What is that?

Do you mean scams that start on tinder? Pig butchering?

This looks interesting, but I wish the author have included some pictures from the inside.

There are some decent handheld emulators based on an old Rockchip design. If someone can make a more powerful model in this format I would happily buy 3

They have more pictures in the Images directory of the repo https://github.com/juckettd/RaspberryPiCM4Handheld7Inch/tree...

Although the images are a bit old, so not sure how up to date they are with the Version 1.0 actual schematics. But I think it should give a good idea of the thing anyway.

And then there is the Version 2.0 which I’m not sure if is complete or still work in progress by the author.

The issue with audible is that authors have to be there or they don't exist. Even if the pay is crap, you "have to" be on audible.

I don't see how any competitors could break their dominance as long as the authors give in this easily.

I listen to audiobooks quite a lof and some yeargs ago I moved to a different service (storytel, its a European thing). If they don't have a book, well I get it from another source that is definitely not owned by Bezos.

Maybe you can share those other sources, since quick search in storytel did not give most of the stuff I'm currently reading/listening at the moment?

I have been thinking about not selling my soul to Amazon, but the amount of books (and formats) is just so convincing. I usually read & listen at the same time, depending on time of day and being able to get everything from one place is just something that makes one problem less in crazy days, which seem to be the norm recently.

I personally use libro.fm. They have a lot of things that aren't audible exclusive, but not everything sadly. Also no non-English content

I have realised the no service will have all the books. So why not pick one that has more local authors and comes from a company that treats their workers and authors a bit better?

> but it doesn't really refute any of his core assertions: they still have the appearance of abandoning their core mission to focus more on profits

They don't refute that, but they claim that road was chosen in agreement with Elon. In fact, the claim this was his suggestion

This is desktop only.

Linux is market leader once you bring in mobile, embedded and so on.

> This is desktop only

So no laptops? Isn’t Steam Deck really just a generic PC with a different form factor? Could (and should they even) StatCounter easily filter out the data coming from it

I believe that laptops are counted as desktops for this kind of stats. The split is by UI. Mobile is phone and tablets (same UI), laptops and desktops are desktop (same UI).

Servers are a case apart because especially for Windows they have the same UI as desktops even if Microsoft has a no GUI option now. I believe that nearly all Linux servers are command line only.

They're looking at browser traffic. I assume people don't do a lot of web browsing with Steam Decks (maybe I'm wrong, never used one), so they're probably not being counted.

Some data I found on the internet suggests Apple ships about 6 million Macs per quarter, and they're at around 15% market share in the stats linked here. Other data I found on the internet leads me to guess Valve has sold around 3 million Steam Decks in the 2 years since they launched.

So my guess is that if you factored Steam Decks into this they'd account for about another 1% - very roughly.

I've definitely browsed the web on my Steam Deck when I wanted to install a fan patch to a game, but I imagine I am in a small minority. Pretty sure the Steam Deck doesn't even ship with a browser, since I remember manually installing Firefox. And booting into the desktop mode has its own friction, and it's not exactly a smooth experience to use a Linux DE on the touchpads / touchscreen. These days I actually just opt to download everything on my actual desktop computer and just SSH them to the Steam Deck.

Do you put it on a desk? At least I don't...

But it DOES have a "desktop" mode...

I suspect that the Steam Deck is considered a desktop rather than a mobile device. Same as laptops.

steam deck would be included in that.

I think it would be more interesting to keep quiet about this and monitor what type of information this backdoor is used to access.

The counterintelligence that would give you should be far more valuable.

This blog post could have been written by me. This is exactly how I feel, on all accounts.

Hope this doesn't mean we are in a cult ;)

I wonder how much the winzip and winrar guys made

As soon as the first person registers WinRAR I'm sure they'll let you know!

Here, the same guy who wrote zip folders: https://twitter.com/davepl1968/status/1760716122591252882

I'm aware of at least 2 people, one being myself.

I also own one. It's the best file archiver for, well, archival, and the license really isn't that expensive.

Also there was that one time last fall where they gave a meme website a discount code that brought the price down to €9.99 and sold 5000 licenses in a day.

Unfair, there are dozens of us who paid!

RAR as a library in games/media? Tons.

He was probably high on something when the idea that AGI competes with Nerolink came to him.

You know, the same way he decided trains are evil because they competes with his cars.

You sure don't want artifical intelligence on chips competing with natural intelligence you ise as your chips, do you?
