There’s a good episode a few months back where the CEO of Logitech tries to justify the mouse subscription.

He’s also one of the hosts of the Vergecast https://pca.st/podcast/5cda9490-4117-012e-1622-00163e1b201c

I did get an email from HIBP so at the very least they got my email

I’ve got one on the way Best Buy screwed up the pre-order and didn’t get enough stock in so I’m left waiting. But yea seems like by all accounts it’s roughly the size of a regular phone plus you get a small tablet when you want.

Just don’t connect it to the internet and it’s a dumb display, simple as that

It’s about to be a lot more with the chrome manifest update. I got my dad into chrome some 15 years ago and explaining why he should switch to Firefox is completely confusing for him. He thinks his own business listing on Google won’t work if he’s not using Chrome.

That all comes up in the article. The core idea the author is getting at is the general ease of fabricated situations is coming in a new way that previously hasn’t been a couple clicks for the average user. Think less about political turmoil (propaganda has existed as long as there as been politics) and more about how your Karen aunt can add a worm to their Google review for spaghetti. Most people won’t learn Photoshop, most people can click a few buttons.

I think it’s still important to consider the tomorrow we’re being thrust into even if we could do this on a smaller scale yesterday.

I just want queue management back again 😭

This doesn’t really matter anyways, he started his own social network, he doesn’t really want to participate in the social networks he can’t control

Really though, who burns Blu rays. Yes I’m sure there’s a handful of people out there doing it but I don’t know anyone who’s still burning discs in 2024. Storage space is large and cheap now and way less hassle than discs. Companies as big as Sony can’t keep producing products for a tiny market it just doesn’t make sense.

I wish I lost one of those $100 bitcoins in there

I only run TempleOS

That typewriter sound effect for every key you hit was so satisfying

Yea I see this as a net positive. They mention concert venues. This is the perfect use case, I remember so many times struggling to get a bus after a big show because they’re packed. This could relieve that. It could increase frequency of pickups on existing routes, it’ll cut down on single passenger Ubers.

My bet, fully automated with localized maintenance workers who can travel around and perform repairs to fix the trucks stuck in their areas.

Yea I definitely fall into the 20 pages or less a month category. Hell I probably fall into the 20 pages or less a year category. But I’d never add a subscription for something I can just buy out.

According to Air Canada, Moffatt never should have trusted the chatbot and the airline should not be liable for the chatbot’s misleading information because Air Canada essentially argued that “the chatbot is a separate legal entity that is responsible for its own actions,” a court order said.

That’s some business class horse shit right there, glad they got taken to task over this

This always bugs me about the “it runs Doom” posts. 90% of the time it’s just a unique display hooked up to a regular computer where the computer is the thing running Doom or they made some simple raycast game with Doom assets (like all the calculator ones) or they just jammed a raspberry pi in something.

I’m sure this display will show Cyberpunk 2077 if they piped the display in properly. Doesn’t mean e.coli are running a 4080.

Of course you can’t see it, if it’s in their back pocket they’re going to be sitting on it. Is the photographer supposed to get up their ass to get the battery pack in frame. If you uncropped the photo you would just see more of their bodies and that’s completely unnecessary for something you wear on your face. Don’t get me wrong I think everything about the Vision Pro is nonsense but this article is some clickbatey horse-shit.

Holy hell guys, did you all just read the headline and run to the comment section?

• enabled by default means you can see the feature and interact with it if you choose to do so

• when you interact with it, it explains it needs to send this file to OpenAI. Of course it does, that’s how it knows what you’re asking of it. You are prompted to choose to use this feature

• if you choose not to interact with it, nothing has changed, nothing has been sent anywhere

• if you really don’t want to look at it anymore you can turn it off, which is nice. A lot of companies drop stuff like this and you’re stuck with it whether you like it or not
