've been an Android user since I got my first Samsung Galaxy S3 and getting ads on the standard launcher on my Philips Android TV was one step too much.
Google will start showing ads in the launcher sooner or later. I might pay more money for the Apple equivalent, but they are least didn’t seem as hostile to their users as Google does.

Joe,
Well, Joe, you made it. A lot of people said you wouldn’t. Frankly, I’m surprised, but here we are. You know, this job—it’s not easy. People don’t understand. They think they know, but they have no idea. Believe me, it’s the toughest job in the world. I did it better than anyone ever has, that I can tell you. People say it all the time. But now it’s your turn. Let’s see what you’ve got.
You’re going to learn quickly, Joe. The media? They’ll love you at first. They’re on your side now, we all know that, OK? They never treated me fairly. It was a witch hunt from day one. Fake news—nonstop. But here’s the thing: they’ll turn on you too. Trust me, they always do. And when they do, you’ve got to be ready. They’re not your friends, Joe. They never were.
Let’s talk about the swamp. You know it’s bad, I know it’s bad—everybody knows it’s bad. But it’s worse than you think. Much worse. They’ll smile to your face and stab you in the back. I cleaned a lot of it up—did an incredible job, by the way—but you’ve got to watch out. You’ve been here 47 years, but I don’t think you’ve seen what I’ve seen. Be strong, Joe. You’re going to need to be stronger than you’ve ever been.
America First, Joe. Always. I rebuilt this country. Best economy in history. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it. Record jobs, record stock market, and then—boom—the China virus hit. Total disaster. But we handled it amazingly. You’re inheriting something great, don’t mess it up. People love America First, Joe. You’d better not forget that. The radical left—they’ll try to pull you away from it. Don’t let them do it. They’ll ruin everything. Believe me, they’re bad news. Very bad news.
And here’s the thing: they’ll tell you to undo everything we did—big mistake. Huge. The military? I rebuilt it. Our trade deals? Best deals we’ve ever had. You don’t want to go back to the old way. It was a disaster before me. Total disaster. Keep what works, Joe, even if they tell you not to. They won’t admit it, but they know I was right. Everybody knows it.
Anyway, Joe, good luck. You’re gonna need it. We’ll see what happens, right? A lot of people are watching. And you never know, maybe I’ll be back in 2024. People are talking about it. A lot of people.
Donald J. Trump
45th President of the United States
P.S. Don’t let Kamala take over. I hear she’s already measuring the drapes. Sad!
Edit: forgot to mention that this is not the real letter. Obviously.
Yeah…
I bet there has been no delays expediting the group contributions to Sony…
You do know that Iceland is essentially inhabited by Vikings?
DON’T POKE THE BEAR!
Just checked it out on steam and it seems that it’s micro transactions focuse. If it just was cosmetics it would have been ok, but since you can purchase vehicles it sounds like it’s leaning towards “get the upper hand by paying money”.
Anyone who have played the game that can tell if there’s better cars to buy for real money than you can “earn” ingame?
Did anybody bother to look at the numbers?
I checked the stats for the last 4 years here and it looks really strange. Statistics isn’t my thing… But it looks like it’s wise to be cautious and not to fully trust the numbers.
Around the beginning of last year there was a huge dip in the Windows market share that seemed to be correlating with a peek in “unknown”. Windows then catched up in a somewhat erratic way.
Mac OS also shows a weird behavior. Starts at 16%, up to 21% and the down to 14% between October and November…
It’s not likely that a huge number of people decided to buy a Mac and then trash it one month later. Same but opposite goes for the windows stats.
I think it looks like there is an uncertainty of more than the total market share Linux is shown to have…
Not saying that Linux isn’t increasing on desktop market share. Just saying that numbers seen to have quite a bit error margin and to be cautious if referring to these numbers.

Love the tyre screeching on gravel 0:42…
In its email, Google states that it is closing down the program because of the “overall increase in the Android OS security posture and feature hardening efforts.” This has led to researchers submitting fewer vulnerabilities than before.
Keeping the program will reap the benefits from both no. 1 and no.2 while closing down the program only enables no.2.
Not hard to see the priorities here…
Ok. I too hate that everything is directed to cloud and saving locally is treated like something strange that no one wants.
The day Autodesk removes the capability for local save (“export your files from cloud” in some Autodesk website is not the same as saving files directly from Fusion 360) is the day I leave Fusion 360.
Wait what?
So when I save my F3D files locally I don’t get the whole project in the file?
If you’re getting excessive sweaty hands when wearing nitrile gloves, thyroid problems isn’t the most likely cause…
Both are CL 19 do you should be fine.
I recommend you shrink the windows partition on the internal drive and install Linux in the then empty space. The extra disk you have can be used as and extra disk or you can create mount points for /home and other directories.
Microsoft does not recognize other operating systems as “equals” (WSL is not Linux being week. It’s making Linux a puppet controlled by Windows) and therefore they design everything Windows as it was the only OS in the world. Therefore keeping Windows will often require some extra acrobatics from you.
Google has worked hard to break up Microsoft’s monopoly and Windows-Office lock in effect. The way Google designed Android and the eco system around it pushed out the model where you fully own your device. (“own” as in be in full control of what you bought).
Nowadays people are used to get things for the price of their personal data and/or spending half of the time using their device by watching ads.
As I see it, Microsoft has just adjusted their offering on the consumer market to what people are used to today.
This repository and its releases do not contain game assets. The original game is required to build or run this project.
Nintendo might try but there wouldn’t be much substance in such claim.
Unable to understand and/or admit that both sides can be bad. It’s ok to admit the “your team” did some nasty shit and it doesn’t in any way cancel out what the other “team” did.
Also, Winning an argument doesn’t in any way make you a winner. Actually, an argument that someone “won” often doesn’t lead to a change for the better or even make anyone convinced that your arguments were valid.
What’s is the main topic of your blog?
How good is good do you say?
We got a pretty good results with CER at 4% and WER at 15%!
This was on a limited dataset used to test and train which most likely means that if you introduced an even larger dataset with greater variations in handwriting style for testing the numbers might be even worse.
Very simplified: A risk of a character wrong every 20th character and a word wrong every 7th word. The SER was around 20%.
There’s an reason why no one has released a good model for western letters yet and why companies pay up to 1€ for capturing data from 10 handwritten pages.
It will come but OCR isn’t as sexy as developing text2image solutions.
Yeah… While making users run Linux applications on a system where Google is root might be a wet dream for Google, it’s more of a nightmare for me.
I really hate the fact that the vast majority of consumers are perfectly fine with not being in full control of their appliances and that Google (and others) register everything they do.
