into another container, fill it to 500 again, pour the first amount back and see if it reaches 1000.

BCD is something that’s supported directly by some processor instruction sets.

D’oh!
