Seconded, it’s amazing for occasional reddit use when you don’t want your eyeballs seared by the normal interface!

Not to shill, but this is the primary reason why I’ve stayed with FIOS for the past few years. That and the fact that there are no contracts, it’s just a flat fee, forever. No promotion period or anything, either.

Being fined by Russia is actually a positive stamp of approval in my book!

We live in an interesting world in which HR uses AI to summarize a cover letter or resume that was written using the same AI

It’s all down to how good the prompt is (on both sides) to stand out

*insert Simpsons meme"

Say it again!

sigh 2024 is the year of the Linux desktop

What did you prefer? Lenovo?

It’s truly amazing…they must stand at the front of meetings and just ask “how do we make our passengers hate us most?”

Maybe I don’t understand the economics of this move, but are they really going to make that much more money from targeted ads? If it’s double the price, I assume it’s worth it, but if it’s a ~10% gain it’s just dumb.

The funny thing about this ad is that it’s already lodged deep in my brain and anytime someone says they have a headache I think about it

But act now and get AdamEatsAss Basic with 5 min unskippable ads for only $4.25

Stremio + Torrentio has changed my life recently!

Tons of tutorials online and it’s dead simple to set up. Takes ~ 5 mins

I have some family members that have HBO and Hulu that I borrow logins for, but I never visit the apps directly anymore, it’s just not worth it when you can get all the content all in one place with no hoops to jump through

How are you raising that kind of capital in this environment!? I can only dream of it!

And in the days before tracking cookies, doing that didn’t ruin all the ads you’ll ever see again

The pay-to-play heated seats always work, though!

But…but…muh “discovery”

It’s not, it just blocks others from tracking you, giving Google a stronger monopoly

I will never understand how the same people that made the Volt and the Bolt made the Hummer EV

It’s such a different style, architecture, and platform that you practically can’t share any parts. So whatever they learned from 10 years of selling EVs went out the window.

I’m so confused why they don’t sell the id4 as a sporty hatchback and call it the GEI or something. It’s the same platform, just tweak the suspension and add some more beefy motors, kinda like the whole idea behind the GTI

I used this as a pilot program in Pittsburgh when I lived there. It was a hand scanner running some sort of Android based OS but largely the same thing. You scan your store card to unlock a scanner, scan your stuff as you walk through the store putting things in bags, then you walk to a kiosk, pay, then walk out.

I used to get so many dirty looks from people who thought I was stealing a whole cart of groceries until they saw the receipt print out.

Doing it directly via an app would have been even better!

But using a real person cost the company more, in theory

Giant Eagle stores in Pittsburgh have self checkouts connected to a full size conveyor belt. Kinda like a normal cashier, but the belt is after the scanner kiosk, not before it. That way you could scan a ton of stuff and have it move out of the way on it’s own.

The rest of that company did dumb stuff, but the scanners were smart!
