So his heart was pronounced dead, it didnt function but was left inside I think. I always wondered his abilities and I asked once that very question, particularly towards having sex lol. He used to be an alcoholic and could no longer drink as it would thin the blood and thus mess with the pumping ability.

I don't recall him ever doing anything strenuous and truthfully don't recall his answer to that question but seems like he joked that he could still do it with a woman. He walked slow, talked slowish labored sort of, laughed sheepishly like a labored laugh. Generally looked sick like you can imagine. He drove cars and that's about all I remember. Im unsure if he could turn it up maybe? I haven't spoken with him in a decade. I don't even know if he is still alive.

He got robbed/mugged in a big city about 10 years ago, the mugger took his satchel containing his medical battery bank despite him explaining the battery pack and pleading at gunpoint on a downtown street. He nearly died and an ambulance couldn't arrive in time. A stranger he flagged on the street transported him to a hospital where they somehow got him hooked up to a new battery system. They said he had mere minutes left on the internal battery inside his pump. That was the last info I heard of him. Wild to think about and he told the robber it was a medical pack but they thought it was a laptop bag and took it anyhow, it was more square like a car battery than a satchel but more vertical shaped like a rectangle.

This might be sort if news. I know a guy that had a pump for a heart it pumped the same non stop pressure and he wore a satchel type battery pack forever but functioned fairly normal. Always had to keep extra batteries around and the internal pump had a backup of 30 to 45 mins. This was 15 years ago.

Copilot sucks and I totally understand the POV. I stick with GPT, Mixtral. I don't think their going anywhere anytime soon but they need significant actual refinement.

What I have seen like duckAI in duckduckgo search it cites references and if you query GPT and other models with the specific data your looking towards it will cite and give links to where it sourced the input from like PubMed. Etc.

For instance I will query with something like give me a list of flowers that are purple, cite all sources and ensure accuracy of data provided by cross referencing with other studies while using previous chats as context.

I find it's about how you type your queries and logic. Once you understand how the models work rather than blindly accepting them as supreme AI then you understand it's limits and how to utilize the tool for what they are.

They get you 80 to 90 percent close to generally solving most problems asked. Sure they need fact checked as any info does. They are of major use in all areas of study and life. Just not the god everyone wants it to be.

Its gut wrenching. No amount of lawsuit money could give true justice. Lives were taken. You can't give those back.

Change is the only positive outcome, and money to the families sure. But to prevent that horrible atrocity and to give power back to the people. Where they aren't in fear to go home for fear of losing their jobs or what ever the punishment was.

That warehouse disaster was horrible. Those poor souls. May they rest in peace.

The thing I've started to notice is the further you stray away from a big box products and into micro custom solutions there is always trade-offs. So far as being unique and the hassle that comes with it maintenance.

The more hands off you are big corpo and I agree they aren't your friends, the more you have to maintain the software or setup personally. Or trust the person or people doing it all day everyday and never let up.

I trust other people mostly, who's job it is to do these things all day everyday. Having 3rd parties to audit them, than I could be able to, or would want to, consistently maintain software at the standard it requires with the fast changing landscape we have today.

While you gain more features to some degree, you lose in others like security against vulnerabilities and sheer eyes and minds on the code.

Fuck their CEO if he is off the wall. Focus on the goal of privacy and the tool you need, the rest is fluff. Use what you need first then want.

Turn it all off and it's no more in your face. The browser itself functions great when configured according to your needs.

Fuck their CEO though. Focus on the product. It works and consistently ranks as one of the highest orivacy based browser according to the EFF and multiple non profit sources.

I know many local bee keepers and it's depressing as hell when the colonies collapse for no real reason. They steadily have been in decline for years cutting in half then half again. Bouncing back is rare. It's very stressful and turbulent.

Any tech to save pollinators and especially honey bees is a major major global win. The honey market has been long since adultered with mass amounts of fake products. Bee colonies are declining at unprecedented rates. Pollinators as a whole are a mere fraction of what they used to be. Look at the science. It's atrocious.

 

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this idea. Or explain something that kind of fits/fills the use case and need. I am looking for a basic operating system that can be updated across multiple devices like a living OS.

For instance I have a desktop PC high end specs with the same Operating System as a laptop or tablet but it's live sync. Meaning apps, files, changes made on one system are the same on all devices. I've looked at cloning drives and have done it. Far too slow and cumbersome.

This would be essentially changing devices based on hardware power requirements but having the same living operating system synced across all devices so all data and abilities remain the same anytime something is needed.

Maybe I'm being far fetched or what have you and this might possibly be in the wrong Sub. But I assumed it would fall under self hosted almost. Ive considered a NAS and I'm open to other ways to structure the concept ALL IDEAS WELCOME feel free to expand on it in any way. But dealing with different operating systems and architectures of various devices is wildly difficult sometimes for software, mobility, power requirements not watts but processing power, cross compatibility. I've seen apps that sync across devices but some desktop apps and mobile apps aren't cross compatible and with self hosting so many services that function well across networks and devices after years of uptime you sort of forget the configs of everything it's a nightmare when a single app update or container causes a domino affect. Thanks everyone hopefully this is helpful to others as well with similar needs.
