Tesla is not uniquely bad - however, it is one of 5 companies that actually already maintains a kill-switch functionality: https://daxstreet.com/list/275984/5-cars-with-factory-kill-s... . The other 4 are BMW, GM,

Thank you for linking that article. I think it expresses exactly where the anti AI sentiment is coming from. With this background understanding I think it is reasonable to see unsolicited AI emails - that deanonymised your address in the fi

Roomba i9. Its predecessor (can't remember the model) lasted for 12 years and its random cleaning algorithm was great. I only bought the i9 because the old ones battery stopped charging and there were no more replacements. It was not s

To be fair Red Media's ties to Russian Financing remains unproven and then there is this other fact: Anthony Blinken, former U.S. Secretary of State alleged the Russian connection and had their social media accounts on Google/Meta

That may well be the case except for my Kyocera printer. I never managed to get the device to stay online for more than 5 minutes on Windows 10. Wanting to print a letter was actually a hassle taking ~15 minutes. When I plugged it into my N

Writers and musicians are mostly broken. If we sum the rising cost of living, AI generated content and piracy, there's almost no reward left for their work. For authors (books) ~70% of all the book sales go to the publisher, not the

I am highly sceptical of all AI features and it seems Gardner and other cyber security experts are starting to wake up as well: The programs let you outsource and automate tasks, such as online searches or writing an email, to an AI agent.

This. Why do features like this always get swept under the rug? Accessibility could be a major feature Firefox gains revenue on. Make it paid, if absolutely necessary. Instead of hopping on the latest hype train.

Firefox has made some shady choices of late. The settings functionality is getting ever more unreliable and they are moving more essential settings to about:config and then you have to go and dig around in there and hope you find all interd

I cannot currently test the Mullvad browser, can you tell us whether it supports Ublock Origin or another competent ad-blocker (is there even another?). Because, frankly the ad-blocker is a make-or-break for me.

I love sashayed. It's always accompanied with a mental image of a person clad in some silk, floor length robe who walks a slightly sidewards, the fabric whispering. I have no idea where that image came from, but it's always there.

I'm certainly in the minority on this site, but I love that they offer noai.duckduckgo.com - I'm really, really tired of AI everywhere. It wouldn't be so bad, if the results were accurate (no idea about duck.ai, since I avoid

Onyx has an AI feature in their boox which came very surprisingly with a firmware update a couple of month ago. It does the same thing - however: this needs constant access to the Internet to work and with boox you can switch it off. The ar
