Popular mechanics is a terrible source. They post click bait trash like this on a consistent basis.

None. You didn’t save anything. You merely prolonged their suffering. Sicko.

- Comment on Leaker Who Apple Is Suing Says 'Screw It,' Here's the Foldable iPhone Early 6 days ago:
EU forced apple’s hand in implementing RCS
This isn’t even a little bit true.
If you need to claim this was external pressure, China was an actual driver of this but did not force this either.
The main reason is to get away from legacy sms/mms systems. Sending and receiving on the iPhone side is messy as a poor user experience for Apple’s users.
One small example is how SMS gets split at 160 and would often come out of order because of the limitations of sms.
The cell networks are moving to a pure data layer model. Sms don’t send over data, RCS does. Same reason everything it volte now.
Things currently fall back to sms, but expect it to be dead within a decade as future hardware cycles through (on the carrier side) and support is dropped in favor of streamlined protocols.

- Comment on Through gritted teeth, Apple and Google allow alternative app stores in Japan 1 week ago:
Phones were already restricted by what could be installed on them prior to smart devices entering the scene.
Given how powerful the hardware is, it should have eased up long ago. They’ve over played their hand and are still unable to acknowledge it.

This is historical revisionism. There was absolutely no such distinction at the height of alchemy.

The problem is the harvesting.
In previous incarnations of this process they used curated data because of hardware limitations.
Now that hardware has improved they found if they throw enough random data into it, these complex patterns emerge.
The complexity also has a lot of people believing it’s some form of emergent intelligence.
Research shows there is no emergent intelligence or they are incredibly brittle such as this one. Not to mention they end up spouting nonsense.
These things will remain toys until they get back to purposeful data inputs. But curation is expensive, harvesting is cheap.
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 2 weeks ago:
It’s not clear if skipping account setup also disables AI so I’m not sure if there is a Terms of Service that must be accepted.
Feels like something someone would at least attempt to sue Apple over for not disclosing upfront.
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 2 weeks ago:
This can be turned off after setup.
It’s stupid that this is the feature they decide to force considering using an Apple account during setup is still optional.

- Comment on It will trickle down any second now 3 weeks ago:
I doubt spacex is profitable. The ipo is so they raise cash. They probably burned it all up with the starship failures.
I’m sure on paper it will look profitable same as Tesla looks profitable from certain angles but is actually propped up by the ability to create more shares. He’ll do the same with spacex. Bleed it for his own gains.
I don’t think he actually cares about any of this tech. It’s the only explanation for how he keeps wasting first mover advantage.
- Comment on It will trickle down any second now 3 weeks ago:
only spacex is relatively successfull, but it’s not on the same level of half trillion dollars.
Not exactly sure what you’re trying to say here but spacex has tentative plans to ipo at a 1.5 trillion valuation.
Wallstreet is salivating over this because they know they get in first and will make bank when retail investor drive the price to ridiculous levels.

If this your best, I can see why you’re banned on Reddit. This is the one time where their algorithms are right.
You’re a toxic person and are completely oblivious to it.
You need to go move into mommy’s basement until you’ve learned how to play nice with others.

I’m just asking questions. You seem to be enjoying engaging with me while hating everything I say.
I am quite certain you have zero curiosity about me as an individual but I am asking because I am genuinely curious why you choose to engage. I do so with crass because I do not respect you.
I believe I understand why you are engaging with me here, you think yourself clever and smarter than anyone who doesn’t adhere to your ideology. Feel free to correct me. This is a general “tankies do be like that every time,” vibe.
So what are you getting out of this and why do you downvote and then respond with a question, that you then downvote? Are the downvotes because it’s the only power you have in an otherwise powerless life?
I am very certain there is no genuine curiosity because you are on an instance that enforce group think. Also because, tankie and feel free to correct me.
