We need to push back much harder on subscription services creeping into every aspect of everything we are supposed to own.

Why does every device I buy want me to pay monthly?
One-time purchase? I wish.

There has been a lot of shakeup at Intel lately. Hopefully this is true and maintaining older Intel hardware for Linux is not impacted.

This is indeed a beta, and Cosmic still feels largely unfinished as of yet. Simple little unfinished bugs are still present but that's to be expected. It will be a great offering once it has fully completed. However it is not serviceable for a daily driver upgrade yet.

This has been there a while and isn't really new. Been noticing that my summary answers have a voice to them. Remember that Browser and Search Engine are two different things. Brave was always our middle of the road recommendation that balanced function and privacy. Browsers have suffered in variety either based on Chrome or Firefox. Vivaldi being the only real strong alternative.
If the AI is bothering you switching the search engine remains a viable option.

This is not a serious company... A constant push to have AI do everything for us. As a tool AI can help assist tedious tasks but there is an insidious push to remove the human element.

背景 在大多数用户的印象里，GPU（图形处理器）是游戏流畅、视频绚丽的保障，是沉浸在虚拟世界背后的无名英雄。然而，在现代移动计算架构，尤其是在安卓生态中，GPU的角色早已超越了“图形画师”的范畴。它通过诸如OpenCL、Vulkan等通用计算框架，深度参与到机器学习、图像处理、甚至安全计算等关键任务中，成为了SoC（系统级芯片）中与CPU平起平坐的“第二颗大脑”。 正是这种权限与复杂性的与日俱增

Vivo's OriginOS is finally coming Globally
Vivo EU and Vivo IN website -- https://www.vivo.com/eu/originos is officially live. Although the page still talks about FunTouchOS 15 only.
However, don't expect full OriginOS as in China to come to global units. It will be a watered down version like Xiaomi does it. In another words, to make users happy, Vivo is just renaming FunTouchOS to OriginOS to fool users.
They will simply add some features of OriginOS China which they also does in FunTouchOS anyways but you can expect a big UI overhaul atleast this time.
OriginOS for global will be released sometime in November and December, whenever Vivo X300 series will debug globally.
