As advanced cruise control? It's great. As what it's marketed as? It's fraud.

This is what I find the most surprising. I was under the impression that ChatGPT was still "research" and wouldn't be ready for prime time for a while. These rushed products that don't live anywhere near up to the hype s

Seeing a lot of criticism towards Sundar lately, and it's not without merit. There is blood in the water now and I wouldn't be surprised if his time is limited. He is good as a caretaker who didn't rock the boat, but Google n

It's hard to find the real chou doufu in major cities these days. Even the stuff in most night markets is toned down so as not to scare off tourists and piss off the other vendors. I remember the first time I encountered it was in 2000

Ads aside, the UI of Youtube and Maps is atrocious. There is so much room for improvement here, but it will never happen from Google. It's just not in their DNA. Unfortunately, they have such a huge moat here I doubt we'll see any

Sort of, similar to how an email domain does and how others might perceive you based on whether you have an @hotmail, @gmail, @outlook address. I'm using mastodon.social since I signed up years ago, but if I were to create an account t

I guess it depends who you follow. Most iOS Developers I followed on Twitter have all migrated to Mastodon, as well as many indie game devs. My Mastodon feed is actually significantly more interesting these days than Twitter. For fun I just

It's actually pretty simple. Just sign up to any instance/server. It doesn't really matter which one. You can follow and interact with anyone, regardless of which server they signed up for. Then it's just like Twitter fo

Exactly. It will be a huge misstep if they don't take the opportunity to do a rebranding here. It's not that Bing is terrible (well the name is, but that could be arguable). It's that after at all of these years Bing has beco

If the wine glasses were sold with the promise that in one year I'd receive a solution to apply to them that would truly make them unbreakable? Yes, I would call it fraud.

At minimum, I can't see anything other than Tesla being forced to refund FSD purchases. It's fraud, plain and simple. But whether it's due to the embarrassment of being swindled or being drunk on the Kool-Aid, the amount of T

For the average user does it even matter what server/instance you join? From what I can tell, once you sign up you can search for, follow, find, post, re-post etc. anything from anyone regardless of which server you sign up with.

I said the same thing even a few weeks ago, but the momentum for Mastodon is growing rapidly and it's really impressive to see, and Ivory is a very impressive client even in beta. Almost everyone I followed on Twitter is using it now,

Another short-sighted and bizarre move by a bizarre. fragile, little man. The number of users on third-party clients could not have been significant enough to justify this. At very least, the developers could have been given some notice or

That's hardly the case anymore and it's one of the main points the article is making. It doesn't matter who you follow when well over half your feed is composed of ads, suggested reels, and two week old TikTok reposts from ra

Playing dumb and framing himself as just a kid who was out of his element appears to be his team's strategy to try and minimize his personal consequences in all of this. He is a highly educated individual that was literally born on Sta

It's convenient, until you've written 90% of your app in record time and then end up so blocked on the remaining 10% you wish you would have just used UIKit. I love how quick and easy SwiftUI is for simple, Apple-like / stock

That's not really a comparable analogy. More like "Here is this cool feature I'm going to make by the end of the year, pay me $5,000 for it now." and you never actually get it. It's fraud.

Comparing a bad psychedelic trip to a bad experience with cannabis or alcohol is kind of trivializing it. A moderate LSD dose can last 8-12 hours and at its peak is much, much more intense. Unless you have some valium on hand, if things go

What a bizarre statement. By that logic, someone can't say Trump is a failed president unless they've become president themselves.

I miss the days when Jobs would tell shareholders to pound sand rather than make product compromises. Under Tim Cook, there is no possible way things will get better, and I suspect they will get much worse. They'll continue making what

Similar story here. 20 years ago I was a Windows user. I had no love for Windows, but I put up with it. I had never even considered buying a Mac because to me they were just overpriced dumbed down PCs for people who were not technical. I di

I enjoyed it, although not as much as most critics. I found it took a few episodes to hit its stride, and enjoyed the first and second seasons. At its heart it's a character drama, so if you're watching it only for the science int

It's just another thing to add to the pile that should make anybody question why on earth people think he is a genius. The mythos he has created around himself is comical and it's mind-blowing that anyone actually believes it. He
