Finally a massive flaw that apple can’t lie about or hide from the public, like they usually do. What is sad is they’re already about 3-4 years behind Android in releasing a foldable device and they still somehow fucked it up

I don’t even trust my webcam when I’m not using it, I unplug it immediately after every use. Any opportunity these fuckers have to steal info for the datasets they have on you, they will.

Time to figure out how to start hacking those thing.

Honestly, I hope AI continues to improve and does actually wipe out large swaths of the job market. Maybe then countries will finally have to come to terms with the idea that capitalism is absolute fucking shit and finally consider some sort of UBI or other way to move away from the existing garbage of a global economic system.

What I don’t look forward to is the significant months/years these fucks take to make those decisions, and the pain and suffering it will cause to billions of people. Why do these assholes always have to be dragged into the future kicking and screaming?

“The beatings will continue until morale improves”

The entire concept of EA releasing a new 2K sports game every year is absolutely asinine. The fact that people shell out money for that bullshit is even more ridiculous. There are usually little to no changes from one game to the next outside of simple roster updates, which is something that could easily be done with a game update or they could have setup a subscription service to autoupdate rosters. EA is a shit company that creates shit games and it enshitifies every games it gets the rights to.

I saw my first Tesla this week with the “I bought this before Elon went nuts” bumper sticker. I don’t give a fuck when you bought that garbage, its a fucking dangerous piece of shit and shouldn’t be on the roads with real cars. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for EVs taking over the market, just as long as they aren’t teslas.

It could be possible that the remote operators take control in complex crowded situations like side streets with cars parked on both sides of the streets and 2-way traffic having to share a single lane. But you’re probably right, what I’m interpreting as aggressive driving could just be the programming doing odd things because it gets confused.

I thought I remember reading somewhere that Waymos aren’t automated at all and are really just being driven remotely by people in the Philippines.

Found the Article: https://www.techspot.com/news/111233-waymo-admits-autopilot-often-guys-philippines.html

They claim they are just there to intervene in emergencies, but the aggressive way I’ve seen those fucking things drive on surface streets around my place, I don’t doubt they’re driving them 100% of the time.

IIRC, when Meta bought out iRobot, it slipped out that they were using Roombas to collect the square footage and entire layout of your house to add to your data sets. So this doesn’t seem surprising at all. Good thing I configure my own router and firewall.

I learned during COVID about planting diverse local wildflowers to help with pollination in my small little garden I used to have. I ended up dedicating like an 8x6 planter just for wildflowers every year. Always had tons of bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies. I honestly never realized how many species of bees there were. The first year I did it I tripled my veggie yield, never looked back.

To be fair, VGA had 2 big ass screws on each side to hold the connection in. If you tightened them all the way down, the VGA connector was essentially part of the fucking machine at that point.

What the fuck are these people using AI for that makes them do this stupid shit?

This has been their standard business practice for over a decade. There are already tons of apps and browser plugins that track prices on amazon items and list the lowest/highest they’ve been listed at.

I worked in IT for 25 years and this was true for a large majority of calls I got over the years. I called it the IT intimidation rule. LOL

But Dixon wrote, rather cryptically, that remaining employees will put “more emphasis on our social channels as we accelerate our discussion with partners to take our content to where it will be viewed most broadly.”

In other words, the in depth reporting and niche shows aren’t making enough money, so we’re going to dump all that shit and jump on the reality TV bandwagon.

Found the Apple marketing person.

Kinda like the fucking TV screens they have on gas pumps for the sole fucking purpose of shoving ads down the throat of captive audiences.

Yes but image copyright is fickle thing, because at what point does it become not a copyrighted image? I have to reference the “Ship of Theseus” thought experiment, because it does sort of apply here. A fictional character cannot be drawn from a first hand perspective, so some sort of copyrighted image HAS to be used as a reference. So where does one draw the line?
