Would you trust AI to scan your genitals for STIs? in c/[email protected]

Honestly? Before the AI craze, I'd have said yes, because I believe AIs tailored to do one specific thing can outperform humans. Today? I'd rather not, as I could not let go of the thought that it might be somme shitty model quickly put together by the nephew of the CEO...

Sounds. Great. Sovcit. in c/[email protected]

I get the feeling, but for real, please don't feed that mentality :( We don't need more

It's true that keyboard layout is also a huge problem in Switzerland... I prefer fr_CH

I took a look, thanks for the discovery! However, the prices are... out of my budget

Which alternatives to the Framework laptop? (lemmy.aisteru.ch)
 

I am looking to buy a new laptop, and I'd be interested in the Framework laptop. What I like are the replaceability and upgradeability of parts, and the fact it is not (to my knowledge) tied to any large corporation.

However, they are not available for Switzerland, and there is no telling if and when they will be. I'm not dead set on having replaceable parts, but I'd at least like to have something that would not cause issues if I were to install a Linux distrib' on it (I had a Surface Pro, and had trouble setting up a Mint on it due to missing drivers for the keyboard). And helping smaller companies is a nice plus.

What would your recommendations be?

Apple and Samsung aren't the world's top two smartphone vendors for once in c/[email protected]

I'd say Samsung is comparable, but Apple... Isn't the goal of buying an iPhone to have a closed environment? (or was)

I tried the Mi 8 Lite, honestly I'm not impressed. It's super cheap, which is really cool, but the OS it comes with is riddled with bloatware... Not sure it's worth it
