  • I was recently asked to make a small Android app using flutter, which I had never touched before

    I used chatgpt at first and it was so painful to get correct answers, but then made an agent or whatever it’s called where I gave it instructions saying it was a flutter Dev and gave it a bunch of specifics about what I was working on

    Suddenly it became really useful…I could throw it chunks of code and it would just straight away tell me where the error was and what I needed to change

    I could ask it to write me an example method for something that I could then easily adapt for my use

    One thing I would do would be ask it to write a method to do X, while I was writing the part that would use that method.

    This wasn’t a big project and the whole thing took less than 40 hours, but for me to pick up a new language, setup the development environment, and make a working app for a specific task in 40 hours was a huge deal to me… I think without chatgpt, just learning all the basics and debugging would have taken more than 40 hours alone







  • The difference is that there were concerns Huawei would share the data with the Chinese government for them to spy on various groups/individuals

    Most countries like America have no problem with you selling the data to other companies or governments (the US Gov themselves buy huge amounts of data) to spy on you, just not to the Chinese government.

    So if the data stays with Toyota (or the people they sell it to), they aren’t likely to upset the governments… But if the data is directly shared with Huawei, it’s likely to run into some pretty quick walls




  • Many ways around that these days. Dynamic DNS, CloudFlare tunnels, tailscale funnel, reverse SSH tunnels, etc

    My setup uses a reverse proxy hosted on a free Oracle VPS that feeds through tailscale VPN, so it doesn’t really matter where the devices are connected, as long as they are connected to the tailscale VPN, the reverse proxy on the vps can serve the stuff

    I run Plex and about 30 other things including my own website through it all without any issues

    You’re assuming that everybody that buys a tablet like this also wants/has a laptop. Many people ONLY want the tablet as a portable computer while having a more powerful desktop in their home or office

    In my case I have a tablet and a laptop, but my laptop ends up staying at home 99% of the time docked and acting as a desktop. When it comes time to replace it, I’ll just get a desktop and keep the tablet
