Subscription based navigation? Want to use your car’s navigation system, there’s a fee for that? Want to fly a drone, that’ll be 9.99/month. Hopefully there will be a carve out for emergency systems.

This will also allow Tesla to up their traffic game. If everyone is using the Starlink GPS for navigation they’ll have all the data.

Well now I can say Disney is woke. They woke up to kiss the ring and bow down to a fucking shit lip.

Wondering if someone somehow linked your Gmail (email you received this on) to their proton account. I was looking for an email you could forward this to to report it to proton but could not find one.

As always, if an email looks suspect, don’t click anything. Just wish there was a way to report it.

OP stated this was sent to their Gmail, so wouldn’t have the tag.

I can actually see some practical use for this. Imagine a textbook for programming or system administration with a built in terminal and feedback loop to walk students through examples and correct mistakes.

I could also see them being manipulated by outside powers so that weapons might mysteriously end up in foreign hands.

They are both ignorant and pliable.

Oooh do you think that would work on my 96kbps mp3s?

We absolutely should have more specialized LLMs. That being said we have dozens of tools that convert documents and data. Also any engineer worth a nickel should be able to whip something up in an hour or so for most cases.

I don’t think they are that bright.

no internet access, no power, no retail.

Does this actually sound like a utopia to anyone else or just me?

But Mexico has 63 more miles of coastline on the Gulf than the USA does.

He’ll solve that too.

Yes they do and I do add my own tech but my experience with some of these devices has not been great.

I have LG TVs which I connected to the network and have been updated over the years to have really bad UX and are now polluted with ads.

I had an LG sound bar that was great for a while until it completely stopped working. Powers on, all functions seem to work, just no sound. Originally it worked as a Chromecast device too, but they stopped doing updates and Google stopped working with the old API.

My fear is that eventually there will be an update that bricks a device. Now I’ve taken them off the network, but how long before we have TVs that require Internet to even function.

These smart TVs have a lot more hardware and software than they need which means a lot more to break.

Miss the days when you could buy a dumb TV and add the tech you wanted.

And even those who legitimately are not have been convinced by those who are that talking about sex and the body is bad and leads to evil things.

All of these things will protect kids from the radical left. Now remember, conservatives project to confess, and read what you wrote again.

But what the actual fuck can anyone say to defend removing any discussion about consent‽

Because women are property. They belong to their father until they are married and then they belong to their husbands. Men and boys have no reason to give consent.

Yeah, if this were a problem with teens they would likely threaten to trespass them.

I heard a really good explanation of this on NPR. Homeless is a label put on a person, similar to saying a person is a redhead. The implication of saying that someone is homeless is that it defines who they are, that it cannot be easily changed.

Unhoused is more descriptive of the situation that a person is in. This is a condition that can be changed, it isn’t who the person is.

As I revisit this and think it through though, it seems like another way of pushing the goal. There are absolutely negative connotations with the word homeless, but the same venom will eventually attach to unhoused as well.

This is why I prefer “smart” controls for dumb things. If the control gets bricked I can replace it or the thing will still work without it.

For anyone like this to be a good thing there needs to be a system of checks and balances. There should be an appeal process that is low effort and low or zero cost. There should also be a verification process by a third party before anything can be added.
