You’ve mistaken the manufacturers aluminum cost cutting measure for a feature.

Ha yeah. I would absolutely confirm there is no data connection

Can confirm. I’m a tech worker. No smart devices. Laser printer. Very close to going back to a flip phone.

I am looking at some smart locks, but they’re able to be used as dumb locks with PIN code and physical key also. And they have a usb power port on the outside you could plug a battery into.

I’ve gone down the smart home route a decade ago and only did non-cloud integrated devices with physical controls also. But it’s a part time hobby to maintain it.

ChatGPT can make ridiculous claims about what it can do. It sometimes even says that it does real world things when it’s laughably impossible.

Strange. I’ve been a daily user for 4 years. I’ve still never seen Nazi stuff. It got more political in the past 6 months, but that’s expected.

Yes, people are using it as the least efficient communication protocol ever.

One side asks an LLM to expand a summary into a fluff filled email, and the other side asks an LLM to reduce the long email to a summary.

This is a primary use for me. A couple times per day.

That’s part of what makes LLMs so popular with software engineers, they solve lots of trivial daily computer tasks.

9. Get off my lawn.

It’s not the same. Google is a US company.

It makes sense that it would use the GNIS, a system of the USGS, to put names on places.

It hasn’t changed here yet, but I figure when it does, Google will reflect the change.

To force chaos, and so they can show the “Trump fixed this” message

I can understand your point until you get to the “there is no other platform like TikTok”. You lose me there.

Hopefully this little outage scare helps you to diversify!

That would require digital age competence. We don’t elect that, we like old rich dudes.

There’s no process to go through again. The law is in place now. It didn’t Target TikTok specifically by name. It’s based on foreign company ownership and number of US users. I don’t know the specifics though

Absolutely ageed. Apple isn’t leaning into ALVR and Steam VR support at all (understandably, given the ties to Mac).

Will be interesting to see where it goes. I wish someone could hack a corded TCP/IP solution. WiFi makes the ALVR finicky.

I agree with this simple yet unpopular opinion. I don’t need feelings and thought police.

Yeah that’s me. Back when I used Facebook you could say whatever the hell you wanted, and I thought and still think that’s how it should be.

For some reason this is now an unpopular opinion? What do I care if someone posts mean things? That’s life, people say mean shit all the time. We trying to stop that??

It does, through steamvr with a pc

I bought it. Only because I have the disposable income and could make it a business expense. That said, I use it as a gaming headset 95% of the time. It has an ALVR app so you can do Steam VR. I play mainly just flight simulator.

It’s good for working and watching entertainment on a plane also tho.

Depends on which team you ask.

Could it also be that the opinions you’ve mentioned, the “right”, are the majority, and they had been disproportionally silenced in favor of giving megaphones to the minority?

I could go both ways on this and it’s very hard to see, but I’m not in favor of disproportionally silencing or promoting any agenda or voice
