“No sir, I mean when we started our German shower company I know we had a mission to make the world a cleaner place, but if all of our competitors are building gas chambers for the government should we really miss out on that? Don’t we have an obligation to our shareholders?”

Doesn’t China already have a killer dog prototype?

- Comment on Apple Vision Pro Owners Are Struggling to Figure Out What They Just Bought 8 months ago:
It would be ar glasses I’d think, not a headset with a strap. At least that would be my guess as to the end state.
- Comment on Apple Vision Pro Owners Are Struggling to Figure Out What They Just Bought 8 months ago:
It is inevitable to a degree. Obviously this is not the final form and I’m sure the goal is to make a more fashionable solution that fits into their phone/watch/airpods kind of edc strategy. But no doubt we’ll have a future where info is right there if we want it. This thing is the foray into developing that eventual product for Apple. To me it looks real dumb, but a sleeker version in the future that looks like glasses…well shit it might be nice to watch a show while washing dishes idk.

I bet Satya is gonna get a stern letter and have to promise not to do it again!
- Comment on YSK: If a problem you're experiencing doesn't show up in search results, could be a sign you're looking at the wrong issue 8 months ago:
A+ Cert in IT is fairly basic and isn’t all that useful besides a general overview of some aspects of the field. However, the most valuable portion of the cert is on troubleshooting methodology and that carries you through the rest of your career. It’s pretty common in a nutshell, try known fixes to previous issues first, then work from simple solutions (check power/cable connections, reboot, etc) to more complex solutions (reformat disk, clean wipe, etc).
The amount of times I’ve been on a million dollar salary engineering troubleshooting call and things like “checking that the credentials are working” get skipped in favor of looking for an issue in a newly written script is hilarious and happens far too frequently.
It’s not that simple solution are necessarily the most likely but that you can rule them out quickly.
It’s a skill like you say, just funny how that cert always comes to mind (it’s the entry level cert for IT for people not familiar).

- Comment on Spotify paid users hit 236M, but losing money, amid Apple battle 9 months ago:
I like apple better tbh. Some things I like more about Spotify but overall Apple keeps playlists fresher for me. Spotify plays the same stuff over and over.
- Comment on Mozilla’s new service tries to wipe your data off the web 9 months ago:
We need chain of custody data laws. If FB sells your data they’re responsible for keeping a chain of custody as to who they sold it to and requests for removal need to follow that chain down with regular audits and stiff fines for noncompliance.
- Comment on Apple employees outnumbered customers at Vision Pro launch in San Francisco's Union Square 9 months ago:
I speculate it is a test product to work towards ubiquitous ar glasses in the future. Basically to figure out the big problems, produce a few good apps, etc. before trying to make the true product.

Haha wow I had no idea, just was being a smart ass and got a fun fact out of it. Thanks for sharing!

What about toilet technology?
- Comment on The Cult of AI. How one writer's trip to an annual tech conference left him with a sinking feeling about the future 9 months ago:
I love the tech but have much the same feelings. AI maybe improve the world eventually, but I predict a painful future in the intervening time. I hope investors turn sooner than later to slow this train but we’ll see. Lot of big players betting the farm on AI, to the point where they’ll do everything to see it through.
- Comment on Google Search Really Has Gotten Worse, Researchers Find 9 months ago:
Lineage is cool. It’s an edge case though, and while relevant for folks on Lemmy, it is probably less than 1% of Android users and not really a selling point for the argument that Google is going in the right direction, no offense. I do love the project and ran it as my daily for several years, hope it gets more traction.

- Comment on Google Search Really Has Gotten Worse, Researchers Find 9 months ago:
It’s kind of shocking how bad it has gotten. I never thought SEO would win in the end, but they did and now Google is fairly useless. Like if AI doesn’t work out long-term what are they left with? A bunch of inferior products people don’t trust anymore or have better/comparable alternatives. GCP sucks compared to AWS and Azure, Android has more freedom than iOS but feels developmentally behind on most fronts in terms of end user experience. Google Search is now about even with Bing and otherwise privacy focused Search Engines have improved to the point of being viable for most cases. Gmail has let in more spam than ever and there’s a lot of alternatives now as well with bo meaningful improvements coming to it. Maps is still probably the market leader there, but more competition in this space too. Google harvests your data to an extreme amount and consumers are privacy aware than previous generations which adds to the distrust of a target demographic. Lastly Youtube is making the user experience worse with every update. While there is no real alternative right now given the overhead required, there is at least a desire for a good alternative should one ever come about.
Feels like Google is losing on every front and bet the farm that AI will save them. We’ll see I guess.

- Comment on Tesla Gets a $94 Billion Reality Check as EV Winter Sets In 9 months ago:
In addition it’s not a stable, safe choice anymore because of the volatility of leadership. Musk’s increasing erratic behavior does not inspire confidence that Tesla will continue to be the darling it once was.
- Comment on Breakthrough battery charges in minutes and lasts thousands of cycles 9 months ago:
Battery news is pretty world changing so I understand whybit gets the same kind of attention miracle health advancements get. Unfortunately the hardest part remains making a commercially viable product but that said even finding new techniques that may not make it to market still advance the field further and expand our understanding.
- Comment on OpenAI Quietly Deletes Ban on Using ChatGPT for “Military and Warfare” 9 months ago:
It’s not a nothing burger in the sense that this signals a distinct change at OpenAI’s new direction following the realignment of the board. Of course AI has been in military applications for a good while, that’s not news at all. I think the bigger message is that the supposed altruistic direction of OpenAI was either never a thing or never will be again.
- Comment on This startup is bringing a 'voice frequency absorber' to CES 2024 | TechCrunch 9 months ago:
Disagree, my role requires attendance and participation in business calls constantly, and it’s not a very unique role at a company. Being able to do so in public places or traveling would be useful often, depending on how cumbersome this is to wear.
Additionally I could see this being very useful with sales folks, essentially any role with talking as a main component.
Now in its initial form it may be unwieldy but future iterations, if it can be slimmed down and/or add additional capabilities there is for sure use cases. Even with the general public being able to call family/friends on your commute home would be useful I would think.

Yep. In fact I bought a second deck (OLED) instead of upgrading GPU’s. Prices are nuts, I’ll wait.
