Anyone who bought an internet of shit device with a video screen should have seen this coming. Amazon put ads in their internet of shit TVs. Why wouldn’t you expect ads everywhere else?

Jeff sounds like he's trying to kick off another round of funding for his c-tier rocket company. Weâ(TM)ll have data centers with dedicated SMRs on site long before we have data centers in space. Hell, we might have fusion powered data centers before it's cost effective to built them in space.

It’s not going to be long before people are selling hard core porn video wallpapers on OnlyFans and Patreon.

When I buy a phone I either buy it right there in the store or order one immediately. I’m clumsy and I’m not taking a chance. Taking time out of my day to deal with a phone replacement is a PITA.

There are people and organizations out there that will gladly buy a laptop that can only run signed apps downloaded from the app store with an administrator account. Schools will love this. So will people who have to buy a computer for their grandparents.

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.

Trump is going to slap a tariff on countries that donâ(TM)t use office software from Microsoft or Apple.

This is just a publicity stunt. Being the default search engine in the most popular browser is worth much, much more than that offer. Perplexity just doesnâ(TM)t have enough money for marketing so theyâ(TM)re being stupid instead.

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.

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.

I was using Android from 2015 to this January and I never even heard of instant apps.

We need NGOs to fund education about nuclear power. Much of the opposition to nuclear power is rooted in ignorance of how clean and safe it really is. If we can teach people the truth then there would be many more reactors built.

Microsoft spent years developing Wordpad, killed Wordpad, and is now adding Wordpad features to Notepad. The stupidity never stops in Windows world.

This is a good start. But somebody has to pay for it. Make tech companies pay for reactors to power their massive data centers. Either that or tax tech bro billionaires and use the money for reactors.

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!
