  • Not at all. I love Organic Maps/Comaps and I think in many aspects including usability (GM is trash to navigate and drains batteries like hell), it’s much better than GM. However, when I want to reach a place I either find the address online, or search on google maps and then navigate to it with a better, lighter, offline, more beautiful app.

    I’m just saying that open source maps usually are heavily lacking on the search functionality, and that’s sad but understandable.



    1. Community data like OpenSteeetMap rely on voluntary submissions, so the data can be either obsessive-level complete or non-existent. Especially businesses don’t put themselves on OSM so their location/name/info are somewhat old or just don’t exist

    2. Search algorithms are incredibly complex to make it work well, Google (the king lf search engines) has likely hundreds of people working on an algorithm, Apple the same way

    3. Offline search is also very taxing even if tue app implemented such algorithms, google maps searches with their billion dollars servers


  • You don’t need to feel emotions to understand the chemical, physical and psicological reactions during intimate moments.

    A robot may know that an orgasm is a release of neurotransmitters in the brain, how you get one from stimulating certain nerves in the genital area, and the expected recations, all without every feeling one, just like you generally know how it works before you feel your first one.

    You can logically understand all the procress because, at a fundamental level, it’s all physics and chemistry.

    When Data banged Tasha Yar, he probably perfectly imitated a sexually-capable male, what is not clear is if he liked it or felt anything, please ore emotiom wise.

    As for the borg episode you mentioned (I never saw it) if he watched porn he probably recognize all the “mechanical” actions, maybe even learns new techniques, but doesn’t feel aroused as a human would.




  • I think that even the best writer in the world cannot find a satisfying reveal of 10 years worth of secrets build-up.

    I think the final was the perfect balance between tying all the loose ends and not fully explaining what the island is. (Or rather, they did in some way, they just left some bits to the imagination).

    And to everyone thinking that the finale makes it so the entire previous seasons did not happen, sorry but you just didn’t get it.




  • Can’t really advise you on what to do, but here’s some conaiderations:

    • I still use a 4th gen i7 with 16 GB ddr3 and a gtx970, still going fine in its 10th year. Just recently upgraded to a gtx1060 I found around • 10 years old techbology isn’t really any diffetent than today, only slower, but luckily architectural incompatibility is becoming less and less of a problem (except when it’s forced upon for no particular reason, see win11) • gpu especially are extremely backward and forward compatible, if you only need more VRAM, you can use a modern gpu with a very old mobo and cpu and chances are you’ll be as good, and even if you need to upgradr them later because you are cpu-bottleneck, you can still keep the gpu. I’m guessing in 90% of cases, pci lane speed is relatively unimportant wether it’s gen3 or gen5.

    Basically, upgradr when you feel you are limited in what you can do, ignore the pressure caused by the generations passing by, as time goes on, I predict we’ll need less and less hardware upgrade until a nee revolutionary technology comes about that changes everything.
