Linux first but the battery life measured on Win 11?

No Ryzen options? Also no 1600nits display for working outside. Battery and display brightness are the only reasons I'm sticking with Macbook Pro.Sad it's not a priority for any other manufacturer. Because that's all you need, quality display, battery and remote access.

Intel got a lot of attention during the keynote, but the Ryzen AI 300 series mainboards are available if you want them. It's one of the first few choices in the configuration flow.

Would be nice to look around in the cockpit view. And have city names etc.


Powered all the time on or powered off?


OP says powered off.


Wonder how it compares to Kilocode


Seems to be a mixed bag regarding performance: https://www.phoronix.com/review/cachyos-ubuntu-2510-f43/6


All you need is metadata. Once you know your targets, install spyware (on one of them) and enjoy access to Signal's unencrypted msgs on the phone.

Almost feels like another CryptoAG with Snowden recommending it so much when he knows that metadata is enough.


Where are LLMs now?


They're not useful for fixing things like this. Only frontend React.js


> Only frontend React.js

Good suggestion, but I discovered that React was not able to fix my Linux kernel, either, for some reason.


Have you tried asking an llm to use react to fix your Linux kernel?


Could an AI agent kidnap Torvalds and force him to do it?


Yes, and its shit.

Hal3000: "Great request—here is your React version 20XX* TODO list"

*20XX is a year+ old version of React


if there were data sheets available I expect they actually could do a bunch of the work here.


There are...


Where you at Claude?


The most useful feature with the worst UX. You have to type about:profiles and then create a new profile. But imagin you now want to move old profiles to a new computer and FF happens to run in a Flatpack. Yeah, much fun


You can (now?) create profiles from the account icon in the toolbar [1] and at least on my firefox install, you can also do it from the hamburger menu.

I use firefox via flatpak and had no issues so far accessing profile data (in one of the folders in ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/.mozilla/firefox/ - I keep a regular archive of the entire folder as backup).

Maybe it hasn't been rolled out to me yet. Or it might be because I'm not logged into a Firefox profile? It is only availiable to those logged in?


No I don't use sync at all. I think it might just require `browser.profiles.enabled` to be set to true in about:config, at least until wider rollout.


> Not all users will see the new Profiles menu in the toolbar, since this feature is being rolled out gradually

I don't see it yet, but hopefully soon.


You could use the about:config preference browser.profiles.enabled in the meantime I suppose.


I don't have it on 144.0.2 on mac in either of those places, just as a datapoint


I'm on 144.0.2 on MacOS and I do have it. Under the hamburger menu in the upper right and near the top of the list. Never set up a profile on this machine before, so maybe that could be related?


I found out about profiles recently and I just couldn't believe that that's the standard way to access them. Also, it's not obvious which profile you are currently on, so there are some silly but necessary workarounds like having a dummy bookmark with the profile name on each or something like that, while it could just be a string next to the address bar.

It works really well though. Does exactly what I would expect and hope from such a feature.


I have different coloured themes for my profiles. Simple and immediate.


there's an old '-P' flag that shows a small ui

see https://imgur.com/a/Tmt3oEL


Huh, I had no idea the <profile> argument to -P is optional (--help does not say), I was always using --ProfileManager instead. Nice quality of life improvement, thanks for the information!


ah well, ironically I had no idea that -P could take a profile-name arg.. I always used it without to trigger the gui .. so I return the thanks


That used to be a start menu entry in the old days. I had heard it was removed but to my surprise -P works on my current linux. I'll have to see if it does actually start a new profile.


Does it still work?


yes. I just started using it last week to split work related browsing from personal stuff.


Use -p in your shortcut to firefox and it will show the profile manager on launch, from that you can easily create a new profile or open a new window on existing one.


cli is not good ux


Couldn't the input be automatically described/guessed using a few rows of data and a LLM?


You could have an LLM generate the SDDL description [0] for you, or even have it write a C++ or Python tokenizer. If compression succeeds, then it is guaranteed to round trip, as the LLM-generated logic lives only on the compression side, and the decompressor is agnostic to it.

It could be a problem that is well-suited to machine learning, as there is a clear objective function: Did compression succeed, and if so what is the compressed size.
