If it isn’t my mother, wife, daughter or place of business I already have the number for in my contact list it goes to voicemail and is never listened to, period.
Everyone else of note already knows to send me a message on whatever app we already regularly talk on.
I can’t say AI hasn’t changed how I work, it has. Instead of going to Google, vendor docs, or the manpage for whatever code or system I am working on I will ask Claude or Gemini to take a stab at building the initial pass of the code or to look up what some cryptic error code means for me. Or even a better way to write some code that I think can be more concise.
The key I think is I never let it make the final decisions for me. The workflow is always look up information > shows it to me > ask for permission to do the thing > do the thing.
But none of that is “changing everything” in the way executives and the Sam Altman’s of the world want to profess. It is just a sometimes more efficient for me way of doing the same thing I was doing before.
A lot of people I have seen that crow about how they are using AI to change their work lives are just doing really fancy Github workflows and actions to automate something they used to still do manually for some reason. They rarely are doing anything that couldn’t be done with the time to research and test without AI.
As long as outlets like the Daily Beast keep talking about him and keeping his name out there he is getting what he wants. You want to hurt Trump, one of the best ways is to not pay any attention to him.
Outside of Facebook what has he been responsible for that didn’t blow up in his face? The only other things Meta has that aren’t thus far miserable failures are Instagram and Whatsapp, both of which they bought.
Jesus, show us on the doll where the bad man hurt you why don’t you. Can we not have a joke about anything benign these days without someone coming along to make it about the wrongs of society? And before you say it, yes, the things you mentioned were wrong.
Chill out, I wasn’t making a statement about race relations, intolerance, bigotry, or medical ignorance. It was just a joke about long phone cords.
You must be a miserable bastard to spend much time around if this is how to react to such things in real life as well.
Can we just ban them in general? We used to be a proper society and had our phones on the kitchen walls with 25ft cords.
Gonna need to know what they mean by “Linux” in this context. If it is Ubuntu/Fedora/etc that’s impressive, if it is SteamOS then while cool it is not nearly as impressive.
His party affiliation has nothing to do with it.Trump has always been a POS human being full stop.
Not once law enforcement tell you it is relevant to an ongoing investigation.
He would have had a lot better legal leg to stand on I think if he had just refused to give them any passcode. Now instead of a potential case of being forced to compel speech, he is facing what will be argued is an attempt to destroy evidence. His defense is probably a lot stronger with the former than the latter.
Who cares, he votes for the Republican talking points most of the time anyway. Grow a spine already and make it official.
What he wants is the party to cross the made up line he has drawn in the sand so he can switch affiliation “guilt free” and be able to say “ look they made me do it” when pressed about it.
Time to add LG to the list of computer display OEMs I will avoid like the plague on principle.
It is because the LG software is in one of the Windows Update channels.
Once Windows detects the LG display the OS pulls down the LG software and installs it like any other OS update.
Essentially they are abusing something Microsoft provides to better deploy legitimate feature and security updates for firmware to push out their data mining and malware packages.
Pre AI driven ram/nand increases: < $500 probably. Now, probably >= $1000.
“I can complain about Starlink raising their prices, but it’s the only genuine option we have,” former Nebraska state senator and Republican Julie Slama told the Washington Post last month. “Once they have rural customers on their service with no meaningful alternatives, they’re free to raise prices at will.”
Should we pull up the record and see who voted to allow that to happen in Nebraska while on the subject?
In my opinion if an elected official can’t respond to a request for physical proof of fitness for the job by those they supposedly represent then they should automatically be removed from office and elections for a fit replacement is called.
Bathroom water handling fee.
Hey, at least he went to the doctor and told the water industry rep what he was doing.
As shit as it is there is a every growing list of things you had better just be prepared to not interface with on your phone if you are going to run a Android phone without Play Services installed.
Flip side to that is once I switched my Pixel to GrapheneOS without having access to things that only work right with Play Services the phone became way less interesting outside of phone, text, casual web browsing, and photos. Which is probably a good thing.
