Eventually, old computers and operating systems will likely be referred to as dumb computers or dumb terminals or similar, because they don't have artificial intelligence.
Similar to how the term 'digital' has shifted from doing numeric calculations and storage to how it's used today, referring to content you purchase and stream or download from the internet.
Terminology changes over time, and I'm not sure that I like some of the changes. 🤷
What Google's response actually looks like:
It sounds like there might be a misunderstanding about how foldable phones work!
Foldable phones are not inflated. They are highly sophisticated electronic devices with a flexible screen and a complex hinge mechanism that allows them to bend or fold.
Here's how they generally work:
- Flexible Display: Unlike traditional smartphones with rigid glass screens, foldable phones use flexible OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) or AMOLED displays. These displays are built on a plastic or polyimide substrate, which is much more flexible and can bend without breaking.
- Hinge Mechanism: This is a crucial component. Manufacturers like Samsung, Google, Huawei, and others have developed intricate hinge designs (often involving multiple interlocking gears) that allow the phone to fold and unfold smoothly and precisely. The hinge is designed to be durable and withstand thousands of folds.
- Software Optimization: The operating system (usually Android) is optimized to adapt to the different screen states. When the phone is folded, it functions like a compact smartphone. When unfolded, the software seamlessly adjusts the interface to take advantage of the larger, tablet-like screen, enabling multitasking and enhanced viewing experiences.
- Materials: While the core display is flexible, manufacturers often use ultra-thin glass (UTG) or specialized flexible plastic layers on top for improved scratch resistance and a more premium feel.
So, to be clear, you don't "inflate" a foldable phone like a balloon. You simply unfold it to reveal the larger screen, and fold it back up for a more compact form factor.

California city terminates contract with ICE amid LA protests
California City Terminates Contract With ICE Amid LA Protests
The city acknowledged that the change could make it more difficult for some families to visit detained loved ones.Billal Rahman (Newsweek)
The agreement allowed detainees to be housed at the Glendale Police Department facility, which provided access to virtual and in-person visitation.City leaders acknowledged the change could make family visits more difficult, and warned that access to legal representation might be more limited at other facilities.
"Nevertheless, despite the transparency and safeguards the city has upheld, the city recognizes that public perception of the ICE contract—no matter how limited or carefully managed, no matter the good—has become divisive," the city said in a press release.
Here's why Linux market share isn't going to skyrocket anytime soon
You've heard the "prophecy": next year is going to be the year of the Linux desktop, right? Linux is no longer the niche hobby of bearded sysadmins and free software evangelists that it was a decade ago! Modern distributions like Ubuntu, Pop!_OS, and Linux Mint are sleek, accessible, and — dare I say it — mainstream-adjacent.Linux is ready for professional work, including video editing, and it even manages to maintain a slight market share advantage over macOS among gamers, according to the Steam Hardware & Software Survey.
However, it's not ready to dethrone Windows. At least, not yet!

I'll have you know that the history of 'gloves' in English goes back long before the Norman conquest; the roots in English are neither from French nor Latin.
What I really want to know is if shoes in German are called 'fuĂźglof'?
If you say, 'yes', then I really will be jealous. I want a foot glove...

in reply to Stamets • • •I've been known to put garlic salt in a bowl of Cheerios before, so I guess I'd try it at least once, if it was a real thing of course.. 🤷‍♂️
Disclaimer: Back when I'd put garlic salt in Cheerios, the reason was I had a dental cavity and sugar was hurting my teeth, but I also didn't want my cereal tasting like cardboard.
