I think it definitely depends on the persons needs. I use my phone for maps when I am going somewhere I am unfamiliar with. I use it for pod casts and audio books all the time. I use it for checking my bank account. Could I use something else to do these? Sure, but do I have access to all of the secondary devices to accomplish all of the above, not always. So yeah, the smart phone did become the catch all for a ton of daily processes, and I don’t have to carry 10 devices anymore.
Why do we even want humanoid robots?
Still impressive, I only use YouTube for music at work, be pretty hard in my mind to link my Google account to my work computer that is on a corporate VPN that is out of a data center like 500 miles away.
It would appear so. Again, it was the most dramatic case of random coincidence or incredibly good association algorithm.
This is the photo sent to me
This is what YouTube suggested to me the very next day
No, I can’t sign in on my work computer.
I had something crazy like this happen recently. A friend of mine sent me a photo to my personal phone of an expensive liquor. The very next day on my work computer, on my work network, YouTube suggested a short video about the same expensive liquor that I had never looked anything up about previously.
How the hell a photo from on device managed to track me like that was impressive. The algorithm is watching us.
About time. Have you had a Jarritos? Shits like 50% sugar.
Palm pilot. You an OG. I miss my little palm.
I keep thinking our AI will lead us to something like the Eloi of the Time Machine, and the Morlocks will be the machines that run everything.
Before we go this drastic, can we increase our representation in congress? 435 isn’t enough. Using a number determined about 100 years ago has forced congressional members to represent more and more people, helping to polarize the house.
Engineers be like…
1041/365 =2,852
.852*365=310.980
Thus 2 y 311 d. Or really, fuck it 3 y
Edit. #til
The lemmy app on my phone does basic calculator functions.
I guess this is the bomb truck from command and conquer
Aren’t private trackers the best method? But good luck getting an invite to them.
Side note, if someone has connections, I’m interested.
Black mirror episode IRL.
Kind of. Definitely said that if we continue to degrade local climates, we could face massive risks to population centers.
To be fair though, he’s been writing on this topic for nearly 20 years. His book collapse is still one of the best history books I’ve read.
Opteron, what year is this?
Praise be to Gaben!
Not really. Most of the rural plans in the US are run by utilities companies that are local.
That sounds dystopian
