Asus sounds good.

Also heard and have seen it from HP work notebooks, wouldn't wanna buy them now.

Also older Acer or Lenovo laptops used to have a bunch of bloatware on there. Idk if that changed significantly. I do have to say, think pads haven't let me down though.

If he downloads a lot of movies that might get annoying, but if he's just streaming them from a Netflix app or something that's totally doable.

If he plays fallout idk how demanding that is to your disk, but games in general profit from faster storage. Movies usually don't as much.

If he plays a lot of AAA games that are bigger, his drive will get crowded real quick with 256gb. If it's just a few fallout games, he will be fine I think.

That said, 256gb is on the lower end of modern notebook hardware FYI, even on SSDs.

The storage sizes are universal, 256gb is 256gb. Just on an SSD it's faster.

HDD (Hard Disk Drive) is like a CD, slower but more storage.

SSDs (Solid State Drive) are like flash drives, they are faster but not as much storage.

Also if your drive breaks, an HDD often only fails in part so your data might be recoverable. If SSDs fail, they fail all the way, and there's no way to get it back.

And then there's some quirks about secure delete, fragmentation, the amount of certified writes and things like that, but this is only a broad overview.

Also if you hear internal or external, that means external you gotta plug in via USB, while internal drives you have to open your case, insert the drive and connect it to the mainboard and power supply.

And M.2 drives are just way smaller SSDs that are always internal and they can be a lot faster than normal SSDs, but they need their own special slot on the mainboard.

I hope this helps :)

Also asking for the certified hardware nerds to correct and supplement my comment ^^

I mean we can see what they're replacing it with and what that incentivises.

This incentivises people to use WeChat. Which makes me think it's someone who has stakes in WeChat. Now I cannot prove that the Chinese government has something to do with it but this certainly looks pretty sus.

Cannibal Corpse.

Sorry not sorry.

There's licenses that restrict monetary use. Not saying that's the best thing to do, but that certainly would mean you only provide it to people who don't make money from it, which might still be a lot of people.

Funnily enough, because it's injecting code into a website as a browser, it's probably using a bunch of case law and positions very similar to ad blockers trying to defend their use. Which is ironic on many levels.

Totally agree with this take.

The hype has been there everytime we discovered something big. Only this time the hype overshadows the discovery a bit. Doesn't mean we shouldn't expect our scientific progress to revert back to this known pattern again.

This would have been way more engaging without the loaded question.

It either sounds like you want to stir controversy through the question or you genuinely think most to all Lemmy users hate blockchain, and both is bad.

Not a fan of this post as it is presented even though the actual question could have been interesting.

Because in a lot of applications you can bypass hallucinations.

• getting sources for something
• as a jump off point for a topic
• to get a second opinion
• to help argue for r against your position on a topic
• get information in a specific format

In all these applications you can bypass hallucinations because either it's task is non-factual, or it's verifiable while promoting, or because you will be able to verify in any of the superseding tasks.

Just because it makes shit up sometimes doesn't mean it's useless. Like an idiot friend, you can still ask it for opinions or something and it will definitely start you off somewhere helpful.

Awesome, thanks for the info :)
