But we don't all use Facebook, Facebook found its niche of tech-illiterate people to abuse. The population is a wide demographic and it would be nice if companies didn't try to exploit parts of it.

A lot of channels got bought by private equity. YouTube is saturated with similar content so creators have to resort to clickbait to keep up. AI has allowed creators to increase their efficiency writing scripts. I don't know what you b

In this case it has nothing to do with AI > these are largely crypto mining rigs making this noise

In Europe you can take the train. Although for whatever reason it's priced similarly to airplane tickets but obviously has far longer travel times. A lot if not most airplane traffic is holiday related, and only a handful of rich peopl

Because you see a robot do one thing, doesn't mean it can do other things. We've had good robot demos for decades. For all we know they could've spent 5 years and 10 million dollars on getting this robot to fold laundry. That

It's not about boycotting or regulations. Just don't buy products you don't get to own, it's not that hard. I've never owned a Sony (other than a headset) or Apple product either. I am doing fine.

How about people just stop buying this crap instead? I've never owned a Samsung and I never will. People need to step out of this abusive relationship instead of trying to improve it. You will never be happy with a device you don'
