No, they can! They just first need to have a system prompt instructing them to generate and run a python script to do it.

Technology@lemmy.world•GrapheneOS says Google is making life harder for rival operating systems and devicesEnglish
71·7 days agoThe only thing worse than no security is a false sense of security. It’s better for someone to know they’re using an untrustworthy device than to find out the hard way.
If other phones can’t provide an acceptable baseline level of security, the GrapheneOS devs are correct to not support them. Yes, it sucks that the only phones supported are Google Pixels. They have a partnership with Motorola to create a non-Google alternative.
If you still don’t like it, fork it.

The compute part of Nvidia’s proprietary driver stack is fine. That is what they historically have been putting their resources and effort towards, since their big customers only care about compute.
The graphics part of the stack is where the problems are.
- Up until Wayland, they were bypassing the kernel’s standard GPU initialization path and using their X server implementation to do everything instead.
- As far as gaming goes, is is unable to utilize the graphics hardware as efficiently as on Windows. More time is spent stalling/blocking, as evidenced by lower power draw and performance.
- Their QA is awful. There was an issue with GTK 4 apps freezing when closed. They fixed it, and then the next driver release reintroduced it.
Their transparency and community involvement outside of the kernel mailing lists is also pretty poor. They read peoples’ bugs reports and feature requests on their forums, but they rarely acknowledge them or give status updates.

Outside of tech circles, the majority of people with PCs are not even aware that they are paying for Windows. Pre-built desktops have the cost of the license factored into the sale price. The average consumer just thinks they are buying “a computer” as though it is a single, cohesive unit.
