I feel the same way - summarizing unnecessarily long email chains or slack threads at work? Works for me. Summarizing messages from my friends and loved ones? Feels dehumanizing.

This article barely touched on Big Tech, and ChatGPT was not developed by Big Tech. You have a problem with late-stage capitalism, not Big Tech.

Electric Razors do not give a close shave at all, they're better than Electric trimmers, but definitely closer to trimmers than disposable or safety razors. That's also why they're more convenient and safer - because they don

Microsoft Teams' status is so unreliable that even the worst managers I've met don't seem to use it. I kinda like how unreliable it is, makes it easy to make excuses when you're actually AFK when you weren't suppose

To be fair to you, that sentence was very awkwardly phrased. Considering that’s a 13 year gap, they should really be 2 separate sentences.

It’s probably in your TODO list, but would appreciate non-US PIN codes at some point! (Or at least Canada)

I can see you’re getting downvoted but I 100% agree. StackExchange is so, so bad at this - they will close a question because there’s like a 75% overlap with a different question.

The only choice you have is a monitor, if the screen size you were looking for isn’t too big.

Yeah, I live in SF but it defaulted to Los Angeles for me. Same Time Zone, of course.

This is an unnecessarily toxic question. But to answer your question - I don't think YouTube will add ads to current-day YouTube Premium. The amount of money YouTube makes by me paying the $7/m is much more than the money they mak

I recently moved to SF and my building does not have laundry, so I used the nearby laundromat. Day one, was attacked by a homeless guy who essentially wanted me to leave the laundromat so he could sleep (the laundromat was unstaffed, and th

Gurgaon had basically the same AQI as Delhi, if not worse on same days. Doesn't really answer their question.

by MisterSandman 3y ago
They mention that this is a side effect of the USD account number change they made recently. Which was also really stupid. I used to use Wise a smh direct deposit for my salary since I’m in the middle of moving countries, but this whole sit

If NearlyFreeSpeech.net needs to make $1 of profit to be sustainable, they would just charge $1.50 for their product, and I highly doubt there is anyone who can afford $1 but not $1.50

The wait times for US Tourist Visas for Indians is 1-2 years right now. I have a friend who applied 3 months and her interview date is in January 2025. I mean, I'm not saying you shouldn't complain about this, but I find it funny

To clarify, this is speculation, neither the articles nor the companies have said anything of this sort. RedHat have moved their conferences to Florida, so I highly doubt cost is a big reason. Florida itself is much cheaper, but a decent ch

Meta cancelled altogether, so that is probably just a cost-saving measure (Meta isn't doing too well rn). RedHat moved their conferences to other states in the US, but still plan on holding future conferences in SF. Which, to me, also

Jesus christ, we're talking about a 200MB app with text-based communication. The cost of living crisis is real but to pretend that people need to limit their internet usage to save money is ridiculous. I live in Canada which has some o
