LG G7 ThinkQ: Ropey AI, but a feast for sore eyes and ears

It's a piece of glass with a moving picture under it. You have learned some gestures, movements and tappity-taps that mostly get it to do what you want. It is pretty too.

Get over it :)

Oh, and it does phone things too

It walks, it talks, it falls over a bit. Windows 10 is three years old

It's a piece of glass with a possibly moving picture underneath it. You have learned a few gestures, movements, tappity-taps that make it do (hopefully) the things you want it to do. And it looks 'pretty' too (to you at least).

Get over it.

I was once asked, in all seriousness, if the assembler compiler I was using was 'properly security certified'. I pointed out that the machine is question was a fancy UART 'chip' and the complier in question only output binary encoded bytes and we had provided the source code as well as a CRC of the ROM/Output contents to prevent any changes from that.

They never got back to me.

Re: What does it run?

What is really need is an abstract virtual OS that runs on BOTH Linux and core Windows (not the messaging bit/UI), then the question about 'which is best' becomes moot.

There is no doubt that an OS that is based on FrameStreams rather than Streams (in which size of frame is a valid operator) and means that the OS then more clearly represents the base hardware, with interrupts, disk sectors, HTTP packets. etc.

But I am but dreaming it seems...
