AI is already being used to help detect cancers and other illnesses. The medical innovations aren’t as attention grabbing unfortunately. Can’t say I’m much of a fan of other AI uses myself either.

Using AI in this way I think is generally fine. I draw the line at using it, as well as any other effects, to recreate an actor’s face who has passed away.

I actually bought a Huawei Matebook in February 2019 (2018 model) from the Microsoft store for just over $1300. You know, the MacBook ripoff one? It was just a few months before they were banned. Honestly, that thing is still a solid laptop.

Okay battery life, really good specs, super light, amazing display. Unfortunately heats up a lot and throttles under load, but not terrible. I mainly got it for music production with Ableton Live 10, and still use it for that. Gaming is meh but can play some games at modest settings. Good for Photoshop and Premiere. Great for basic computer use. It even barely had any bloatware installed. I suppose there could be some backdoor for spying as is often rumored, but it’s really not something I am that concerned about.

I guess it’s a shame they got banned. I feel like there’s nothing else in the PC market like it. These days it seems like I’m better off buying a MacBook Pro given my hobbies.

I see you with your memes, good sir
