I would prefer the hypervisor. It’s cleaner to separate things that weren’t meant to mix in the first place.
Make sure that your gaming VM uses a real harddrive/SSD instead of virtual disk to prevent sluggish I/O.

Will they ever realise that every one would be better off if they made legally owning and consuming media easy and steamlined instead of spending billions on lobbying and propaganda?

Honestly, idk. Anysoft Keyboard and Firefox integrated seamlessly, so I never really checked on system level.
Settings says there is no app set up, but if I tap it, it is listed as the only choice?

I (rather seldom) use FUTO Voice for STT and SherpaTSS for TSS.

There were more than one system proven to “cheat” through biased training materials. One model used to tell duck and chicken apart because it was trained with pictures of ducks in the water and chicken on a sandy ground, if I remember correctly.
Since multiple multiple image recognition systems are in development, I can’t imagine they’re all this faulty.

I’m fully aware that those are different machine learning models but instead of focussing on LLMs with only limited use for mankind, advancing on Image Recognition models would have been much better.

AI models can outmatch most oncologists and radiologists in recognition of early tumor stages in MRI and CT scans.
Further developing this strength could lead to earlier diagnosis with less-invasive methods saving not only countless live and prolonging the remaining quality life time for the individual but also save a shit ton of money.

He is taking a time out with a friend in an involuntary hotel room.

Even at this price point isn’t it more economic and sustainable to emulate a RISC-V device with already owned hardware. Especially since it’s so low powered.

Remember the Cars movies? That’s the dystopia leading to a man made world inhabited by sentient Cars /s

You can always try out some premade blocking lists as someone who knows way better than both of us has probably already encountered the same problem.
You can also try to use wildcards with your blocking list as some ad and tracking companies add random alphanumeric characters to their URLs to circumvent blocking.

For optics only:
Use uBlock Origin, choose the object picker and remove the banner.

For real blocking: Use uBlock Origin and block the Google domains as suggested in another answer.
