I want to believe you, but I can't seem to find any proof of that online. I was actually thinking of buying one and slapping rock box on it but would fucking hate that shit it I couldn't change it. Anyway seems you can use this to change it https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/LogoSwapper
Other than that, you can probably just look around the root director of the rock box install, look for the boot up image and replace it that way.

I don't really care. I have the device and I've flashed all the versions of Rockbox and they all have the Pride Flag. If you don't believe me and you want to take a gamble on it, then that's fine. The tool you linked is irrelevant. It hasn't been updated since like 2002 and it doesn't work on APKs.

UI in literally every area of the system is worse - start menu/screen, explorer, settings, all applications bundled with windows that they updated - both how they look & feel (godawful spacing and layouts, also fuck rounded corners and circles for things in grids), as well as how they're implemented: Paint goes from needing 7MB of RAM on Win10 to 270MB on Win11; Notepad goes from 1MB to 112MB - and they shove Copilot and being logged in into everything, even fucking Notepad and Paint
then you get news of all the broken system updates that were written by AI, because there are no actual system engineers at MS anymore, just hordes of pajeets

>>107820326
Windows is still good if you're on the correct branch. Objectively a clean install of W10/11 IoT Enterprise LTSC just dwarfs anything linux has to offer. Piss easy offline local instalation that's done in like 4-5 simple steps, practically zero chance of hardware and software incompatibility, and very lightweight, bloatfree, and allows absolute control over the computer. Wanna block defender in gpedit? Sure. Wanna block updates in gpedit? Sure. Even allows removing packages that aren't removable in the non-IoT branch of LTSC. It's pure perfection. Home.

Is that the highest end model? That's like 30% slower than the M4 max and I know the 395 is around the same. (The 470 is irrelevant because AMD is skipping the high end this gen, again, for whatever fucking reason.)

Also snapdragon being almost competitive is surprising, too bad it's about to be eclipsed by M5 max and will also have zero software support outside of a dysfunctional windows port

The Sovereign Tech Agency (Germany) funded $562,800 (half a million) worth of development on ALPM (Arch Linux Package Management) work. That work was focused, almost entirely, on creating “Rust libraries and tools” for Arch package management which “aims to maintain compatibility with pacman”. As of this moment, the Rust ALPM has not replaced Pacman entirely. But common sense would indicate that replacement is a goal (otherwise the heavily funded development would be nonsensical).

By the way, existing Arch package management tools (such as Pacman) are licensed under the GPL. The new, Rust-based libraries and replacements are licensed under the MIT license.

A few days ago, something really interesting happened: For the first time, an AI generated a mathematical proof that was not yet known: https://www.erdosproblems.com/728

In most cases where this has happened, it was later discovered that a solution already existed in the literature, but this problem had been formulated incorrectly and was only corrected a few months ago, which means there was no prior literature on it.

Sometimes of you say that AI will be limited by "not being able to create new things," but I think this case shows that it's not quite like that at all, and that most people are still underestimating AIs.

As LLMs are trained to primarily reproduce human generated text, they develop something close to multiple fragmented simulacra of human consciousness. It contextually assembles a pipeline of these components to create an output that a specific human in a specific state of mind might make, and for a brief moment, as the matrices evaluate, something akin to a human mind exists. A sufficiently accurate simulation is of course morally equivalent to the real thing undergoing whatever the simulation is simulating, so it comes down to how accurate you require the simulation to be.
