Honestly, I'm scared of eating any chicken or beef based foods from McDonalds (or Burger King or Wendy's) at this point. I've had issues with "chicken" nuggets as well as "burgers" being made of something I would not consider the appropriate type of meat.

Fish sandwiches are still okay, for now, since they have trouble replicating the texture. But I avoid them anyway. I don't want to get a bad fish sandwich.

French fries are fine. I know they are coated to stay crispy longer, but at least the texture and flavor are okay.

Comment Posted prices are important-but not exactly easy (Score 1) 168

Posting a price is easy if it's part of your business. Gas stations can update their prices and are incentivized to keep the prices up to date.

A hotel that has a couple supercharging stations may not even be running the charging stations in their parking lot.

My local hospital just put in a couple chargers. No posted signs up but their is a QR code that goes to a link to the current prices. So I guess that's something.

There is a simple answer to this. Don't buy their cars.

I owned three BMWs (two 3-series and a 5-series). Will not buy one again, even though I loved the feel of a BMW on the road. They really are The Ultimate Driving Machine.

But my local BMW service center absolutely sucks and was often disrespectful to my spouse. And (more recently) they have put subscriptions on features that I would expect would be included in the cost. And let's not get into episode of advertisements playing.

So no more BMW for me. And I am fully in the demographic they want: Mid 50s male, significant disposable income, homeowner in the suburbs.

I'm wondering why they don't just continue the Vision Pro team and see where it leads them.

Or maybe they are continuing the team, just getting rid of one skill set?

I don't have any VR system, but even I can see it's not ready for Prime Time yet. But that doesn't mean it won't be in the future.

As for marketing of it, it really should be marketed as a desktop/laptop computer replacement.

Comment The amount of gold in the cameras (Score 3, Funny) 132

I think a part of the issue is the amount of gold and other precious minerals in the cameras.

People are using AI to find out about the cameras and the AI is scrapping comments like this and telling people about the gold. Then people take down the cameras to look for the gold.

Comment Ed Zitron is a hypocrite (Score 1) 140

His podcast Better Offline is squarely targeted at people who are very much online. Indeed his entire gig is the epitome of online living.

If Ed Zitron really felt better offline, he wouldn't be making a living off of a podcast and constant AI bashing.

Not that I necessarily disagree with him though... It's just that the messenger doesn't really befit the message.

> Meta doesn't really know how to do anything else with any skill.

They don't know how to do Facebook very well either: it's been pretty much stagnant and enshittified to death for the past 22 years, and it feels like a forum for greying people whose greying friends haven't bothered to move on either, or to get the date of the next annual meeting of the bridge club.
