Just because you click on it that doesn’t make it accurate.

Given the choice between clicks/engagement and accuracy, is pretty clear Google’s for the former is what got us into this hell hole.

Reddit-Bot: “You can get a large one topping pizza from Dominoes™ for just nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell, and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer’s table.”

Yeah, for me, I’m looking for prettier not fastest after 120 Hz or so

Seeing how some very particular relatives are, I wonder if much of the gas leaf blower crowd is less “watch me stick it to the libs” and more “look at me, I’m cleaning my yard, that makes me better than you”

This somehow makes me less trusting of the previous comment.

But lets be honest, even Duck Duck Go is better than Google these days.

I hate to say it, because I love their privacy policy, but it we’re being honest, it’s not. DDG mostly uses Bing, and I struggle to find what I’m after on that engine. I have better results with Brave search, who now run their own index (but their tech bro CEO leaves me nervous at every turn)

Don’t forget to upload some ISOs as well! Keep the network healthy and happy :)

Even the article about how Google’s tracking is bad is loaded with Google trackers.

They’ll give you 3 free months of identity monitoring. Retail rate: $3. Wholesale: $0.01. They’re so thoughtful.

It’d be tough, but I guess we could dig her up and try?

I mean I disagree with most of what the person you’re responding to is saying, but they are entering into a new stage of vehicular liability. By telling the driver they don’t have to pay attention there is an implied transfer of liability.

It probably says somewhere in the terms of use that Mercedes isn’t at fault or that you have to carry some special kind of insurance, and frankly computers have a pretty good shot at being better than your average human driver so they’ll hopefully be easier to insure, but nevertheless, people on both sides of every accident for the first few years with this tech will sue. Any chance to squeeze a few milly out of a 100 billion dollar car company.

Agreed, and I’ll add, as an EV owner, none of the brands above them have anything resembling a respectable EV lineup, except maybe BMW, but that’s being generous. Toyota, Honda, and their subsidiaries make great cars, but they’ve dragged their feet more than anyone on the EV market.

As far as I’m concerned, if you’re looking at this from an EV buyer’s perspective, KIA/Hyundai top the list (which is reflected in CR’s EV ratings, giving them the top spot for the last few years)

Also, for better or worse, pause tells X “if you figure out how to fix this problem we might come back.” Canceled says “go find someone else who is cool with Nazis.”

Having that financial incentive dangling in a string might be more motivating for X to change. If they don’t change of course, the net effect is the same as canceling.

Okay how about Consumer Reports (an independent member-funded nonprofit), who put Kia/Hyundai at 10/11, admittedly showing Genesis much lower in the pack (18). Kia/Hyundai still beat out every American manufacturer on the list (not that its an overwhelmingly high bar).

They’re definitely not perfect, but more middle of the road than older stigmas might have people believe.

Yeah, but “My Pillow and meth” money is very different from “new car” money

As you can read in line 35,863 of the Terms of Service you agreed to:

Fuck you you fucking piece of shit. We own you, all of your data, your computer, and your first born child. Just fucking try and sue us. Were worth a trillion fucking dollars, what are you worth? $150,000 of student loan debt for that degree you don’t even use? When we say jump you jump. When we say uninstall the software, you uninstall that fucking software. Capiche?

Also if you’ve made a web app, let it be installed as a web app. Both FF and Chrome let you install web apps in one click.

or people like me who might need a phone reminder because I’ll forget I put a load in and get busy with something else

This. As someone with ADHD, it’s very helpful to get an extra alert when my washer/dryer is done.

I used to pull this off with a Zigbee Smart Outlet + HA, which is frankly an OK fix, but did not work for my electric dryer.

When it came time to replace my old appliances, I got a smart washer & dryer, said what the hell and put it on an isolated network. It’s connected to HA via the cloud (not ideal but ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯). It just works, and I wind up with mildewy neglected clothes less often.

It’s not perfect, but I’m willing to deal with isolating 2 appliances to cover for my attention span.
