  • I remember shopping for a Bluetooth speaker and while I settled on a JBL one, I did consider the IKEA model that takes AAA’s but it wasn’t available to try nor buy - it would’ve been nice to be able to consider one that was externally powered but ah well.

  • Please not Siri, it ain’t smart but it does everything I want - the basics and reasonably easily.

    I remember Cortana fondly when it was a great blend of Siri and Google Now but naturally it and Windows Phone got left to rot, and made her useless on desktop Windows since they forfeited my pocket.

    I tolerated Google Assistant for a bit but ditched Android when Google pushed updates to remove the “okay Google with the screen off” feature from my Moto Z Play and gaslit the internet - stating it was never supported in closed support threads, the chipset didn’t support it and promoted it as a (then new) Pixel 1 feature. I figured Apple wouldn’t remove “Hey Siri” and so far several years in it’s still holding true.

  • Man, I remember buying a Linux Format(?) magazine once and breaking out the included 7.10 CD.

    Later distros I messed with I remember waiting hours for those few hundred MB to download on my parent’s DSL connection, oh how times have changed!

  • Got my iPhone 8 display replaced at a Ubreakifix and it came back with the Photos app open so not trusting them again.

    Aftermarket display couldn’t keep up with my typing speed either and kept dropping letters.

    Wish parts availability was better.

  • I’m worried that’s the endgame for say, Walmart+, I’ve seen a sprinkling of subscriber-only checkout lines and parking spots, I’ll keep an eye out to see how that dial turns in the coming years

  • I think it’s an “analysis paralysis” problem. I spent 20 minutes trying to figure out what instance to join while worrying about what was “right” (of course an incorrect question), what “fit” my inclinations/preferences, will it be around in X time, who are the mods, don’t want to centralize on just one instance, until I just bit the bullet.

    I’m reminded of how Job’s late-90’s mass simplification of the Apple product line made it easier for consumers to just pick something. (general or pro user? laptop or desktop? boom, done.)

  • It’s uncommon, I’ve heard it used every once in a blue moon like Barney Stinson (HIMYM) answering his phone and I haven’t seen a definitive answer other than indicating to the caller that he, Barney, is the one answering the phone.

  • Company decides to change the deal and terms of service to require nudes and accompanying driver's licenses photos every 21 days in this wild hypothetical

    Whirlybird: Why do people think they're entitled to use a private company's service nude-free while still paying? It's in the ToS!
