Quoting: spacemonkeyAbout it being immutable: I had to make it mutable to install .NET. But this is not something most people would need to do (Rider has a blog on how to install their IDE and .NET on SteamDeck). For all other stuff I had zero issues: attaching all kinds of controllers and other hardware, using Discord, Aseprite, MagicaVoxel (which has no Linux build), etc. No problems.

I didn't take a closer look on immutable systems yet, but shouldn't they have the possibility to put some additional layer on them with changes? And just the original system stays the same?

Quoting: EikeGPS by itself shouldn't need a SIM card though?

Well, true, but I'd need the maps, and the bus/train connections when not on a car/bike :)

I've got no idea about the device we're talking about (so don't listen to me!), but if you don't need information about the current traffic situation (traffic jams and the like), this could be preloaded.

Quoting: JarmerOMG I want that one with the keyboard. It even has an ETHERNET PORT!!!!!!!!!! yessssssssssss just take my money.

You know what I'd really love? If I could use something like this as my day to day phone:
https://shop.boox.com/products/palma2 [External Link]

basically the middle ground between a full fledged smart phone and a completely dumb phone. On a device like that, the battery would last me like a week because I would only ever use it for calls, texts, playing podcasts in my car, stuff like that.

And then anything else, like emails, or looking up webpages, or using apps, I could use this device! Man............... If my family weren't so tied into the apple ecosystem (shared calendars and photo albums etc) I would totally try it.

edit: DAMNATION ... they're going to launch it as a kickstarter ffs. I swore I'd never again use kickstarter for anything ever ever ever, but ............................ shit.

I've looked into the Palma 2 before, but it doesn't have a SIM Card slot, does it? I would need it to use GPS on the car/bike, otherwise I'd probably try to switch to it soon.

GPS by itself shouldn't need a SIM card though?

Quoting: EikeStill don't see it...

Some glitch with the game rating used in Germany? The game is rated but the demo is not?

Yeah, probably. I saw the game being rated and didn't expect a problem.
But then, Steam did announce that they want demos to be handled as independent entities...
Thanks!

In general, I'm fine with this age rating stuff, but such "I spy with my little eye" ("Ich sehe was, was du nicht siehst") games are annoying... :-/

Quoting: fabertaweThis is a fantastic game, I've now put in 220+ hours and having a ball (Linux native).

Please note the demo is quite a way behind the game proper, which gets constant updates as it's still in development. Also note the story line is unfinished (half way?) but personally I play the game for the survival aspect and base building and not the story :grin:

I cannot find a demo?

It's listed right on the store page, big green banner above the purchase box.

Still don't see it...

Quoting: amatai@Liam Winter start in the UK before December ? I thought everyone in the northern hemisphere was starting winter the 21th December (where winter is applicable).

Half of winter has already gone by then. Midwinter festivals (such as Christmas) are to celebrate passing the midpoint of winter, when days steadily start to become longer again.

AFAIK, there's "meteorological winter", starting with Decembre 1.st, and astrological (calendar(ical)?) winter, starting late in Decembre at winter solstice. First one makes more sense to me...

There's not many cases where I would recommend to switch from native to Proton, but this is one of them.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThere are a couple of other things about the ways neurons grow and branch and how the connections can be strengthened or weakened that are probably not comparable to basic computer hardware and also add complexity . . . you could probably simulate that behaviour in software, but that's just showing that it's behaviour that requires much more than one transistor to model.

I cannot remember transistors being compared to neurons. Modern neural networks to have such things though, being weakened and strengthened by the learning process.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyTo get something that's really qualitatively better they will need a different hypothesis.

Here you go: AI needs a childhood. And "parents". It needs to be told, maybe over years, what it is doing right and what it is doing wrong. This is done in parts already, but only by cheap click workers. Nobody wants to pay "real" AI parents.
