What is October 13, besides being the day before my birthday?

At least they can be used for 2 years. What about single use vapes? Those things have a lithium battery but people throw them everywhere, instead of recycling them.

At least, on mobile devices, it's typically easier to install a privacy-focused firmware (like LineageOS or GrapheneOS). Those AI assistants are completely locked down.

Are you describing WinAmp ?

NetworkChuck has a video explaining how to configure Home Assistant with voice, using Raspberry Pi and self-hosted LLM.

There is no reference to it, but most semiconductors-making equipment is manufactured by a Dutch company named ASML. However, I don't know how useful this will be for EU to transition to RISC-V.

Damn it! I was dreaming of one day scrolling Lemmy on a 0g connection. You ruined my dreams and I am sad now.

What if g is zero?

I guess it will just be full of Fuck Spez and Fuck [(un)elected president]

The keyword here is "modern". Some people use older hardware, like DVRs with ancient firmwares.

Most people, nowadays, use cloud services instead of USB sticks, so I guess it's preferred to focus on supporting legacy devices.

The real problem may be external hard drives. Those are commonly used by media creators. Unless they know that they should format to exFAT when buying, they will learn it when it's way too late.

I may be on the later category. It was ~15 years ago, and little Jimmy (me) got his first external hard drive. However, he didn't know about formats, and that he couldn't copy 4.5GB movies to his new toy.

Back then, it was either 4GB file size limit (FAT32), or it only works on one platform (NTFS, ext2, whatever Apple was using, ...)
