About a decade ago, the industry shifted from slow, carefully evaluated infrequent updates (except for security) to frequent, almost daily updates that are mandatory. I'd say this was pioneered by the Chromium team and proved to be ben

While I completely agree, I think we've seen enough to realize that something as powerful as what OpenAI is developing shouldn't be freely released to the public. Not as a product, nor as source code. Dangerous and powerful things

Your mentality of expecting everything to be free is why there are no alternatives, and also why Google Reader shut down. Building and maintaining these services isn't free, so when people don't want to pay for it there's no

I was aware of the white background results, hence my other example query. Both yielded the same result. 7/25 = 0.28 = 28%. That's awful accuracy. Google would be out of business if their general search accuracy had a similar succ

In addition to my comment about Google Image Search, regular Web Search results are equally biased and censored. There was once a race-related topic trending on X/Twitter that I wanted to read more about to figure out why it was trendi

It has been known for a few years now that Google Image Search has been just as inaccurately biased with clear hard-coded intervention (unless it's using a similarly flawed AI model?) to the point where it is flat out censorship. For e

Draft mode usually entails both lower quality for speed and less ink/toner usage. But you don't need to sacrifice both. Try going into the Admin settings of the printer - usually via the admin web interface of the device - and loo

I should probably clarify that I meant "known" by average consumers you'd see in a retail shopping mall, most of which at that point in their life have never owned or possibly even used a PC.

Reminds me of when the PCs on display at Sears, CompUSA, etc. would have their demo software running which didn't let you do the one thing you should do when buying a PC.. actually use it. So I used to CTRL+ALT+DEL and kill the demo so

The worst was when Google was turning a blind eye to advertisers putting entire TV episodes and music videos in ads. It was infuriating to have something playing in the other room only to realize what should've been a 2 minute ad break

You do realize that most of the service workers in major cities can't even afford to live in the neighborhoods that they work in right? They often have to commute from other cities or parts of the city which aren't at all close. P

Well don't forget that was Apple's original intention with Lightning, including getting a commission on every cable sold. Remember when iOS would give a warning about "unsupported accessories" every time you plugged the

Well at the time, there was something to celebrate for a new cable. Existing cables had huge connectors (30 pin) and in the case of USB micro had a life of maybe 1-2 years max from the pins and/or teeth wearing out. The problem is that

Interesting. I always assumed that the immediate dial tone after origin disconnected in movies & TV was for dramatic effect to let watchers know that the person hung up the phone.

The Internet is becoming spammy and bad because of Google's rules for ranking. The fact that Google favors newer content and longer pages with filler text is why people are making the content lower quality.

Apple needs to at least adjust their iCloud storage tiers to match their phones. The jump from 200GB to 2TB is ridiculous and feels like extortion. The 50GB -> 200GB is also ridiculous because it can't even support a full backup of

Microsoft tried moving away from legacy Windows with UWP. The long term plan was probably for UWP to replace core Windows with that. Windows will be around for at least a few more decades until everything is a web app. But leadership under
