Yes LTE and the like. My car – for instance – is connected 24/7 to the cloud. I can control some functions remotely. The price is probably full tracking of me anf my family.

It’s not that bad if you add uBlock, Sponsorblock, DeArrow and NoYoutubeShorts.

- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 2 months ago:
Not 200 %. Maybe 5-10 %. You still have to read all of it to check for mistakes, which may sometimes take longer than if you would have just written it yourself (with a good autocomplete). The times it makes a mistake you have lost time by using it.
It’s even worse when it just doesn’t work. I cannot even describe how frustrating it is to wait for an auto complete that never comes. Erase the line, try again aaaand nothing. After a few tries you opt write the code manually instead, having wasted time just fiddling with buggy software.

I’d orefer a title to summarize the article so that I know whether it’s worth my time investment to actually read it at all. Now, I’m put if by the blayant cliff hanger at the end of the title.

The headline is omitting a vital part of the article, namely the “one ingredient”. You have to read the artivke to finish the title, which can be a definition of clickbait.

Yes I agree. I suspect they were tricked by some higher ups in EU to put the bill forwards as being a socialist idea, selling it to a wider crowd.

Weirdly, social democrat Ylva Johansson proposed the first chat control bill.

I don’t think it’s fair to blame the right in this case.

I think this game is not for you then.Harfd games are hard so that you can feelproufd of yourself after completing something hardet than you though you could. You may not complete the story but if you “git gud” you may actually enjoy it more.
Some games are not meant to be relaxing. Why would you even play a hard game if you want something easy?
I’m very provoced by this. Sorry.
