[@sankaranarayanan616]

The local file searching has been perfect for me for at least 5 years now... 🙄🙄 I just wish Microsoft and Google work together to make their products work in perfect synergy. And any software application by Microsoft is horrendous right now. So MS could learn a thing or two from Google about product design.This would definitely surpass what Apple can currently offer.

Every company convinces me I need an "AI" in thier product, meanwhile I am only asking for the batteries to be easily swappable in the products I am curently usign :

[@waswat]

Buy a framework laptop?

[@disky01]

@@waswat It's not just laptops, so many products have batteries that cannot be swapped. We used to have phones with batteries that could be swapped but because of some obsession with thinness and/or water resistance, which are really just legal cover for a shrewd implementation of planned obsolescence, we no longer have that ability. So many other devices could have their operational lives extended if they simply had removable batteries, but they don't, and it's just another way for the industry to force consumers to re-buy products they don't really need.

[@coinopanimator]

Or just ones that last longer than a day in real use.

[@Eoin-B]

Something I resorted to was buying a generic blue battery brick in my laptops carger voltage and using that as a really cheap laptop power bank. It's not ideal, but you don't have to buy a new laptop when the battery goes. They are so cheap you can buy a couple for the price of a internal genereric battery that will never be as good as the original one, plus no heat gun to change it.

[@ayoCC]

There should be a bigger focus on machine learning instead of just pretained language models. On a small consumer scale, I'd say you could make a little robotic arm, with a machine learning to imitate and do tasks like cooking and cleaning or whatever, now that's a product some people might pay 1000 dollars on. Machine learning to do actual research, like deepminds math algorythm or protein prediction algorythm. Alphafold could have been already a billion dollar product, they have a monopoly on the ability to design proteins basically right now

AI gear shifters have existed for a while. They're called automatic transmissions.

[@abdulkadiraminu262]

🤣🤣i thought the exact same thing

[@hilal_younus]

Shhhh

[@InventorZahran]

Enviolo already makes an automatic transmission for bicycles. It's based on a CVT (continuously variable transmission) rather than Shimano's derailer-based system, and I don't think there's even any AI involved. All it does is adjust the gear ratio so the rider can maintain an even pedaling cadence across varying speeds and gradients. We'll see how well Shimano's "AI shifter" works, but I expect most serious cyclists will reject it on principle and less-serious ones will avoid it due to high cost.

[@D.von.N]

I think I cracked the code. The primary principle of the Recall was to show you all those products once again, relevant to your search you cannot remember, and remind you what you urgently need to buy again! Ads, ads everywhere! They sneak them into your brain all possible ways LOL.

People are smart enough to be able to side load apps, but I think a good way to do it is to ask when setting up the phone, like "would you like to allow installation of apps outside of the play store / app store (you can change this later)."

[@NJ-wb1cz]

There is already a way, like how Xiaomi phones do "dangerous" permissions. Instead of simply allowing you to click like the default android, you have to wait 20 seconds on a scary screen that tells you about how dangerous it is and why. There's also a possibility to install apps in a separate space that doesn't have access to your regular files etc. There are countless ways to do app installing in a safe way, but this isn't about safety at all. It's just a way to slowly reduce the amount of "improper" apps that google doesn't like, like R*V**ced (you can't use its name on youtube)

[@asandax6]

​@@NJ-wb1cz That Xiaomi pop up is annoying. They should add a once of setting that disables that stupid pop up for users that know what they are doing.

[@NJ-wb1cz]

@@asandax6 Nah, it is supposed to be annoying. Heck, it should be more annoying and have like a 30 second cooldown, and another 30 seconds after that. What they could've done, is add safer ways of doing the same thing. Like, suggest actual alternatives to the dangerous thing you're warning people about. For example, maybe you want to make an app an accessibility admin, but then you can tie it to disabling the internet for it completely and moving it to a separate virtualized storage. So that even if it will record your screens and private data and passwords and everything, it won't be able to send it

Android already has a framework around installing apps from unknown sources. It's called 'install from this source', you need to enable installing APKs from any appstore or the browser, if you downloaded it, specifically for each source. And that is all that's needed, putting another blocker inbetween isn't going to help people see the light if they install APKs from a shady source. I was a it skeptical what epic was doing when you mentioned that title, but I find this lawsuit absolutely correct.

[@lwoklidfr]

actually auto blocker also blocks any installation from usb, and also blocks the app you have side loaded from installing updates and its not hard to disable this feature and was not even "on" by default(at least in my samsung). epic games was just tripping for some cash.

As a bAIcyclist, I don't want this! My body is not an engine; a computer cannot possibly know when I want to shift gears. E.g. sometimes I want to stay in a hard gear to build more speed, other times I want to preemptively shift into an easier gear before I reach the base of a steep hill. These are highly personal decisions, and I might make a slightly different choice each day, even on the same stretch of road. And besides, I wouldn't want to be surprised by an unexpected gear change that I didn't ask for!

[@dblakewood1907]

I think to an extent there is sufficient warning already before you could simply download and install apks, his point on there being no warning is incorrect, i agree. You have to manually turn on unknown sources before allowing installation.

Even Satya Nadella admitted they regret dropping Windows Phone. If they stuck with it, it could’ve been a big source of revenue for them. Feels like they haven’t learned from their mistakes, though. They’re doing the same thing with AR and mixed reality now.

[@peterixxx]

What was the point of making that part of the OS though? It didn't belong there. And now when they are fixing that glaring error, theyv are messing it up in the process. MS should leave it to third parties to build the software instead of hogging the stage. They've been sued and fined for this sort of this thing before... Personally, I want a dumb OS that does exactly what I tell it to do. Windows was that, many years ago. It went out of the window (pun not intended) after XP, and was hard to achieve even with XP. They went wrong around XP time and nothing they are doing convinces me that they will improve.
