  • Here in Non-USA-istan (aka the rest of the world), most Chinese midrange phones hold their own for years and are not frowned upon by the local population for being “poor people phones”.

    Got my Xiaomi Redmi Note 11T near its launch date for a third of the cost of an iPhone and I don’t regret it at all. Battery life is still exceptional (a full day and change with heavy YouTube and Reddit Lemmy usage), I can pretty much play anything I throw the phone at (I can emulate anything up to Dreamcast/Naomi without a hitch, PS2/GameCube/Wii with some caveats, any handheld device up to 3DS/Vita almost flawlessly), and the camera does a decent job capturing good photos and video at up to 4K@30fps. I’m not filming a freaking documental with the device, but I can catch vacation photos with printing quality and that’s enough for me.






  • What all these trend chasing CEOs fail to grasp about ChatGPT is that the Neural Network is trained to return what looks like like a human written answer, but it is NOT, IN ANY CASE, GOING TO RETURN INFORMATION. If you ask ChatGPT to write an essay with sources, ChatGPT is going to write a somewhat coherent essay with what looks like sources, but it’s going to be a crapshot if the sources are even real, because you asked for an essay with sources, not an essay USING any given source. Anyways, I’m going to heat some popcorn and wait for the inevitable fake articles and the associated debacle.
