How do you go from an article about spyware on PHONES to recommend a LAPTOP? They are not the same thing. Do you carry this laptop in your pocket to receive phone calls and whatsapp your contacts?

Interestingly, the same mentioned article from Android Police sells it as a "privacy win". I've tried to read it as a positive spin, and I seriously don't understand what these guys have been smoking.

Hi guys!

Just that...Wondering if there's any easy FOSS photogrammetry software that I could run from the phone. Alternatively, what would be the easiest one to run from my computer to experiment with it?

Thanks!

They can fight resist and delay. But they are doing literally nothing. They could have blocked the budget. But they said "nah, it would harm the people blocking it". So yeah they're doing nothing to stop them.

Democrats still got almost half the votes in the entire country and they aren't doing any efforts to represent their interests.

I mean, I can live without for the brief period where we'll be needing our AIs to run remotely. It would be within months probably that we'll have some free GPT4All implementation (or similar) running on a phone. There's already whisperAI running locally at decent speeds on a phone for STT, and there's SherpaTTS running Kaldi TTS also with pretty realistic results...all fully local, all available in f-Droid. I don't think there's anything stopping your phone from running a lower distilled model locally, if your RAM allows it.

Some apps can detect they have not been installed through the play store and will refuse to work. My banking app pulls this bullshit, among others.

But then... It's just Google.

Thanks... I had no idea this existed. I can now connect to the work remote desktop software with a single window perfectly integrated. This is incredibly helpful. Moreover I can now say I'm using Winapps in order to run Windows App. I guess now they can rename the remote desktop app again to Winapp to go full circle. Or maybe Winamp, just to confuse people. Or just App, to make it impossible to ever troubleshoot.

EDIT: At any rate, this works really beautifully. It's a bit of a PITA to set up if you're having the VM via virt-manager but hell if it's not as smooth as native.
