There are use cases for everything. Cheaper electricity during the night - schedule the dryer to sync with that. Disabled and can’t reach the AC or light controls easily? Do it through your phone.

The real problem IMO is that these are implemented poorly, insecurely* and often through closed ecosystems, remote servers and million apps.
If this was done well, users like you could ignore the features, and others could make use of them. When you can’t turn a fan on because your Fast Fans app logged you out, then I’d just rather not…

No, that would cost too much extra in manufacturing, and we’re all sitting for this anyway

Let’s be honest, you have to be extremely careless to have agents running destructive commands freely in prod

Very common in the UK too. Lunch is dinner, dinner is dinner, dinner is tea, tea is also a specific type of afternoon meal (scones and sandwiches).
Even then, people will just say something like ‘morning tea’ instead of breakfast.
It’s a linguistic war zone.

Same, but I’ve sidegraded to Pebble, which stores the data on my phone.

Looks like botched jaw implants.

And how that is used to make trees

That’s fair. I’m probably not thinking it through. I can certainly see how this could quickly go downhill. I think we’ll see the reality of it with today’s school generations getting jobs in a few decades.

That’s like people being worse at riding horses today. We don’t need the skill because we have tools that replaced it and generally do a better job.

My texts are rubbish because, somehow, the keyboard predictions & autocorrect are worse now than 5 years ago. We have LLMs barfing out fully coherent sentences on their own, how does this even happen.

AAA do not manufacture demand for storage, that’s frankly ridiculous.
This is a simple issue of optimization:
A: noone cares to optimise the size when performance is a much bigger issue.
B: games are still often optimised for HDDs on consoles (duplicated assets), then ported to PC with as little effort as possible

Absolutely nothing, plus 7zip can be faster with better compression.
Well, apparently it can do some recovery of corrupted .rar, but who uses that format anyway

‘We don’t serve your kind around here’
- the web server, probably

If you take it slow, the 3rd season starts airing next month :)
Definitely worth if you’ve liked the books, it really puts the size of things into perspective (visually)

In the old sense of the word, we don’t have an actual AI yet, but it’s true that LLM and AI have become interchangeable.

Didn’t they go through a lot of effort to not have to have many testers?
They have rolling releases and preview channels for regular users to bugtest for them.
All this money can now be spent where it matters - on a new yacht

Silo. Loved the books, the show is good too.

Postapocaliptic isolated society kind of thing with a mystery aspect, for those unaware. Lots of twists.
