At least the RPi will run a modern operating system. I used an RPi2 as a main computer for about a year when it was fairly new for exactly the purposes OP decribes, and it was bareable but slow. The 4 is a massive upgrade, especially with 4 or even 8GB of RAM, and should not be overlooked.

Just save your $50 and wait until you have a few hundred, that way you'll be able to buy something much better.

That still doesn't get over the incovenience of having to perform manual software installation for everything. I'd wager the vast majority of people would rather directly order their (whatever) from the Amazon website than have to go to Amazon.com, download the installer, run it, then find Amazon in the menu and launch it. JavaScript as a programming language is far from fantastic, but what the technology facilitates (true cross-platform applications) is.

Are you saying that you want to have to install software on your local machine, possibly discovering that it's not compatible with your hardware or operating system, for every task? The advantage of JavaScript is compatibility. It's as close as we can get to true "write-once, run anywhere".

The name "OpenAI" really irks me... a completely proprietary piece of software which a huge company has the exclusive license to the source for and where a registration procedure requesting an awful lot of information (and which looks like it's literally going to prevent you from using it based on certain conditions) is required to even use the thing is about as "closed" as it gets. I don't like everything the open source initiative does, but they have the right idea with their definition of open - and this isn't it.

No, you can't remove your own posts, but you can use the report button and the moderators will do it for you if there's a clear reason for it. (Also, if you want to reply to someone and you are already the last person to post in the thread. you should edit your original post rather than make a new one - just helps to minimise clutter on the page)

No. That was my first thought too, but my G6 is from one of the newest batches (I bought it at a knockdown price when they'd just bought in the G7 to supersede it), so I didn't think it was really old enough for the battery to have gone that bad yet. To work out what level it was actually shutting off at, I charged it fully and waited for it to get down again and then watched it - the reported charge gets quite low (to like 2%) and then it switches off.

On my Moto G6, I used to get a notification reminding me to charge the battery every time it got down below about 20%. This was quite handy as it meant I almost never got to the point where the phone switched off by itself. It now seems to not do this, and I've now been caught out a couple of times by it switching off in the middle of me doing something. Any ideas why? This is the exact same device and I don't think I have changed any settings that should affect this.

That's not necessarily what you want though. If I put effort into developing something for the benefit of 'the community' as a whole, the last thing I want is some huge corporation taking it, modifying it and profiting from their modifications with those modifications being impossible to My general line of thinking is that if it's just a small simple thing which I just bodge together on a whim, it gets the modified 3-clause BSD license, which is quite similar to MIT. If it's something that required me some planning and which I plan to properly develop and improve into the future, it gets the GPL.

Mostly correct. The IDE having nothing to do with syntax isn't really true though, because the vast vast majority of them perform syntax highlighting and some have more advanced syntax-based features than that (e.g. identifying unused libraries that you've imported). So the IDE does need to know what syntax to expect to perform those functions in an effective manner.

If you have to ask this question, you probably don't need anything (you'd know if you did). So my answer is simple: save your money.

I imagine that kind of thing is implemented in software. Maybe try downloading a camera app which gives you more customisation. I've used this one before and it's pretty good. The Play Store incorrectly lists it as containing advertising, which it doesn't.

That would be quite difficult to implement because what counts as a modification? I'm assuming you wouldn't be too happy if I changed your indentation from tabs to spaces and then redistributed that as a "modified version" - but technically I've changed the source so you could argue it's modified.

I am not a legal expert. Please do not construe my posts as such. The most important question is whether you want people to be required to publish the source code to their modified versions? If so, GNU GPL. If not, something like the Apache License.

Not quite sure how the size of case they've used in the past has anything to do with a damaged pin in the CPU socket?

You realise that the Wi-Fi issues are probably to do with the motherboard not the CPU? It would help to know what motherboard you have, that way we can look up which kernels and drivers work best with it.

Yeah you're right. Honestly they're an excellent buy - well built, they sound good (to me at least) and the microphone, while not amazing, is perfectly decent for Discord gaming with friends or whatever. There was a time during the lockdowns when I was spending quite a few hours at once on calls, and nobody ever complained about my sound quality - and I'll admit I did run the mic over with the wheels on my desk chair at least once, which can't have done it good!

Here's one negative thing then (pretty much the only negative thing from my perspective). The USB sound adapter thingy that came with mine died after barely a year. I never bothered having it replaced under warranty as I had no real need for it, but in case anyone is looking specifically for a USB headset, they might not be the right choice.

Nothing wrong with that in principle - except that for me, they're cause pain in the ear. Other than that, I also don't really understand why anyone would want to ram a piece of plastic in their ear in the first place

It might do, depending on how fast the network is and what speed the adapter is certified for.

Depends what she does with it. Are we talking just answering emails and maybe the odd word document; graphic design; or anything in between?

Time for me to maybe post in this thread again i think. There was some reason I stopped but I forget why and there's many more pages now so I think it's moved on. I think that drawn-out non-musical introductions to music videos are stupid in the modern world (YouTube). Often if I just look up a music video it's because I want to hear the song. Not skip through 2 minutes of build up before the actual music starts. In a similar vein - there are too many songs where I can really get into them listening to the first minute or two, then the chorus comes in and the style is completely different - often made from a load of random electronic effects. It ruins a song for me.
