I'm assuming this is going to be more like a creator space type thing like patreon/OF. It will make reddit worse of course because patreon and OF already exist we don't need reddit for that but as long as they aren't trying to paywall user generated content on existing subs I don't really care that much tbh.
If they paywall my old comments that I've left up to help others I'm going to go back and delete them.
Chromecast naming scheme did get weird - it's difficult for someone who doesn't follow these things to know if they want the chromecast ultra or chromecast with google tv. I agree though they should have just called the new product something like "Chromecast Box 2025".
I always like the comparisons to how magical our world would seem to someone in an alternate reality where transistors or maybe even electricity wasn't a thing.
Like you can dumb it down to really magical sounding things like calling a cpu "runes etched in sand".
Yeah exactly, as a tool that doesn't need to be perfect to give you a starting point it's excellent. But companies sort of forgot the "as a tool" part and are just implementing ai outright in places it's not ready yet like drive-thru windows or voice only interface devices...it's not ready for that shit currently (if it ever truly will be).
Honestly they're still impressive and useful it's just the hype train overload and trying to implement them in areas they either don't fit or don't work well enough yet.
I really hope McDonalds and like-minded companies become a case study on why you shouldn't inflate prices for short term profit. It'd be great to see them hemorrhage customers and sales.
Having seen a lot of failed tv/monitors I'd say they fail easier since we went lcd. The polarizing films get vinegar syndrome, and the LED lens start popping off from aging adhesive at around 10 years.
Beyond that LEDs start failing because of excessive heat depending on the backlight settings in the same timeframe and when one or two have problems it usually cascades into full failure - or trips a check in the TVs software to turn off the backlight making the TV unusable anyway.
Newer TVs usually have even more complexity and will likely fail quicker IMO.
USDA says fish (and pretty much everything else) is "safe" indefinitely if properly frozen. Taste and texture are what the majority of timelines are about. That and your chances of accidentally messing up the freezing with a power outage or improperly shut door goes up over time.
White light has red in it. Cyan does not. We fatigue blue and green cones everywhere but the white can, and we only stimulate the red cones on the white can. The result is it looks red.
It's important to note how we got here. In old English man just meant human. Wereman meant male and wifman meant female. Over time that "were" prefix got dropped and man now means male but the ambiguous meaning of humankind stuck around. In fact "human" comes from old french "of man", again the non-gendered use of the word man.
The point is to fix all these problems we just have to bring back the "were". The progressive werewolves are way ahead of us on this issue.
