Sorry, this is a pet peeve of mine, DACs don’t/shouldn’t affect sound quality, they are just chips that convert a digital signal into the correct analog signal and even dirt cheap ones can do that far better than human hearing is capable of discerning. It is the amp circuit that can have different audio qualities depending on how well or poorly it is implemented.
Pretty sure that page is just number of people looking at it not actually installed popularity. While CachyOS is the currently hyped distro it isn’t one a lot of people should be running. Ubuntu, Mint, and fedora all have more users than Cachy.
It really depends on the charge/discharge conditions that the particular test is using. You can do testing in the lab that is way harsher than typical usage or you can make it easier. In terms of this cycle testing for Li-ion I would say that typically the lab testing would be harsher than real world primarily because lab testing is done between 0% and 100% depth of discharge constantly where most people are charging their batteries much before then and only cycling them at high rates periodically.
I hate this suggestion but it is the only one I’ve been able to stomach as something that operates like Nova: Microsoft Launcher
Its actually quite decent and mostly seems to be a forgotten piece of software so it hasn’t been enshitified.
Agreed, I did something similar where I did 3 courses in 7 weeks and that was by far the worst and most stressful time of my entire degree. Anything more probably would have caused a nervous breakdown.
Nobody has released a single piece of AI specific hardware that has an answer to the question “What problem does this solve that a phone couldn’t do?”
I struggle to even imagine what that device would do. They talk about essentially adding sensors to the AI’s perception around you and doing stuff for you. What daily problems do people have that AI can help? As far as I’m aware most people use AI as a glorified search engine.
Ignoring the privacy concerns there, this device just sounds like an extension to your current smartphone, which is in no way a groundbreaking product. The only way it ends the smartphone centric world is if this new form factor also replaced content consumption, which would just be AR glasses, and we are quite a way from technology making those feasible for replacing a smartphone and being usable for a full day.
