  Do they have a history of lying? I follow their reporting, and have generally found them reliable.

      You really can’t make that kind of accusation without proof. Got any?

        > Google is your friend. I'm not a fan of The Verge, but this is extremely lazy. If you're going to accuse, the very least you can do is provide one link. You know that Google "bubbles" results, so your searches can lead to completely different information than someone else's, right?

        "Google is your friend" is an inaccurate statement, huh.. if you want proof that the earth is flat, it can provide you with links that you can selectively filter with your confirmation bias to believe that. If you think Covid is a hoax, you can use Google to find webpages to confirm this, but when Google/YouTube disallows Covid-disinformation videos, the average nutter will start screaming "Censorship!". So much for Google being their friend.

        I provided 2 direct links to 2 very bad Verge stories--one of which had since fallen under their paywall as I mentioned.

And the results here are exactly why I will never be an early adopter of a $700 AI gadget

  A $700 gadget that has significant offline functionality may still be ok. One that’s dependent on the company’s servers to operate? Almost no f’ing way.

    The reality is even if one released that operated fully independently within a few years they'll be bought up and you'll be forced into someone's online ecosystem until they inevitably ruin the product. Until the cycle of release something great so we can exit by selling to big tech is broken, great products are just going to be snuffed out by the giant competitors to be turned into over-monetized products.
