Comment Dumb fridges: combing soon to rich people (Score 1) 261

In ten years only rich people will be able to afford a new refrigerator that doesn’t have a screen and require a persistent internet connection to operate. You’re going to see ads where a woman in a BMW pulls into her garage, walks into a modernist kitchen, and uses her bare arm, decorated with a Vacheron Constantin watch, to open a screenless refrigerator.

Comment Letâ(TM)s have even more labels (Score 1) 215

There should be labels like:
The artist doesnâ(TM)t own the master recording
The artist doesnâ(TM)t own the publishing
The artist has never made any money from this album

Just so consumers know when itâ(TM)s okay to pirate an album because the artist doesnâ(TM)t get a dime anyway.

Comment Because it sucked. (Score 1) 241

Prime Day deals sucked this year. Most of the deals it showed me were the same prices the stuff sells for any other day. The best discounts were on Fire TVs and Kindles, both of which I bought on Prime Day in previous years. The only discount that was interesting was a jacket I had looked at the day before which got 40% off.

Apple’s developers can’t even get Siri to pronounce words consistently. Half the time it says “Amazon” or “remastered” to me Siri mispronounces the word. I laugh at the idea that Apple can turn Siri into a serious competitor to ChatGPT. I know that some people will say that this is a new team in a different country, they’ll build something great from scratch. But if Apple was capable of making a good Siri they would have hired good people the first time around!
