At some point companies will be forced to accept that they're losing out on revenue by not releasing a linux version of their software.

    The 5800 was a nice phone, but for me the king of Symbian phones was the E7, I am still pissed mine got stolen Loved the fold out keyboard, it made the phone absolutely amazing, I remember running Putty Touch on my E7, sshing into a friend's server to access irssi and go on IRC. Looked like such a hacker, and felt badass.

    MPD works pretty well for the music thing, and, I don't know if this is would be an option for you, but I programmed my own smart-paylist-generator in rust as a hobby project to get control of my 500Gb (around 10,000 100% legally acquired tracks cough, cough) library. The additional control over the algo meant I got something that works waaaay better than pretty much anything else I've tried (including Spotify suggestions, etc. — the only thing I still use is Bandcamp for new artist suggestions); if you have the time, I highly recommend a homemade solution like that. It is a lot of work though.

    It all depends on the context to be honest. I’ve found that tech people, outside of professional contexts, are generally a lot more helpful. Things are different at work.

    There are Russians who are more tech savvy than you would expect, but in average they're just like the rest. One would expect that in Russia, like everywhere, the kind of people hired to manage the IT infrastructure in most companies are not the "hacker elite" (unless the company gets one purely by luck) The only shocking thing here is that a military manufacturer - which one would expect to try a bit harder to find the kind of systems manager that can harden their internal systems - seems to have not properly hardenned/segregated their systems. Then again, maybe they're not totally incompetent and do have their mission critical stuff air-gapped and the damage done by the Ukranian hackers is less impactful than the headline implies. From the outside it's hard to tell.

    I do not understand what the hell the AI is supposed to even do. Like great okay so let's say they get to the point that it's trained and can do the job of a human then what. If you replace everyone with AI then no one will have any jobs and no one will have any money so who are the AI businesses going to sell products too?

    Sure, if you have many TBs of data changes per day you probably want a different solution. But that would also suggest you don't need to keep it for very long.
