Plex, Jellyfin, Kodi, etc. are somewhat popular pieces of software among those people who have home media streaming libraries. People like me who like to purchase DVDs / BluRays of movies and TV shows, rip them to disk, and then never touch the original media again.

They all descended from the original XBox Media Player, if you remember that from way back.

In my experience, I haven't had to touch my library when moving from one of these apps to another... so shifting to a different app hasn't been particularly difficult or time-consuming.

It's more likely that it died down because Musk effectively poisoned the brand in the eyes of the company's target audience - few people care about Tesla anymore.

TFS appears to be attempting to conflate the phone-buying habits of individual consumers with business hardware replacement cycles and productivity. It appears to be complete garbage.

I am left to assume this was shadow written by someone in the marketing department from some large tech company - e.g. Dell, Samsung, Apple, Google, Microsoft.

As an aside - it seems pretty wasteful (and pointless) to replace your smartphone even after 29 months, let alone every 22 months.

I'm betting you used to get really worked up in those "hacker vs. cracker" arguments too.

And what's the deal with herbal "tea"?!

How many TikTok "users" are completely passive, never posting and only viewing / listening? I'm guessing most of them.

Even if the prediction of comparatively controlled impact is accurate; I think it's worth considering just how grim it is likely to be; not in purely economic terms; but in the character of the work.

Maybe this is a personal peculiarity; but I that there's something exquisitely dispiriting about beating your head against people who are stubborn or clueless enough that every conversation is just a baffling sequence of different confusions, some of the repeated from previously. It's a totally different thing from dealing with someone who is merely ignorant; but learning, especially if they are enthusiastic about it.

Even if everything is fine in terms of job pace and security and all; that seems like it is shaping up to be a really hellish aspect of dealing with bots. The experience is sort of a somewhat weirder simulation of dealing with a chirpy, people-pleasing, very-junior type; except they are far more likely to lie than to admit ignorance; and they never learn(possibly the SaaS guys hoovering up your interactions in the background will make the next iteration better, possibly not, progress seems to have slowed considerably after only a brief period of improvement; but a given release is more or less full groundhog day).

That seems like a nightmare. Everything that sucks about teaching or mentoring; but precisely none of the rewarding aspects.

I never would have expected THAT. No sirree Bob.

And, to be fair, I've had friends and co-workers run into that sort of thing on Windows. Quite a lot.

Yeah - a smart guy waits at least seven hours...

Jokes on you - the password was "Hunter2"!

I'm pretty sure this was part of a Get Smart episode I saw back when I was a wee lad...

You've won "dumbest idea of the week"!

So maybe they're planning to announce Acetaminophen will be considered a vaccine, going forward...

There's yet another thing we should "thank" Microsoft for...
