The issue is that gor some reason nobody speaks in total cost of buying a car, not the car dealers not the banking institutions. They all talk about monthly payments and for some reason people can’t do basic math that $1000 for 60 months is a huge fucking amount.
I don’t even care about other features. The tiling home screen of the OS was really nice to use and when used properly by the apps could result in a “live” OS unlike the iconographic interfaces of iOS and Android. The homescreen was also old-age friendly and really a pleasure to use.
The OS ram like really smooth on 512mb RAM, unlike their counterpart android phones which were struggling back then with 2-3GB RAM.
The lumias themselves had a ton of useful features like tap to wake etc, which didn’t consume much battery and in general the Nokia cameras were top notch for the time.
Basically, the OS got killed because of a chicken and egg problem with the apps, and the OS being from Microsoft, got a death knell because of the reputation. Also for some fucking reason, Microsoft decided that the already low userbase WP7s were to be depreciated rather than provide an upgrade path fo WP8 and WP10.
Unable to read the paywalled article, but ROCm is like Nvidia’s CUDA for their GOUs. These used to be supported on and off for consumer GPUs, but get aupported mostly only for datacenter ones. Linux used to be supported, but they are bringing ROCm to windows as well.
Probably AMD is planning to improve support for consumer GPUs, since their GPUs are competitive to Nvidia’s at a lower price point, given that local LLMs, Image generation and other AIs are in a kind of a booming trend.
Currently, Nvidia has CUDA which is more or less the industry standard, so AMD with their ROCm and Intel with their OpenVino etc are trying to chip away at the monopoly.
While I really get what you’re saying, the unfortunate situation is that they are always a secondary fiddle to money
I’ve started forwarding the calls to Google voice or if i accidentally pick the call, i use bixby’s auto answer.

Boost gives me so much joy to use.
Its really good in North America given that it is from Cornell. Gets probably a bird or two wrong out of hundreds
When I’m in India, its a kinda of a swing and a miss, but they’re constantly improving it.
Thats basically the plan eventually. Or just download the playlists that our toddler watches, since tv comes under his purview.
Its the only way we can watch TV in our house.
Im just afraid that they might remove thr ability to install custom apks altogether.
Do debrid services even seed back?
From what ive been reading it seems that they just don’t.
Yeah, having played one of the many roles like this a few years back (pre-covid), I wish tools like these had more presence. Would’ve made my life infinitely easier.
