Technically illegal where I live.

In Brazil you can't sell a device with a given feature and then remove said feature in a software update. Even Apple, known for never allowing downgrades, was forced to downgrade and pay a fine to a customer after his iPad 3 updated to iOS 7 and lost an iOS 6 feature.

In other words... every single Android device sold until today in Brazil allows sideloading. Even if a single customer uses a sideloaded app, removing the ability to sideload freely would be illegal, and because the original feature didn't require a developer signature it can't be enforced now.

The issue is, as always, if this went to court somebody would have to manage to explain to a tech illiterate judge what a "developer signature" is, how this relates to "sideloading" and so on.

You went out of your way to tell someone that if they find llms used full it means they are stupid

Yes.

and not as good as you

That I did not say nor agree with.

But now that your argument doesn’t hold any water

Nothing you said disproved anything about "my argument" but sure.

Cool, go use LLMs. Not sure why you're expecting validation from me, I'll never be impressed by your inability to handle basic tasks and attempt at delegating them to a predictive text generator. I can't do anything about your choices, nor do I care about your lack of skill.

Ah fuck, I've read your comment so now the Nintendo lawyers are knocking on my door

It just means you suck at prompting, which is basically just talking and explaining what you need

I suck at prompting? I didn't write the dozens of papers showing the limitations of LLMs, my guy.

Yep, sugarcane polymers are amazing. They can be made to dissolve quickly or last a little longer, depending on your needs. Technically they could be used as full packaging for chips and bread and similar foods.

openWRT is fantastic and does indeed give you full control over your router... but not your modem. Modems are a complete mess of patents and proprietary software that nobody can control but a select number of companies.

Your joke would work better against the guy boasting about using LLMs, not the one actively avoiding them. Maybe ask a LLM for an explanation as to why.

Congrats...?

Again, not what I said.

But given how difficult interpreting this simple comment has been for you, and your extremely weird reply (toxic gamer? what?) I think you're better off using the LLM to interpret and write for you after all. Good day though!

Where's your conveniently placed LimeWire Premium shortcut, which itself you pirated via LimeWire?

That's not what I said.

LLMs are demonstrably bad at what they do, and what they do is just very basic writing, research and math.

It's not about things I know or don't know. If you're finding LLMs useful, you're lacking in some foundational skills that everybody should practice and be capable of doing.

Not to be a dick, but this reveals more about your own limitations than it does about the power of LLMs...

I think they worked out that men on average think about sex about 8 times as much

I'll assume you're misremembering the study or reading an article about the study not the paper itself, because otherwise, I'd be terrified at the really bad attempt at doing science if any peer reviewed study published these words.

the benefit of it is just not bloating my 128gb phone to it´s limits

That's kinda the thing though, using modern codecs there's no way you'll get anywhere close to facing this issue. A song encoded with Opus at higher than necessary quality is 2.5 MBs on average - that's over 20 thousand songs in 50 GB, not even half of your total storage gets you 50 days of continuous audio.

I love WebKit exploits because they suddenly open up several gaming consoles to homebrew, almost all of them have browsers based on WebKit too.

Whaaat? There's Android for jailbroken Kindles? Back in my day the only thing you could do with a jailbreak was installing a slow version of KOReader that didn't really work very well.

This was only a controversy because GIFs were falling out of favour

They were never falling out of favour, and there's not a single human being out there using WebP, only Google and bots touch that format.

Eco-friendly straws don't have to be mushy paper.

There are several other "vegetable plastics" that last long enough to serve as a fully functional straw, but months later degrade naturally. The reason you don't see them being used is because McDonald's doesn't want to spend an extra $0.10 on every order, because that would totally bankrupt the billionaire company you know.

Or … just don’t connect it to the internet?

It is not because it has a wifi antenna or an ethernet port that you need to connect it.

This is increasingly becoming a false statement, unfortunately. Companies are indeed forcing customers to connect in order to use the regular features. For instance, Roku TVs won't let you change to a regular HDMI input without first connecting and accepting their ToS and updates.

Secondly, even when the forced connection hasn't been implemented yet, the problem is not entirely fixed. These fridges with digital panels are notorious for randomly having that panel fail, and then the ENTIRE FRIDGE stops working, even though the actually useful compressor and refrigeration loop is intact. Of course, the company will also refuse to sell you a replacement digital panel.

A smart appliance disconnected is still significantly worse than a dumb appliance.
