The online requirements are unnerving to me. I feel like Microsoft wants my personal files. I don’t think it’s to outright steal or scam, but there is something in everyone’s data they want. Maybe AI training. Anyway I’m not giving it up willingly.

dan1101 ,

Yeah it’s the old garbage in, garbage out problem, the AI algorithms don’t really understand what they are outputting.

I think at this point voice recognition and text generation AI would be more useful as something like a phone assistant. You could tell it complex things like “Mute my phone for the next 2 hours” or “Notify me if I receive an email from John Smith.” Those sort of things could be easily done by AI algorithms that A) Understand your voice and B) Are programmed to know all the features of the OS. Hopefully with a known dataset like a phone OS there shouldn’t be hallucination problems, the AI could just act as an OS concierge.

They should also remove the letters T, W, I, E, and R just so no trace of Twitter remains.

Two downsides are that they take healthcare resources to be treated for their own stupidity, and if they have kids I feel sorry for the kids.

I didn’t buy it, but I was at Cooter’s Garage near Luray VA this spring and on the wall was a big cool detailed map with a bunch of motorcycle routes and bars, restaurants, and attractions to see all over WV, VA, and OH. I asked if they had it for sale and the lady said, no, but there was a little smaller version available with the brochures. So I got a folded-up one that’s still neat.

That is the best thing that could happen to Tesla right now.

And check out Merlin Bird ID, it will recognize bids songs and tell you what sort of bird made them.

dan1101 ,

Sunny and 80F (26C) with low humidity.

I know, these corporations got rich selling software but it’s not enough any more. Even with more users than ever.

dan1101 ,

A Star Wars game that is a mix of Minecraft, Elite Dangerous, and X4. Elite Dangerous flight model and galaxy. X4 fleet management and modability. Minecraft type planets but with buildable vehicles. And a dynamic event, economy, and faction system. A big galaxy size sandbox with 4X elements.

And since the Trump fans are talking about election fraud they will probably try to vote early and vote often.

Don't you all get tired of the constant negativity?

Despite not subscribing to political communities and having a large number of content filters based on keywords, my feed here is still for a large part all negative articles and ragebait. Elon Musk this and Israel that. Microsoft ruining windows, AI ruining internet, right wingers and capitalism ruining the world, police being...

dan1101 ,

We need to be informed, and unfortunately a lot of things like orange man and Gaza are depressing. But I try to just get the important details and not dwell on things that I can’t change.

There are a lot of people writing articles and a whole lot more people commenting, but that doesn’t mean I need to read even 1% of it.

dan1101 ,

Well that’s not good, if Republicans are accusing others of interfering with the election then that means Republicans are thinking of doing that thenselves.

dan1101 ,

The Progressives have a plan, Republicans around me used to talk about how Hillary was going to implement it. Putting left agenda in schools and such. That must be why Republicans are against public education.

dan1101 ,

I hear it’s not so much of a revolution as continuing the current administration.

dan1101 ,

If nothing else these CA inmates are going to be judged negatively in the South for where they are from. A bad idea from the start sounds like they are going from bad to worse.

dan1101 ,

Conservatives talk about fiscal responsibility but then lower taxes and greatly increase spending for things they want.

dan1101 ,

Steam Deck is over 2 years old now and still works great. If Valve wanted to release a new version I’m sure it would compare favorably to this new chip.

dan1101 ,

It’s always something with AT&T. They always seem to have the worst service around here too.

dan1101 ,

They sure do, but Verizon seems to have the best actual cell service, at least around here.

Same sort of thing as Comcast, they are a horrible corporation but the actual service is good.

dan1101 ,

Am I free to go? I’d like a lawyer.

dan1101 ,

For Google Maps, what about a dedicated phone for just running Maps? It would only get internet from hotspot on your real phone.

dan1101 ,

Never considered something like that. Shame it’s only for GrapheneOS, which apparently only runs on Google Pixel phones.

dan1101 ,

I bought one new car, it was neat but not that much better than a 3-5 year old used car with ~40,000 miles for half the price.

dan1101 ,

Always be bringing in ever-increasing amounts of revenue.

dan1101 ,

He’s gonna get Mexico back on that wall for real this time.

dan1101 ,

For some reason I don’t think I even knew Intel made motherboards.

dan1101 ,

That makes supermax somewhat appealing. Mixed messages.

dan1101 ,

Sure, just depends on the business. Self-employed and small business are often much more flexible. I pretty much work 9:30 to 4:30.

I subscribed to Game Pass for a year or so. It was a good value but it got to the point where there were just too many games and not enough time to play them. I kept subscribing for the $1 per month trick, but once that ended I canceled.

When Manor Lords came out in early access I found a good deal for a month of Game Pass, that just expired.

dan1101 ,

It’s almost like cars and crowded beaches don’t mix.

dan1101 ,

Or like so many other businesses, they don’t have anyone looking at the postings and just accept whatever until someone objects.

Power companies say it’s too expensive to bury power lines but they will fix the overhead lines over and over.

Are there any EV cars without any "technology"?

Like the title says, are there any EVs that just have a Bluetooth radio and that’s it? Like a normal car, not a smartphone on wheels? If not, do you all think that this will actually happen at some point? This is the main reason why I can’t (and will never) buy an EV. I like to have actual buttons everywhere on my car. I...

dan1101 ,

Not that I know of. Let smaller automakers make EVs and we might get something like that.

But with the federal government mandating that all cars must have automatic braking after a certain date in the future I guess we’re never going to get away from tons of sensors and computers in cars.

dan1101 ,

Yes to add to that some cable companies were literally writing the state laws.

dan1101 ,

This is the sort of thing where the EU would get some cooperation from the Biden administration, but none from a Trump administration.

dan1101 ,

A good shower head with better pressure and spray pattern. The one I got was Oxygenics, hopefully they are still good.

dan1101 ,

I’m not so sure Walmart sells guns any more. They don’t in my area and I live in a very gun friendly area. They just seem to sell air rifles and hunting accessories.

dan1101 ,

Google Search had ONE JOB and that is to show web links.

dan1101 ,

That used to scare the crap out of me when I had the volume up and wasn’t expecting a message!

dan1101 ,

Same, I think my number would have been low because IIRC I was using ICQ with Trumpet Winsock on Windows 3.1.

dan1101 ,

It’s a love affair. Mainly Jesus and my poop.

dan1101 ,

My friend drives a big rig and every time someone cuts him off there is an annoying alarm.

Rust in the water might suggest manmade metal was responsible for the rust.
