Isn’t it all unicode at the end of the day, so it supports anything unicode supports? Or am I off base?

I later did ask it to just be helpful, specifically requesting it give me some possible words that fit for the 5 letter possibility for #1. It repeated “floor it” lol.

🤔

Not great, honestly.

Also never ask it to solve a picture of a crossword.

While I almost completely agree with you, never underestimate the power of using the right tool for the right job. HDMI is actually far more resilient to signal corruption in my experience than display port since it implements TMDS and the cables are more commonly well shielded since they expect them to be used in device dense environments, which isn’t really applicable to anyone familiar with technology (don’t group up your cables next to something with significant RF noise/leaks, duh.) but does matter for the end user use case these see. The fees hdmi charge are a scam though fr and we could ask better from the industry.

Same. Lol

The antitrust machine hasn’t had its scheduled maintenance for a few generations. It’s gonna take a little while to spin up.

It’s the same reason many unenforced laws exist. It’s an entrance point. As the saying goes, they didn’t get capone on his gang activity.

They don’t brick shit, don’t lie. It not booting until you swap the part back to a verified part isn’t even remotely close to a full bricking.

Why do we live in this hell? Fuckin end users man, let me roll Arch.

Sync: No it does not. Do not lie. They don’t support it, it will deliver the message to multiple endpoints, but that is not sync.

System support: The clients for desktop for signal are feature lacking trash. I want all platforms to be first class citizens and it’s VERY clear they are not.

Hoops: Bullshit bro. Bullshit. You might glance over all the steps but that doesn’t mean they’re not there.

Chat history: If I can say at all that it loses my fuckin chats, that’s a shit fucking chat application. I have plenty more trash to talk if ya need it though because that app is hot fucking garbage.

Unreliability: If you spent even a fraction of a minute googling it, you’d see that a lack of notification delivery and other bugs are extremely common. I’ve experienced them. It’s great you’ve had a happy go lucky time, but your experience isn’t the end all be all.

Lack of account based sign up: Literally a massive issue and you’re just dismissing it because it doesn’t affect you. Goodluck getting anyone to hop on board your software preference train with that kind of attitude.

Sync, system support, hoops to jump through, potential loss of chat history, unreliability, lack of account based sign up (until recently?). So many reasons to not recommend it for people. To clarify though, SMS and iMessage are both so terrible I don’t consider them “options”. They’re defaults for people who have no interest in security or interoperability, which are both major important parts of a chat system imo.

Signal is a terrible recommendation for any basic chat user. The security is solid, but you give up sooooooo much to get there. The desktop apps are garbage as well, they don’t even sync chat history.

Signal does not sync chats across devices or store chat history. Telegram has that going for it. 🤷‍♂️

I will literally never use signal until they change it so data is archivable in some form and syncable across devices. I won’t recommend people use it. I don’t care how secure it is. Security is important, but usability is where telegram has signal beat by miles. I’m not hiding nation state secrets. I’m horny posting and chatting with other weirdos that like to be animals on the internet.

Morals and principles are all good and dandy until you’re staring down daddy Google (who can take millions in losses without blinking an eye) offering you a choice between a large check or competition with a business entity that doesn’t need to be profitable . There’s not a lot of people in the world who could stand up to that, even fewer so that would want to when the alternative is a worry free life sitting on whatever millions Google paid you while sipping Mai Tais on your private island.

Printed circuit board.

Although we don’t see it, all of these developments do actually eventually make their way into battery tech. The batteries of today are not the batteries of 2014.
