• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LG and Samsung are adding Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant to their TVs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I should have bought a new tv like 5 years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do AI bros and other staunch AI defenders seem happy about the potential of killing off the creative industries?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this is the big contention point. In a world without a need for jobs, AI would be a neat alternative method of art generation, and a fascinating advancement of technology as a whole…

  but UBI is not yet real and jobs still need to be had. Without some form of life-securement for those who provided the art to be trained off of, we’re just using tech to really fuck people over. It’s definitely a moral grey area - very dark grey.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it that clasped hands tends to be the norm for praying? 🙏⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And actions/motions needed to be exaggerated to fully come across.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta is secretly building its own search engine.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is gonna be like the metaverse. It’s gonna get hyped up by all news sources like it’s the next big thing, but nobody will actually care or use it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google creating an AI agent to use your PC on your behalf, says report | Same PR nightmare as Windows Recall⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Only if we’re doing a new country too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows Recall is secretly installed on non-Copilot+PCs (Privacy Nightmare)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What version of Linux did you go with?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell Sales team told to return to office 5 days a week⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While that’s currently true, I’m extremely curious to see the trends after 10-20 years. Does it stay productive or do problems start cropping up. My current job is strongly requested to be in-person once per week, but otherwise WFH. The occasional in-office definitely helps new hires and such, and I would not be surprised if jobs start moving towards a “wfh except once per week (or two weeks)” ordeal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While probably true, this still probably gets him all wound up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump calls for prosecution of Google over search results he says favor Harris⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And if he wins the presidency, he’s going to try to use his power to make those fits matter. I seriously don’t see how people look at this man and think he’s a good option.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NIST proposes barring some of the most nonsensical password rules⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I usually invent answers to those and store those answers in a password manager. Essentially turns them into backup passwords that can be spoken over the phone if necessary.

  Where was I born? “Stallheim, EUSA, Mars” Name of first pet? “Groovy Tuesday”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube Premium is getting a huge price hike in over a dozen countries, sparking user backlash. Some countries are experiencing hikes between 30% and 50%⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  More and more I try to find my entertainment elsewhere. I am slowly, but surely, migrating away from youtube (and google in general).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s the most overhyped tech trend right now?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Both the love for Generative AI/LLM is overhyped, but so is the hate for it. They’re actually pretty good tools, they won’t save the world on their own in their current state.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes! I’m so sad they’ve moved away from this. I could pull out my phone AND unlock it in the same grab.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Now everyone will have an easy reference table at hand!"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I’m vaguely remembering something similar. I have these faint whispers of a memory of my teacher forgetting (or probably, “forgetting”) to cover something on the wall during a memorization test.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft’s controversial Windows Recall feature is coming back in October⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So based on the requirements, it sounds like a lot of PCs just can’t run recall anyways?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A surprising number of 'iPad Kids' are on X, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re at a pretty bad part where that type of sarcasm is, someone else’s legit stance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your TV set has become a digital billboard. And it’s only getting worse.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not looking forward to replacing my dumb tv when it finally dies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just wanted to take a moment to enjoy how clean the web can be⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is something I like to use ublock origin for. Like, blocking ads is nice, but I also love just clearing out clutter from websites.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a stupid question?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Once someone asked if Stephen and Stephen were pronounced the same. Presumably they meant “Steven” for one of those, but the question as written was dumb.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Steers Onto Train Tracks It Apparently Mistook for a Road, Police Warn⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Eventually a great idea, but that’s not rolling out particularly soon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Planning to propose in a few months, what should I look for in a good value engagement ring?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but a lot of people come to the agreement that they’ll get married without an official proposal date getting set.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Students’ Leaf Blower Suppressor To Hit Retail⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I get what you’re saying, but leaf blowers are also commonly used for cleaning up extra grass clippings from the roads, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk laid off the Tesla Supercharger team; now he’s rehiring them⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d go back if the pay bump was enough to cover anxiety about job uncertainty

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Republicans are pulling out all the stops to reverse EV adoption⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is electric pricey where you are? It’s been a while since I calculated, but last I checked, electric was cheaper in my area than gas for most of the electric vehicles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here’s How That Disney 360° Treadmill Works⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, every now and then kids have amazing ideas that get shot down by adults with no imagination.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gen Z mostly doesn't care if influencers are actual humans, new study shows⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It feels like a weird study. I can’t tell if the study, or just the article, was trying to make GenZ look like fools yet again, when the actual results found are “GenZ is like a lot of other people in yet another way”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gen Z mostly doesn't care if influencers are actual humans, new study shows⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I suspect a lot of the influencer numbers are pretty inflated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here’s How That Disney 360° Treadmill Works⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You came up with the idea of a multi-directional treadmill, or came up with the implementation using spinning/tilting disks?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here’s How That Disney 360° Treadmill Works⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t grind anything basically the same way a treadmill doesn’t sand anything. You’re not forcing anything to stay put on the surface, you’re maneuvering on the surface while the surface is counter-moving you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge mulls sanctions over Google’s “shocking” destruction of internal chats⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wager they’re so used to getting away with shit that destroying evidence probably says less about the crimes committed and more about the piss-poor justice system.
