brie , to technology in Gmail is also getting emoji reactions

They already had preset email replies, if I recall correctly; this seems like a natural extension to that. It sounds like they’re just sending special reply emails, which hopefully is easy for other email clients to parse.

Honytawk , to technology in A food delivery robot's footage led to a criminal conviction in LA - Serve Robotics handed footage over to the LAPD after two people attempted to steal one of its bots

Is this the start of the robot uprising?

Kolanaki , to news in Uber, Grubhub and DoorDash must pay NYC delivery workers an $18 minimum wage
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

To those who live there: How does $18/hour in NYC compare to $20/hour in California (for the fast food thing recently passed here)? Is that a living wage there?

Rekhyt ,

Not a resident of either but it’s worth mentioning that this is NYC not NY state and California probably has suburban and rural areas that are much, much cheaper cost of living than NYC.

Artaca ,

Household income for me and my wife was around $150k and we got priced out of the city. A lot of Dashers take late night trains deep deep outside of the city, or they live with half a dozen other Dashers on alternating schedules, sharing beds.

Sigmatank , to moviesandtv in Netflix mails its final DVDs to subscribers

It’ll be exciting to see who steps in and provides this service to in the void being left… Surly Netflix won’t try and stop somebody coming in and running a boutique service for those still interested in this…

Also I’ve now learned that gamefly both still exists and has a DVD by mail service

Hey I heard that Blockbuster brought their website back up

andyortlieb , to technology in The US electrical grid is in desperate need of upgrades, watchdog warns

I’ve had 2 multiple day power outages in the Milwaukee area, and 4 or 5 shorter ones over the past few years. It literally never used to happen.

piecat ,

Local outages are a lot different than grid failure. But yeah local power lines are probably needing an update too.

PhlubbaDubba , to technology in Scientists confirm that the first black hole ever imaged is actually spinning

This is a confirmation that was needed to accurately calculate the size of the black holes right?

JoMomma , to technology in Scientists confirm that the first black hole ever imaged is actually spinning

Is there any reason to have ever believed that they didn’t spin?

Not really. But it’s always good to get confirmation of our theories. And it’s usually even more exiting to find an error in a well established theory.

And then you’ve got to consider that at least mathematically a black whole doesn’t have any volume, so what could actually spin in something that’s infinitely small? This more or less confirms that this is bullshit.

It’s actually Goku gathering energy for a spirit bomb

Magzmak , to technology in Valve fails to get out of paying its EU geo-blocking fine

I agree but I’ll check it out in a little once more bugs get ironed out.

ABCDE ,

Which bugs?

teddyxfire ,

Geo-blocking bugs, duuuuuh

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Sometimes I wonder if these out of context messages are bugs in a lemmy app, user error, or bot.

It probably happens a lot on reddit too, but they get 10x as much comments so it gets buried

TimewornTraveler , to technology in The US electrical grid is in desperate need of upgrades, watchdog warns

ya think? you know there are countries where blackouts are a rare thing, not a routine occurrence…

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

34 years old, I’ve been without power a cumulative of maybe 3 days total my entire life. That includes being hit by many hurricanes including Michael which was a CAT5. You might be exaggerating a bit.

TimewornTraveler ,

oh great, the only guy in America is here, thanks

mctoasterson , to technology in Nothing's budget-friendly brand CMF debuts a $69 smartwatch and $49 earbuds

Anyone have any suggestions for a relatively inexpensive smart watch that can be used with GadgetBridge? I don’t need many features besides push notifications, maybe an alarm etc.

AngryDemonoid ,

I use an Amazfit GTR 2e, and it works almost perfectly with gadgetbridge. The only difficulty I have is i’m unable to manually update A-GPS data, so getting a GPS lock can take a while. But I don’t use it a lot, and honestly, the Fitbit Versa I came from wasn’t all that much better.

communication ,

PineTime checks these boxes for under $30. The caveat being that it’s an open source project without fancy features. Also, the heart rate monitor doesn’t work well on my skin, but it works for some people.

I love my PineTime, but I stopped using it because I wanted sleep tracking.

That is a crazy price tag. You could buy multiple better scooters for that price. They won’t look as sleek but they’ll be way more functional.

hoshikarakitaridia , to technology in Reddit details how their Contributor Program will promote engagement

Is he trying to “buy back” engagement he lost? Is it about user retention?

I really don’t get the move…

FrostyCaveman , to technology in Reddit details how their Contributor Program will promote engagement

It’s shark jumping time…

Can’t affect me since i don’t use Reddit no mo
