I use contactless payments on my pixel, that and banking apps in general keep me from trying it.
Sounds like it might work fine, that’s encouraging.
tap to pay isn’t more risky, might be less risky depending on how you use it. My understanding is that it uses a one-time number instead of your card information, not unlike using the chip and pin. I’m no expert tho, don’t quote me on that lol
There’s nothing left to buy. can’t Brain-Drain either, these are idiots
Could? Absolutely?
Will? …
What kind of emergency is more important than the lives of people that might be killed by a drunk driver’s mistake? And how is it impossible to find an alternative solution?
Leads to my favorite punchline/rebuttal combo “do you need the robot to fuck your wife for you too?”
I used to use Spotify but got sick of their recommendations. Vastly different genre playlists would still get top100 songs recommended. Sabrina Carpenter in all my playlists.
I moved to Pandora, their recommendation engine is way less biased. Fewer features in the app, tho
My new LG didn’t require it, but the settings menu and ‘home’ screen nag about lack of connectivity.
“Why did you buy a smart TV if you didn’t want the smart features” brother, it was the best tv in that price range and few true dumb ones exist in that range. IMO the smart features should be considered optional but I guess these companies don’t agree
Windows is only “easy” because you’re used to it. Coming to it fresh, windows 11 is such a shit show sometimes.
Minecraft works on Linux,
FFXIV works on Linux (it works on the steam deck which runs Linux, so it will work natively just like in windows),
Steam itself works on Linux just the same.
They’ve sold their XPS line with Ubuntu as an option for like 10 years. Maybe they stopped for some time, but it’s not new
Is the rest of the world as lobby -able as the US? Guess we’ll find out
you understand the context, and can implicitly understand the need to drive to the car wash’, but these glorified auto-complete machines will latch on to the “should I walk there” and the small distance quantity. It even seems to parrot words about not wanting to drive after having your car washed. There’s no ‘thinking’ about the whole thought, and apparently no logical linking of two separate ideas
You’re assuming AI “think” “logically”.
Well, maybe you aren’t, but the AI companies sure hope we do
As a supplement to doctors that sounds like a fantastic use of AI. Then it’s an encyclopedia you engage in conversation
Same, my 9 (us) does too. But I heard going forward they want to be eSIM only
could be a great idea if people could be trusted to correctly interpret things that are not in their scope of expertise. The parallel I’m thinking of is IT, where people will happily and repeatedly call a monitor “the computer”. Imagine telling the AI your heart hurts when it’s actually muscle spasms or indigestion.
The value in medical professionals is not just the raw knowledge but the practice of objective assessment or deduction of symptoms, in a way that I didn’t foresee a public-facing system being able to replicate
I really value the camera on my phone, since it is essentially my main camera and I enjoy taking pictures. I might rather lean into graphene-ing this pixel than a fair phone, unfortunately. But probably not purchase a future pixel, since they abandoned the physical SIM slot
I really like swappa for the ability to return the phone to the seller for refund.
In theory eBay also allows this, but since it’s a core feature of the swappa marketplace that it gives me comfort that the phone is listed in good faith and they haven’t misrepresented the phone.
I suggest it to anyone I know looking for a phone
I saw ‘FaaS’ and immediately thought Freedom as a Service, which is exactly the tagline such a service would have
Well if you limit your samples to people who “want” to drive these large trucks. There’s some room to make inroads in the Fleet vehicle market, not unlike the way delivery trucks from Amazon and USPS are going electric
