Can we just have both entities annihilate each other? Please? They’re both shit
It’s not a now thing. It’s already here. My thermostat, sprinkler controller, and rice cooker all run Android
And if that public company has stock in the toilet it’s worth fuck all to unload
Federated directories. We’re going back to Yahoo like it’s 1995
And it’s still worse than a picture of a hill in Sonoma
Replace the CEO with an AI. They’re both good at lying and telling people what they want to hear, until they get caught
overwatch style
You mean team fortress style
Can’t wait for them to never roll it out
Alexa and Google home came out nearly a decade ago
I quite like kagis universal summarizer, for example. It let’s me know if a long ass YouTube video is worth watching
So you want Kagi
Kagi generated key points:
- The new Find My Device network on Android was designed with a strong focus on user security and privacy.
- The network uses a crowdsourced approach to locate lost or misplaced devices and belongings, even when they are offline.
- The location data reported by participating Android devices is end-to-end encrypted, ensuring Google cannot access or use the location information.
- The network has “aggregation by default” as a safety feature, requiring multiple nearby devices to detect a Bluetooth tag before reporting its location to the owner.
- The network also has protections to avoid contributing location reports when near the user’s home address.
- Rate limiting and throttling are used to prevent malicious real-time tracking, while still allowing the network to be useful for finding lost items.
- The network is compliant with industry standards for unwanted tracking, triggering alerts on both Android and iOS devices.
- Users have full control over which of their devices participate in the network and how.
- The network design has undergone internal security testing and is part of Android’s vulnerability rewards program.
- Prioritizing user safety and privacy is an ongoing commitment as the team continues to improve the Find My Device protections.
On the subreddits I moderated, I used a big regexp to preemptively filter their comments
Letting one through was a rare event
How about they cut executive pay instead of fucking the rank and file over
No. They used to be extremely good
So just set Calibre to convert the books to mobi before sending it to them
Google Messages.
And yeah, I think it really has had that effect. Most people don’t know about it; I had to show my father how to set it up. They put a banner up on the app once when they introduce it, or when you first open Messages, but a ton of people just dismiss the banner and then don’t see it.
Versus apple who has a big show where they show off all the new shit they’re doing, and the press breathlessly covers it, trickling it down to the average consumer.
All the people I’ve seen playing it don’t seem to show any specific way to do mixed use, so if it does exist it’s probably just a thing that happens automatically on high density housing units
Almost like using a single giant wiper is a bad idea
Bbbbbbbut it looks cool!
