Android was once a haven for tech-savvy users, but now it's overly restrictive.
When you unlock the bootloader, apps malfunction, features disappear, and you're regarded as if you're engaging with malware.
This isn't improving security; it's poor engineering and unfriendly user policies.
The user experience deteriorates annually, plagued by bloatware, ads, faulty updates, with no solution in sight.
If you attempt rooting or unlocking the bootloader, you're penalized.
We aren't treated as users, but rather as sources of income confined within locked hardware.
Manufacturers are unable to deliver functional software and they’ve stopped pretending to care
#Bitcoin could be "banned" in the European Union
The European Union could outlaw Bitcoin if data on the blockchain, such as public keys, is considered personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) proposes that this data should be deletable, something that is technically impossible due to the immutability of blockchain.
This requirement could lead to the deletion of the entire blockchain, which would mean the end of legal use of Bitcoin in Europe.
The proposal also considers that anonymizing transactions is not sufficient, and that some could be classified as high-risk or criminal.
The EDPB insists that "technical impossibility" does not exempt from compliance with the GDPR.
Asked four different AIs to name a random number between 1 and 25.
ChatGPT — 17
Claude — 17
Grok — 17
Gemini — 17
LLMs don't generate randomness, they predict what a person would answer.
And it turns out that for some reason people often name exactly 17.
If you use AI without customization and your own data, you get exactly what everyone else gets
Same model -> same answers
The real benefit is when you contribute something of your own: drafts, tasks, correspondence, thoughts, etc.
When a model knows how you think, what is important to you, how you write and what decisions you make, she stops being just an assistant and becomes an extension of your head.
Otherwise, it's just a general template in a pretty wrapper.
