That shape will sadly never stay in my ears. The Airpods Pro barely stay in, unless I eat, talk or sweat and they're less protruding from my ear.

Ads, Google is the world's largest ad company. Internally they can do anything EXCEPT fuck with the ad revenue. If you get more ways to get data off users and ad views, good.

Because most people outside of the US find fake excitement off-putting and borderline creepy.

Which Chinese alternatives are available with similar quality in ANC, sound quality and fit? Like actual brands I can buy today, not the kind that has a brand name that was created by someone rolling their head on the keyboard and won'

Listening to music while out and about doesn't equate to "completely oblivious". I've seen people with no earbuds be completely oblivious and almost walk into traffic...

Yea, it's like we have a super smart alien computer that can do anything but we need to spend massive amounts of time building fences and moats and write extremely detailed instructions so it doesn't run away and try to "help

This is why I have a PROJECT.md in all my repos, which specifically reiterates that this is a greenfield single user project that never leaves my LAN. It tends to relax some of the insane things LLMs tend to do.

Go with a Kobo. I switched to the Libra Colour and not going back. Physical buttons, sideloading without any trickery, first party support for alternative firmwares and frontends. Also not owned by a man who can RENT VENICE for his wedding.

Just a cursory search on my local used stuff marketplace says I can grab a Gen 3 ATV for 10€. A 1st gen 4k (which is the one I have) is about 100€ and still runs the latest tvOS. It's more expensive than a 40€ Chromecast, but also SO M

But on the Apple TV you don't need to enable or disable anything. There are no ads, there has been no ads and I'm pretty sure there will be no ads.

Apple TV is the best one. No ads, full OS updates for a long time.

I'd much prefer grammar slips than a LLM-ified post.

And in this case the model is flipping a million coins. Just one of them is always set to "heads". People saying they can tell from the output are just huffing glue.

I remember the massive hubbub about the Mortal Engines movie specifically. The only thing I remembered about the main character was that she had a scar on her face. Fans were nitpicking every single strand of hair and I was like "You g

This is exactly how my brain works too, everything is related to everything. A specific set of words can trigger a memory of a song for example. There's a lot of "I know it when I see it" kind of things, I need to find one li

My brain is like a vector database, it stores the "feelings" of information, not the actual information - if that makes sense? I can make lightning fast connections in my head when something happens, like when something breaks in

The best way I can describe is that my brain is a vector database. Stuff is linked to other stuff. There is no visual component to any of it, it's just "feels" as the kids say. I couldn't imagine any of my family's

It does affect things though. Like reading books. I _HATE_ reading books that spend pages and pages explaining how things look to a very detailed degree even when it's not relevant to the plot in any way - it's just set dressing.

That's been my goal too, know a bit of everything - enough to know it exists and maybe Know A Guy I can ask if I need to know something more specific. Now in many cases the "Guy" is an LLM. I know enough to know when the LLM

And based on just on the list above that'd be at least 11 clicks (a lot more since you'd need to find the app in the software manager first before you can click install"

What the current regime has brought to light is that WAY too much of the American "checks and balances" are based on "trust me bro" and "a person with morals just wouldn't do that". Zero penalties for doin

And Gish Gallop. Basically lie so much and so fast that the fact checkers can't keep up. It also helps when their voter base literally couldn't care less about "truth".

Privacy is the niche they know Google can never follow. Apple sells hardware, Google is an ad company.
