All I know is since they introduced this feature I received 4 spam messages about crypto, whereas in the past several years I received 0 such messages. Overall a net negative for me.

I mean, probably. But there's no smoking gun here, just wild speculation. Someone should dig deeper and ask Microsoft / OpenAI to disclose exactly how they obtained the "threat intelligence". Here's the full report

We've had the Hololens for 8 years (and VR for even longer) and no groundbreaking apps or features showed up. I suspect there simply aren't any. And there probably won't be any until we get the tech down to just look like reg

I was mostly talking about the Enterprise subscriptions (E3/E5) that CTOs really love getting for their employees. Glad to hear the home subscription provides good value to you.

Bundling should be regulated in general. It's similar to Microsoft 365 jacking up the prices by claiming they're adding more "value" with products / features no one asked for. I use almost nothing else from Amazon b

Idea is interesting, but zooming in every time you click on something is very unintuitive; if this is for "exploration" it should keep the zoom level while you click on things. Also a direct link to Wikipedia would be nice instead

I have AdGuardHome running in a Docker on the PVE that also hosts my router (OpnSense) in a VM. They both have an uptime of 341 days (which was the last time I did a scheduled kernel upgrade on the host machine). There is no reason for a re

I've leased 3 Nissan Leafs from the same salesman because he has a no-bs pricing model. What he advertises is exactly what you pay, no additional fees or anything. He earned a bunch of #1 salesman of the year in the world awards precis

It's obvious that Apple's incentives around developing more standards (that make PWAs more potent) directly conflict with their walled garden (AppStore) revenues. In this regard, they are remarkably similar to Microsoft's Int

I don't even share my Hulu account, but this anti-competitive move was just the last tiny push I needed to cancel Hulu and Disney+ since we barely use it anyway. Needed to go through 3 pages of "are you sure?", "here&#x2

Get a laser printer. None of the things you mentioned apply to my Brother laser printer, it works beautifully, over WiFi, and with 3rd party toners and I never had a paper jam or signed up for a subscription.

I bet someone built a SaaS for this purpose already, right? Escrow, interest, all that :) But yes, I'm willing to take the bet.

Yes. HoloLens came out 8 years ago, at the same price point and pretty much with the same set of features (only slightly larger). The only reason it flopped (and Microsoft stopped investing in it) is lack of compelling applications. Absolut

I called it a failure and stand by that statement. There is no killer app / feature on this product, the only thing keeping it alive is the "Apple hype". I imagine the few consumers that bought into it will soon realize its u

It's surprising Apple went ahead and released this product that will 100% be a flop in the market. Many hoped Apple would have the "killer feature/app" that would make AR/VR relevant, but instead they launched yet a

Who's the "you" in "you can trust"? If it's the DRM assholes looking for remote attestation and other ways to take ownership away from device owners, then that's an amazing outcome in my mind. If you'

My only hope is that some of the Apple fans start to see through the thick veil of PR bs and realize Apple is just as bad (if not worse) than the other tech assholes / technofeudal lordship wannabes of Microsoft, Google et al.

Data brokers rarely collect from ad companies. They buy in bulk from the states who are all too happy to sell them driver licensing data, plus property records and other public sources.

Because those crap pages are filled to the brim with Google Ads that make up the most of their revenue, it's a conflict of interest.

I used to get all riled up about these assholes but then took a step back, looked at my own usage (which I believe is typical for the majority) and realized I didn't purchase an app (or did an IAP) in over 5 years. So let them burn thr

I'm curious how long the battery lasts. Since it's Android based I presume it doesn't have a deep-sleep option. Ideally I'd want it to wake up once every 10-30 minutes, fetch a frame to display from a LAN server and go b
