  • Yeah, apparently the subscription for the mouse would be on top of the upfront cost. I'm honestly baffled that Logitech's CEO thinks anyone would buy it, this feels like an april fools joke

  • This is so absurd. The only updates peripherals need are firmware bug fixes. And it's a standard that these updates are free. Having subscriptions for hardware is kinda dystopic tbh

    From the podcast:

    Some only have a mouse or only a keyboard, but many of them have both. But the thing that shocked me was that the average spend on that globally is $26, which is really so low. This is stuff you use every day, that sits on your desk every day, that you look at every day. That’s like the price of four coffees at Starbucks or less than a Nike running shirt. There is so much room to create more value in that space as we make people more productive — to extend human potential.

    You know why on average people spend so little? Because a mouse is just a mouse. It doesn't need to do anything besides controlling the cursor. It doesn't need a "dedicated AI button that launches Logi AI Prompt Builder" (which is just a ChatGPT wrapper btw)

    I don't want to be that one person that just complains about capitalism under every post, but things like this make it hard. We have already perfected the design of a mouse. But every year publicly traded companies need to make more money than in the previous year, so let's add subscriptions to everything. And also AI, because investors love it

  • TIL about aphantasia

    Anyways, I'm between 1 - 2, and I just wanted to say that just bc I can visualize things in my head doesn't mean I don't enjoy seeing things with my eyes. If I was good at drawing, I definitely would draw my OCs and such

    But no, I don't watch adult videos. I just don't really like nsfw. Maybe I'm asexual or smt, idk

  • FINALLY someone gets this. I don't care about the "premium look" whatever that means, I just don't want my phone to break when I accidentally drop it. Which is why I always put a case on my phone

    In fact, I'm pretty sure phone manufacturers started putting glass on the back of phones specifically to make them less durable so that customers buy a new phone sooner

  • Meanwhile my school still uses Chrome v109 since that was the last version that supported Windows 8

  • Every time I need to look up what an HTTP code means I check this website

  • I've read the article and damn, this is disturbing af. Isn't this pig killing method basically the same as what nazi used on humans?

    ...I'll try to reduce the amount of meat in my diet

  • I'm pretty sure the requirements are so high because (at least for now) the AI that will process the screenshots and search queries will run locally

  • Yeah it won't be in regular PCs anytime soon, since this feature apparently requires

    1. 256 GB of SSD
    2. 16 GB of RAM
    3. An "NPU" which AFAIK most computers don't have
    4. Windows 11

    But the point is that they market Recall as this great new premium feature when it's actually very dystopic. Even if you trust Microsoft that it's gonna be entirely local (which I don't), there are lots of other things that could go wrong. Like Recall having your passwords/private conversations/stuff under NDAs in it's database, bugs that could potentially leak the data, malware whose purpose is to exploit it to get access to everything you do on your computer, or a government forcing Microsoft to add a backdoor edit: damn I've read this like 10 times before replying and just realized that you did say that the Recall feature sucks

  • green circle - me

    orange triangle - kinda

    blue square - I wish

    black rhombus - sometimes

  • I prefer tabs because they aren't consistent

    I personally find 2-space indented code harder to read than 4-space. If I'm working on someone else's codebase which is indented with 2-spaces then I have to cope. But if it's tab-indented then I can just edit the setting in my editor to display a tab char as 4 whitespace chars

  • If god exists then he is a disappointment to me. Bro "loves us" and all of that, but he won't do anything when

    • people are dying in wars
    • companies are exploiting people for profit, especially in developing countries
    • north korea exists
    • his "followers" are spreading hate against [insert minority here] in his name
    • etc., you get the point
  • esc :q!

  • From the ROM website's footer:

    A custom ROM based on AOSP, which offers a minimal UI enhancement & close to stock pixel Android ROM with great "Performance", "Security" and "Stability".

    I see now why they "quoted" stability :P

    Oh, and just using ADB is enough to trigger the code to wipe the data. But that's fine according to the developer because "its just a format data, not like your phone gets destroyed"

    What makes this even funnier is that on their website they say that the ROM is great and all (with very poor grammar and odd phrasing), but they don't say what they actually changed. The closest thing I could find was their screenshot gallery where they show some new icons and AI-generated wallpapers

    Also corporate memphis art everywhere because why not lol

    I feel sorry for anyone who was using this ROM, but this whole thing is hilarious

  • I heard that he also moved the CDN for user-uploaded videos to xvideos.com
