“Start”

Reverendender , to technology in Google will start showing AI-powered search results to users who didn't opt in

No they won’t, because I don’t use their shady as fuck services

BigMikeInAustin ,

Well, you aren’t a Google search user, so you won’t get it. The headline addressed that.

Hasn’t a version of this existed like since at least 2015?

Yeah

Exclusive to the American market I presume /s

No, the chair’s weight limit is 242 pounds. That’s not enough for the might of our bodacious temples.

mildbeard , to technology in Honda built a powered chair to zoom around theme parks while wearing an AR headset.

There’s no good reason to walk while wearing an AR headset. You might get exercise. If you bump into someone, you might get hurt.

It’s so much better to ride around wearing an AR headset instead. If someone bumps into you, you have the opportunity to draw blood. And you just got a great deal on liability insurance! Also, there’s no chance it will run out of power and you’ll have to push or carry it back to the car.

So I say go for it!

They use their own TPUs instead of NVIDIA AFAIK but yeah.

sramder , to news in Uber shuts down alcohol delivery service Drizly three years after its purchase
@sramder@lemmy.world avatar

People that alread get drunk at home uninterested in paying more for booze. Who could have ever predicted this?

DragonTypeWyvern ,

I don’t think that’s as big of a problem as you’re acting like. For example, people who are already drunk or at least too drunk to drive are a great market to exploit with a delivery app. Hell, you can even tell yourself it’s a public service to keep them off the road, right?

To me the bigger problems seem like legal liabilities from being so obviously easy to abuse by minors and the fact that no one seems to have heard of them.

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

and the fact that no one seems to have heard of them.

this is it right here. Also, there’s a case to be made for large parties running out of booze. (poor neighbors.) but the reality is those circumstances just don’t make sense to build a business around. especially considering many liquor stores are getting in on the act.

AnneBonny ,

You get carded for alcohol deliveries. It’s not any less secure than buying alcohol at a grocery store.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Other than delivery services not doing background checks on drivers?

But it’s still a fair point, as “contractors” the company could probably argue they don’t have any blame for failure to check to IDs.

Dran_Arcana ,

In my experience, it’s not a “show ID to the guy and he says okay” it’s “the guy is obligated to scan your ID into the doordash/Uber app to verify age”. They can’t opt to not check without getting dinged pretty heavily by Uber/doordash.

AnneBonny ,

Other than delivery services not doing background checks on drivers?

Are you worried that minors will be delivering alcohol for these companies or having the company deliver the alcohol to them?

Slagathor , to technology in Inside the 'arms race' between YouTube and ad blockers / Against all odds, open source hackers keep outfoxing one of the wealthiest companies.

Serious question: what is the best add blocker right now? I’ve been using ublock origin, but it doesn’t seem to be working that well these days.

sunbytes ,

Apparently you need to clear the plugin’s cache semi-regularly.

As sometimes it won’t update itself as fast.

Slagathor ,

That makes sense. Thanks for the advice!

lilsolar , (edited )
@lilsolar@sh.itjust.works avatar

ublock origin by far. Just refresh the filter list every now and then.

Mathmango ,

To be absolutely sure no one gets this wrong - uBlock Origin is what you want. Not just uBlock.

antizero99 ,

Add no-script to the mix and you are golden. On mobile I use adguard to filter ads from pretty much every single app and website. As soon as I can figure out a couple of things bothering me with FF mobile I’ll be moving over to it with extensions.

AceSLS ,

To be even absolutelier sure no one gets this wrong - use uBlock Origin on Firefox (or one of it’s forked versions) because every other Browser runs chromium under it’s hood which heavily restricts ad blocking abilities

Amends1782 ,

Pls consider editing and making it unlock origin. They are different and someone who won’t know better will get the wrong one :)

lilsolar ,
@lilsolar@sh.itjust.works avatar

Done. Thanks for lmk

raptir ,

uBlock-Origin on Firefox.

Amends1782 ,

I apologize for my strongopinion but I believe yours is misguided or similar. Ublock origin is objectively the best ad blocker , they are an extremely talented team, dedicated and have been for a long long time.

The enemy is getting stronger, not the defense not working well.

:)

Slagathor ,

Thanks!

Amends1782 ,

Hell yeah brother
