I kinda feel like Revolution may have done better on SyFy or FX rather than NBC. Was canceled after the second season.

Because:
- I'm not a lazy, smooth-brained rube.
- I'm not in the business of selling AI to lazy, smooth-brained rubes
- I have no stake in the supply chain nor do I stand to profit from those selling AI to lazy, smooth-brained rubes.
Furthermore:
- I don't trust "AI". If I'm going to have to fact check it anyway, might as well just do it myself and earn the damn knowledge.
- AI does not work for me (or you). It works for the companies who are forcing it on you and sucking up your data.
- The energy costs and water requirements are mindbogglingly staggering
- I refuse to feed or ride any hype train
- It's creating scarcity of things that could be put to better use (energy, water, computer components, land, talent, you name it).
- It's not even AI. It's just a dead-end bullshit generator
Dubstep? Techno?
Ugh. Just stop with all the "infotainment" nonsense and give us the aux port back.
do GSI roms still contain google binaries (play store, play services, etc...) or is it similar to a AOSP rom where its just a bare android image
Yes. That's to say they can be either depending on how the ROM was built. All of the GSI ROM builders I've worked with usually have multiple releases of the same build with different configurations: root, no root, with Google services (often MicroG), without Google services, combinations of both, etc.
To my understanding, GSI ROMs are basically just the "userland" portion of a full ROM. Basically they use the stock/existing kernel, drivers, etc but replace the rest of the system that runs on top of it. If memory serves, they're possible due to Project Treble. Sadly, they still require an unlocked bootloader to install, so they're not a total fix-all.
They're also very generic generic images (hence the "G" in the term). They're not optimized for any specific device and can be hit-or-miss feature wise depending on the device. If you're already reading about a specific device on XDA forums, then you'll probably be able to see what works and what doesn't.
TL;DR: Running a GSI ROM is like upgrading to a newer Linux distro but without upgrading the kernel.
Eh, still better than a dumb, annoying, and/or super political account lol.
In my nearly half century on this planet and having dealt with many a drug dealer in my younger days, absolutely none of them have been this pushy 😆
"Does it piss you off when Google/whatever does [blank]? Yeah, me too. So I run my own versions to not have to deal with that crap. Would you like me to set you up an account on my stuff?"
Best I can offer is https://github.com/searxng/searxng
I run it at home and have configured it as the default search engine in all my browsers.
[Weary sigh]
This has been the push I've needed to pull the trigger on installing solar. My electric rates have gone from $0.09/KWh to $0.23/KWh in the last 5 years. Just got my bill after reducing as much as I could (my house is all electric sans the furnace). "Surely it'll be under $100 this month," I thought. Nope.
I've got 800W of PV currently in an ad-hoc setup* but I'm putting together the plan for a 3.2 KW system that can auto switch between battery, PV, and grid without backfeeding. Minus the batteries, the whole setup is going to cost me about $7,000. (Batteries aren't required and will be added later)
Grid-tie is technically legal in my area, but the hoops you have to jump through are insane and there's a high likelihood of being denied by the power company over the most bullshit of minutiae (seriously, they treat someone possibly feeding back 400 watts the same as if you were a MW-scale solar farm).
*The ad-hoc setup is just 4x200W panels in a 2S2P config. I charge an Anker PowerStation from that and use it to power random stuff. It's currently powering my server stack while charging from the panels. :)
