New AI PR campaign just dropped.

I moved away from plex as well. I do have remote access but had to set up Tailscale on the accounts that access it. It’s a bit of a hassle initially but works well.

Robots will cull the poor people so therefore we will have abundance.

Wow. Glad they just converted to a for profit entity! Can’t wait for them to unleash all this success on to the the general financial market.

I’m glad Amazon just laid off 14k people. Our “AI” overlords are successfully running our tech stacks.

Hannibal directive taken right out of the Israeli playbook.

Qwen 2.5 coder. Running on LLM studio.

I installed it locally on my computer to help me with resolving some coding issues if I’m stuck, write cover letters for jobs, and help me organize ppt decks. No information is shared, I’m only using local computing resources, and I’m not propping up a failing business model.

This is cover for the fact that they have zero planning and over hired during covid. And now with the tariffs and impending economic downturn, they are nodding and winning that this is because of AI and not that the management teams are terrible at the things they are responsible for (forecasting and budgeting).

Yep I’m asleep without my Apple watch because the battery barely holds out a day and a half.

Instead of focusing on battery life, they focused on some dogshit hype product that no one uses and no body asked for.

People will die.

That is absolutely a core feature of Garmin not just a perk. The fact that Apple didn’t include it while doing explicit commercials for biking, running, and swimming was definitely to make it seem like it’s direct competition.

Comparing to Garmin where I get daily workout recommendations based on your sleep and recovery. From what I’ve seen the workouts are behind the paywall.

Most definitely.

It’s also likely driven down by non stop paywalling of features. Consumers like myself are just exhausted. I am only looking for non paywalls devices going forward and if those go away, then I’m going to be done with smart devices. I can’t keep paying hundreds to a thousand dollars for a device only to not be able to get the features of that device unless I keep throwing money at a company. I know they have costs to maintain software and add features but I can’t have perpetual costs on everything I buy.

Since everything is software based, virtually all of it is proprietary, and requires updates; I’m now bearish on any technology that relies on companies continuing to operate and update their software.

Everything is so shitty that even miraculous tech like this could break down when a company goes under or decides to stop making software updates on a whim. I don’t think I’ve read a single dystopian scifi book that imagined corporate control of every minor/major innovation with paywalls and subscriptions that ultimately lead to the enshittification of every facet of our lives. It feels so much worse than we could have imagined.

Just to add the difference. Managed solutions typically has the consulting firm managing the maintenance. In some cases, they take over an existing solution vs the consulting company building something.

We help them build solutions that they then maintain and own. I’m in analytics. So we’re doing data engineering, security, and delivery.
