Kinda like the form, and heard that the t480s is actually pretty decent in build quality, compared with the t14, which isn't a huuuuueg step up in performance. Wasn't really worth paying an extra 100bucks for.

Although a ripoff, you should not use 1vyrain with heads as the deactivation of Intel ME disappears when doing so, and you can not have freed space guaranteed. External flashing is necessary for guaranteed security.

Just add an unparsed value. "Comment": "Hi this is a comment"
I agree with the no trailing commas thing though, that's bullshit.

Its kind of the same reason I actually moved from Bulldozer to Ryzen instead of going to intel, even though at the time I had nothing against intel. My first tablet was a none-screen tablet from a company call Aipek, and it uses a fiddly battery tech stylus and it broke after about 3 years, and then I got a replacement for about 50 buck and I consistently got electric shock from the surface of that tablet.

Its easy but it wastes time making you sift through each one and expend energy processing what you see. AI can do this instantly but YOU have to first see how many pictures there are, then asses every single one. Its meant to demotivate you, but a lot of people dont mind doing captchas and are unaware of the time they're robbing from us.
most new technology i have to interact with feels like it was deliberately designed to confuse me rather than provide some sort of necessary utilitythe button i'm about to click on says it will do a particular thing, but then i click on it and my expectations are subverted and i'm presented with information that i can't reasonably expect to see when i click on the button that i expect to do a particular thingi can't tell if im developing dementia or something but trying to sign up for a service or an """" app"""" or try to navigate through a menu to change a setting "how do we make something useful" vs. "how do we appear to be useful while confusing the user for as long as possible while we siphon all that behavior data to sell in bulk" kill all these fucking people. shoot them in the mouth with a rifle

Apparently Google is removing XSLT support from Chrome. Fuck Jewgle and fuck the retards behind their shit browser for killing the only native client side rendering "framework".https://chromestatus.com/feature/4709671889534976
>>107600403not familiar with XSLT myself probably ran into it long time ago but havent seen it recently enough to remember, what is most likely certain though as with lot of these "legacy" software that it probably rendered very quickly and had a snappy interface compared to this javascript framework-on-framework-on-framework bloat retardation where we have multi-GHZ pcs with dozen cores yet they still need to ramp up to turbo to render a webpage because the javascript bloat is so resource intensive

>>107599455t. autist who can't interpret words
>>107597302I remember this, it's basically stylesheets for XML files. Not really useful except maybe for styling your rss feeds, but rss is getting phased out heavily because it can be accessed without logging in to your account on a site. So there's not really any use of it whatsoever, and the only reason I know of it was because they taught it in a web class I once went to 20 years ago.

Is there an alternative (more advanced) interface available for Nano Banana Pro somewhere other than just the Gemini chat? With a more image gen oriented interface and more features like masking, upscaling, i2i, etc. I also hate that every edit you make through the chat degrades the quality of the image, would be nice to make edits without having to worry about that. Yes, starting a new chat works but if it's anything ecchi (like the most of what I gen lol) it's gonna be denied in a new chat often but not in the chat where it initially was genned.
