  • In the long run there is no way around it. To be honest if on device voices would be good enough then just sending the text version and let it read on the device in a somewhat natural voice would be kind of cool. I’m already using a special app which just reads any article I share with it in a fairly ok voice and I love this functionality, I don’t need to sit down and read a long article on my phone, I can do something else and just make it read the article to me.

    What I am worried about though are the people who do the research and who write the texts. Those sadly will also be replaced over time with machines and there is something we will really lose.

    Nvidia and Linux don’t play well. Also if you are able to add a little bit more I bought a new Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 14" with a AMD Ryzen processor and without Windows but instead there was FreeDOS preinstalled for $440.

    I just installed linux on it and everything worked perfectly for 3 years now, I’m very happy with it. It’s not the most powerful, so I can’t edit videos on it, but I can play Minecraft, I can program, use the browser with all Microsoft 350 stuff and so on without any problems.

    Many many years ago I switched from OS X back to Linux and had to find alternatives: https://jeena.net/why-i-switchedfrom-osx-to-linux

    For the three software you point as a must have there are alternatives, even those you’d not think of:

    • Visual Studio - Stop writing .NET web applications, there are so many other web frameworks around you don’t really need .NET
    • Notepad++ - It’s a steep learning curve but Vim and Emacs give you all and more freedom than Notepad++
    • Excel - You can use the 365 version in the browser, that is what I do at work
    • OneDrive works through the browser again, but there are alternatives like Nextcloud, Syncthing, Seafile
