  • I have an irrigation valve that turns the water on and off for the garden. It talks to the app via Bluetooth, and I've found that my phone has to be at least 3m away from it or it won't connect. Any closer and the signal must overload it to the point where it can't interpret it. The first one I bought, I took back to the store and swapped it for another before I figured out what the problem was.

    I'm sure it's a bad design on the valve's Bluetooth implementation, but nevertheless, it exists.

  • The difference for me is that my phone is sitting in a holder stuck to the windscreen and looking at it means I'm only slightly looking away from the road, so I will still see movement in my peripheral vision.

    By contrast, a large touchscreen in the middle of the dash necessarily means taking my eyes entirely off the road and probably also adjusting to the brightness of the display.

    Neither are great, but one is worse than the other

  • So you're saying the people who write and tweak the prompts to create the output they envisaged don't deserve to be called artists?

    In my mind, AI just lowers the barrier required for people to be able to express what's in their mind

  • For every else (like me) who had never heard the term 'gig economy' before:

    A gig economy is a free market system in which temporary positions are common and organizations hire independent workers for short-term commitments. The term "gig" is a slang word for a job that lasts a specified period of time. Traditionally, the term was used by musicians to define a performance engagement.
