My friends can't ride horses as well as they used to, they've been using cars to get around too much.

Sure horses are more efficient, but cars are faster and more convenient, and allow you to get a lot more done.

Also cars will get better in our lifetime, horses are horses.

Cool, I also use AI as a tool.

Apple's tablets are great, but I think we're just pretty close to the limit for these entertainment devices.

I have a now 7(!) year old Tab S5e that I use to consume media, and it's 5.5mm thick, with 10 hours of battery, a 1600x2560 super AMOLED, and quad firing speakers.

Nothing on the market makes me feel I need an upgrade over what was a $400 mid range tablet, because I have an incredible media experience on all my streaming apps.

They're definitely more popular right now, but they've been a winner since M1.

Great performance, quiet, efficient.

It would be tough to get a windows machine at that price that gets anywhere close on performance, especially if you consider the cost of electricity.

Great parent/grandparent machines, home servers.

There's very good steam integration, a controller first UI, it's very performant, sleep works better, fantastic performance monitoring and settings.

I love it, but there's probably not a whole bunch of reason to run it on things in other form factors.

Agree with everything here.

Anecdote:

I purchased an EV this year, my highest priority was range per dollar, and the vehicle I selected happened to be new because of current market conditions. (Equinox EV for under 25k otd after incentives)

I agree, claude is an impressive agent but it seems like it's impatient and trying to make its own thing, tries to make its own tests when I already have them, etc. Maybe better for a new project.

GPT 5 (at least with cline) reads whatever you give it, then laser targets the required changes.

With High, as long as I actually provided enough relevant context it usually one shots the solution and sometimes even finds things I left out.

The only downside for me is it's extremely slow, but I still use it on anything nuanced.

Roller coaster tycoon is good.

The business software I have to work with from the 80s is a straight up nightmare. And I'd say most old software is in this camp.

I just switched to the iPhone with the new cycle, explicitly because of this news.

Sideloading was the killer feature for me as well.

There's ydotool, but as far as I tested with it, the only movements that work are relative movements. You can't tell it to a click a specific x/y because it will fumble badly (Nobara / Fedora 38 )
