You're also going to have higher costs from a company offering something open and free, because they're not hiding costs from you. Proprietary hardware vendors consistently use methods to hide cost from consumers. Oem licensing deals, update costs, making up the money on the repair side. List goes on. End result? In this "free" market, a proprietary company will always be able to offer a lower selling price.
It does inherently mean more expensive when it comes to hardware and technology, the specific thing we're talking about?... Feel free to do research if you'd like. System76 is very open with this information, as is the open source hardware community in general.
System76 uses core boot and open source components for as much of the system as possible, you're inherently going to pay more for this. It's not what is being offered to you by another seller under the name "laptop" which you or the community writing your software has to reverse engineer, and in the category of products that it lives within it could most certainly be considered affordable, especially if you take into account the longer useful lifespan afforded to you by repairable open-sourced components.
People are a bad judge of their own skill and overrely on tools and assistants when present. See also: car adas systems making drivers less skillful. More news at 11.
Ban might be a bit much, but we're using tariffs and taxes as a confrontational trade war measure. Might as well use them in return and funnel the proceeds into homegrown solutions that can compete legitimately.
To be fair to bottles, they cité that even their hosting costs are usually barely covered, so I imagine it's running on a pretty lean/Foss dev budget already.
I think they overplayed some situations (For example the scene where murderbot is ambushed by sec unit who is ambushed by the bug after punching eggs), but overall I've really been enjoying the show. It's got a certain lighthearted nature to it that I feel I could watch for quite some time.
They're different in their implementation. Zigbee automesh is more of a centralized router-hub model with self healing relying on routing tables. This caused significant issues for me. Thread is true automesh with all devices acting as a hub in a hub/spoke model, so there's no centralized routing table to act as a single point of failure.
An important difference between thread and zigbee/wi-fi I'm not seeing mentioned is that all thread devices automesh in a hub/spoke model as long as they're not battery powered. So your light bulbs, plugs, etc all become extenders and part of a self healing mesh network without a single point of failure. For me it works better than Zigbee for this reason.
Actually, that depends on the llm product, as it's very very rare to interact with a raw llm these days. Most use programmed toolsets now to perform certain tasks, chatgpt for example uses a Bing api to retrieve and link urls, so it's as good as Bing for validation in that case. Which still is not very good. Most search engines actually suck at providing a secure experience for the end user. Google has gotten better, if not downright brilliant, but they don't vet their ads (cashflow) like their linked urls so it's a moot point to the end user in that case imo.
Wiring your wallet to an api call does do wonders for ruining any potential peace of mind you might seek.
