  • Usually, if the mouse is infected or mutated in a given manner, its innards would need to be removed and studied, to determine what effects the mutation/infection had on them. This kills the mouse.

  • It was bound to happen. The model wasn't that reliable, and Amazon was basically paying so many people to double-check the model, they may as well have staffed the store the traditional way, with a self-checkout.

    Plus, in the eyes of much of the public, those people they hired to double-check the model were instead hired to act as traditional cashiers working remotely behind an impersonal, semi-friendly dystopian interface.

  • I'm reminded of back in the day, when people made similar promises of the personal computer back in the late 1900s. You could have the computer in your living-room, and it would check your stocks, write your letters, and do your shopping for you, without you having to lift a finger.

  • There's also an argument that if the business was that reliant on free things to start with, then it shouldn't be a business.

    No-one would bat their eyes if the CEO of a real estate company was sobbing that it's the end of the rental market, because the company is no longer allowed to get houses for free.

  • They'd basically already be doing that for the touch screen, and may well be using similar controls under the hood, where the physical buttons send a command to the computer to do a thing, in lieu of a mechanical connection.

  • Not just the search engines, but the websites themselves as well. Gaming the search engines is now an entire profitable industry, not just people putting links to their friends' websites at the bottom of their webpage, or making a webring.

    It's just been a race to the bottom. The search engines get worse, as do the websites, and the whole thing is exacerbated by people today being able to churn out entire websites by the hundreds. Anyone trying to do things without playing the game simply ends up buried under layers of rubbish.

  • I’ve received 3 Nicole messages since I’ve been on here, each one with a different photo. It’s weird, really weird. I ran the photos through TinEye and Google Reverse Image Search but I found no exact matches. The photos are blurry somewhat, which implies that they are shots taken from a video, which is a method catfish have used to evade detection. It’s also possible that the original photos have long been deleted (as far as I’m aware, this would contribute to evading detection) and the catfish is using this to their advantage.

    They could also be photos catfished from other people.

  • Zen, at least from the few times that I've tried it, also has some major issues that I personally find to be deal-breakers. Like forgetting tabs in a window that has just been closed. If you accidentally close a window that you're working, without quitting the browser, you lose everything in it. As someone who is prone to doing that when closing a tab, it's not ideal.

  • Its like the video showing firefighters struggling a lot to break the window of the Tesla pickup. That's not a praiseworthy thing. You want the windows to break easily enough you can get out in an emergency, or someone can break in to get you out.
