Day to day, I’d take a dry 100 degrees. My problem is a like to do cardio exercise outside, like run and bike. 100 degrees makes that significantly more difficult and dangerous. We’ve had upper 90s and high humidity the last couple of weeks and it’s been tough to do anything more than about 20 minutes at a time.

On the other hand, I love to snowboard, which can’t happen in triple digits. Snow and ice depending, biking and running are doable at single digit temps. I hate walking outside and feeling pain from the cold temps.

I’d probably take the triple digits and travel for cold vacations.

Imagine not understanding that single digits == cold and triple digits== hot. It’s funny how everyone else seemed to figure it out.

Let’s use our child brain for a minute so hopefully I can help you understand this. Let’s assume that the initial post was in celcius. Single digits is cool and livable. What about triple digits? Do you think that living at triple digits celcius is even a viable option? Did you really need someone to identify the unit of measure for you to understand the question?

Your pedantry makes you look like an idiot that has no critical thinking ability.

VHS, Care Bears rainy day off, and TV recordings of various other cartoons. I grew up on network television with a heavy focus on The Simpsons.

This all feels like there’s a simple solution. Have scheduled and consistent closed note (or hand written) quizzes and essay style tests. The people that use AI to do all the work will bomb or they will have learned what’s necessary, and the homework was just busy work anyway.

There is a clarification from Google in he article that I don’t believe was there when I first posted. It still by default allows Gemini to have access to things I don’t want it to access, which is anything. It can be blocked through the Gemini apps activity, but I don’t think that was clear in the OG text.

None the less, they claim that it will be completely offline and that no information will be used to train their models. I believe that’s probably true in the short term, but I don’t trust them as far as I can throw them, and I’ve got fucked up shoulders. I’ve little doubt that they will change policy in 6 months to a year so that some data is sent anonymously.

I just want it so if I say don’t allow this thing at all, ever, that stays true and they don’t make me later opt out of that thing.

For sure, as long as that’s a viable option for me, I’ll do it, but if I don’t have that option…

It’s good to know that it’s easily reversible of necessary

I should rephrase. They don’t make cheap bad products. I think iOS, Mac OS, and their walled garden approach makes their hardware a bad product. Compound that with being exorbitantly expensive for what you get, and that’s always been too much to overcome for me to support. Now they are/have becoming the less bad option.

I do have it disabled, but this article suggests that it will ignore that and it will be integrated in apps that I really really don’t want it in. I could stomach it if it was search and other functionality like that only, or even if it 100% ran local with no ability to phone home and train on my data, but it doesn’t. Not that it can be listening to calls, reading messages, etc, I’m definitely hard out.

My old one is a 6, so I think it should be supported. I really just need to bite the bullet and do it.

The title isn’t there to tell the whole story though. It should give a high level summary and then the details are in the article. If you hypothetically put something like what you suggested, it still doesn’t give all of the context, and the title would need to be longer to include the history of Musk, his drug use, his position with Tesla, etc, and you can’t put that all in the title. I’m all for dunking on that Nazi whenever we can, but I personally don’t think that the title of this article deserves any criticism, especially in the age of clickbait titles that don’t give anything, this one is decently descriptive.

I’ve been Android and Windows user for pretty much all of my life. Vehemently anti Apple because of the company and I’ve thought the products are trash. I’ve been 100% Linux for over a year and a half, and if this Gemini stuff comes through, I will not have an android phone either. I have a Pixel and my old still functional Pixel. I need to try installing grapheneOS or something else and trial it to see if it will work for me.

If Linux isn’t an option for me in the future for whatever reason, I will be purchasing a Mac. I will never have a Windows machine for the rest of my life if I have any say in the matter, work being the obvious and uncontrollable exception. The fact that I’m even entertaining the idea of owning an iPhone or a Mac is really telling about how far Android and Windows and enshitified.

The headline to me clearly is stating that people are not buying Teslas and are buying alternative Chinese based EVs instead. I think that anyone that’s heard Elon’s name over the past 6 months can read between the lines and understand the causation here.

Firefly == lightning bug

Used to catch them growing up. There would be thousands of them periodically blinking in the yard and across the field every night. It was pretty and serene.

I saw one just the other night when I let my dogs out before going to bed. It was so surprising that I had to wait a minute and verify I wasn’t just seeing things. It was a real life lightning bug. It was a happy sad moment.

Chase powder and try to snowboard year round until I physically can’t. I’d love to have a highlight video of riding spines in Alaska. Really, if I could have the skills and the means to be able to compete on the natural selection tour, even if I didn’t compete, just be good enough to do so, that would be heaven.

That says a lot about how worthless if a human he is.

I’ve been gaming with a 2080ti in Wayland for about a year now. I can’t say I’ve had any issues related to my graphics card at all. The only hiccups I’ve had are with a couple of games, maybe two, that I had to tweak to run. They were known issues with public fixes. It’s been a great experience.

There was an issue a few months back with multi monitor setups. Anytime I changed a monitor input, it would hard lock. It’s fixed now.

There seems like a very easy solution here that doesn’t require AI.

I love text chats with a person, but I feel most of the time that when I start with a text chat with a bot and get transferred to a real agent, they ask all of the same questions, like info gathering name, phone, email, etc. it’s almost as if the real people can’t see the transcript of the conversation I had with the bot.

The thing is, most of those chats that I’ve worked with for years are simple chat bots, not AI, and those are plenty effective for their purpose. They have their preset question tree and that’s it. I may also be a little skewed in my experiences compared to a lot of people, since I’ve worked in IT for over a decade, so often when in reaching out to service, it’s something more advanced where I need a person to actually talk to. Also, anything billing or containing private information. I under no circumstances want that fed into an LLM or accessible to an AI agent so it can be shared accidentally to someone else.
