There’s one out there, named something like kangaroo, where they actually have signed firmware, and a hardware read/write switch (most of the time, the read/write switch is software based) parentheses.

What the hell did I just waste 30 seconds of my life on?

But if they’re having to manually edit 700 of 1000 orders, then it’s like saying “self driving but we have someone take over every 5 minutes”. Which is extremely misleading when they say “it’s AI!!!”

It’s a great big universe
And we’re all really puny
We’re just tiny little specks
About the size of Mickey Rooney
It’s big and black and inky
And we are small and dinky
It’s a big universe, and we’re not!

Also for iOS, News Explorer. It uses iCloud to sync between your devices, everything is on device, and it will even somehow do Reddit feeds! (Uh, I mean, if you still do that, maybe…). One time payment. Glorious.

Have any recommendations?

You can set a background as an image. And if you’re worried about it not being convincing enough, you can use a greenscreen

Except since there’s no actual GPS tracker, it uses your IP address. Microsoft thinks I live in either Virginia or North Dakota or Florida, depending on which part of the company’s VPN I connect to.

And if you understand this joke, time to schedule your colonoscopy

I’ll be honest, when I first heard that Mozilla had come out with an AI I figured it was on the back of them trying a couple different ad scenarios, and assumed the worst. Pleasantly surprised by Orbit.

Actually, their new AI thing is actually useful: stays on-device, and summarizes web pages and videos.

But yes, they could stand to spend more money on the browser, and less on their CEO and other non-browser things.

Yeah, no kidding. I just bought tickets for a $15 show that has multiple bands and included a overseas band. I mentioned to them that they should’ve upped the prices to $20.

Also: Sturgeon‘s law still applies: “90% of everything is crap“. Music is so amazingly easy to make these days you can do it on your phone (and I believe a Grammy nominated/winning album did so). Which means that there are literally thousands of albums every year, And so there will be a lot of crap. But between Bandcamp and Spotify and SoundCloud (and so on, even self-hosting), this is the freaking plutonium age if you like new music. There is literally so much that you can’t possibly keep up with it, even in sub genres. And there are some amazing gems coming out daily

Anytime, always happy to talk prog++

Night Verses, Cloudkicker, The Algorithm -Brute Force, Sgaile, Wintersun, and then to mix it up a bit: Standards, and Lantlös

Which prog bands?

“nearly identical on foreign policy”

Um, not even close. Unfortunately they range from “fine with it” to “actively support genocide” with Israel, but they’re not even in the same realm. See Ukraine and NATO for 2 counterexamples, and authoritarians have entered the chat.

And the entirety of Brute Force. “Engage Brute Force Attack”. Shellcode, userspace, deadlock… such a fantastic album.

That article reads like the AI wrote it
