I don’t know what kind of setup my GF’s phone had going, but she loved hands-free features like “hi Google” or whatever it was.
I specifically remember having a chit chat verbal conversation with her on her patio while her phone was laying there… and the next day products started getting recommended to me on my phone based on that convo.
My phone at the time was turned off and in my backpack in the house. Somehow the back end logic sewed everything together.

Just to add an anecdote… My friend is beyond millionaire as her father started a retail giant. Anyways, she has money coming out her ass and the prices Amazon shows her are almost consistently 30%-50% than what they show me. Because they know she’s rich AF and they know I’m fairly poor.

Yeah this thread is beyond sad. People want to think they’re savvy consumers; also think every AA battery with a different outer wrapping is made in a dedicated battery factory.

The ingredients of this are going to be white flour, salt, thyme, paprika.
And probably a bunch of other useless shit you don’t want or need to eat.

Cheapflation them back and learn that you don’t need these stupid products. They’re not “convenient” they’re just a way to charge you 10x for the constituent ingredients.

It’s a nightmare to even sign up.
Nothing else to it.
People will move en-masse to new platforms if the switch is easy. Nothing easy about using this platform.
Obv the people here are techy enough to surmount the initial hurdles, but don’t kid yourself, the average person doesn’t know a damned thing. Using tech and understanding tech are two vastly different skills. And you actually need to understand tech to even get started here.

Nobody is afraid of technology.
Most people buying this stuff are just gadget goofs with way too much disposable income, nothing more.

To this very day, with only the slightest amount of technical knowledge, you can log onto people’s existing devices, watch their video feeds, initiate print jobs, etc.
A ‘haha im hax0r’ amusement from 20+ years ago is still going strong.

People like to rag on AI here because it grants them coolness points and because they’re threatened that it will literally do a better job, faster and cheaper than they can. If the so called “tech gurus” around here would think more about the greater good (as in helping to train AI instead of always criticizing it) we’d have a much better society.

I do too, this was my opportunity to say my opinion and not get yelled at lol

I really feel that would sell like hot cakes.
But since nicotine and caffeine are related molecules and are similar neurostimulants, we could just smoke tobacco hey

- Comment on NEVER OBSOLETE 1 week ago:
For crying out loud, thank you!
Power users didn’t flock to these, but they were awesome for a certain demographic. Low skill early tech adopters. Grandma, grampa, mom and dad. Dudes out in rural areas, like my friend’s dad, who only needed to use the PC for 30 minutes a day to keep his farm operation running and couldn’t give 2 shits.
- Comment on Do people who have bad relationship with their parents care about "insults" like "I fucked your mom last night"? Or do you just not care? 1 week ago:
Switching gears a little bit, I heard one of the funniest comebacks from my friends son when he was 12.
He was horsing around with his friends and one said “you’re gayyyyy”.
Scotty, without skipping a beat retorted
“Oh so I fuck your father one time and that makes me gay?”

I just want to let you know that when I was director of production at a multimedia studio, one of the rules in my ux design “bible” was that an interface must never present an “are you sure” prompt to a Quit action. Yes there were fights over it.

- Comment on Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading 4 weeks ago:
I have a lifetime boycott of all things Ubisoft for this very reason. I bought game after game after game from the late 90’s until early 2000’s. 100% of them were legal purchases and with the CD in the drive… "please insert CD " error
Then I became the lead developer for gameloft.com and saw how completely incompetent the French leadership of the company is. Absolute morons to the highest levels.
Never another penny shall be conveyed to Ubi from my holdings.

I mean yeah you can still eat the bananas, and it’s not necessarily a bad thing to have them under ripened as you do end up with a different range of nutrients. I just don’t think as general practice, most people are going to get the best experience if they refrigerate them. Maybe it’s just a bananas I get in my region but I’ve never been able to successfully refrigerate a banana and have it be as good as just left out to ripen naturally
- Comment on what is the best fruit to leave in a fridge? 4 weeks ago:
Generally correct, however there are exceptions. Bananas are absolutely wrecked in the fridge
