The one with the lightning connector that none of their new devices have and there’s a million 3rd party options for old phones?

Gee what a surprise they don’t want to make them anymore!!! /s

Don’t over think it, call is the Augmented Reality Sunlight Absorption Headset with AI.

I know their article is bogus, but I could see some one trying claiming this…

“Omg this peanut butter didn’t say it contained peanut butter, so I thought it was safe for little Billy. Now he’s dead and its all their fault for not labeling the peanut butter properly”

the 3rd road; Be awkward by making random noises.

Linux … you guys make money spying?

Probably 10 minutes, but by that point they had to double down for the shareholders and as long as everyone copied, they were good.

As someone who needs GPS a lot for work, having it on the large display is very nice. I think the sweet spot is around 7 inches; big enough for maps, but leave enough space for everything else.

The best is when they display the “next step” right on the dash. Too bad my work vehicle doesn’t do that.

Happens to me all the time too, I’ll open it via the notification and it just won’t show up.

Or I’ll delete an email about 5 time until its finally gone.

So they are replacing windows mail with Microsoft outlook, which was replaced by windows mail years ago (well not really 100% true, its fun to think of it that way)

Although, to be fair, maintaining two mail clients is pretty stupid.

If they can stop pushing all the separate half baked “new”/"beta/“work” versions of mail and teams, and just update them so everyone’s on the same garbage apps, that would be great.

That lawsuit could hold up in court, and I wouldn’t be mad. Fuck MS

I remember trying to convince a book sub that “two weeks” is not enough time to stop putting everything behind a spoiler tag/spoiler free titles.

Their argument “don’t come here and you won’t be spoiled”

Meanwhile, Reddit is like hey you want to read this random post from a sub you unsubscribed from last month when the new book came out? its called “thoughts on Wally-Woo’s death”

Steve and the team are on fire this year!

The potential for misue is too great.

Security cams are not available to anyone - only the bar staff has (hopefully limited) access to the video. While everything is recorded, unless something happens you can be confident the video will end up deleted.

There’s a difference from being watched by some creep through the window and being watched by a dozen creeps wanking off to you in a basment.

Remote software repairs are definatly good, pretty cool and worth bragging about. If you have to do a physical repair, you’re probably better off just sending a new probe [citation needed], but as I said the time investment is huge.

It is a legitimate question, however the way it was asked has a negative vibe, intentional or not. You pretty much gave a good option and bad option and said “pick one” - generally when that’s asked, we assume the asker assumes the negative is true (it’s hard to explain). To me, it could be interpreted as “just curious, I assume this probe is only taking pretty pictures, so why do you bother repairing it?”.

Personally, I’ve been trying to avoid jumping to those types of conclusions, but its not easy. Text has no tone, and phrases sometimes have a secondary tonal meanings that people will insert. “Just curious…was it you that didn’t refill the coffee machine this morning?”

Yes the data is valuable for research. You and I may not understand any of it, but its useful to someone. As for repairing from a distance, that thing has been traveling for 46 years and gone far. For reference, it passed Neptune back in 1989.

It would take many years for a new probe to reach those distances, so if it can be repaired, it shall.

Hypothetically, lets say it only takes 30 years for a new probe with updated tech to reach where Voyager 2 is now. If V2 died today, thats half of someone’s career spent waiting for the new probe to arrive. Multiply that by everyone using the probe for research and you have a ton of wasted potential.

The way I see it, if they’re too young to have scocial media, they’re too young to be on scocial media.

It’s real odd when you consider how society is now okay with parents posting pictures of our children openly for the world to see. Yet when the kids start sharing pictures of them selves to friends it’s super dangerous for them.

The sad part is now private photos are at risk with all the cloud minning and “AI” crap. The idea that no matter how much I lock down my privacy, simply sending a picture of my kid to their grandma, who will save it to her auto-cloud phone gallary, is still going to feed that picture to the collective is sickening.

From what I saw,

MS Recall is a 24/7 AI monitor system that captures everything you look at and saves it for later. They didn’t even do the bare minimum for protecting the data, it was just dumped in an unencytped folder where anyone get wholesale access to the data. All trust has been lost.

Apple is using AI as a tool to improve specific tasks/features that a user invokes. Things like assistant queries and the new calculator. They have said some promising things in regards to privacy, specificly with the use of ChatGPT - any inquiry sent to ChatGPT will ask the user permission first and obscure their IP. This shows they care enough to try, they have not lost our trust - but we remain skeptical.

Welp, I guess my ipad is finnaly losing support. Let’s see what I’ll be missing in the next few updates:

checks notes over the last 7 years

Pretty much nothing that affects me.

The iPad is in such an odd space; it has the body of a Lamborghini, the engine of a racecar and the interior of a 2001 used car.

Seems like you’re some kind of purest…go back to the Alpha versions? Which, they actually make really easy.

Personally I like features that provide a new purpose and build off of existing systems. Horse armor is a a natural progression for protecting your horse. Its mirrors the player armor system with materials (leather to diamond). Wolf armor breaks the mold, it could mimic player/horse armor in mechanics and material progression, but instead it comes from armodillo scales with seemingly no way to upgrade. They even copied the ability to dye the armor - they probably copy pasted the code for leather and made a new redundant item.
