  • It definitely is useful, I use it for train tickets, or user QR codes for things such as IKEA, supermarkets, gas stations... It's quite literally a virtual wallet where you have all your "cards", but they are QRs.

    This way, for example, you don't have to install every single app to get the QR code that identifies you in every market. You just paste them into this wallet and you are good to go!

    NFC payments require a transaction platform and these things are only possible with banks or huge, "trusted" companies like Google/Apple.

    Although things might start changing in Europe (for now) with GNU Taler.

  • Once you find out we've had fuzzy finders for 40 years your mind is going to be blown.

    I am not saying AI is not useful. It will be an amazing use case to sprinkle some AI into fuzzyfinders, but don't let it have everything that has ever been played on screen... Passwords, private windows, one-time messages... You must be very young if you don't see the problems with that.

    There is a reason why we have password protected folders and files, or how we keep some stuff locked online, or how we use private browser windows. And you want to feed all that to an AI.

  • Yes! "Recents" works fine and doesn't even need to record everything you've done and consume AI resources!

    For asking about papers and so... You can do that with an AI crawler on your files!! No need to store a screenshot of everything you've ever done!

    The deliverable thing, again, it can be done by directly looking up your files.

    But no, somehow they went full spy instead. Companies will love to put this feature in their employee's computers.

    Wanna fire someone? Let's see if they used their computer once for an unrelated-to-work task...

    Now if someone gains access to your computer they'll get everything that you didn't think you even had! So great!!

  • Hi! I know many Apple users, and 100% of them bought it because "bro, it's Apple". It's basically the "im not poor" message that the Apple logo gives. They don't care about anything else aside that it's Apple and it plays CandyCrush.

  • I am curious why you'd think that is a good idea. I find it absolutely useless, as anything that I'd like stored... We can already easily store. But recording EVERYTHING that happens in my computer??? What kind of data hoarding obsession is this?

    That is a small vulnerability away of being the biggest mistake of your life, IMO.
