If you have the space and charging equipment.

99% of the time, filling up a car with gas does not involve going to the bathroom or getting a snack.

The only time I do that is occasionally on road trips, and still, usually it's just running in to use the bathroom, nowhere near 20 minutes.

Sounds like EEE to me, but it seems a little too early in the cycle for that.

I agree, functional programming is the future

It's 4kb it's the demo scene.

To expand, the rendered to video output is much more than 4k, but the file that produces the output can be small like that, this is usually done by doing a bunch of math to generate the output dynamically.

You can kind of equate it to how a video game can generate 120 frames of 4k footage every second indefinitely, but the game itself is limited in size.

Recording the output takes up space, but you don't need to record it if you can generate it in demand.

I think text is going to be the most dense, information wise. With plain text you could fit about 2500 average length books in 1gb, that's not considering any compression.

Additionally, you could create a novel representation of words to reduce the total amount of text and include a key to expand it back out, replacing common groupings of letters like 'ch' with 'k' for example

If you could get a 2:1 compression ratio from your modified alphabet and a 4:1 compression ratio from traditional compression algorithms you could get up to 20 thousand books! That's a book a day for 55 years,

I think music is gonna take up way too much space. Compressed all the way down to 32kbps which is going to be a pretty miserable listening experience (everything will sound underwater) you are only going to get ~75 ish hours of music.

Cut that in half for a more tolerable 64kbps.

It's a decent amount of music, but not a lifetime's worth of your only entertainment imo.

Edit: for some context on audio, 320kbps mp3 will only net you 7 hours of music.

As far as I understand, not really, as neural networks are more of a metaphor than an analogue. They don't have a one to one correspondence to brain neuron behavior.

I think any unknown phrase and method to install an app will be scary to a person who is that unknowledgeable about it. At that point there isn't any phrase that you could use that wouldn't sound sketchy to them, it isn't the phrase that is the problem, it's the fact that it's unknown and the process is scary.

The people you are describing would still be skeptical even if you explained it to them (and they should be, since they likely don't have the knowledge or resources to properly vet an application from an unknown source)

Sideloading is a term that's been around for decades, it's not some made up word by tech giants to make people scared of installing apps.

The term originates from a designation for transferring data between physical devices and was slowly adopted (because language is fluid) to its current definition (by people on forums like xda).

This isn't some conspiracy and Google and apple don't need to use coded language to prevent you from side loading, apple for example just outwardly and bluntly forbids it.

The reality is that there is a difference now, and it needs to be clarified. How would you, talking to another regular human being communicate to install an app that isn't in the official app store succinctly? If you just tell someone to 'install the app' then you are doing a bad job communicating. Economy of language means that new words are going to form to distill common concepts.

Package managers have existed for a long time, so the concept of app stores isn't new and is actually generally the accepted solution by the open source community. It's typically regarded as the safest way to install software as it comes with auditing and active management.

Side loading does a great job at communicating what is being done, and it helps consolidate the various ways you actually install applications into a nice generic term.

A store being locked down doesn't really have much to do with the concept of side loading anyway, since a locked down device doesn't support it in the first place.

Is the lite version more performant?

It needs a definition because it is a thing that happens though.

You need to differentiate between installing from the app store and installing from other sources, you might not like the choice of word, but we need a word to define it.
