According to some analysts, at least until 2027…

It’s pretty heavy which was weird for the first few days, but I got used to it. At first, it was a bit hard to hold that heavy brick in my hands and reach the keyboard on the bottom without losing my balance, but now I don’t have a problem with it anymore. And I notice now that I can start typing blindly more and more, which is super cool.

The OLED screen on the back is a gimmick I rarely use. But I really like that the device sits flat on a surface if you put it into the official case. There’s no camera bump tilting it at an angle, like so many modern smartphones do.

Be aware that they use old BlackBerry screens, which have been sitting in a warehouse for years. They have great resolution, but some of them started to delaminate at the edges and that looks like stains on your screen. I got lucky and my screen is pretty good, but other people got really messed up screens. Unihertz is not handling those issues well, it seems, only offering a free case or very low discounts.

And for now, there has only been one small software update. No security updates at all. They released initial software for early reviewers, then one update for the Kickstarter backers and a bugfix. That’s it.

They have promised one more major Android release, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that’ll be their final update, to be honest.

I don’t think it’ll be shit, but they don’t talk about RAM at all while revealing all other specs. Given current RAM pricing it seems like they’re still trying to make a good deal on that, which will ultimately decide how much RAM customers get. It probably won’t be a lot.

Unihertz put in 12GB into the Titan 2, good luck trying to match that now.

I got the Unihertz Titan 2 in December and I absolutely love it. 12GB of RAM are amazing. The camera isn’t good, I hope they’ll improve that with the next model.

Clicks is very quiet about the amount of RAM in their device, it seems like they haven’t finalized that yet. Given current RAM pricing, I fear a 6GB model coming… :(

At least we still have very powerful netbooks. GPD makes some.

I am really grateful that Microsoft removed Windows Mixed Reality from Windows 11 and turned a lot of good headsets into trash for a while. Got an HP Reverb G2 for 120 bucks and now that works better than ever thanks to the Oasis driver that came out a few months ago.

It’s 2160p per eye and I played Half-Life: Alyx on it, which is an absolute masterpiece. And I got Virtual Home Theater and watched all of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies in full 3D SBS. Better quality than my local cinema.

The Steam frame is supposed to have the same resolution and might be 600+. I’m not paying that much for VR.

And the Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro joystick. Came out in 1998 and people still build USB adapters today to make it work in modern racing games and flight simulators.

Using light sensors was wild back then, the successor didn’t use them anymore because they cheaped out.

I wish we’d still use them. Typing this on a Unihertz Titan 2.

Sure, but there’s a difference between the software and some hosting provider hosting this software, even if it’s on wordpress.com. But I don’t hold it against you, that domain is deliberately confusing.

Not the WordPress software, only the hosting service wordpress.com - they are not the same.

Personally, I use GeneratePress which does not have any AI features. It’s just simple and competent page building with custom HTML and CSS (if you want to). The Divi developers can burn in hell for writing that dumpster fire of a software.

I think this is dumber than renaming twitter to X.

But not as dumb as renaming Remote Desktop to “Windows App”.

That’s not the whole truth and makes your post seem a little ragebaity. The AI assistant is not available on WordPress sites that you host yourself. It’s only available for WordPress blogs that are available on wordpress.com. The WordPress software itself does not come with AI features.

More details about this are here.

There are plugins for adding AI garbage to WP, like the “AI Experiments” plugin, but it’s not getting auto-installed and likely never will be.

Same here, it’s great on Linux.

“AI can code better than most humans.”

They actually mean: After burning millions of tokens and using up the energy of multiple households (for a year) it can code better than an intern.

digikam, it’s a really great alternative to Adobe Lightroom.

But it is kinda funny a propaganda post gets titled “So easily fooled”. How ironic.

Well, it’s really easy to play DVD’s and pretty much every video file format on earth (including relatively modern Dolby Vision .mkv’s) if you use the rpmfusion repos and follow the Multimedia tutorial.

But you have to know that it even exists and have to actively download two packages to enable rpmfusion on Fedora, which always felt extra unneccessary. Flathub is at least included by default now and can be ticked with a checkbox.

Apart from that fuckery, I never had any problems with dnf. It just works, and it’s pretty fast. Especially compared to Windows Update. Low bar, I know. :D

That sounds a bit like burnout, to be honest. I stopped reading for a few years, too, and didn’t even know why, I was just not “in the mood” or at least I thought so. I have picked it up again this year and ultimately realized that my job was stressing me out. I was constantly worried about problems at work, but for reading, you need a calm mind.

Quitting my job and going to another company this year was one of the best decisions ever. Since then I have found time for hobbies (and losing weight) again. I also read on a WiFi-less eBook reader and put my phone into another room, so I cannot get distracted.

I’m the IT admin, so I can run whatever I want. As long as the work gets done, I could even run TempleOS on my machine. 😀
