Is it me only who thinks OpenROUTER is a terrible name? I was thinking of a Network Router.

I have small hands (for a man) and I have no problems with one-hand use of my OPPO Find X9.

Well, seems that AI vibecoding is working it's magic!

You are missing the protein.

Well, if you consider that is much cheaper to eat trash than healthy, and that food companies' only interest is in maximizing profit, you have what we have.

I doubt Larry Elison thinks he is doing good in the world. Same for everyone else. Maybe the exceptions are Elon and Bill.

How can this be? I have been told all of my life that the market regulates itself and that is good for the consumer. So why don't we have bigger bars instead of smaller ones?

Was thinking the same.

It might be more expensive to build/run, but is cheaper on the environment.

Upvoted because you are right.

Sad. Wish there was a huge library of human generated content they can look at.

What the world needs. Less competition.

> human rights and all that rubbish Crazy that you think human rights are rubbish. It clearly paints where china and its population is headed.

I mean, XBOX has been doing replaceable batteries in joysticks since forever.

I have both a PS5 and an XBOX Series X. Whenever I am playing if I get out of battery on the XBOX, I just change them. In the PS5 is not possible.

I don't get what the advantage is.

Thanks AI!

There are artist in 3rd world countries that make that in a month.

You don't know why I went to the place, yet, you still comment instead of asking. An no, my review was not removed.

I sadly did the same as I didn't know best. The Google speakers started to have issues identifying the orders, so we bought some alexas, which we also use as speakers for our tvs.

Do you have a better recommendation of a smart speaker that can play spotify, youtube music, or tidal?

I liked GTK and WIn11.

That is in practice not true. If you leave a fake but glowing 5-star review, no business will challenge it. But if you leave a 1, 2, 3, or even 4-star review, suddenly you're asked to provide proof. Of course, they can legally challenge a 5-star review as well. But in reality they conveniently don't seem to care about those.

Anyway, Germany is probably one of the few places where this happens. The issue isn't necessarily that reviews can be challenged. The issue is that users aren't informed when they leave a review that they may later be required to provide proof of their visit.

I once left a negative review of a very popular touristy business in Germany after a genuinely terrible experience. I included photos and detailed information, yet they still challenged the review, claiming I had never been a customer. Google then required me to provide additional evidence to prove that I had actually visited the place.

What made it even more frustrating is that they challenged the review two years in a row. After the second challenge, I wrote to them that if they continued contesting the review, I would consider it harassment and pursue legal action. After that, they stopped.

What I find pretty shady is that most businesses seem to wait a year or two before contesting reviews. By that point, most people no longer have receipts, invoices, or other documentation. If they challenged reviews immediately, customers would be much more likely to still have that evidence available. In my case, I take photos frequently, so Google accepted my proof and kept the review online.

Ironically, after going through this process myself, I've come to believe that some form of verification should probably be standard worldwide. Requiring reviewers to provide evidence that they were actually customers could help reduce fake reviews. But if that's going to be the standard, it should be clearly communicated upfront, before people submit their reviews.

Another related issue I have with Google Maps is that, at least in my home country, some places have reviews disabled because Google considers them too prone to polarization or controversy. Schools are one example.

Personally, I think that's a terrible idea. I'd rather be able to read the reviews and make up my own mind. Instead, Google, in its infinite wisdom, decides that certain topics are too contentious for users to see feedback at all.

I find that to be one of the worst decisions made by the Google Maps team. Hiding reviews doesn't eliminate disagreement or bias, it just removes information that users could otherwise evaluate for themselves.

Before Meta aquisition, I paid 1 dollar per year for WhatsApp. Now it iwl be 35.88.

> The first is our duty to the global poor. There is a real possibility that AI will displace human labor at very large scale. If that happens, supporting those displaced will be a moral imperative of historic proportions.

We already have poors that are really suffering, and the "elite" (or oligarchs depending on your point of view) have done very little to help them.

Why should we trust them they will do anything for us if we are all displaced by AI?

Targeting kids is good. But what about adults?

VISA an MasterCard have Credit Cards. Pix is just a way to transfer money you have in your bank account. In europe we can do that with IBAN. It goes from one account to another. In Argentina we have something similar in all banks. What is unike from VISA and MasteCard, at least untill now, is the Credit part of it.

"AI-native pods: We’ll be concentrating around AI-native talent who can manage fleets of agents to drive outsized impact. We’ll also be experimenting with reduced pod sizes, including “one person teams” with engineers, designers, and product managers all in one role."

Terrifying.

Yeah, as a former dev turned into PdM, if you need to do a tour, your are doing the UX wrong.

Never had a problem like you describe.

Porkbum or Gandi or name.com

> Lee is one of the most competent IT guys I know.

And yet he uses GoDaddy?

I never understood the appeal of instagram over Flicker.
