Realme GT 7 Pro

I’ve been quite happy with it, the package price is great while the software is much less neutered than the Xiaomis I’ve used before. Fast processor, gargantuan battery and the fast charging up to 120W without heating up the phone much is insane.

It’s the lesser evil in this case.

Sure. On the other hand, one implementation seems like it would be fairly useless.

Yeah, functionality between these varies, I know some of them can tell you what capabilities the cable’s chip spits out.

An example I randomly picked:

These days a ~10€ gadget can tell you about the electricity going through a USB connection and what the cable is capable of. I don’t like the idea of basically requiring this to get that knowledge, but considering the limited space on the USB-C plugs I’m not sure anything is likely to improve about their labeling.

You’re probably not the only one out there. Maybe someone else would see it differently and pound your head in for less. That frees up the sandwich and anything else in your possession.

So what’s the allowance for people’s homes in your world? Two rooms and one more for each kid?

Housing should be more controlled, but "need’ will always be a fuzzy term if you still want to allow individuals to have different levels of wealth. Nobody needs a huge home, either. Two or three rooms, actually…maybe a little more with kids.

Going by your comments, I think you need to know a few basics before you get into people’s suggestions for actual services. Start with this: more or less, “the cloud” is just someone else’s computer. It’s bigger, the connection is faster, etc., but the services you use most likely run on a Linux computer much like the one you already have.

For experimenting with the topic, it would be good to have another computer that you can mess around with and not worry about having a usable machine. If you can cobble together a desktop from old parts it will be enough to start the learning process.

CAD on Linux sucks. Most is made as Windows only, and many people have tried running it through Wine (Bottles) or other janky methods. Don’t even try it.

How is gaming not a problem any more, but CAD is? Shouldn’t the same tools work to enable both?

Telemetry is not malware, as much as you may despise both of them. Words mean things.

Would you think that makes sense if you were designing this feature?

Solar produces DC, presumably the even higher voltage is preferable to the conversion losses.

I think my last one was about thirty years ago. Or close.

First implies that there are more. It used to be a common joke to ignore the sequels because they suck.

What do you mean, the first?

But there’s still a good and a bad way to make those movies. I usually find RT a good indicator if a movie I’m interested in will be worth watching. Especially looking at both scores. The critic score is a good indicator if the movie is competently made, the user score shows if people felt entertained. If it’s 50% critics and 80% user it’s one of those that won’t get Oscars but should be fun to watch once. If it’s 70% critic and 40% user it’s that the director tried something unconventional and it didn’t click with people. Etc.

Too much to ask that an Apple AI knows the basic features of the Apple device it’s running on?

Weird hill to die on, but you do you.

OP has one without the switch, so it shouldn’t be the issue. Only happens because a trillion dollar company cannot account for the differences in their handful of devices.
