It looks more like students to me.

It is obvious

Don’t let the TV on to your wifi and never agree to the terms, et voilà dumb TV.

exactly, a $100B public company can have new business units that are low revenue but are treated differently than VC funded seed startups with the same revenue.

Nordictrack does this with iFit as well. Can’t sync to Apple Health without a paid account. Syncing is somewhat janky too.

ha there is one way

It’s not the future.

I was recently complaining to a friend of mine about the stupid stuff going on at work. I’m a corporate executive, he is a factory plant manager.

After letting me vent he took out his phone and showed me pictures of tarps and buckets collecting rain water from the holes in the ceiling the company is too cheap to fix. These are safety issues that literally could hurt someone just doing their job.

It’s helpful to remind ourselves every once in a while that we are a privileged few right now and in the grand scheme of history and there are many who have or had it way way worse. It doesn’t mean we’re not miserable, stuck in our own stress or inequality doesn’t exist. It’s important to understand what makes you fulfilled in life but also getting a reality check every once in a while is helpful too.

Yeah I could see making him give the money back but jail seems like too much.

We are all reverse centaurs now.

I really like this conceptually. However, multiple elements feel like slop and that’s throwing warning signs to me. The Claude readme file and the tiktok-ish fast cut youtube video felt like Vince the Sham-wow guy put them together. Ironically it feels like the product of the problem we’re trying to avoid.

Hey!

Why does every headshot of someone in a VR headset make them look like a dope?

I’m against tipping in any scenario. I don’t think tipping for good service should be the norm. You don’t deserve a tip because you brought my food out correctly and timely, you don’t deserve a tip for delivering my appliances without damaging my walls, you don’t deserve a tip for ringing the register with a smile, all of that is what you’re supposed to do.

If the entire economic model hinges on the majority of people tipping variable amounts then the model seems broken. Charge proportionately more and don’t rely tips, everyone will have a better experience.

No. I’ve heard similar stories from baristas at small coffee shops. Any tips through the tap to pay systems get split between the processor, business owner and then the staff. This should be illegal. People should be ashamed

I had this issue with a US seller a few weeks ago and had to jump through hoops to chat with a human who could refund me after weeks of not shipping.

There were over a hundred other messages where people rated them 1 star and reported item not shipped. Amazon responded with a generic message and said it wasn’t the sellers fault.

They already run ads for Disney parks, Hulu, ESPN, and other Disney owned content in the Premium tier. They just call them promos or sponsorships in the prior agreement.

The new agreement allegedly introduces a third term “advertisements”.

> We’ve clarified that all Service Plans may include: (i) promotional content, (ii) sponsorships, and (iii) advertisements before/after playback of Content and in channels, live/as-live, special events, and any third-party services content.

I say allegedly because I haven’t received any communication from Disney yet but various reporting refers to email people in European markets have received.

You’ve got to wake up.

Now if they would only figure out how to Hide My Phone Number then these feature would actually impact privacy.

I had a similar experience logging in to FB to delete my account which was inactive for almost a decade. It’s legit was like the movie Idiocracy. Casino vibes, over stimulation, people saying stupid thing, trying to sift through lots of garbage to find the thing you’re looking for.

Why anyone still engages with these platforms is totally beyond me. They are bad for your soul, bad for the nation, bad for the world.

Right, the fact that the current administration had a 4 year hiatus only extended this period. Think about all the young people that grew up with this as normal.

I am one of the people that long for the old internet. I don’t long for it because there are too many normal people on it now.

The old internet was interesting, open, simple, un-gated, and relatively egalitarian with few corporate interests in commanding positions. The new internet is basically a predatory environment disguised as a library.

> And then there’s the travesty that is Tahoe.

Liquid Glass has no place on the desktop (or the phone really).

I migrated to Mac OS X from OpenBSD in like 2002 or so. MacOS has been a steady decline for many years, probably soon after the iPhone. Snow Leopard was probably the height of the MacOS experience. It’s been lots of little things along the way but I agree Tahoe is an inflection point.

It would be dull to write about all the great new building materials our houses are made and the utter lack of futuristic convenience we actually have.

sadly they are probably right

I love the concept, it would be great to see broader uptake of an open standard for this sort of space.

Didn’t they just raise $85B “for AI”?

But what’s the crime? The thing got out of its poorly secured cage and caused what damage? Imagine instead of an agent it was a dog or a chimpanzee that got into the neighbor’s yard and the particular neighbor isn’t even pissed about it.

But what do you honestly expect would happen? It’s “an accident” with no actual damages.
