Unless your base argument is “Microsoft users are all stupid”, then I remind you that this is not only default behavior, but is mandatory if your account is associated with an EmtraID account (i.e. any business or school)

Your feelings and opinions are affecting our bottom line. Obviously it’s you that’s the problem here.

I’m sorry, what’s market research again? That sounds old-school and not involving AI.

Good thing /c/technology@lemmy.world subscribers isn’t exclusively populated by those users!

Finding a group of people who don’t care about a thing is generally like shooting fish in a barrel. Caring is fundamentally hard.

I appreciate the thought but which would you choose:

Full time minimum wage US worker at $7¼/hr or $15,080/yr vs $20,000 one time purchase?

I agree with you that these things are likely underpaid labor (maybe including literal slavery, or job conditions close enough to count anyways), but I don’t think your argument is going to be convincing to anyone actually considering getting one.

Much the same as blockchain - it could have been exciting and fun, but it was immediately put to work to exploit people, and in the end that’s what the tools effectively were.

The whole value in searching is to get me to primary sources in a reasonably efficient way. Everything about AI is inserting extra middle men. I just don’t understand how anyone tolerates it.

My hypothesis is that the freezer motor has to be right at the freezing point and the tray has to have few nucleation points such that when a small spek of water freezes the phase change disperses enough heat to prevent them from immediately following suit, the small flake of ice then rises to the surface. As it continues to cool, further freezing is more likely to occur in the existing crystal. Through a combination of ice’s buoyancy and the surface tension of liquid water, the crystal gets pushed upward compared to liquid water.

I wonder if the fridge motor’s vibration plays any role on where the fingers form (due to resonance patterns).

I don’t need the tool giving me its opinion. I usually use alternativeto.net to find more open alternatives, but if someone has tried open source and is looking for proprietary solutions, doesn’t hurt me to see all options presented reasonably fairly.

Or when they start using the drones as truancy officers as a cost cutting measure …

Or some situation arises where innocent students are the target

Crime by statistical association

Yeah; I just chalk it up to the fact that humans for thousands of years have been obsessed with sex and poop on a level more basic than language - it’s not as surprising then to think our language is riddled with allusions to it.

I’ll setup a JellAIfin server immediately. It’s just the regular Jellyfin code, but I am compiling my own version - it has “AI” added as a comment to every line of code before I compiled.

Because the tech industry hasn’t had a real hit of it’s favorite poison “private equity” in too long.

The industry has played the same playbook since at least 2006. Likely before, but that’s when I personally stated seeing it. My take is that they got addicted to the dotcom bubble and decided they can and should recreate the magic evey 3-5 years or so.

This time it’s AI, last it was crypto, and we’ve had web 2.0, 3.0, and a few others I’m likely missing.

But yeah, it’s sold like a panacea every time, when really it’s revolutionary for like a handful of tasks.

Yes! We’ve gotten them up to 94℅ wrong at the behest of insurance agencies.

Right? Like half of what I want from these things is when is the battery low? When is the outbox full? When is the feeder empty? And metrics to verify the device is generally operating safely.

Controlling the device? We’ve known how to do that for 50+ years. Help me maintain the device.

That … tracks

Unironically Orwellian

Have you met the French? There’s a bunch of English sex words brought in from French! Most notably is ménage à trois, for a threesome. The smoking a cigarette after sex cliché is pretty French too.

Or just agree with what your betters want you to think, obviously. </s>
