Gemini is hardly an uprade to Assistant, though. Gemini can’t do any task automation (aka the one thing Google Assistant could do) because it’s a LLM that most likely doesn’t even ‘know’ that it’s being run on a phone…

Plain vanilla dyed blue; they used to call it delfino I think

And I have PDO pressings of Faith No More albums that are almost 40 years old and have just started to rot. Common occurrence with PDO pressings apparently; one manufacturing error is all it takes.

I mostly don’t follow the news; I value my mental health too much for that these days…

Whoever designs their logos definitely needs a raise IMO.

I’d buy all the stickers if it didn’t cost twice their value just to ship them to me.

Great. Now what?

There may be already such a case but you and me have never heard about it and it’s probably by some chinese no-name brand.

A proper metal mid-tower case with modular front panel I/O (using Framework’s system with the USB-C converters) and modular optical drive/hard drive bays would be unique.

And a TrackPoint.

This is not really that interesting and kinda weird given the non-upgradability, but I guess it’s good for AI workloads. It’s just not that unique compared to their laptops.

I’d love a mid-tower case with swappable front panel I/O and modular bays for optical drives; would’ve been the perfect product for Framework to make IMO.

It may as well be Hamburg, Germany because of the German word for “Photo” and URL down there but why would they use an English version of Windows?

It really seems like every other review of a ThinkPad is written by someone who’s constantly whining about the dimensions of the device (too thick, to bulky) and/or the design, with most of them ending up begging Lenovo to remove the useless nub thing on the keyboard because no one uses it anyways and while they’re at it a larger touchpad and better speakers and bla bla…

Basically, most reviewers expect everything to be a MacBook clone and can’t cope with the fact that business users don’t necessarily care about a fancy design.

They didn’t take the TrackPoint away, did they?!

Edit: They really did… Way to kill a brand guys. I blame every goddamn tech journalist who wanted it gone, fuck you so much.
