It's just like with programming: The people who are scared of AI taking their jobs are usually bad at them.
AI is incredibly good at regurgitating information and translation, but not at understanding. Programming can be viewed as translation, so they are good at it. LLMs on their own won't become much better in terms of understanding, we're at a point where they are already trained on all the good data from the internet. Now we're starting to let AIs collect data directly from the world (chatGPT being public is just a play to collect more data), but that's much slower.
I use SmartTube on my android TV and it's great. If you can find an android TV box that doesn't come with malware preinstalled or get android running on the pi, I highly recommend it.
It's maybe very radical in worldview, but not in action. I still use stuff like netflix, spotify and youtube instead of downloading everything and share files through cloud storage, I just view it as something I can enjoy/use now that might not be around in the future. If I really want to keep something, the only things I can trust are myself and FOSS.
I had to reinstall Onedrive at work. Doing that screwed up so much I spent a total of about 8 hours to get everything working again and 2 more to redo the work that was lost before reinstalling. Now I view anything that I don't control directly as ephemeral.
If you're bad at a multiplayer game, you'll die a lot. That's just part of it. Any good game will give new players a way to fight good players (TF2 has the anti titan weapons for example).
Poorly designed games will punish bad players for being bad (like unavoidable COD killstreaks for example).
SBMM is just a band-aid for a problem that lies much deeper.
The solution is simple: Create lobbies by ping and then split the teams by skill. I think titanfall 2 does that, I've been playing for a long time and if I meet another veteran, they are usually on the other team.
Excel is a problem since it changes constantly and relies so much on the mouse. I'm a developer and struggle every time I'm forced to use it.
Search engines have also gotten terrible over the last few years so it's a pretty bad time to learn how to use a computer. Old videos from the 90s and 2000s are great to learn the basics, but unfortunately you can't really follow along.
Paid courses for the basics of MS office exist, maybe you'll be able to find one that starts from zero and teaches the basics of using a computer at all.
Ich finde die Überwachung durch Konzerne noch schlimmer als die durch den Staat. Der Staat ist immerhin in der Regel unfähig und träge, bei Konzernen wirst du á la Cambridge Analytica vollautomatisch durchmanipuliert.
Du kannst dir immer noch ein Smartphone kaufen und deine eigene Software draufspielen. Es gibt genug ROMs, mit denen man die Kontrolle über das eigene Gerät wieder zurückbekommt.
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Win is one of the most windows things that could happen. You just press some keys that should do nothing and boom, microsoft ad. I hope the EU version of windows will be stripped of that crap.
Nvidia driver updates break things all the time. Just rollback and wait a few weeks before you try updating again.
