Pocketbook sounds great, I’ll check it out.

Thanks for the info!

So Kobo is the way to go then?

I’m really asking, my daughter is becoming a big book worm and we have missed out on some great sales because she only reads physical books ATM. I want her to give it a try with an e-ready and did not like Amazon for it.

He is just stating the obvious, like saying the sun is hot.

But he could say they are engineering to catch up to the trend, right? the question is not if they are to implement AI features in their current 8 year old console. The question is if AI is in their development path in the future

And the answer is no, Nintendo does not seem to see value there. I for one agree, the stuff you mentioned about AI in other comments in the thread go from “meh” to “I actively do not want that in my games”. This is just my opinion as a casual gamer but I see logic in Nintendo’s stance here.

AI atm can replace artists and actors

Another things no consumer wants

Because even though everyone knows Nintendo’s consoles are under powered, they still usually deliver a ton of gameplay fun.

In this particular case, very few people want more “AI” in their stuff… and as even OP admits, current “AI” is crap. So why would I want to pay extra $$$ for hardware that can run “AI” when my gaming experience is likely not going to improve one bit?

They’re just lucky that the current AI Models are crap, otherwise this would be the next standard they’re missing in their “more of the same since 1980” games.

So you are complaining they are not adopting something you admit is currently crap?!

I’m going to complain about billionaire taxes then, I mean I have no billions but I’ll complain anyway

If the “different direction” to sue everyone who liked them before?!

“Patriots” who are either too aloof to get involved or just become traitors along the way to power

Charity can also be used as a tax avoidance scheme and weaponized for political purposes; this is why the rich love it, through charity they are able to help themselves even further

Well, you have no reason to considering the innovations Apple provides are 3 years behind

Feel it still… In my ass

Doing what you suggested and using the “vape detectors” aren’t mutually exclusive.

Well, kind of since I suggested NOT using vape detectors

So you didn’t read my second paragraph?

Happy to read about it of you have any source to share

I know vaping is not without dangers but it is a step forward from smoking. I honestly never read anything about second hand vaping fumes

In any case, I am not in favour of vaping in schools. I just think schools should not spend money in these detector crap. They should address it with their best tool, education

From vaping? I think you have vaping and smoking confused

Considering they are only harming themselves, no I do not care much

As others mentioned, I think schools should dedicate resources to address this situation through education, instead of paying some start up for some surveillance gadgets

So you think we should all be allowed to smoke in non-smoking places?

No, but I see you need to make up a point I didn’t make so you could attack that.

Lazy strawman, you must be from reddit

How is this invading someone’s privacy?

So you think they will not use this to try to identify the vaping student?

Obviously a matter of taste and not trying to insult anyone but I never saw the appeal of the Toy Story movies and, adding the Steve Jobs link to Pixar, this is the ONE thing I never liked about Debian

Other than that I used it for YEARS with no issues whatsoever. Debian is honestly rock solid. I only gave it up when I built a bleeding edge machine (it was bleeding edge for a whole 2 months maybe? hehehe) and I did not trust myself modding it enough to allow for super fresh drivers and other software.

I am now on Garuda Linux which is pretty awesome but I still miss good, solid, old Debian

I agree, but there is a big difference in saying “I don’t know what to do, I need to learn this new thing” vs “there is a scary part to Linux and there is no way around it”

Saying “driving manual is hard” is fine, saying “you need to learn to shift gears without a clutch to drive” is wrong and would scare potential drivers
