Are we talking some lucky sort of patcher app, or are those days long gone?

Yeah, I just re-read your comment. I see now that mine didn't really answer to what you actually said - sorry for that.

I agree with you, though. Unlocking the screen is useless when the user only wanted to quickly toggle a mode of connectivity or such.

Altering the prompt will certainly give a different output, though. Ok, maybe "think about this problem for a moment" is a weird prompt; I see how it actually doesn't make much sense.

However, including something along the lines of "think through the problem step-by-step" in the prompt really makes a difference, in my experience. The LLM will then, to a higher degree, include sections of "reasoning", thereby arriving at an output that's more correct or of higher quality.

This, to me, seems like a simple precursor to the way a model like the new o1 from OpenAI (partly) works; It "thinks" about the prompt behind the scenes, presenting only the resulting output and a hidden (by default) generated summary of the secret raw "thinking" to the user.

Of course, it's unnecessary - maybe even stupid - to include nonsense or smalltalk in LLM prompts (unless it has proven to actually enhance the output you want), but since (some) LLMs happen to be lazy by design, telling them what to do (like reasoning) can definitely make a great difference.

FYSETC kit

Find Yourself Stuck, Escape The Challenge?

Forget Your Silly, Edgy Tech Chase?

Fuck Your Skull, Embrace The Computer?

Fried Yogurt Stick, Extra Thick Cheese?

...

No? Then, tell me, what kind of kit is this?

No, that would make it too easy to do third-party screen repairs. Apple wouldn't allow that...

I'm not the person you're asking, but I have some evidence to support the case that making it work without proprietary code is a problem. GrapheneOS, a privacy-oriented Android-based smartphone OS, write in their usage guide:

By default, GrapheneOS has always shipped with baseline support for eSIM, where users can use any eSIMs installed previously on the device. However, in order to manage and add eSIMs, proprietary Google functionality is needed. This is fully disabled by default.

eSIM support on GrapheneOS doesn't require any dependency on Google Play, and never shares data to Google Play even when installed.

Edit: The fact that they haven't implemented eSIM functionality without using the proprietary Google stuff, indicates to me that it's either impossible/blocked or simply too hard with practically nothing in return to have been prioritised (yet?)

Something like this, but for weed?

Yeah, it's somehow comparable to a scenario where they had the power to decide you can't use uber/taxi, or postal services, because you used it to transport the HDD you're using for your private collection of copyright-protected media.

There's are some OpenStreetMap-based apps that are worth checking out. Some of them are made for specific purposes, while other are for general navigation. I've tried some of them through the time with various success, though I've still haven't found a favorite to stick with for good. But I believe making the switch is definitely possible and probably worth it!

You can install all the mentioned apps through F-Droid:

  • GraphHopper Maps
  • OsmAnd+
  • Organic Maps (hike/bike)
  • Alpi Maps (hike/bike)
  • SeaMapDroid (nautical)

Additionally, use Transportr for public transport navigation almost anywhere in the world, and GMaps WV, a restricted WebView wrapper for accessing the web version of Google Maps. Intended for use when OpenStreetMap isn't enough.

For example, users might spend a long time at a screen because they are thinking about

... anything!

what am I gonna eat?

I should remember to feed the bicycle...

who stole my cat btw?

who am I to judge?

who am I?

what's the meaning of life?

what's the meaning of finding it?

what's the meaning of figuring out what the meaning is of finding it???

I've recently heard of some people living near the coast, carrying on an old local tradition of simply growing potatoes in seaweed instead of soil, adding a natural salty taste to them.
