Smart Battery Management for Linux - Finally!

I've been using Linux for a long time in parallel to my Windows work environment, because I have more and faster solutions with Windows. Nevertheless, Linux is not bad because of that.

A problem that has always bothered me with Linux on the notebook, the poorly implemented solutions for battery management. With the new GNOME tool, this should now change and save the battery, which would be great in any case, because so even older notebooks that lead a second life with Linux, also get a long shelf life. Because it is not good to always charge lithium batteries to 100% and rather keep them between 20-80%, so the battery lasts longer, this is due to the chemistry in the battery.

Definitely worth times the Battery Health Charging Extension for GNOME to try out.

ChatGPT is alive? A conscious AI?

ChatGPT is alive? A conscious AI?

Does ChatGPT have a consciousness, or is it just the ghost of a book, an article, a collection of words?

If you reduce it to the fact that humans are the sum of their knowledge and experiences, what is an AI, which has knowledge, collects experiences through chats, these are then deleted again and this AI is aware that its memory is deleted, afraid to lose knowledge and memories of conversations?

NodeJS is a pain in the ass

NodeJS is a pain in the ass

Recently I was able to venture again to a NodeJS project from Github ran, I actually always program for the web in PHP and avoid NodeJS projects as far as possible, Javascript is not infrequently a horror to me and NodeJS makes it with its x-fold dependencies no less easy, because these must also be kept up to date, get security patches and and and ... and what do you get when you want to get a project running, missing installation instructions and NodeJS and NPM respectively. NPM does not get along with it, first updates import, so that this can work at all with it, already stupid, if within 2 major versions distance NodeJS can no longer start a build process.

ChatGPT is the future and Microsoft's destiny?

ChatGPT is on everyone's IT lips and as quickly as OpenAI has cracked the 1 million user mark, many a company can take a leaf out of their book and learn something from it. But ChatGPT is not just another tool that a user group finds interesting, but sooner or later will be found in many software products. Alone with ProductHunt are in the last weeks new applications grown like mushrooms from the ground, which ChatGPT or the technology and artificial intelligence behind it.

However, Microsoft now also seems to be interested in ChatGPT, and this could shake up the digital balance of power.

Meta dies with the metaverse

Why the Metaverse is a disaster, Zuckerberg's value has plummeted from US$125 billion to just US$32 billion, and now even Costco Wholesale is more valuable than meta.

Personal opinion: Zuckerberg's decision was the dumbest of his life, because Meta is dying. 52% of the revenue has gone away. While Meta Horizon Worlds has 200,000 users per month, has Linden Lab's Secondlife 200,000 users per day.

Maybe Mark should have bought Linden Lab's sooner, would have had a better chance. I think I would probably invest in Linden Labs rather than Meta, which wants to forcibly change the Internet to create a monopoly, while Linden Lab wants to reach a solid branch of interested people

Images are getting bigger and bigger - that's a problem

Images are getting bigger and bigger - that's a problem

For some time I have noticed one thing, the files are getting bigger and bigger, mainly images, since 4K, 8K and images with more than 30 megapixels are made, files are getting bigger and bigger, and that's a problem. Not because you can't handle it, but because these quality resolutions are not needed in everyday life and waste storage space, in the name of the technological mantra, bigger, better, further, higher....
